AABC House Moving, LLC

Services and FAQs

     Along with moving houses, we also jack houses up, raising them for foundation repair or remodeling, such as adding a basement. In the past, we have relocated structures that have been moved off the foundation by flooding from hurricanes, and even a few that have been knocked off the foundation by motor vehicles.

     Our company has moved everything from brick houses, wood frame houses, modular homes, double-wide mobile homes (in one piece), metal buildings, portable classrooms, log homes, church buildings, a train caboose, large tanks, and barns. We pride ourselves in moving historical structures and having a part in keeping history alive.

Questions Commonly Asked About Moving Houses

How much does it cost to get a house moved?

Moves are charged by the size of the house, the distance the house is to be moved, and the degree of difficulty.

 What do I need to do to get an estimate on the cost?

First, measure the house in feet and inches- width by length. We will need to know the approximate distance the house will be moved. We will then give an estimate. If you decide to proceed with the move, we will schedule to meet with you on the site and ride the route to the new location.

...There is a $100 charge for giving an onsite estimate. However, this $100 will be taken off the total price once you actually move the house.

 What is included in the price of a move?

We will prepare the house for the move, transport it to the new site and leave it on our steel and cribbing while a new foundation is prepared. Foundations are not included; however, we can recommend several foundation contractors that do excellent work. No reconnection of utilities or repair is included.  

 What damage can be expected during the move?

Minor sheetrock or plaster cracking may occur. Moving a wide structure on narrow roads can also cause minor damage to outside of house.

 Who disconnects the utilities?

Your local provider will remove the meter and disconnect the service. We will remove only those wires and pipes that are necessary in order to place our steel beams under the house.

 Can a two-story house be moved?

The first thing to consider when moving a two-story house on the road is the utility lines. All local utility companies must be notified by the owner of the structure being moved, and if any lines must be raised, any fees incurred are the responsibility of the homeowner. In some cases, it is more feasible to have a contractor remove the top of the house and replace it once it is moved to the new location.

 How many miles can a house be moved?

This depends on the width, length and height of the house.

 What permits are required?

Every county has different requirements but most counties require a local moving permit and building permit to be obtained by the homeowner. AABC House Moving, LLC will be responsible for state permits through the SCDOT.
