1st time "raising" a house as part of the renovation process. This year we'll have 2! We are moving this house up 4 feet to get it out of the flood plain as it overlooks the Chesapeake Bay and has flooding in the past. We will be updating the crawl space, adding a new 2nd floor covered roof over the existing deck, and will upgrade all the siding and features. The rear 1 story addition was already 2 feet higher than the existing 1st floor, so we are detaching it from the main house will lower that section to be all on the same level. New stairs and an outdoor lift will allow for aging in place.
