From the narrow Sea Bright barrier strip and the Shark River beaches to Manasquan and Sea Girt at the inlet, the Monmouth County shore is pinned between the Atlantic and its rivers — classic ground for raising a home above the flood line.
The Monmouth County shore runs from the Sandy Hook bayshore down a thin line of oceanfront boroughs to the Manasquan Inlet. Much of it is squeezed between open ocean and back water: Sea Bright sits on a narrow barrier strip with the Atlantic on one side and the Shrewsbury River on the other, Belmar and Avon straddle the Shark River, and Manasquan and Sea Girt front the ocean near the Manasquan River and Wreck Pond. Large parts of these towns fall in FEMA AE and VE flood zones, and many older homes still sit below today's required heights.
Raising the house is the permanent way to get a lower floor up out of that reach. The contractors we connect you with handle the whole elevation 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.
