Moving an entire home from one location to another may sound like something out of a movie, but it happens more frequently than you might realize. Home relocation, often known as home moving, involves physically lifting and relocating a house to its new location. Our team at Hayes House Moving and Leveling has been in the house moving business since 1943, giving you peace of mind that your home is in the best hands.
Here are a few of the most common reasons why our house moving services are needed:
- Land Redevelopment or Urban Expansion: In areas undergoing urban renewal or infrastructure projects, you might think the only option is to demolish any existing homes. Our team can move the home instead, protecting its worth and architectural legacy.
- Historic Preservation: Older homes with high architectural or cultural significance are frequently relocated to prevent demolition. To protect their long-term viability, preservation associations or individual owners may relocate these residences to safer sites, museums, or historic districts.
- Flood Zones and Environmental Risks: Homes constructed in flood-prone or environmentally unstable areas are occasionally relocated to higher ground or safer sites. With growing concerns about climate change and natural calamities, this is becoming an increasingly common rationale for house moving, especially in our area.
- Personal or Family Land Use: Homeowners may relocate a house to family-owned land to be closer to loved ones or combine properties. This is usually less expensive than building a new home from scratch.
- Cost-Efficient and Sustainable: Some people find that buying a used home and relocating it is less expensive than building a new one. This is especially true when preserving well-built residences that might otherwise be demolished. Moving your home also lowers construction waste, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.
