Who We Are

So You Know Who You're Talking To

Most people never read boring "about us" pages, so we'll keep it honest while we brag a little. The Matyiko family has owned and operated companies in Virginia, Maryland, Missouri, and Texas — with over 4 generations of hands-on experience in foundation repair, house lifting, leveling, and structural moving.

The principles Expert House Movers was built on are simple: honesty, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to our customers. That reputation has earned us lasting relationships with homeowners, architects, engineers, contractors, and government officials across the East Coast, Midwest, and Texas Gulf Coast.

Why Choose EHM

What Makes Us Different

We encourage you to shop around and compare. Just ask these questions of every company you call.

🛠

We Never Subcontract

Most local companies subcontract their work. If something goes wrong, it becomes a finger-pointing game. With EHM, one company is responsible from start to finish — and that's us.

🏗

Our Own Equipment

We own and operate every piece of equipment on your job site. No rental limitations, no third-party scheduling, no delays. Your project moves on our timeline.

📄

$15 Million Insured

Your home is likely your largest investment. We carry $15 million in liability insurance so you're fully protected — not just covered on paper with a bare-minimum policy.

💰

Honest Pricing

We don't spend a fortune on advertising and pass that cost to you. Word of mouth has built this business for 70 years. You get fair pricing without the sales pressure.

✅

Warrantied Work

Is the work warrantied by the company doing it, or a third party? With EHM, we stand behind every job ourselves. If you have a problem, you call us — not a warranty company.

🏆

Award-Winning Service

Guinness World Records, the Opal Award, and multiple federal recognitions aren't handed out for average work. Our record speaks for itself across 4 generations.

Our Story

A Long History of Foundation Services

The Matyiko family didn't stumble into the foundation business — they built it, literally, across four generations and multiple states. What started as structural moving expertise on the East Coast grew into one of the most recognized foundation repair and house lifting operations on the Gulf Coast.

When Hurricane Ike and repeated Gulf Coast flooding began devastating homeowners in the Houston and Galveston area, Expert House Movers was already there — with the equipment, experience, and federal certifications to help families protect and rebuild their homes.

  • 1954 Matyiko family founds structural moving operations on the East Coast
  • 1980s Expansion into Midwest markets — Missouri and surrounding states
  • 2000s Gulf Coast operations established in Houston and Galveston, TX
  • 2008+ Post-Ike flood elevation work — helping hundreds of Gulf Coast homeowners raise above flood levels
  • Today 4th generation leading operations across Houston, Galveston, and the entire Texas Gulf Coast

Customer Reviews

What Homeowners Are Saying

★★★★★

The EHM crew was professional from the first call to the final walkthrough. They explained everything, stuck to the timeline, and the house sits perfectly level. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my foundation.

Sarah M. Pearland, TX — House Leveling
★★★★★

After Hurricane Harvey, we thought we'd have to sell. EHM elevated our home above flood level and the difference in our insurance premium alone paid for half the project. Incredible work, honest people.

David K. Galveston, TX — Home Elevation
★★★★★

Three other companies gave us wildly different quotes and none could explain why. Joe walked through everything clearly, the price was fair, and the pier and beam repair has held up perfectly for two years.
