The Benefits of Our Solutions

When you turn to Westward Builders for structural shoring and house lifting in San Rafael, you can rely on us to address all kinds of structural challenges and maximize your property’s potential. 

Here’s how:

• Increasing square footage – Property values in our part of Northern California are driven by space. By lifting a home and building out a lower level, owners can add significant value. Many of our clients now rent out newly finished lower units that were once damp crawlspaces.
• Overcoming property limitations – For homes restricted by setbacks or lot size, lifting can provide the space needed for additions without violating zoning or property line rules.
• Flood protection – In flood-prone areas, lifting a home protects against water damage and can secure eligibility for FEMA grants to offset project costs. With rising sea levels already affecting the North Bay Area, this option offers peace of mind for the future.
• Improving functionality – Many older homes in our community were built with street parking only. We’ve lifted homes to add garages, giving owners the convenience of private parking and boosting property value.
