Why LBI homes get raised

Elevation is the permanent fix for a LBI flood-zone home.

Long Beach Island is an 18-mile barrier island — Barnegat Light, Harvey Cedars, Surf City, Ship Bottom, Beach Haven, and Long Beach Township — with the Atlantic on one side and Barnegat Bay on the other. Nearly every parcel sits in a FEMA flood zone, much of it VE and Coastal A along the ocean and bay. Elevating onto open piling foundations is the standard for building and staying insurable out here.

We handle the whole elevation in LBI end to end: the assessment, the engineered plan, the unified hydraulic lift, the new code-height foundation, and the reconnection — one crew from the first measurement to the final elevation certificate. New to the process? Start with our guide to NJ house-raising rules & permits and what a lift runs in cost, grants & flood insurance.

House raising in LBI: common questions

Do you raise houses in LBI?

Yes. House raising and home elevation in LBI is core to what we do — LBI is in Ocean County, squarely inside our Ocean and Monmouth County service area. We start with an on-site assessment of your foundation, flood zone, size, and access, then lay out your options with a plan and price up front.

How do I find out my flood zone and required height?

Your flood zone and Base Flood Elevation come from FEMA's flood maps, and your township sets how far above the BFE your lowest floor must sit. We check both for your exact address at the assessment. Our guide to BFE, freeboard & flood maps walks through where those numbers come from.

Do you handle the permits with the town?

Yes. We build from sealed engineered elevation drawings and coordinate the township construction permit and the survey and elevation-certificate work the lift requires. See the rules & permits guide for the full picture.
