Conklin Bros

We love our hardwood floors! You did an amazing job! Our house looks 10 times better! Thank you!

I am putting in new carpet and stopped by Conklin Bros. in Fremont. The salesman, Tom Restuccia, was awesome and so helpful! Great knowledge about the products, local company been in business since 1880 made this a no-​brainier sale for me. Check out Conklin Bros. if you need new flooring!

My husband and I decided to hire Conklin Bros. to install our flooring, after a lot of research and a couple of estimates. Tom Restuccia was very knowledgeable about flooring options, and spent time with us discussing what would work best for us. We have cats, and we wanted flooring that is durable as well as attractive. After deciding for Mannington Luxury Vinyl Tile, Tom came over, measured, and gave us our written estimate.
Because our cats are indoor cats, we requested set hours for the installation. Tom was very accommodating; so was the Installations Manager and the crew.
The installation crew, Mario and Jose, were very professional. They were very punctual, meticulous, knowledgeable, and have an excellent work ethic. When they were done for the day, they made sure that everything was cleaned up. Upon finishing the installation, Mario made sure we were pleased with everything. Plus they were done ahead of schedule! Our floor looks amazing, it’s easy to keep clean, and we just love it!
Going the extra mile is what they do very well! Tom came by after the installation was complete, to verify that everything was to our satisfaction. Needless to say, if any of our friends need flooring options, we will recommend Conklin Bros.

We recently got our 3200 square foot house installed with carpets. Before we decided to come here we price checked a lot of places. There were a few places that were slightly cheaper but the customer service was horrible. We decided to come here because we felt so welcomed and the customer service was the best. Tom not only made sure we had the right carpet but met all of our needs. He was even understanding of our time «crunch.» We’ve done a lot of home improvements and this was by far the best experience we’ve had. From Tom to the installation guys we can’t praise them enough. Highly recommend this place.

Tom Restuccia was a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process of buying and installing carpet for our new home. We had a short timeframe to work with, needing installation within 2 days. He coordinated everything like a well tuned machine, with installation completed in a single day, and even accomodated a last minute reschedule due to our painter’s delay. All throughout, Tom was patient, knowledgeable, responsive and extremely pleasant to work with. It is hard to find such professionals in the home improvement business. Thank you Tom, and Conklin Brothers, for an absolutely lovely carpet and making life easier for first-​time home buyers. A++.

This review is for Jason S the installer of our new flooring. He did a great job of installing and cleaning up. Jason was great but can not recommend CONKLIN Bros. Fremont. A two day install was a two week install did not have enough flooring the first attemp.

We recently purchased carpet with installation for nearly half our house, and we shopped around quite a bit before settling on Conklin Brothers in Fremont. Our salesperson, Don V., immediately impressed us with his depth of knowledge, frankness and honesty. (In fact, every salesperson and representative of the company we came into contact with were very professional, helpful and pleasant to talk to!)
What really impressed me the most though was Don’s efforts to get an accurate estimate for our job. Many flooring stores we talked to were willing to give us an estimate based on rough estimates of the square footage. One came out and measured our rooms, and then added an extra 10% to the measurement as assumed «waste». But Don was different — he immediately seemed surprised that someone would quote us for such a large amount of waste, and when we had him come out to measure our space, we were pleased to find that the job could be done with very little waste. Don took the time to get out a pad of paper, pencil and ruler, and draw a very precise scale diagram of our floor plan. And then he carefully calculated how a single roll of carpet could be used to cover the various areas most efficiently, and how waste from one room could be used to cover odds and ends such as hallways and stairs. In the end there was very little waste, and his bid reflected that savings.
The carpet took very little time to get from the mill, and the installer they sent out (Jose) was very professional and friendly, and did a fantastic job of laying the carpet. The stairs in particular look much better now thanks to Jose’s extra effort to attach the carpet snuggly to the contours, unlike how the previous carpet had been attached. He also helped silence a number of loud squeaks in the subfloor before laying the carpet! Jose and his assistant took the time to clean up and vacuum, and really left the house looking clean and move-​in ready. They also did a good job moving furniture carefully.
All in all, I can’t recommend Conklin Brothers enough. Not only did we feel the most comfortable with them from the get-​go, but they also ended up giving us a very competitive bid. I’ll definitely pay them a visit again next time I need some flooring done!

Conklin… over priced slow to install and the work was half ass. Did not finish corner grout and tile work. Left areas exposed when it should have been finished. Every little thing they wanted more money. The grout in shower is staining the tub. The grout is cracking in spots. They do not commuicate well and show up whenever they want. Just a very sad experience I wish I had gone somewhere else… and when we were leaving the show room we could see them laughing at our order and how we suckered these guys in to our business. Pretty sad. VERY BAD EXPERIENCE.
