FAQs

Cornerstone Design Co. handles custom trim, molding and built-ins in Waco and surrounding Central Texas communities. Most millwork is fabricated in their own shop and installed by the same crew, so profiles are cut to the actual room rather than adapted from stock sizes.

Cost depends on linear footage, profile complexity, number of inside and outside corners, and whether blocking or wall prep is needed before installation. Built-ins add cost based on the number of shelves, doors and drawer boxes. A site visit lets the crew measure actual conditions before quoting.

Confirm the crew fabricates in house rather than ordering pre-made pieces, since shop-built millwork fits real wall dimensions more precisely. Ask whether the warranty covers labor separately from material — a two-year labor warranty on supplied materials is a concrete benchmark worth requesting in writing.

Cornerstone Design Co. runs kitchen remodels as a single-team project covering cabinetry, flooring, countertops and backsplash under one crew. No work starts until every material is on site and verified for color, finish and quality, which keeps the project moving without waiting on outside trades.

Kitchen remodel cost is driven by layout changes, cabinet line selection, countertop material, flooring scope and whether the existing space needs structural or electrical work before finishes begin. Projects planned as a complete kitchen — rather than individual swaps — allow accurate pricing because every scope element is accounted for up front.

Older Central Texas homes often have load-bearing walls defining the kitchen perimeter, so layout changes require structural assessment before any other planning. Addressing that early determines what the finished footprint can realistically be, which prevents scope changes midway that push cost and timeline beyond the original plan.

Cornerstone Design Co. takes bathroom projects from initial design through final walkthrough as one team. Shower-only jobs are accepted, but single fixture or cabinet swaps are not — the scope is planned as a whole room so nothing is designed around a gap left by a prior incomplete project.

Master bath pricing depends on whether the layout changes, the size of the wet area, fixture selections, tile scope and whether existing plumbing locations stay in place. Certified acrylic bath systems carry a lifetime manufacturer warranty, which affects material cost relative to tile but reduces long-term maintenance exposure in high-use wet areas.

A two-year labor warranty on supplied materials, on top of the manufacturer's warranty, is the standard Cornerstone carries across kitchen, bath and finish carpentry work. The key distinction is whether the labor warranty is written and applies to the contractor's own work — not just a pass-through of whatever the manufacturer covers.

The company serves Crawford, Waco, Hewitt, Killeen, Temple and Belton. That range covers a significant stretch of Central Texas, so homeowners across that corridor can book the same in-house team rather than finding separate design and build contractors in their area.

Because every material is verified on site before work begins, finish, color and quality issues are caught before installation rather than mid-project. Discovering a problem after cabinets are set or tile is laid forces a full tear-out — catching it at delivery is the difference between a one-day delay and a major scope change.

Cornerstone Design Co. employs background-checked, drug-screened employees rather than rotating subcontractors, and the business is insured. That structure means the people on site carry consistent accountability — something worth confirming with any contractor before a project begins, regardless of who you hire.
