Since 1947, Jack Boiman served Greater Cincinnati's residential and business owners. With his foundation repair knowledge, Jack's experience in building homes and home repair were instrumental in building his company. Since his retirement in 1990, Jack Boiman Sons & Daughters, Inc., has continued on with Jack's vision. Our company's current staff specializes in correcting existing foundation problems, including interior and exterior waterproofing, stabilizing walls, and steel piering processes. In addition, we also install window well drains, downspout runoffs and surface drainage. “Our motto is "‘Everyone is FAMILY" and we operate that way. We treat our customers the way we would like to be treated. When Dad established the business, he worked with a handshake instead of a legal contract, all based on honesty. We provide our clientele with reliable and efficient service, at an affordable (honest) price, said Jack’s son and company President, John Boiman.
"we did have to wait quite a bit for the repair and luckily was have to have a temporary fix in place but even though had to wait through the winter, their professionalism, fast export work, as well as the additional above and beyond customer service supplied by the foreman in dealing with a difficult neighbor makes this a total five star review."

On average, it takes two to seven days to physically raise your house. However, this does not include the preparation work, which is often the most lengthy process. The entire project, including preparation, obtaining permits, disconnecting utilities, and any subsequent landscaping, can take four to eight weeks. This timeline ensures everything is done safely and that your home remains structurally sound.
If proper safety protocols are not followed, raising a house can cause severe damage, as the process involves applying controlled force to the home's structure. The risks involved make it crucial to hire a skilled contractor who uses engineered methods to secure your home and prevent any harm to your household.
If your foundation shows signs of instability after raising your home, you might need to add structural support. A structural engineer can assess your foundation and recommend reinforcements to ensure your house stays stable and safe for the long term. Available support options include installing additional piers or pilings, reinforcing existing footings, or using steel beams to distribute the load more evenly.
You will need a structural engineer to assess your home before you begin. These professionals determine whether your house is suitable for lifting and identify any issues that could compromise its stability. Their expertise ensures that the project is designed correctly and all risks are managed to achieve a successful lift.
