We take care to provide our customers high quality service. We do structure relocation, elevation and leveling. Established in 1949 by Robert E. R. E. Johnson, Jr.
Our motto is "We Move Anything" - from frame and concrete block structures, to boats, train cars, heavy equipment and machinery. Johnson Sr., we are now a fourth generation family of housemovers. Johnson & Son, Inc. was incorporated in 1959 when Robert E. joined his father in the family business. They focused mainly on frame homes and moved a lot of beach cottages off the islands in Manatee and
Sarasota County as they were being developed. In 1978, Brett C. Johnson, son of Robert Jr., took the helm when his father retired. He grew up around housemoving and expanded the business to include concrete block structures. This meant bigger trucks and heavier equipment. Today, Brett's sons, Beau and Kyle, work right beside him and they have four sons between them
to keep the business going for more generations. Johnson Housemoving is family-owned and operated right here in Parrish, Florida. Other companies may offer similar services, but our services are the best! At Johnson Housemoving, we take care to provide our customers high quality service. Our motto is "We Move Anything" - from frame and concrete block structures to boats, train cars, heavy equipment and machinery. We relocate historical buildings for the Historical Society. For years, we have moved all of Manatee and Sarasota County's portable school classrooms. We move storage sheds, large or small and agricultural buildings. We even move pizza ovens! Structure Relocation-
Frame or block, single story or more, we can relocate structures on the same site, or to another site. We can move over the road or by water. If you need something moved, we can do it! Foundations for frame buildings may consist of concrete block around the perimeter, concrete pilings, wooden pilings etc. Whatever you and your engineer come up with, we can build it for an additional cost. Foundations for block structures are included in the moving price. Since all housemoves are different, please call for an on site appointment with us for a free estimate. Elevation-
Would you like your home or business elevated? Some people want to build more living area underneath, while some just like the extra space; some want a break on their flood insurance. Often you can get financial help from FEMA if you meet their requirements. Leveling your structure-
Is your home or building out of level? Do you have cracks due to settling, tree roots or sinkholes? We can help! We will level your building, replace existing rotten wood, add piers where needed, and do everything we can to ensure your satisfaction. We have engineered and permitted many concrete block structures that have settled and permanently stopped the settling and closed up the cracks.
When your son says he wants to go as a “Johnson Housemover” for career day at school. I think he nailed it! 💪💪

This is some information I found in a book called images of America -Bradenton. Its a pretty cool read if you want to learn about the Manatee River area. I thought it would give a bit more content to this project especially after so many people have responded and are intrigued by the history of the area. I will try to update as I find more info .

This is the Fogarty House. Its on Riverview Drive at 30th street. Its one of the older houses in Bradenton being 150 years old .The Fogarty's were boat builders in the mid to late 1800s. We have lifted the old beauty and removed the old brick foundation that was failing to make way for a new solid foundation. The wood under the structure was mostly hand hewn with some beams being 36 ft long and connected with wooden dowels. It was all in good shape due to it being hard heart pine . Once we lower it onto the new foundation David Windham Construction will have the task of bringing this jewel back to life so more generations can take a look back into the history of the Manatee River and Fogartyville.
