Home Improvement Contractor in Hopewell Township, NJ

From Titusville to the Sourlands

Farmhouses, older homes and newer builds across Mercer County's largest township, from a licensed local crew.

Godloves Home Improvements works on homes throughout Hopewell Township. We’re based in Hamilton, and owner Charles Godlove has been doing this work since 2005. Hopewell is different from the rest of Mercer County: more land, more farmhouses and more history spread across a much bigger area.

Mercer County’s Largest Township

Hopewell Township covers about 59 square miles, the most of any town in Mercer County, and is home to about 17,500 people. It runs from the Delaware River to the Sourland Mountain region, with rolling hills, preserved farmland and Washington Crossing State Park. It’s made up of small communities, and we work in all of them:

Titusville and Washington Crossing, along the Delaware
Harbourton and Pleasant Valley
Mount Rose, Marshall’s Corner, Glenmoore and Woodsville
Bear Tavern, Pennington-area and Hopewell-area neighborhoods

Pennington and Hopewell Boroughs

Hopewell Township completely surrounds two separate towns, Pennington Borough and Hopewell Borough. They have their own governments, so permits and approvals there go through the borough, not the township. Many township homes also have a Pennington or Hopewell mailing address. If you’re not sure which one you’re in, check your property tax bill. We work in the township and both boroughs.

Historic Homes and Local Review

Hopewell Township has a long history, and some of it is protected. The township has a locally designated historic district, the Harbourton Rural Historic District, plus 26 individually designated landmarks, many of them farmhouses and houses in Titusville, Harbourton and Mount Rose. The Pleasant Valley and Titusville areas are also listed on the National Register.

For a designated property, the township requires a certificate of appropriateness before most exterior changes, such as additions, new windows and doors, or other changes to how the building looks. Painting and ordinary maintenance are generally exempt. We’ve worked on century-old homes that needed Historical Society approval, and we’re used to matching original materials and trim.

Farmhouses, Older Homes and Newer Builds

An old farmhouse can have framing that isn’t square, additions from different eras and systems that have been patched over the years. Newer homes on larger lots often have builder-grade finishes ready for an upgrade. In both, we focus on the work you won’t see, and we build beyond code minimums instead of just aiming to pass inspection.

Chuck did an absolutely amazing job. I was at a loss as to what and how to do my kitchen, but thankfully I didn’t really have to do much thought at all! Chuck showed me the designs and helped me decide everything. When I was unsure of anything, he helped walk me through it all. It came out BEAUTIFULLY, and I absolutely love it. Thank you so much. I am just finally in love with my kitchen.

I recently hired Godloves Home Improvements for a kitchen remodel, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From start to finish, their team was professional, communicative, and incredibly skilled. They transformed my space beyond my expectations, delivering high-quality craftsmanship with attention to every detail.

The project was completed on time and within budget, with no hidden surprises. The crew was always punctual, respectful of my home, and kept everything clean throughout the process. Their design recommendations were spot-on, making my vision a reality.

If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality remodeling company, I highly recommend Godloves Home Improvements . I will definitely be using them for future projects!
