Since 1926, We have been able to prove our dedication to structural moving success time and time again. From being the first company on Long Island to utilize hydraulics, the first and only to move concrete building's and still today the company that the United States Army Corps of Engineers turns to when they need house moving services.
Throughout the past 83 years, we have had the privilege to be involved in most of the more unique or challenging moves that happen on Long Island. Some of these projects include moving a Bridgehampton windmill, relocating four 90,000 pound propane tanks, elevating 30 log cabins for a development project, moving 14 homes off and away from the encroaching ocean in Westhampton Beach for the Army Corps of Engineers and the relocation of a 16,000 square foot warehouse through a sandpit in Medford N.Y.
From lifting massive beach clubs to relocating church's through the streets, from pulling beachfront homes away from the ocean to hauling garages across farms, Dawn House Movers can help you with your project regardless to the size, weight or complexity of the project.
Below is a small selection of photos taken from several projects.
Long Islands foremost Building Movers since 1926!
"The historic move of this 700,000 pound, Southampton mansion was something of an amazing feat" - According to the Southampton Press.
This house with 12 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, was picked up and moved nearly 300 feet, all four fireplaces kept intact.
This historic home built during the turn of the century, was designed for the large wall of windows to face North, to capture the perfect light for the home owner who made his living as a painter. To the West, was a beautiful view of Georgica Pond.
When the new owners of the house relized that the house was poorly situated on the property for someone who was not interested in painting, they had the house picked up and rotated so that the wall of windows faced the pond.
When the homeowners of this Bridgehampton mansion no longer wanted such a large home, they looked to demolish the building and start from scratch. After talking to their nieghbors about their plans, the nieghbors offered to pay to have the house picked up and delivered to their adjoining property across the street.
"Stan Kazel of Dawn House & Building Movers, who came highly recommended, was chosen to take on the challenge of moving this 300 ton mansion will both fireplaces attached" - Newsday.
This 600,000 pound Victorian styled mansion in Southampton New York, was elevated and a 13 foot basement was excavated underneath.
The story behind this job began when the homeowners discovered the 200+ locust posts holding up their dream home were deteriorating. After planning the job, they hired Dawn by lowest bid. We then elevate the structure off of the rotten locust posts, remove all locust posts, and excavate a 13 foot basement.
"Dawn Moves The Island"
During 2008, We received many E-mails from local residents phrasing us for our hard work and integrity, many stating that "Dawn Moves The Island", referring to the massive several hundred thousand pound mansions (Shown above) we were lifting on the Shores of Shelter Island, New York during that time.
