Customer Reviews
Kevin Miller
Our work with Gary and his team this past year during our home build could not have been better. They were very professional in all phases of the project. From initial planning, customizations and final walk thru, his team helped us all the way. We would highly recommend them for any home building project.
Nikki Berglund
Our building experience with Cornerstone has been better than we could have ever imagined. You hear so many horror stories about building a new house but this was the exact opposite of that. From the beginning Gary was informative and involved. We knew we wanted something energy efficient and he sold us on their commitment to that immediately. He worked within our budget while still giving us the house of our dreams. He promised us a house in 6 months and he delivered. There are so many builders out there who are putting up these houses quickly but you can tell they won’t be around for long. We have no doubt that the house Cornerstone has built for us will be around for generations! Lawrence was great to work with as well and the attention to detail was everything we could have asked for! Highly recommend!!

Gary at Cornerstone is Elite Level! A fantastic, caring guy who's love of your project shows through in all of his advice throughout your job. There are few builders who understand the nuts and bolts at the level Gary does, I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone considering a high quality construction project.
Brittaney van der Hagen
If you are looking for attention to detail, Gary is your guy. He is very detailed and expects the same from all of his subs. He's professional and courteous and really takes the time to get to know his clients and their wants and needs! I highly recommend Gary if you're in the market to build a home!
Brady Blomberg
Gary and his team at Cornerstone Custom Homes are the best of the best. The energy efficient homes they build are second to none. What separates them is the service after the sale. I recommend them to all my family and friends.
