Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How long does house leveling take?

A. Most projects complete in one to three days depending on access, materials, and the number of supports needed. Larger or engineered jobs may take longer. We provide a clear schedule up front.

Q. Will leveling fix all my wall cracks and sticky doors?

A. Leveling resolves the cause of movement. Many gaps and door issues improve immediately. Cosmetic repairs like drywall or trim touch‑ups are typically completed after the structure is stabilized.

Q. Do you work with raised homes and slab foundations?

A. Yes. We regularly service raised pier‑and‑beam homes and slab‑on‑grade structures. The repair plan is tailored to your home’s design and soil conditions.

Is a permit required?

It depends on scope and local rules. When a permit is required, we obtain it and schedule inspections as part of the project.

How much does house leveling cost?

Pricing depends on materials, access, and how much support is required. After inspection you receive a written cost with photos and elevation data so you can decide confidently.
