When unexpected issues arise, cliff is quick to handle the issues effortlessly and relieve any stress revolving around a project. Cliff is very personable and 100% dedicated to his projects. He has been doing this for many years but he treats each project as though it’s his first with his enthusiasm and presence on the job daily. The Geiss team warranties all their work, although I have never had an issue. I would recommend Cliff over and over again! You are in phenomenal hands when you hire Geiss Custom builders!

Geiss Custom Builders, and Cliff has been just fantastic, not only as a builder, who built our beautiful home, but perhaps most importantly as an advisor who always helped us maintain the home over the past ten years. We sincerely very much appreciate Cliff's help and support with various maintenance need over the years. Above all it's a pleasure to know Cliff, whom we can completely trust and depend on anything related to home development matters. THANK YOU CLIFF!

Cliff knows his trade. He managed and built my building from start to finish. He got it done in record time. All his sub contractors were amazing. You can trust him to get it done correctly without compromising.

Cliff at Geiss Customer Builders is a skillful, honest builder in an otherwise opaque industry. We interviewed multiple general contractors, most came in the same ballpark for price. Cliff has an impeccable reputation in the area and we really wanted to go with Geiss Homes. Cliff could have easily taken the job, a nice profit, and been on his way in a few months. My mother has an architectural background and was involved in the plans of the construction. Knowing this, and the fact we were on a tight budget, Cliff recommended we manage the project ourselves using his vendors.
Cliff visited every week, acting as a consultant and making sure we weren’t missing anything. He checked in on the vendors to make sure we were getting fair prices, he reviewed changes to the job, helped us brainstorm solutions to overcome unexpected hurdles, and was available every day by phone. As a young couple with a baby, every penny counts. Cliff did right by us, he saved us a boatload of money and still got us into a beautiful home. We are forever thankful.

If you are looking for a contractor - we highly recommend Geiss Custom Builders. We engaged Cliff for a significant addition to our house. He and his team delivered the project on time and budget, with minimal disruption to our day-to-day living. The team kept the access to our house quiet and maintained cleanliness. Cliff has great problem solving skills and he guided us very well throughout the process. He helped us augment original design which worked out very well for us.

His team is very good and works very hard. Since we were living in the house during the construction process - they ensured we had appropriate notice for various inspections and maintained a scheduled that was convenient for us. We would highly recommend Cliff for your new construction or extension to existing home.

I've had the pleasure of seeing the homes that Cliff Geiss has built. He is an outstanding builder, a man with great moral qualities, very loyal and honest. Cliff loves what he does and truly cares about his clients and their homes. I admire his very rich taste in materials and quality workmanship. I've seen the work of other contractors in the area and the quality of Cliff's work is far superior. In speaking with the owners of the homes Cliff's built, they've said things like" he built my dream home", they're "extremely satisfied" .If you're looking for a someone to build your "exclusive home", you need to speak with Cliff.

I've lived in Short Hills for over 20 years and have watched Cliff build beautiful, well-constructed houses. When we started hunting for a new home, my hope was to purchase one of Cliff's houses or to have him build one for us. Unfortunately, the market was too strong and Cliff's houses sold too quickly and we were outbid for all the land sales. We ended up buying a spec house from a more unknown builder. Five years after our home purchase, our basement flooded. Even though Cliff wasn't our builder, he immediately came to detect the cause of the problem. Cliff's years of experience working in Millburn/Short Hills area has made him an expert not only in the local building requirements but also in the geology of the area. Cliff was able to find a quick solution that prevented additional flooding when we had inches of rain several weeks later. When rebuilding my basement, Cliff's workers were efficient, professional, and showed great pride in doing the job correctly. Cliff also has helped me resolve water coming in through the roof, and he has been a great overall resource for all things house-related. I highly recommend Cliff, and would not hesitate to use him to build a home or addition.

I have worked with Cliff since 2003, when I sold his first house on Hilltop for $2.3m! Since then, we've worked together on many occasions, including selling homes like 15 Slope for $4,150,000, 293 Hartshorn for $4,790,000, which then traded again at $5,200,000.

Cliff's reputation is impeccable. He lives in Short Hills with his family and is extremely responsive to all of his clients, and everyone loves working with him. Our most recent deal was 104 Farley Road, which sold for $2,878,000 and is just gorgeous. Cliff keeps up with the new trends in the market and does everything very tastefully. It was a beautiful home, and the buyers were thrilled with it. I can recommend Cliff with great confidence that he'll do a fantastic job.
