Have Questions About Your Home Remodeling Project?
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Cornerstone Contracting's home remodeling services in Colorado, including project planning, timelines, and renovation options.
Can my existing bathroom accommodate a roll-in shower?
Possibly, but replacing the bathtub is only part of the evaluation. Doorway width, clear floor space, shower dimensions, drainage, and the existing floor structure all affect what is practical. A shower without a raised curb does not automatically provide enough room for wheelchair access. We offer roll-in shower installations and bathroom remodeling, with the layout planned around the space available and the person using it.
Should I choose a custom-home floor plan before evaluating my lot?
It is better to evaluate the lot before committing to a floor plan. Slope, driveway access, utility connections, drainage, and the home’s orientation can influence its layout and construction needs. Around Colorado Springs, a plan suited to a relatively level property may need substantial changes for a hillside site. Considering the land and home together helps identify those adjustments before the design is finalized.

Is Cornerstone Contracting licensed and insured?

Are estimates free for remodeling and new construction projects?
Yes. We offer free, no-obligation estimates for kitchen and bathroom remodels, whole-home renovations, additions, and custom homes. During the visit, we discuss your goals, review the space, and explain the next steps for planning your project.
Why does in-house design and drafting matter for my project?
Keeping design within the same company that builds your project connects plans directly with construction realities, budgets, and timelines. It reduces miscommunication, avoids delays waiting on outside drafters, and helps refine your design efficiently before building starts.
When was Cornerstone Contracting founded?
Cornerstone Contracting was founded in 2016 in Colorado Springs, bringing our founder's 40+ years of construction industry experience to local homeowners. As a locally owned company, we focus on personal attention, quality craftsmanship, and competitive pricing on every project.
How do you make a home addition feel like part of the original house?
The connection between old and new deserves as much attention as the added space. Rooflines, window proportions, exterior materials, ceiling heights, and floor transitions all influence how naturally an addition fits. Inside, the layout should provide a comfortable connection between rooms without creating awkward hallways or cutting off natural light. Planning these details early helps the finished home feel cohesive.
What are your business hours?
Our team is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. We are closed on Sundays. Contact us anytime through our website, and we’ll follow up promptly to discuss your project and schedule a free estimate.
Will I work with the same team throughout my project?
Yes. As a small, locally owned company, we stay closely involved from design through construction and final walkthrough. You communicate directly with the people planning and building your project, which keeps decisions clear and questions answered quickly.
Is Cornerstone Contracting also a certified home inspector?
Yes. Our team includes certified home inspection credentials, which adds valuable insight when evaluating existing homes for remodels and additions. Understanding how a house was built helps us identify concerns early and plan improvements more accurately and confidently.
Do you handle permits for remodeling and construction projects?
Yes. We review the complete project scope early and manage required permits and inspections through Pikes Peak Regional Building Department. Handling permits properly protects your investment, keeps work compliant, and helps prevent delays during construction and final approval.
Is winter a good time to start construction in Colorado Springs?
Interior remodels continue comfortably through winter, and planning, drafting, and permitting during colder months positions exterior work for spring. Foundations and framing can proceed with cold-weather precautions when conditions allow safe, quality work. We schedule around the weather.
