About 2nd Life Home Remodeling
Your Local Family Team Giving Homes a Second Life
Hi neighbor! We’re the Marek family—proud owners and operators of 2nd Life Home Remodeling right here in New Berlin, Wisconsin. Since 2003, we’ve been helping families across Southeastern Wisconsin turn their houses into homes they truly love. What started as helping elderly neighbors with safe, accessible updates (like railings, ramps, better lighting, and easier bathrooms) has grown into our passion: truly custom interior remodeling—kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and attics—that fits your lifestyle perfectly.
As a family-owned and operated business, we bring heart to every project. We listen closely to your needs, design solutions just for you (no one-size-fits-all here), and keep communication open and friendly from day one. Quick callbacks, regular updates via phone/email/our online portal, transparent timelines—no surprises, just partnership. We treat your home like our own because that’s how neighbors should work together.
Our Story
We founded 2nd Life in 2003 when homeowners asked for help making their spaces safer and more comfortable—starting with practical updates for aging in place. Over the years, word spread through satisfied neighbors, and we expanded our expertise to full custom remodels. Today, with over 20 years of local experience, we specialize in thoughtful renovations that enhance daily life: open-concept kitchens for family gatherings, spa-like bathrooms, functional basements, and hidden-potential attics. Every project is custom-built around how you live, with premium materials and craftsmanship that lasts.
Our Mission
We partner with families to reclaim their spaces and make them exactly what they need—beautiful, functional, and comfortable. Customer comfort is our priority: clean work areas, minimal disruption, and open communication throughout. We answer questions promptly, provide honest updates, and ensure you’re always in the loop. Our goal? A remodel that’s exciting and stress-free, ending with a home you’re proud to share.
