Building Raising and House Lifting in Boise, Idaho
Associated Pacific Movers, Inc. has worked with residential and commercial property owners since 1973 to provide building raising and house lifting in Boise services. Our team uses controlled lifting methods and proven safety procedures to raise structures with care, then place them back on improved foundations or supports as needed.
We lift homes and raise buildings of many shapes, sizes, weights, and materials. From small cabins to large commercial facilities, we use professional equipment and experienced crews to raise structures without unnecessary risk or damage.
If your project involves compliance and site planning, Idaho publishes transportation and permitting resources through the Idaho Transportation Department, which can be relevant for route planning and coordination when projects involve moving equipment or staged transport.
House Lifting Services in Boise
Most homeowners do not think about lifting a house until they have to. If your home needs to be raised due to foundation problems, structural concerns, settling, or planned improvements, rely on experienced professionals to handle the lift safely.
Lifting a structure creates access and clearance for important work such as replacing a deteriorated foundation, repairing supports, leveling, or creating space for a crawlspace or basement project. These updates can be necessary to protect the value of the home and make the structure safer and more functional.
Common Reasons to Lift a House
- Foundation replacement or major repairs
- Floor leveling and correcting settling issues
- Adding or improving crawlspace access
- Structural reinforcement and support upgrades
- Preparing for remodeling that requires clearance

Building Raising Services for Commercial Properties
As your business grows, you may need to expand or improve the facilities you already own. During a renovation project, raising a building can be a practical way to add vertical space, improve the foundation, or create access for structural upgrades without starting from scratch.
Commercial property owners often focus on expanding outward, but raising a building can make it easier to add usable space, improve drainage and access, and support major foundation work while maintaining the structure.
What We Evaluate Before a Lift
- Structure type, materials, and load distribution
- Access points and workspace limitations
- Foundation condition and support requirements
- Lift height goals and placement plan
- Site conditions including grade and surface stability
How House Lifting and Building Raising Works
A successful lift starts with planning and controlled execution. We assess the structure, identify lift points, and build a support plan so the lift is stable and predictable throughout the process.
Our Typical Lifting Process
- Review the structure and determine lift points and support needs
- Prepare the work area and install beams and supports as required
- Lift gradually using controlled methods and monitoring for stability
- Maintain and adjust support systems throughout the lift
- Lower the structure onto the new foundation, supports, or improved placement
House Lifting vs Building Moving
| Service | Best For | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| House Lifting and Building Raising | Foundation work, leveling, access improvements, vertical clearance | Structure remains on site and is lowered onto improved supports |
| Home and Building Moving | Relocating a structure to another property or site | Structure is transported and placed at the destination location |
If your project also requires transporting machinery or jobsite equipment, we can support moves through equipment transport and heavy equipment hauling.
