Does anyone have experience in raising and moving a house from one lot to another? What is the typical cost? Where do I start?
Thanks!

@Herndon Davis I think you need to contact a company in your area that does this. There are so many variables for a project like this that I don’t know if there are numbers that can be easily used to estimate costs.
For example, will trees need to be cut back or utility lines moved out of the way for the house? If so, what are the costs involved in doing so, and can you even cut back branches on someone else’s or city property? I have no idea but it would be worth talking to someone who does this in your area so that he or she can answer these questions
