As a remodeling company, we specialize in delivering tailored solutions for both residential remodeling and commercial remodeling projects. Our team proudly serves clients throughout Lancaster, PA. With over 12 years of experience, Cornerstone Interiors brings collective expertise and proven methodologies to every project we undertake.
What types of remodeling services do you provide?
We offer a full spectrum of remodeling services, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, room additions, flooring upgrades, structural layout changes, and more. Our team also provides specialized commercial remodeling designed to minimize downtime while enhancing functionality. We approach each project with a focus on craftsmanship and client goals, ensuring comprehensive remodeling services that meet modern standards.
How long does a typical remodeling project take?
Project duration in the industry typically depends on several factors: size of the area, scope of work, availability of materials, and coordination with inspections or permits. We prioritize quality over speed by following industry-approved sequences - planning, demolition, construction, and finishing - to ensure each phase is executed thoroughly for lasting results.
How much does a home remodel usually cost?
The cost of a home remodel is influenced by material selections, complexity of design changes, labor requirements, and any unforeseen conditions discovered during demolition. We guide our clients through detailed estimates based on current market rates and scope-specific variables to support informed financial decisions throughout the process.
How do you ensure a room extension blends seamlessly with the existing structure?
Using our advanced Makita tools and precise measurement protocols, we execute structural alignments that match existing elevations and finishes. Our team incorporates material continuity strategies, including siding matches and roofline integration, to ensure new additions feel cohesive with original architecture in both function and appearance.
What’s your process for handling load-bearing walls during layout changes?
As bonded contractors with 12 years of expertise in structural modification, we implement engineered solutions supported by architectural review. Our process includes temporary supports during removal stages and installation of beams or headers according to load calculations, ensuring safety compliance while achieving open-concept designs.
Which materials provide the best balance of durability and aesthetics for high-traffic flooring?
LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank), ceramic tile, and engineered hardwood are commonly recommended for their resilience against wear without compromising visual appeal. In residential remodeling settings where foot traffic is high, such as kitchens or hallways, we advise selecting products rated for abrasion resistance while offering texture options that complement interior themes.
How do you coordinate subcontractors and inspections to keep a project on schedule?
With our internal scheduling system developed over years of practice since 2013, we proactively manage subcontractor timelines alongside permit inspection requirements. Each phase is mapped out with contingency buffers to adapt as needed while ensuring workflow remains aligned with milestone targets, keeping momentum steady throughout execution.
What ventilation or insulation upgrades do you recommend during a roofing replacement?
During roofing replacements, it’s essential to consider attic ventilation systems like ridge vents or soffit vents that regulate airflow and reduce moisture accumulation. We often pair these with upgraded insulation materials such as radiant barriers or closed-cell foam to improve thermal performance across all seasons within our service area.
How do you address potential moisture and mold issues uncovered during remodeling?
When we encounter hidden moisture damage or mold growth during demolition phases, our licensed team immediately isolates affected areas using containment procedures. Remediation involves source identification, material replacement if necessary, followed by application of antimicrobial treatments, all performed in alignment with health safety standards.
What quality control steps are taken before the final walkthrough of a project?
Prior to client walkthroughs, our team conducts multi-point inspections covering workmanship integrity across finishes, functionality checks on installed fixtures (including Moen systems), cleanliness evaluation, and final punch list reviews. This ensures every component aligns with expectations before handoff, reinforcing our commitment to accountability at every level.
