Enter both numbers to compare with Angi's $1,000–$3,000 per pier range.
What changes the price
- Slab homes: the number of piers and their depth. Interior piers can cost more because of access.
- Pier-and-beam homes: whether a reshim will do or piers and beams need replacing. Angi notes expansive clay can mean reshimming every 2–3 years.
- The cause: if water or drainage is driving movement, fixing that is part of the job.

What does house leveling cost?
For a slab home it mostly depends on the number of piers, at about $1,000–$3,000 each (Angi, 2026). For pier and beam, Angi lists reshimming at $1,200–$4,000, new piers at $800–$4,000 each, and beam replacement at $400–$1,200 each.
How do I know if a quote is fair?
Divide the pier portion of the quote by the number of piers and compare it with published ranges. Also compare warranty terms, pier depth and whether an engineer is involved. Price alone doesn't tell you quality.
