HOUSE MOVING SERVICES
IN LOUISIANA
Safe and Professional House Moving Services You Can Trust
Moving an entire house is not just about transportation. It requires careful planning, structural expertise, and precise execution to ensure the building remains intact throughout the process.
At The Devillier Group, we specialize in professional house moving services across Louisiana, helping homeowners and property owners relocate structures safely, efficiently, and without unnecessary risk.
What Is House Moving and Why It Matters
House moving, also known as structure relocation, involves lifting a building from its current foundation and transporting it to a new location. This can be done on the same property or across a different site.
In many cases, moving a house is more practical and cost-effective than demolishing and rebuilding. It allows you to preserve the structure, maintain its character, and avoid the time and expense of new construction.
Why House Moving Is Important
• Preserves existing structures, including historic homes
• Reduces demolition and reconstruction costs
• Allows relocation due to land use or zoning changes
• Saves time compared to rebuilding from scratch
• Maintains property value and architectural integrity
For many homeowners, house moving is the most efficient way to protect both their investment and the structure itself.
Signs You May Need House Moving Services
• Your home sits in a flood-prone area and needs repositioning
• Land development or road expansion requires relocation
• The structure is historically valuable and cannot be demolished
• You want to reposition the house on your property for better use of space
• The cost of rebuilding is higher than moving the structure
Our House Moving Process
1. Site and Structure Evaluation
We begin by assessing the building’s structure, weight, and condition. We also evaluate the starting location and destination site to identify potential challenges.
2. Route and Logistics Planning
For off-site moves, we carefully plan the transportation route. This includes checking road conditions, clearances, and any obstacles that may affect the move.
3. Structural Preparation
The structure is reinforced to maintain stability during lifting and transport. Utilities are disconnected, and the building is prepared for movement.
4. Hydraulic Lifting
Using specialized hydraulic systems, the structure is lifted evenly to prevent stress or damage. This step requires precision and coordination.
5. Transportation
The building is moved using heavy-duty transport equipment. The process is controlled and monitored to ensure stability throughout the journey.
6. Placement and Reinstallation
Once at the new location, the structure is placed onto its new foundation. Utilities are reconnected, and final adjustments are made.

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.
