Home Remodeling in Peapack-Gladstone, NJ
Peapack-Gladstone is really two communities in one: the village centers of Peapack and Gladstone, with older homes close to the street, and the more open country properties that surround them. A remodeling project in one of those settings looks very different from one in the other, so we plan them differently.

We’re Secret Construction, a family-owned home remodeling contractor based in Manville, with more than 25 years of experience across New Jersey. Here’s how we approach home remodeling in Peapack-Gladstone, NJ, and what to expect when you work with us.
Two Kinds of Homes, Two Kinds of Planning
Village homes close to the street
Houses in and around the village centers often sit on smaller lots with neighbors nearby. That means planning for noise, dust, parking, and where materials get stored. We schedule deliveries and daily work with that in mind, and we keep the site clean and organized so the street stays easy to live on.
Country properties with more land
Larger properties come with their own questions: long driveways, drainage across the land, and sometimes private wells and septic systems. We ask about all of these up front, since they affect additions, new bathrooms, and where heavy equipment can go.

Kitchen Remodeling That Fits How You Live
The best kitchens come from asking a few plain questions first. How many people cook at once? Where do the groceries land? Do you want the room open to the rest of the house? We plan cabinets, countertops, lighting, and flooring around those answers.
In older homes, opening a wall depends on what it supports, so we check the structure before we promise a layout.
Bathroom Remodeling Done the Right Way
A bathroom remodel is mostly about what you’ll never see again once it’s done: waterproofing, ventilation, and the plumbing behind the walls. We take the time to get those right, and we use dependable fixtures from brands like Kohler and American Standard so parts are easy to find later.
Roofing and Siding for New Jersey Weather
Snow, ice, and heavy rain all take a toll on a house. When we plan a roof replacement, we check:
- Attic ventilation, to help prevent ice dams
- Flashing around chimneys and valleys
- Gutters and drainage, so water moves away from the house
- Decking, since new shingles won’t last on damaged wood
For siding, we focus on how it’s installed: clean alignment, solid fastening, and careful work around windows, doors, and corners, where most problems start.
Masonry, Patios, and Outdoor Spaces
Whether it’s a front walkway, a patio, or a set of stone steps, masonry work only lasts if the base and drainage are right. We build with that in mind, so surfaces stay level and safe through freeze-and-thaw winters. We also build porches and decks in wood or composite, depending on how much upkeep you want.

Remodeling in Peapack-Gladstone, NJ: Common Questions
How much does a remodel cost in Peapack-Gladstone?
It depends on the size of the project, the condition of the home, and the materials you choose. We give you a written estimate after seeing the space, so you know what’s included.
Do I need a permit?
Usually, for structural work, roofing, plumbing, electrical, and additions. Simple cosmetic updates often don’t. We’ll tell you what applies and handle the paperwork.
Can you work on a home close to the neighbors?
Yes. We plan for noise, dust, parking, and material storage so the project is as easy on the street as possible.
Can you work on properties with a well and septic system?
Yes. We ask about them early and plan additions and bathrooms around your existing systems.
How long will the work take?
A bathroom may take a few weeks, while a kitchen, addition, or whole-home renovation can take several months. We give you a realistic schedule from the start and update you along the way.
Can I stay in the house during the remodel?
In many cases, yes. We’ll go over the plan with you before we start.
