For decades, this family-owned and operated business has built a reputation for excellence, integrity, and unparalleled craftsmanship in the construction and home renovation industry. Specializing in comprehensive residential and light commercial projects, Houghton Contracting serves as a reliable single point of contact for clients looking to transform their homes or businesses, focusing particularly on complex remodeling projects that require detailed planning and skilled execution.

The core services offered by Houghton Contracting encompass a wide range of essential construction needs, as suggested by their focus on “Kitchens, bathrooms, and full home additions.” Kitchen renovations are often the centerpiece of their work, where they blend aesthetic vision with practical functionality, delivering modern, chef-inspired spaces or classic, comfortable gathering areas. They manage every stage, from initial design consultation and material sourcing (including custom cabinetry, countertops, and high-end appliances) to electrical, plumbing, and final installation. Similarly, their bathroom remodeling services range from luxurious spa-like retreats featuring custom tile work and walk-in showers to efficient, high-quality updates for guest bathrooms, always adhering to the highest standards of waterproofing and durability.

Beyond interior remodels, Houghton Contracting excels at building substantial home additions. Whether a client requires an extra bedroom, a sunroom, a second story addition, or an expanded living area, the team manages the entire process—from navigating local zoning and permitting requirements in the Trenton area (Zip 8619) to foundation work, framing, roofing, and coordinating all subcontractors. Their extensive experience ensures that new additions seamlessly blend with the existing structure’s architecture and finish.

What distinguishes Houghton Contracting is its commitment to a client-first approach. They understand that a major construction project can be stressful, and they strive to make the experience as smooth and transparent as possible. This is achieved through detailed initial estimates, clear communication throughout the project timeline, and a dedicated project manager assigned to every job. Furthermore, their team is comprised of highly experienced, licensed, and insured professionals—including master carpenters, plumbers, and electricians—all committed to delivering projects on time and within budget.

For commercial clients, Houghton provides services focused on tenant fit-outs, office renovations, and property maintenance, offering the same level of quality and professionalism applied to their residential work. Their dedication to quality materials and meticulous attention to detail ensures that every finished project not only meets but exceeds the client’s expectations, enhancing property value and functionality for years to come. By consistently prioritizing safety, utilizing the latest construction techniques, and standing behind their work with robust warranties, Houghton Contracting maintains its status as a trusted cornerstone of the Hamilton/Trenton general contracting scene.
