Remodeling in New Buffalo
New Buffalo and the surrounding Harbor Country communities are known for lake homes, cottages, and second homes that offer a retreat from city life. Many of these homes were built decades ago and benefit from thoughtful updates that improve comfort, layout, and long-term durability.
Instead of starting from scratch, many homeowners choose to remodel and expand their existing home to better support how they use the space today.
Peacock & Company works with homeowners in New Buffalo to redesign kitchens, update bathrooms, expand living areas, and complete whole-home renovations. Our design-build process brings planning, design, and construction together under one team so projects can be clearly defined before construction begins.
Whether the goal is modernizing a cottage, improving a vacation home, or transforming a full-time residence, careful planning helps ensure the finished space fits both the home and its surroundings.

A Clear REMODELING Process FOR granger HOMEOWNERS
Remodeling projects often become stressful when design and construction are handled separately. Peacock & Company simplifies the process through a design-build model that keeps everything coordinated from the beginning.
Our team spends significant time planning each project before construction begins. This allows us to define the scope clearly, coordinate design details, and prepare accurate construction plans.
Because the project is fully developed during the planning phase, homeowners receive a fixed-price proposal before construction starts, providing clarity and reducing unexpected costs later in the project.
1. Consultation & Visioning
2. Design Development
3. Selections & Sub-Visit
4. Proposal & Fixed-Price Agreement
5. Scheduling & Pre-Production Planning
6. Construction & Ongoing Communication
7. Final Walk-through & Wrap-Up

Solving Real Remodeling Concerns in NEW BUFFALO:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can you remodel older cottages near the lake?
Yes. Many homes in Harbor Country were built decades ago and require thoughtful updates to improve layout, structural integrity, and energy efficiency while maintaining their character.
Do vacation homes require different planning for remodeling?
Often they do. Scheduling, material durability, and maintenance considerations can be especially important for homes used seasonally.
Do you manage both design and construction?
Yes. Peacock & Company uses a design-build process that includes planning, design development, material selections, and construction management.
What drives cost up or down in a remodel?
Structural changes, older electrical or plumbing systems, and past DIY updates can shape the budget quickly. Material choices such as cabinetry, tile, and countertops also play a role. One advantage of our process is that we discover these factors during the design phase, not halfway through construction.
You can find more detailed information in our Greater Michiana home remodeling cost guide.
Do seasonal homes or vacation schedules change the timeline?
Sometimes. If access is limited during peak rental periods or winter conditions, we plan accordingly. Our scheduling team builds a realistic calendar, so your Greater Michiana remodel fits your life and the property’s constraints.

Construction and craftsmanship. Jonathan had excellent rapport with our family. He has creative and thoughtful planning with attention to details, like shelf height, accessibility, and really kept function in mind so our space would look great and be practical and usable for our family.
Granger, IN
I’ve had a lot of work done by various contractors over the last few years with an entire house renovation. Pea**** & Co has been by far the best to work with and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied with the job. I wish I would have found them sooner.
Niles, MI
Felt they were completely trustworthy in my home and around my kids. They were great at making novel requests work and problem solving issues or changes that came up and worked with all of my ideas. They were respectful and personable.
