“Working with Lin Hough on our lake house project at 737 East Lake Road, has been a wonderful experience! From our first meeting with Lin through the completion of our project, he has exceeded our expectations in every area. Lin is passionate about using the best design, product, and workmanship in each component of the construction process.
As the President of New York State’s largest independent real estate company and personally a 30-year member of the Niagara Frontier Builder’s Association, we are very experienced in working with builders in the new construction arena; and Lin Hough is second to none!
Lin controls the quality of his projects by using premium products, his own crews, and constantly inspects and monitors the job to his high standards. I would, without hesitation, strong recommend Lin Hough to assure an enjoyable building process and an exceptional finished product.”

“I have been so pleased with my house that Hough Builders has built for me this past year. Lin’s dedication to quality is evident in every aspect and detail. The quality of the workmanship of his team is impressive. Friends and neighbors who watched the building process constantly reported to me how impressed they were with each step of the construction. It feels wonderful being in a house of such quality.”

“We could not be more pleased with our new Keuka Lake home. Hough Builders worked with Art’s brother, John, an award winning architect and managing partner of Cooper Robertson and Partners of New York City. John’s design included many extraordinary interior and exterior custom design details rarely seen in today’s homes. Some of these intricate details presented Lin and his crew considerable challenges, but all were executed flawlessly. Lin and his crew also brought lots of good ideas forward to make the home better and many times less costly. The result is a beautiful home inside and out, one we absolutely love. Our home is equally impressive for the solid and intelligent construction with only the best materials. “Skipping Stone” could not be better constructed.
But the final product is only part of the story. Working with Lin and Cindy, their crew and sub contractors was a real pleasure. Lin and Cindy are not only efficient, pleasant and accommodating, they do everything with the utmost integrity.
"B & L Hough Custom Homes is a first-class construction company with outstanding work ethics. When they built my new home, they met agreed upon time tables and were very easy to work with.

Integrity – Craftsmanship -Quality Materials -Versatility (Resources & Proven Capability)
Hough Builders exceeded the high expectations we formed. The result was the finest quality home we’ve experienced. The employees of Hough Builders took pride in the quality of their work and remained professional at all times.

“We could not be happier with our new lake home. Not only is our home of the highest quality, it was completed on time. ….in this day and age housing projects typically run over timeframes and budgets. Ours did not.
One last word merits underscoring: integrity. Lin is ‘as honest as the day is long’ – and he works some long days! He is also a good listener and is very responsive 24/7 as he and Dave captured our vision. …we’ve had friends and strangers alike provide praise for our Keuka Lake home…. The best is ‘it looks like it always belonged there’!”
John and Kathy Halstead

“Lin’s passion for excellence shines through in every corner of the house and is reflected in every person on his crew. What a great team! We could feel the pride that went into every detail of the house as it was built. It was such an exciting experience for us to see the house materialize from a design on paper to the final result of a home that we are proud to say reflects who we are.
We certainly would recommend Hough Builders to anyone interested in building a quality custom home constructed with integrity by the utmost professional craftsmen.”
