Why rebuild when you can lift and renovate for less? In our area, demolishing and rebuilding a 2,500 SF home can cost over $1.1 million, while our Lift & Renovate solution averages just $450,000—a smarter, more efficient investment. Our base house lifting price is $110/SF, and we handle everything: permitting, site prep, structural lifting, foundation work, and mechanical reconnections. From raising your home to full interior and exterior renovations, RNW Contractors delivers a seamless, cost-effective alternative to starting over. Let us elevate your home—and your future.
