History

Our business was founded in 1952 by General Contractor, Bernie Hough.

Bernie’s son, Lin, worked with his father during summer vacations from the age of 12. Then in 1975, Lin joined the firm full-time working shoulder to shoulder with his father and their select master craftsmen.

In the year 2000 Bernie retired and Lin formed Hough Builders, Inc. continuing to build on the Hough name and what it symbolizes, high quality custom-built homes with pride and integrity.

Tom King joined the Hough Builders team in 2004. In 2019 Tom became Vice President and General Manager. Tom continues to work with Hough Builders master craftsmen building high quality custom-built homes as premier builders on the shores of Keuka Lake and the surrounding areas.

Craftmen, Not Just Builders

From site planning, permits, and excavation through masonry, framing, roofing, siding, electrical, plumbing, drywall, finish trim, and custom cabinetry, the Houghs are involved in every last detail.

For almost 70 years and hundreds of new homes, the Hough name has been synonymous with the highest quality construction on the shores and hillsides of Keuka Lake and the surrounding areas.

Welcome! We are looking forward to work with you.

Lin, Cindy and Tom

Featured Testimonials

The Hough team did a fantastic job on our house. After great deliberation (we are at seven generations on the property), we knocked down one of the oldest houses on Keuka Lake and replaced it with this modern replica. The whole team, specifically Chris Doherty and Dave Wilder; responded very well to our goal of a historic tribute to the “Old Kinyoun place”. We were impressed both with the craftsmanship, and how communicative Chris and his crew were during the build. Well done!
