We Have a History of Protecting Families From Future Flooding

Prior to forming P3, founders Chad Jonassen, Joe Fairley, Wayne Fairley, and the P3 Team led a variety of home elevation projects and enabled other companies to enter the elevation business. 

Chad is a pioneer of slab home elevation and was instrumental in its inception. Jonassen Structural Movers was the elevation contractor for the slab-home proof-of-concept project sponsored by FEMA and LSU in 1994. Since successfully lifting 5 homes in that very first program, Chad has lifted over 1,000 homes

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina, Ike, and Harvey Chad and Joe led elevation operations where thousands of houses were lifted for the affected homeowners.

Joe Fairley

Elevation
Design Expert/Founder

Joe Fairley served 15 years in the USAF and Reserves before working in the construction and elevation industries.

He is now a home construction and home elevation professional with expertise in the FEMA elevation grant process.

Joe assesses homes and slabs and designs specific home elevation plans for each homeowner so they can visualize their elevated home with all structural, functional, and aesthetic considerations. 

Chad Jonassen

Elevation
Construction Expert/Founder

Chad is known throughout the moving and elevating industries as among the best in the nation. He has an unrivaled track-record with thousands of challenging structures during his twenty-plus years of experience  

Elevating slab buildings was leading-edge in the industry in the 1990’s, when Chad and his father developed much of the elevation methodology and technology used today.

Chad has been involved with large difficult projects such as the 3,000-ton Schubert Theater, Cape Hattaras Lighthouse move, 1,500-ton McDonogh #11 School in New Orleans, and many more. 

Chad and his father accomplished the very first FEMA contracts ever awarded in the “elevate homes above the floodplain” Program by elevating five large slab buildings in Denham Springs, LA in 1995. He also assisted southern Louisiana communities after Hurricane Katrina by training lifters and elevating a structure per day for about 5 years. His work can be seen often in Structural Mover and House and Building Mover.
