Our Design-Build Home Remodeling & Custom Home Services 

By Houghton Contracting

All Guided by One Local Team, From Start to Finish

We build kitchens people actually want to hang out in, bathrooms that feel like a getaway, and additions that give a growing family room to breathe. We take on whole-home remodels that bring an older house fully into the present, and we build custom homes from the ground up for families ready to start fresh.

Some projects are a single room, others are the whole house, and a few start with an empty lot. No matter the size, it gets the same care and craftsmanship that's earned us two generations of repeat clients across Mercer and Bucks County.

If you're not sure which route works best for your situation, our team at Houghton Contracting can help you work through your options.

Additions

Sometimes the home you love just needs more of it, whether that's a bigger kitchen, a primary suite, or a second story. It may be a standalone project or part of a larger remodel. We add space that looks like it was always meant to be there, inside and out.

Whole Home Remodeling

When one or two rooms won't cut it, a whole-home remodel brings your entire house up to the way you live now. We rework the layout, the flow, and the finishes so it all feels like one cohesive home, not a patchwork of projects.

The kitchen is where everyone ends up, so it's worth getting exactly right. We design kitchens that work as hard as they look, with layouts and finishes built around the way your family cooks and gathers.

Custom Homes

Building from scratch is the ultimate chance to get everything tailored exactly to your current life from the start, and we're with you for every decision along the way. We design and build homes that fit how you actually live, not a generic floor plan pulled off a shelf.

Our Process

1 | Consultation

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. 

2 | Design

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. 

3 | Build & Beyond

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."
