Experienced House Movers Serving Eunice and Surrounding Areas
House moving has been a specialized industry for generations, requiring precision at every stage of the project. From lifting the structure to transporting it and placing it on a new foundation, every step must be carefully coordinated. Our team works with homeowners, property developers, contractors, and municipalities to relocate structures safely while minimizing risk and downtime.
Reasons Homeowners Move Houses
Common reasons include:
• Relocating a home away from flood-prone areas
• Preserving a historic or family property
• Repositioning a home on a larger parcel of land
• Accommodating road expansion or development projects
• Avoiding demolition and rebuilding costs
• Creating space for additions or property improvements
In many cases, moving a structure is significantly less expensive than constructing a new building from the ground up.
Signs House Moving May Be the Right Solution
• Your home is located in a high-risk flood zone.
• The property is being redeveloped
• You need to preserve an older structure
• The existing location creates drainage or access issues
• Local development projects affect your property
• The cost of rebuilding exceeds relocation costs
Our House Moving Process
1. Initial Site Assessment
Every project begins with a detailed inspection of the structure and both locations — assessing dimensions, weight, foundation type, and transportation requirements.
2. Planning and Permitting
House moving requires permits, route planning, utility coordination, and engineering review. We manage all of these requirements throughout the project.
3. Structural Preparation
The structure is reinforced and prepared for lifting. Utilities are disconnected and all necessary access points are established.
4. Hydraulic Lifting
Using synchronized hydraulic lifting systems, we gradually raise the structure while maintaining complete stability at every stage.
5. Transportation
The structure is carefully transported to its new location using specialized equipment designed for oversized loads.
6. Foundation placement and final adjustments
The structure is set onto its new foundation, utilities are reconnected, final adjustments are made, and a full inspection is completed before project closeout.
Types of Structures We Move
We handle a wide range of structures, each requiring a customized approach.
Residential Homes – Single-family homes remain one of the most common structure relocation projects throughout Louisiana.
Historic Homes – Historic properties often require relocation to preserve architectural value and community heritage.
Commercial Buildings – Businesses sometimes relocate structures as part of redevelopment or expansion projects.
Modular Buildings – Modular and prefabricated structures can often be relocated efficiently when site needs change.
Agricultural Structures – Barns, storage buildings, and other agricultural structures may also be candidates for relocation.
Why House Moving Requires Specialized Expertise

• Structural stress during lifting
• Roadway clearances
• Utility coordination
• Soil conditions at the new site
• Foundation design requirements
Louisiana House Moving Challenges
Soft Soil Conditions – Many areas throughout South Louisiana have soil conditions that require careful planning during lifting and placement.
Flood Risks – Some structures are moved specifically to reduce future flood exposure.
Weather Considerations – Storm seasons and heavy rainfall can affect scheduling and transportation logistics.
Infrastructure Limitations – Route planning must account for bridges, utility lines, road widths, and other obstacles.

How Much Does House Moving Cost in Louisiana
The cost of moving a house depends on several key factors.
• Size and weight of the structure
• Distance of the move
• Accessibility of both locations
• Complexity of the route
• Foundation requirements at the new site
Short-distance moves on the same property may cost less, while long-distance relocations require more planning and resources.
We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific project so you have a clear understanding of costs.
