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!

I needed to find a builder I could trust and treat me with the same respect that I treated them. Ben Conklin was the owner of that company. He met with me in the dead of winter as I was under a time crunch and make what is typically a very stressful life event, much less stressful.
Additionally, on a couple of occasions during the house building phases, Ben gently educated me on possible improved alternatives to some of my choices without making me feel completely foolish. Never did Ben say something wasnt possible, he was a straight shooter and was very transparent with change requests.
