House raising & home elevation in Seaside Heights, NJ

On the same barrier strip as Seaside Park and Ortley Beach, Seaside Heights is ocean-to-bay flood ground — and was among the hardest hit in Sandy.

Serving all of Seaside Engineered elevation plans
Why Seaside homes get raised

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

Seaside Heights is a barrier-island borough on the strip shared with Seaside Park and Ortley Beach, ocean to the east and Barnegat Bay to the west. It was among the hardest-hit places in Superstorm Sandy, and the borough sits almost entirely in FEMA AE and VE flood zones. Raising homes onto open piling foundations is the standard for rebuilding above the flood here.

We handle the whole elevation in Seaside 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 Seaside: common questions

Do you raise houses in Seaside?
Yes. House raising and home elevation in Seaside is core to what we do — Seaside 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.
