Short Hills Major Remodel: A Complete Home Transformation
Some homes don't need an addition. They need a second chance.
That was the story behind this Short Hills remodel. The home had good bones, a great lot, and a floor plan that had stopped matching how the family actually lived. WA Construct was brought in to rethink it from the inside out.
A Home That Had Outgrown Its Story
Short Hills is known for tree-lined streets and a housing stock that blends stately older Colonials with newly built estates. This home fell into the first category.
Closed-off rooms cut the layout into disconnected pockets. The kitchen faced away from where the family actually gathered. The finishes felt dated next to the elevated expectations of the surrounding block.
This is a common tension for Short Hills homeowners. The lot, the schools, and the neighborhood are exactly right; the house just hasn't kept up. A full remodel is often the smarter move, without the cost or disruption of a teardown.
Reimagining the Vision
Every WA Construct remodel starts with a conversation, not a contract. We walked the property with the homeowners to understand how they actually wanted to move through their day.
From there, our design team reshaped the floor plan. Walls came down to open sightlines between the kitchen, dining, and living areas.
Every material and finish decision was mapped into a detailed proposal before any work began. In a remodel this size, clarity upfront protects both the budget and the timeline.
Why Short Hills Homeowners Choose WA Construct
Short Hills sits inside Millburn Township, known for its top-ranked schools and a market where craftsmanship is scrutinized as closely as square footage. Homeowners here want it done right the first time.
Our design-build model means the same team that designs your home also builds it. No gaps between architect and contractor; one accountable team, one transparent proposal, one point of contact.

We need to do the gut remodel and additon to our home and had very limited time as the kids have to go to the new school. WA has completed the job well in time even having delays in some of the supplies. Also helped us in the interior designing for our home. The details to the finishes was really high and all our family is very happy for that.
