Building Homes, Remodels, and Trust Across Central New Jersey
For generations, our family has built and remodeled homes for families across Mercer and Bucks County. We do it as a design-build team, which means one group of people handles your project from the first sketch to the last coat of paint, so nothing gets lost between a designer and a builder.
Our clients tend to be people who see their home as an investment worth doing right, and who want a builder who guides them instead of leaving them guessing.
That's exactly how we work: honestly, carefully, and with the kind of communication that turns a big project into a genuinely great experience.

Services
Kitchen Remodeling
The kitchen is where your people gather, so it should feel as good as the memories you make in it. You deserve one designed around the way your family really lives.
Services
Custom Homes
There's nothing quite like a home built just for you, right down to the morning light in the kitchen. Together, we'll shape every last detail from the ground up.
Services
Whole Home Remodeling
You love your street and your neighbors, so let's make the house feel just as right. Let's reimagine the whole home until it fits the life you're living in it.
Services
Additions
Sometimes the home you love just needs a little more room to grow into. The new space will feel like it was always meant to be there.
Services
Bathroom Remodeling
Everyone deserves a place to slow down at the start and end of the day. Your new bathroom will feel like a deep breath, morning and night.
Our Process
It starts with a real conversation about your home, your goals, and your budget. We'll tell you honestly what's possible and what it takes to get there. No pressure and no pitch, just a clear sense of whether we're the right team for you.
Next, we turn your ideas into a detailed, buildable plan. You'll make your design and finish decisions on paper, where changes are easy and free. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm scope, timeline, and price with no guesswork.
Then we build, with one point of contact and a job site we keep clean and on schedule. You'll get regular updates, so you always know what's happening in your home. And when it's finished, our three-year labor warranty means we're still here if you ever need us.

Where We Work
We build for homeowners across Mercer County, New Jersey, and Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Two generations and more than 20 years in these towns mean we know the homes here, the way they're built, and what it takes to make them better, so you get a design-build partner who's genuinely local, not a crew passing through.

Words From Our Clients
"Gary redid two rooms for us. Replaced the Sheetrock, leveled the floors, and installed laminate. The worker he used put in long days and was very professional. They did a great job, and I highly recommend them."
Patrick W.
"Gary has just finished a renovation of our first floor. His crew worked hard every day and gave us amazing results. He arrived when he said he would and completed what he promised. In a world where contractors don’t show up or don’t deliver, I can highly recommend Houghton Contracting for a successful project."
Bryan A.
"Gary just finished a job at our house and we could not be happier! They arrived on time each morning, cleaned up before leaving and were more professional than any contractor we’ve ever used. Quote was impressive as we had two others along Houghton Contracting. Materials used were better quality than what other two were going to use and for less money. They didn’t even charge for travel time! Would highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work. No doubt in my mind!!"
Michele M.
"Gary and his team has taken on a huge renovation job that included gutting most of my house, replacing electrical, insulation, drywall, painting, finishing floors, kitchen renovations and building me a laundry room…you name it Houghton Contracting has done it! Every step of this project has been done so well and I couldn’t be more pleased. I would recommend Houghton Contracting to anyone who is looking to beautify their home!"
Maggie M.
Great experience. Needed a small job done and within a week of talking with Gary, the job was scheduled and completed. Could not ask for a better experience.
Ian L.
"I called Gary for an estimate to fix out deteriorating detached garage. He came the same day to provide an estimate and within a week our garage was fixed. Although the project took a half-day longer than expected, Gary honored his original estimate. I am very happy with the quality of work and would recommend Houghton Contracting."
