 o
costs of raising a house up? (long island, ny)

Posted by mobgirl86 (My Page) on

Hi. I'm interested in purchasing a house that has no crawl space, no basement. I was told by the realtor that the house at one point flooded with 4 feet of water. The house is in a bay area in Island Park, NY. The price is reasonable but I have no idea the costs associated with adding a foundation or raising a house up. Does anyone have any advice or ideas of the costs? It's a small house, the lot is only 40x50, a very small 3bdrm "cottage". Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I think you have to canvass on the price of the materials needed in the raising up of your house. You can ask them the estimated cost of materials and labor. At least ask 3 to 5 person so that you can compare how much will it really cost you.
