— Our Top Services
Short Hills is one of the most sought-after places to live in New Jersey for a reason. The homes here are beautiful, the lots are valuable, and homeowners expect quality that lasts. We know that because we’ve spent years building and renovating homes in this area. At Geiss Custom Builders, we are well known in Short Hills for high-end custom homes, major renovations, and a hands-on process that gives homeowners real confidence from start to finish.
Our office is right nearby at 327 Millburn Ave in Millburn, and we work closely with homeowners throughout Short Hills who want more than a basic remodel. They want smart planning, fine craftsmanship, clear communication, and a builder who is present on the job. That is exactly how we work.
Homes in Short Hills often need a thoughtful approach. Some families want a full home renovation that updates an older layout while keeping the character of the property. Others are ready for a custom home build designed around how they live today. We help with both.
Because this is a luxury residential market, details matter. Site planning, flow, finish quality, and long-term value all need to be handled the right way. With 40 years of combined experience, our family-owned team knows how to manage complex projects with care.
We focus on large-scale residential projects for homeowners who want lasting quality and strong project management. Our services include:
Whether you are replacing an outdated home with a brand-new custom build or transforming your current house with a full renovation, we guide the process carefully.
Our process starts with a phone call. From there, we meet with you in person, review architect plans, define the full scope of work, and prepare a detailed estimate. If the project is a knockdown and rebuild, we help evaluate the property and building plan. If it is a renovation, we look at how to improve the home in a way that makes sense for your goals, budget, and timeline.
We believe good projects start with real conversations and clear expectations. We use structured contracts, organized project documentation, and a proven building process so our clients know what to expect. We are also known for being very hands-on at meetings and on the jobsite, which makes a real difference on custom work.
When you are making a major investment in your home, you need a builder you can trust to protect it. We take that seriously. Our clients choose us because we bring experience, organization, and personal attention to every project.
We proudly work with homeowners across Short Hills and the surrounding Millburn area. No matter where your property is located, we can meet with you, review your plans, and help you decide whether a full renovation or custom home build is the right move.
If you are planning a custom home or full home renovation in Short Hills, NJ, call Geiss Custom Builders at (908) 377-1758. We would be glad to talk through your ideas, review your plans, and help you take the next step with confidence.

“We recently bought a home that needed interior updates and Cliff and his crew not only put in gorgeous custom built-ins, but was such an absolute pleasure to work with! We will be using them for all renovations.”
“I’m a general contractor and was looking to build a new single family home but did not have a builders license and was trying to find a good and reputable builder to handle the project . I reached out to a few builders including Geiss custom home builders and within a short period of time cliff Geiss returned my call he was professional as we discussed the project. We met a few days later at the site cliff was warm , friendly and very generous with his time . He asked questions and provided valuable information that I was not aware of , he had his representative from 84 lumber provide a full materials list of windows and building materials with pricing . Cliff is the salt of the earth a first rate human being and I will be forever grateful for having the pleasure of meeting him.”
“I had heard great things about Cliff and his company in the past but I had never met him in person. Just recently, my clients and I met with him to evaluate some potential homes for purchase that were in need of work. His construction expertise and attention to detail clearly stood out in our conversations. He provided very insightful comments and a clear perspective that helped my clients make the right decision. Plus, as a local builder, he’s got the right connections to make it all happen!”
