FAQ
Can historic buildings be moved safely?
Yes!  If an older building has any structural issues, the building mover will take appropriate measures to secure the building before moving.
How much does it cost to move a house in Wisconsin or northern Illinois?
Prices can range from $18,000 for a simple ranch home to over $100,000 for a larger, irregular shaped home with fireplaces and stone veneer. There are many variables to consider when moving a house, such as the dimensions, weight, route, height, overhead obstructions, and timeframe to move.  A mover will consider all of these variables when giving you a price to move.  To learn more about factors involved in costs to move a building, visit our page: How much does it cost to move a building?  Are you looking for a better idea of how much it costs to move your building?  
What types of buildings can be moved?
Our company has never come across a building or structure that cannot be moved.  Generally, if something cannot be moved it is due to the timeframe to have the structure moved or the route cannot accomodate the size of the structure. 
Can replacing my foundation help with basement water and flooding problems?
Yes! That is a great way to help with water or flooding issues in your basement.  The house is raised above the water table level and a new foundation is constructed.  Not only are you eliminating the flooding issues, you are adding new, usable living space to your home.
