Structure Moving
Wolfe specializes in relocating entire structures using proprietary Buckingham Power Dolly systems. Our technology minimizes stress on buildings during transport, ensuring safe and precise moves for residential and commercial properties. Clients benefit from nationwide service and decades of experience handling complex projects.
House Lifting
We lift homes to address foundation issues, flood protection, or basement expansion. Using hydraulic jacking systems, we elevate buildings evenly to prevent damage. Services include supporting structures during excavation and new foundation construction across the continental United States.
Roof Lifting
Our roof lifting solutions expand warehouse and industrial space by raising existing roofs. The Buckingham Unified Hydraulic Jacking System ensures even elevation, reducing downtime and waste. Ideal for increasing clearance or modernizing facilities without demolition.
Supporting & Shoring
We provide temporary shoring for foundation repairs, column replacement, or underpinning projects. Services include cribbing, steel beams, and hydraulic jacks to stabilize buildings during renovations, ensuring safety and structural integrity.
Under-Excavation
Under-excavation prepares sites for house lifting or foundation replacement. Our team excavates beneath structures to enable new foundation construction, working in tandem with masonry contractors to complete projects efficiently and safely.
