We built with Ben about two years ago and couldnt be happier. Ben managed to stay on budget and on time even with all of our changes, accommodating any request we had and actually applying ideas or pictures we had seen. With being our first time building, Ben and his staff answered our questions and reassured us taking the stress out of the building process. The end result is our beautiful home that we continually get compliments for and couldnt be happier with. We definitely recommend Conklin Construction to anyone thinking about building their new home.

We built our first home with Conklin construction about a year ago. The experience was great from the beginning to end. We are very pleased with the overall build quality and felt the price was good as well!

We had a great experience working with Ben! We had a deadline to close on our old house and our new home and Ben made it happen. We also enjoyed the finished product as Ben has great taste and adds a lot of value for the price we built. Any questions or concerns we had along the way were taken seriously and fixed immediately. Highly recommended!

We built with Ben and Conklin Construction about 3 hears ago. The house was everything we wanted and was built on time and on budget. Ben was easy to work with and available if we needed to discuss anything. I would recommend Conklin Construction for your building needs.
