"Welcome to the Family"

You may find this to be an odd saying coming from a homebuilding company. But we don't. Family is how we look at every customer who puts their faith in us to build their dream home. And, it's how we've satisfied more than 15,000 customers over the past 45 years.

Paul and Estelle Cummings began their married lives two decades ago with the purchase of a manor home in Briarcliff, a Wiseman-Hughes Enterprises community in Wheaton. The offer was simply too good for the cash-conscious newlyweds to resist.

Read their story...

Yes, we are one of the top 10 builders in the Chicago area. We're proud that hundreds of families just like your's each year have put us among the biggest and best. But there's a difference when you're buying from family. We have the rare ability to blend corporate expertise with the personal touch only a family-owned business can offer. This unique mix of business savvy and personal commitment is upheld to benefit you, our costumer.

You see, when James P. Hughes Sr. and Jerry Wiseman started the business in 1961, their mission was to take care of you, the customer. And today, that homegrown philosophy continues to ring true.

So what makes us different from the rest? Here are just a few reasons.

Construction Quality. It's hard to believe, but we've been working with many of the finest craftsman in Chicago since day one. For nearly 50 years, the tradesman who build our homes for you have been our business partners. For you this means craftsman who take genuine pride in their work because it's their name on your home too.
Architectural creativity. Every plan we offer is designed especially for the community where it will be built. Why is this important? Well, most of the big builders develop blueprints for the entire nation. Our plans are carefully designed to take in the character of the specific town or location. It's what makes our homes blend well with the community. Its little touches like front porches, craftsman styling, sunrooms, or Chicago brick. Naturally, we want you to feel at home, your home should feel right at home too.
Community. Building places where families grow and giving back to the communities where we build includes a park, a place where neighbors become lifelong friends. It's why each year we commit an amount of our profit to charitable endeavors. It's our way of taking care of the family.
Personalization. You've probably visited scores of communities and questioned numerous builders...is it included? And you've probably heard the word "no" way too many times when you've asked for that something special that will make your house your dream home. It's our pleasure to personalize your home just the way you dream it would be. That's why we offer numerous options along with a unique ability to customize your homes -- to your exacting tastes.
Customer Care. With more than thousands of satisfied homeowners behind us, we delight in taking care of you, our family. It's our pleasure to do so, every day, one customer at a time. Servicing you is our top priority. It's why one of every four customers is referred to us by an existing homeowner. It's why we've been in business for nearly 50 years. It's why we get up every morning and come to work. Just for you, every day, all year long.

So when we say welcome to the family, we just can't help it. We're delighted you've chosen to be part of the Wiseman-Hughes family.
