Need a contractor for jacking up a deck
I have a two story deck that is sinking and pulling away from the house. Might be original with the house from 1908. Has a roof, is made of stucco. Has no footings.
I'd like to have the deck jacked up, and put diamond piers, helical piers, screw piles, or whatever under there to keep it from sinking further, and so I can make minor repairs to the deck.
Anyone have a contractor to recommend? I've talked to probably 8, and all have been either unwilling or unable to do the project, or straight up don't respond after a while. Haven't even been able to get a single bid.

Ok, maybe porch is more accurate, but it is open - no windows. It is two stories, with a roof. Main level is about 4 steps off the ground, then a second floor for egress from the upper units. Exterior is stucco, beams are wood.
I'll see if I can find a foundation company. I talked to one, but they wanted someone with an engineering degree to figure out how to lift it up.
