Piling Foundation & Raising a House on the Jersey Shore
BP Fam,
The property I’m dealing with has 1/4 of its foundation currently on pilings over the water and 3/4 on masonry. I’m planning on maintaining the existing setbacks & building footprint so the structure will still be partially over the water thus complicating the raise & new foundation build. The property isn’t a full gut but will require some cosmetic work and some new mechanicals. It’s a 2700sqft building and I’m planning on a renovation cost of 350k.
I'm hoping to try to find someone who has expertise in dealing with properties that need to be raised per FEMA's significant damage/improvement rule. Any Jersey Shore vacation rental owners/flippers who have ever dealt with a renovation that involved raising an existing structure would be of great help as is this would be my first renovation involving a home raise.
