Bathroom Remodeling in Central New Jersey

By Houghton Contracting

Elevate Your Smallest Room for the Biggest Impact

A bathroom is the first room you see in the morning and the last one at night, so it has a real say in how your days begin and end.

A remodel can turn yours into a calm retreat, or simply a smarter, better-organized space that makes the morning rush easier on everyone.

At Houghton Contracting, we design around how you actually use the room, the storage you've been missing, the shower you've always wanted, the finishes that feel like you, then build it to last. As a design-build team, we handle the tile, plumbing, waterproofing, and finishes together, so the beautiful parts and the parts hidden behind the wall are both done right.

It's a small room where the details matter most, and the details are what we do best.

Where to Spend and Where to Save on a Bathroom Remodel

A bathroom lives or dies on the work you can't see. Waterproofing, plumbing, and ventilation are the least glamorous lines on the estimate, and they're the ones we'll always protect, because a leak behind fresh tile can undo everything above it.

After that, steer your budget toward the pieces that need to withstand everyday wear, like a great shower, quality tile, and a vanity built to survive real life.

The finishing touches are where you get to relax a little, since a mirror, light fixtures, hardware, or a paint color are easy and inexpensive to rethink later. We'll walk it line by line, so your money protects the room first and beautifies it second. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BATHROOM REMODELING

How much does a bathroom remodel cost in New Jersey?expand_more

In Central New Jersey, bathroom remodels generally run about $30,000 to $45,000 for a refresh that keeps the existing layout, $45,000 to $75,000 for a mid-range remodel with some layout changes and upgraded finishes, and $75,000 to $150,000 or more for a luxury, fully custom bath.

The cost depends on tile, fixtures, whether you move plumbing, and the size of the space. Our free cost guide breaks it down by level. 

How long does a bathroom remodel take?expand_more

Most bathroom remodels take about 6 to 8 weeks of construction, depending on the size and how much is changing.

Moving plumbing, custom tile work, and specialty features can push it a little longer. Design and selections happen before construction, and locking those in early keeps everything on track. 

Can you design a bathroom for aging in place?expand_more

Absolutely, and it's a smart, forward-thinking investment. We can design curbless showers, grab bars, comfort-height fixtures, and slip-resistant finishes that add safety and accessibility without making the room feel clinical.

Done well, an aging-in-place bathroom simply looks like a beautiful, modern bathroom. We'll help you plan for now and for the years down the road.

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.

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."
