ABOUT
With over three decades of experience in the construction industry and a third generation builder Paul Hughes’s dedication to the profession runs deep. At the age of 21, and armed with a degree in Construction Technology Paul found himself in the world of project management, overseeing seismic upgrades for commercial masonry buildings in downtown San Francisco. This early exposure to high-stakes projects laid the foundation for his career. Transitioning through roles with various residential contractors, Paul's expertise matured rapidly, culminating in him obtaining his own contractor's license at the young age of 23. Over the next 15 years, Paul's imprint on San Francisco and Marin was ingrained as he spearheaded hundreds of projects, ranging from intricate remodels to ambitious new construction. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to quality, he also ventured into custom home development. A pivotal juncture led Paul to run projects for other contractors such as VanAcker, Fisher Development, and Lendlease, where he immersed himself in exclusive endeavors, including a 35,000 sq/ft mansion in Pacific Heights and two groundbreaking high-rise projects in San Francisco. This phase refined his technical prowess and the complex dynamics of the construction business. Back again at the helm of Hughes Builders, he brings a wealth of experience and a relentless pursuit of perfection to every project. Paul remains dedicated to his craft, continuing the legacy of generations past while shaping the bay area skyline. When he's not overseeing projects, you'll find him indulging in his passions—exploring Marin's trails on his mountain bike, carving through snow with his wife on the slopes, embarking on adventures with his children, or simply enjoying downtime with his faithful companion, Mac.
