What we build

One contractor, whole project

From ground-up builds to the repair jobs nobody calls back about, handled under one roof with one point of contact.

New Construction

Ground-up builds managed from plans to final walkthrough: site work, framing, trades, and finish, coordinated under one contract.

  • Custom homes
  • Shops & garages
  • Plan-to-finish management

Remodels

Whole-home and single-room remodels that respect the house you have while building the one you want.

  • Whole-home remodels
  • Interior reconfigurations
  • Aging-in-place updates

Additions & ADUs

More square footage done right: additions and accessory dwelling units that match the existing structure and meet code cleanly.

  • Room additions
  • ADUs & granny units
  • Garage conversions

Kitchens & Baths

The two rooms that sell a house and shape every day in it. Layout, cabinetry, tile, and fixtures, sequenced so the mess stays short.

  • Kitchen remodels
  • Bathroom remodels
  • Fixture & finish upgrades

Decks & Exterior

Decks, patio covers, siding, and exterior repairs built for valley summers and wet winters.

  • Decks & patio covers
  • Siding & trim
  • Exterior repairs

Repairs & Projects

The in-between jobs other contractors will not call back about: structural fixes, dry rot, doors, drywall, and punch lists.

  • Structural & dry rot repair
  • Doors & windows
  • Punch-list work
Why Cornerstone

The first stone sets every wall

A cornerstone is what the rest of the building lines up on. That is how we treat the first conversation, the first bid, and the first day on site.

Matt runs the job

You deal with the person building your project, not a project manager three layers up. Questions get answered on site.

Local to the North Valley

Chico and Durham roots. Local subs, local suppliers, and a reputation that lives where you do.

Straight bids

A clear scope and an honest number up front. If something changes mid-project, you hear about it before it costs anything.

Finished means finished

The last five percent is the difference between a job and a reputation. Punch lists get done, not promised.

The short version

Hire the contractor who shows up when he says, bids what he means, and finishes what he starts. That is the whole pitch.

How it works

From first walk to final walkthrough

01

Walk the project

Matt comes out, looks at the actual conditions, and listens to what you want the space to do.

02

Scope & bid

A written scope and a straight price. You know what is included, what is not, and where the decisions are.

03

Build it square

Clean framing, tight finish work, and a schedule you can plan your life around. Surprises get a phone call, not an invoice.

04

Final walkthrough

We walk it together, punch out the details, and hand you a finished project you will not have to think about again.
