Founded in 2025 by Randy Olsen and Jay Burnside to fill a critical gap in Florida’s flood-mitigation market — helping homeowners below the Base Flood Elevation lift, protect, and preserve their homes.
A practical answer to the flood-mitigation challenges facing too many Florida homeowners
If your home is below the Base Flood Elevation, every storm brings uncertainty. Rising insurance premiums, repeated flooding, and mortgage restrictions on resale have made home elevation a necessity, not a luxury. Too many Florida homeowners are stuck in a repair-and-claim cycle with no clear way out.
Florida House Lifting was created to give Florida homeowners a clear path out of the flood-risk cycle. Our mission is simple: deliver durable, engineered, and affordable elevation solutions that protect Florida homes for generations — engineered to Florida Building Code and flood-zone standards.
