The “Huff Way”

the-huff-wayWhen Duane Huff founded Huff Construction in 1971, he was determined to build a great commercial construction company. It was Duane’s dedication to quality and commitment to hard work that quickly built Huff’s reputation for unsurpassed quality and integrity. Today all of our employees at every level of the company are expected to carry on Duane’s vision for Huff Construction.

Our CEO, Gary Huff, and our President, Brad Ardis, grew up in this business working side by side with Duane. Each has worked in all areas of the company starting out in the field as laborers on their summer vacations. In addition to Gary and Brad, many of our valued employees spend years at Huff Construction learning the business and working their way up through various positions. Building a foundation of learning every aspect of the business through actually doing it is truly the “Huff Way.”

Our decades of proven performance and unparalleled expertise have made Huff Construction one of the most reliable and respected General Contractors in the areas we serve. Huff Construction is a trusted construction partner valued by architects, sub-contractors, financers and most of all – our clients.

Over 40 Years in Business

Over our 40+ years in business, Huff Construction has stayed true to Duane’s original commitment to quality and hard work. We have also followed Duane’s vision of embracing the newest technology and staying on the forefront of the construction industry. We are honored to be leading the great company that Duane built!

Today, Huff Construction has a large team of highly skilled employees, which continues to grow as we expand into new markets and offer new services. As we look to the future of Huff Construction we look forward to seeing what the next forty years holds for us, in our ongoing pursuit of Duane’s vision and “Building Excellence….The Huff Way.”

Tower Park Opens in Downtown Modesto

Huff Construction is proud to build projects that make a difference in our local communities. Tower Park senior housing which opened in Modesto in June 2016 is an example of just such a project.

A beautiful addition to downtown Modesto, this new free standing building is three stories tall and has 50 living units.  The complex was designed by the Dahlin Group and built by Huff.  It is the first major senior housing project in downtown Modesto since the 11-story Ralston Tower apartments opened more than 40 years ago.

In addition to the 50 living units the Tower Park complex includes a community room, lounge, fitness center and raised vegetable planters. It also includes numerous green building features such as solar water heating, environmentally sensitive interior finishes, low-flow faucets and shower heads, green label carpet, and Energy Star-rate appliances.

Keeping its senior residents in mind the complex includes “wayfinding” features such as each floor with its own color scheme and hallways that are lined with waist-high decorative molding that’s about the depth of a windowsill, so residents can use it as they would a handrail. These design elements have been incorporated to help seniors who might experience forgetfulness or balance problems.

According to the Satellite Affordable Housing Association Executive Director Susan Friedland, “Projects like tower park apartments are so important because they strengthen neighborhoods by providing the aging members of our communities with quality affordable homes and services that empower them, and help them age with dignity.” Huff Construction is proud to be a part of important projects like Tower Park!
