House on piers

winterh · 07-30-2020, 09:14 AM

Friends of mine have been looking for a while to get themselves a place on the water. At the lower price points every house has some issues. They have found a place they like but it is on concrete piers and is considered seasonal. The piers do look solid. What can be done to make it a comfortable year round home short of lifting the house and putting in even a slab foundation? I would imagine that even for a 1000 sq ft rectangular ranch lifting it would cost 50k easy. (just a guess)
Anyone have a similar situation and were you able to use year round?
