Kitchen cabinets took three tries to get color right and paint to adhere correctly. Hardwood floors were installed incorrectly. Not sure how a “professional” company can install flooring without stabilizing the floor but we have separation in almost every room due to poor installation. Have communicated several times on warrant repairs and Ray agreed to “make it right” however, he is no longer responding to our communication to repair the floors under his warranty. This is the most unprofessional company I have ever dealt with and will be filing a lawsuit to compensate for installation costs to repair the horrible quality of work performed by this company..Do not use these guys!

Perfectly. Ray and his team did a great job. First he gave me an honest estimate (compared with others) of what the project would entail. His team arrived on the day expected and the work was completed on time and under budget! Quality work, great follow up and easy communication. We are already talking with him about our next project.

My sincerest apology to you sir. I looked you up in our records and found your file. We did indeed perform an estimate at your home. I am not.sure why you did not get, but will take the time and effort to find out. If you haven't had the work completed please let us know and we will do our best to make this right.Scott D.

Can’t say enough good things about the work performed. We had 2 kitchen walls removed to open to the living room and had an “L” shaped bar installed with granite countertops. They also installed hardwood floors throughout our house. Milton Ray and Gerald are perfectionists. I truly felt like they would do anything to make sure we were satisfied. They listened to all of our ideas and were transparently honest with their feedback. The end result exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend their services

Went off without a hitch---mostly. I only say that because the painter got the wrong paint color. When I noticed I called Tracy and that problem was fixed within 2 hours. Our kitchen was old and dim, and our deck was about to fall down. Now, our kitchen is beautiful, well designed with lots of lights. The quality of work was fantastic. We highly recommend.

We were going to have our kitchen remodeled this year and we found Artisan on the web. We called and they came out to give us an estimate. We hired them and they did a wonderful job from designing our kitchen and rebuilding it to making it great. We plan to use this group as the needs arise

Project was very disappointing and cost was very high. Quality of work was inferior resulting in our needing to have things torn out and replaced by another contractor. Supervision and communication was basically missing for the latter part of the project. Would never hire again.

Contractor fraudulently obtained a permit to perform work and was not qualified to perform the level of renovation required. Absconded from the project and over-billed more than$5000. Refused to provide invoices to itemize material and labor costs.

Tracy is impeccable in hos professionalism,punctuality .They are a busy group I think so turn around time for quotes are almost 7-8 days ,but this was already mentioned up front.He could envision my plan perfectly with few hints and he actually improved on it significantlyHe quoted approximately 223000 for a 12x14 sun room with mostly glass windows ,ne.w roof and large picture window separating living room and sun room..He gave me a step by step project prediction and payment schedule with a detailed contract agreement and revised it based on my request for a labor only quote.His quote was within the medium .I had received quotes from 15 k to 35 K on the same project.I choose some one with a lower quote due to my budget restriction and an effort to a person back on track in his life.If it was not for the second reason I would have definitely opted Tracy and his team. Hopefully I will have chance to work with him again !

We we're looking for a GC to give us an estimate for a full renovation if a house we were considering and reached out to several top-rated contractors. Artisan was the first to respond. While we didn't end up purchasing the house, it was clear as we went through and discussed options that they were pros. They gave excellent advice, and acted as true consultants for us. Would definitely hire.

Hands down a company we would use again. They worked around our work schedules and our new baby schedule. They were flexible when we felt we just couldn't be. We actually met the owner in a restaurant while standing in line to pay. We talked briefly about some project ideas so I contacted a few days later and they came out to estimate. We hired them to do a ton of work in our house and they did a wonderful job. When our budget permits we will call on them again. Again, I want to reiterate there are tons of contractors out there, but these folks are great in our opinion. My only negative thing to say is they sometimes didn't keep the exit door always shut and our dog got out a few times.

Overall the job went very well, and better than expected. Although the job took a few days more than anticipated; we are pleased with the result. Our kitchen was badly outdated and we have been looking to remodel. We first took to Lowes for our cabinets, but the cost was astronomical. We heard about this company from neighbors and went to check them out here. It turns out we got custom made cabinets, walls moved, countertops for less than what Lowes was going to charge us for just cabinets. The work quality was fantastic and the crews very professional and responsive. Would highly recommend.

We were in the process of selling our home, and needed several repairs done before we are able to sell. We called 4 contractors to give us an Estimate. One of those contractors never showed up, 1 didn't even come, and another came did an estimate, but never would return our calls. Cornerstone came did a thorough inspection and came back once more, and provided a detailed estimate of the work we wanted. We appreciated that and made the decision to hire them. They came and helped us fix the structural repairs and other cosmetic repairs we needed. Throughout the process they were very professional. We are hiring them again soon for some items in our new place.

I hired Cornerstone Design Build Group Inc to build a new carport that would blend seamlessly with and accent the existing structure of the home. This was a complicated undertaking and would extend the roof line of the property. I could not be more pleased with the result! Highly Recommend.

We lived out of town but purchased a home in Winston because we planned to move there. We were hesitant about hiring a contractor to do work at our new place. It was a scary proposition to us but this home need a ton of TLC just to be able to live in it. So glad we found Cornerstone Design Build Group, Inc. Our experience with them was great. They sent us pictures and videos almost daily of the progress on our home. It was a fantastic experience, even though we were far away. Now, we are in our home and it just looks great. They did everything we asked and got the job done just before we moved in. Good people in this company and we will use them again.

We first called this firm because of their notoriety for Design work. At our first meeting we pleasantly discovered that he was not only an expert on design, but also a contractor. This proved to be helpful for the wonderful success of our remodel. I only give them a B in the price category because they were not the cheapest company we interviewed, but I certainly feel that in the end we could not have hired anyone better. One of the biggest reasons we hired Cornerstone was how well they communicated with us from start to finish and even afterwards. I strongly encourage anyone that wants to have work done on their home or business to contact this company

Termites nearly destroyed our home. After talking to several contractors we finally and thankfully found a contractor who had the ability, skill, and tenacity we were looking for. He even came back from vacation just to help us. He took the time and educated us on the problems at hand and the process of the repair. He left to put together an estimate for us and in the meantime we checked his credentials, BBB rating, and references. We learned through our checking that he is not only a solid General Contractor but an award winning designer. We got the estimate and was very surprised that the cost of this was not going to be as high as I thought. In the end we got a great job. They are good people to know and we have become friends throughout this process. I am very proud to recommend Cornerstone, and we are using them again after Christmas to remodel our Master Suite

We have had a lot of work done on our house by various people. Some of it good and some it not so good. This company did it the right way. I will use no one else for any other work I need to have done. They are not only contractors, but designers as well. They gave my wife and I the beautiful well designed kitchen and bathroom we wanted. They followed up to make sure we were both completely satisfied. We had a slight issue with a small bit of sheet rock work and the owner of the company refused to take our money until they'd corrected the issue and we were completely happy. I'm so happy with the way both rooms turned out. We received their name as a reference and every person we talked to about them exemplified their honesty and integrity.
