Need my 1787 house lifted for a new foundation. Spoke once and they never got back to me. Since then I've called a dozen times and they never pick up. Mailbox is now full.
Just WOW.....to see our barn lifted, footings and frost wall poured then be lowered onto the foundation, was a major project for me. Geddes Building Movers made it look routine...almost easy!!! Thank you all for giving new life to our barn.
Rick Geddes was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge and expertise in the shoring industry far superseded my expectations. Profesional on time and on budget.
