Kline Houselifting

Kline Houselifting is a family-owned house and building lifting company based in Harwich, MA, on Cape Cod. The business was started in 1966 by Ken Kline I and is now run by his son, Jamie P Kline, who has worked alongside his father since he was a teenager and holds the company's active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#163062), verified against the state registry. The company's core work is lifting and moving houses and buildings — most often to replace or repair a failing foundation, add a new basement or cellar, or level a settling floor — along with related excavation, demolition, and Title 5 septic installation. Building permit records show 37 permitted projects tied to the business, concentrated on foundation replacement and basement or cellar work in Harwich, Dennis, and West Yarmouth. The one written customer review on file, from 2017, is emphatically positive: the homeowner calls the crew miracle workers, praising their competence on a difficult house-raising job after what they describe as over 50 years of doing this work on the Cape. The Better Business Bureau lists the company at an A+ rating, though it notes the business is not BBB-accredited. Before booking, it's worth asking for references from a recent project — only one written review is on file publicly and it dates to 2017, so there is little recent customer feedback to weigh against the company's long operating history. It's also worth confirming which license number applies to your specific job, since the company's own site cites a separate Construction Supervisor license and a Hoisting Engineer license alongside its Home Improvement Contractor number. For a homeowner facing a failing or settling foundation, or needing a structure lifted or moved on Cape Cod, this is a specialist with a genuinely long track record in exactly that niche — worth weighing against the thin public review history.
