Cornerstone Construction & Remodeling Inc

They were wonderful, responsive, honest, and they worked well with us. They got the work done in a satisfactory time and I plan to use them again.

They are very underhanded. We had underground drainage tile that they disconnected to do the job. When they were done with the project, they connected to an old tile drainage that was improperly draining. We have had them out several time to look at the drainage problem. The problem has been intermittent and he said that he has never had any issues like this. We ended up hiring another company to fix the problem and they were able to determine that he didn't put enough downspouts in and incorrectly and improperly connected the new drainage system to the old system. They left a 4" pipe from the new system open and just threw a big blob of concrete on top of it but it was still open. This has been an ongoing problem for the last three years. I think they are very unprofessional and incompetent.

went very well. so helpful guiding me through the process.

We were happy with our first initial contact with them. Their estimate was reasonable. The man who came out was very personable.

Great advice on our decisions, and worked with cabinet designer to come up with the best design for our space. Had their own suggestions, but were willing to work with our ideas too. Any problems were resolved cheerfully and promptly. We LOVE our new kitchen. Tom and his crew did a great job! Even our dogs loved them.

We hired Cornerstone Construction to remodel our kitchen. I originally contacted Cornerstone after seeing one of Angie's Big Deal emails. I met with Tom Eastwood, owner of Cornerstone last Fall to discuss the promotion on Angie's List. The promotion was a kitchen remodel for a fixed price, provided the kitchen was a specific size. Tom showed up for the appointment right on time. He was very professional and made a good first impression. We discussed the kitchen remodel in general and what would be covered for the fixed price. After measuring my kitchen, Tom let me know that our cost would be somewhat higher based on the dimensions. This was not a surprise, as I knew my kitchen was a bit larger than the specific size in the promotion. I let Tom know that I was interested, but not ready to commit to the project.

I contacted Tom again a couple of months later. He came out again to discuss the project and to get more firm measurements so that he could provide me with an estimate. He let me know that I would be able to pick out cabinets from a local supplier that he works with, and indicated that the cabinets would be within a certain price range. If I chose cabinets outside of that range (i.e., higher), then the cost would go up.

After several more calls and delays on my part, we finally signed a contract for the kitchen remodel. The cost of the remodel was close to double the original promotion price, but that was due to kitchen size and cabinet and floor choice. There were no surprises once we agreed to the scope of the project.

I have not been involved in a kitchen remodel before. It was a somewhat intimidating process for me, as I am not a very decisive person. I tend to over think decisions and question them once I have decided.

About a week prior to start of the remodel, Tom came over for a pre-construction walk through. He introduced me to the project manager for my remodel. I thought Tom would be more involved in the project and was a little surprised that someone else would lead the project. Not to worry. Chris the project manager was a very nice young man who was pleasant and easy to work with. He knew what he was doing, cleaned up every day before he left and did very good work.

I am delighted with my kitchen, and all who have seen it are impressed with the workmanship of Cornerstone Construction. Tom and Chris are both trustworthy and I was never concerned about them being alone in our home.

What could be done differently? I shared with Tom that for remodel novices such as myself, I would have liked to have had a task list that specifically set out when my choices needed to be made. I found myself rushing to pick out paint colors and running around towards the end of the project to pick out lighting fixtures, etc. That might make a project such as this a little easier for the homeowner who has not gone through a remodel before.

Overall, a wonderful outcome. I would definitely hire Cornerstone Construction for any future projects that require a construction company.

Execellent communication daily, with consulting us and letting us know the next steps and any things we needed to do (like move furniture out of family room). Workers were polite, cleaned up after work, arrived and left at reasonable hours. Work was detailed and great quality, we are still enjoying their great job. Any issues were addressed and dealt with, ie a hole in the existing vinyl floor was repaired with left over vinyl we had saved, and is not noticeable. Tom Eastwood is very pleasant to deal with- you will enjoy having him as your contractor.

They were very friendly. They were very willing to explain to me on what worked and what didn't work. They told me why things needed to be done the way they were done. It is very easy to talk to them. If one tells them exactly what one wants, then they are very willing to listen and do what one wants them to do. The price was excellent. I would absolutely use them again if required.

They are real great to deal with. When you call them they either answer you on the phone or reach home quickly. We have made several changes to what we wanted to do. If you had any questions they would answer them for you. They give great feed back to any questions we have had whether it is work or how to do it. They were very accommodating to all the changes we wanted throughout the project. They have great variety and they gave us a good price. They were far cheaper than any other company we have been quoted. Sometimes it seemed that the work took long and sometimes it seemed as if they were very fast. The project took longer than the time frame they said it would take. But the size of the project was very large in itself. We would again use them in the future.

He got back to us quickly and got us the estimate quickly. He was willing to change things. He seemed very willing to do whatever we wanted done. We have just decided to postpone the work.

Good communication, pretty much daily as to each step and what we needed to do or pick out to be ready. Tom got the building permits and electrician James Hartley got the electrical ones. Tom had something happening every day but one and got us back to kitchen use in about 5 weeks and then fine tuning of cabinet doors, handles on etc. The project did grow to include tearing out paneled ceiling and walls in family room in order to safely install the can lights. They ended up needing to basically re-drywall the family room over the old damaged- from- glued-paneling drywall . Ceilings were re -textured as lights were moved and holes were patched. It went quite smoothly and Tom was willing to re-do a few personal preference items, like the trim work on the columns which my husband had done a rough sketch of. Low key and good humored describe the workers, detail oriented and knowledgeable, with good advice on suppliers and places to find backsplash tile, granite, etc.

We are extremely happy with the new space and with the process of creating it! We worked with Tedrick Architects to design the new space and conduct the bid. Cornerstone was the successful bidder in September last year. Within two weeks of signing the contract, work was underway! Cornerstone established milestones for the project during the contracting process and gave us regular progress updates along the way. They rarely fell behind schedule, but if they did we were made aware proactively. I have to say though, that most of the delays were the result of me not making timely decisions (i.e. on tile selction, paint colors, etc.)! All work was performed to code and all the proper permits were pulled and inspections completed - Cornerstone is exptremely ethical and careful in this area. Like every project, we had some unexpected issues and last minute tweaks and changes ("did I say I wanted double-hung windows? I think casement would actually be better" or "hmmm.... now that I see it in the space, I think that accent tile on the floor is too much, how could we achieve the same look without adding more color?") but Cornerstone handled it all in stride and kept us on track - they were very creative and always kept their sense of humor! One of the best things about our new space is the fabulous custom woodwork - you won't find any better anywhere!

They were very professional and courteous. They cleaned up well after themselves. It was a very positive experience.

From beginning to end, we had an excellent experience with Cornerstone Construction and Remodeling. Tom, Scott and their crew were professional and thorough. They listened to our ideas and helped us make our dream a reality. They were also great about making suggestions to make our "dreams" work even better than we thought they could. We appreciated having access to their expertise, with this being our first remodeling project. Our home is an MI home built in 1987, there wasn't much attention to details (like making sure walls were square or putting plumbing and wiring where it is supposed to be just to name a couple). The guys were able to fix or work around these challenges and make it look like we meant to do it that way. They were also present whenever any subcontractors were at our house, making sure their work was done right and to our specifications. I would not hesitate to use this company again.
