Look no further than Cornerstone for your needs! Drama free, worry free, and excellent communication from George, the owner. First off, he gave me a quote for my new kitchen that was beyond reasonable. I got several quotes from other companies; I was doing a full kitchen gut and remodel, leading into the dining area. I was floored by his quote, as some companies were almost insulting with what they wanted to charge. I didn't choose Cornerstone simply to save some coin either, he was very friendly, had great ideas, but also listened to my and my wife's ideas, and had a "we'll make it happen" attitude.
First, understand that Cornerstone does CUSTOM work. When discussing the dimensions of our pantry, I was caught up on the standard 18" or 24" widths and whatnot. George said, "We make our own cabinets....we'll make them exactly how you want them." Did I mention that his quote was the most reasonable....AND I got a custom kitchen. My wife and I new exactly what we wanted, and how we wanted the layout, etc. George worked with all of our ideas, used the materials that we wanted to purchase (tile, brick, etc), and when imparting his ideas, was never pushy.
The project manager, Mike, was at the project probably over 90% of the time, making sure everything was running smoothly. He's a great communicator and an all-around nice guy. Both Mike and George are professionals; total people persons and were very aware that they were in MY home, acting respectfully and courteously.
As far as my kitchen goes, they built all new custom cabinets, installed crown moulding, ran new electrical, moved existing electrical, ran new plumbing, framed a new window, repaired stucco, prepared my raised foundation for tile, installed tile and brick veneer on my backsplash and feature wall, installed (large) new French doors, painted, installed countertops, and installed new appliances.
The tile floor we chose were very large concrete "looking" tiles. My wife and I wanted the smallest grout lines as possible to make it look like a concrete floor. Their tile guy knocked it out of the park. The brick veneer we chose - we wanted large grout lines, like a normal brick wall. Again, they knocked it out of the park with the mortared look. The stucco that was repaired around the new doors and window was seamless-better than I've ever seen.
The photos included with this review pretty much speak for themselves. But what you don't see is the professionalism with Cornerstone. And what impressed me the most, was that when something didn't go as planned, or something unforeseen happened (as with ANY construction job), they just corrected what needed to be, explained things to me and my wife, and DIDN'T NICKEL AND DIME me for something that was slightly out of the scope of work!! Also, we had a very detailed contract and payment schedule - there was no ridiculous down payment, and fair and even payments through out the process.
I've learned my lesson through NUMEROUS projects and contractors throughout my home ownership, that you get what you pay for. I've had all-out disasters. I spent the time on this review because this company deserves it. My wife and I have a kitchen that belongs in a magazine, and everyone who walks into my kitchen is blown away!! If you want drama; love weirdos in your home; like shotty and boring work; and want an untrustworthy contractor - don't choose Cornerstone.
If you want AMAZING CRAFTSMANSHIP, and truly good people (George, Mike, and crew) in your home making it what you dreamed of, give Cornerstone the chance! read more
