Stairway to Heaven! Cornerstone Cowboys Construction is a Dream Team!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Luis and his phenomenal team at Cornerstone Cowboys Construction to build a staircase in my four-story house, and let me tell you, they exceeded every expectation! From the initial consultation to the final step, their professionalism, craftsmanship, and attention to detail were nothing short of extraordinary.

Luis is a true maestro in his field. He listened to my vision and brought it to life with such precision and creativity that I was left in awe. The quality of the materials used and the meticulous execution of the design have transformed my home into a masterpiece. Every step on my new staircase feels like walking on clouds!

The team was punctual, respectful, and incredibly efficient. They maintained a clean work environment and were always ready to answer any questions I had. Their dedication to excellence is evident in every aspect of their work.

If you’re looking for a construction company that delivers top-notch results with a touch of magic, look no further than Cornerstone Cowboys Construction. Luis and his team are the best in the business, and I couldn’t be happier with the stunning staircase they built for me. Highly recommended!

I recently bought a house and decided to add a bathroom and other details around it. After researching several providers, I decided to go with Cornerstone Cowboys.
Luis, Martinez, the Project manager, did a fantastic job.
He stayed on top the job, managed my expectations but most importantly, he always listened, understood my needs and provided outstanding customer service. Every time he went above and beyond.
The crew that included plumbers, electricians, carpenters were very qualify workers.
I highly recommended the company, and if you can ask for Luis, you will be on the winning side.

We bought a house in the Memorial Area and wanted to renovate the master bathroom suite and turn an adjoining bedroom into a walk-in closet. It was a pretty big job. Reached out to Cornerstone and was put into contact with one of their many Project Managers - Henry. He was quick to respond and had us come into the office and meet with one of the Designers of their sister company Liberty Kitchens Baths and More, her name was Liz. We talked thru what we wanted and our budget. In about a week they had a design prepared and we went in and looked at the 3D CAD renderings. Liz nailed it. We only made a couple minor adjustments and then finalized everything. Henry had the guys quick to work. They really transformed the whole space, adding a free standing bath tub, water closet, moving and enlarging the shower and all custom cabinetry, dressers and large island with granite in the closet. Even had to brick up a window. The whole job took 3 weeks and we are very pleased with the quality of work. Attaching some before and after pics for reference.

The work was great, completed faster than I thought, and exactly what I wanted.
I was referred from a builder in Houston and happy they worked with me on my home.

Project Manager Luis Martinez did an exceptionally great job fixing my entry door from damage by the hurricane. He was quick in diagnosing the problem and promptly fixed the door so I won’t have to worry about water entering again. He was beyond professional and I was completely satisfied. I highly recommend this great company and am very thankful to Luis for his prompt attention to my problem.

The communication and consistency was key with these guys!it was a big project and I changed my mind on details many times and they worked with me and explained things well! The main guy JT followed up throughout to make sure things were going smoothly and checking in on progress to make sure I was happy. (I am a bit OCD and a micromanager) but they were very easy to work with and made me feel comfortable with walking away and letting them do their handywork!! Now my rooftop terrace is just in time for the spring weather!

I hesitate to ever write something that would impact an individual's livelihood but after a year of working with the business and owner I feel confident we've done everything possible to work through this privately first.

This was a Covered Patio addition w/ fire pit and I'd say moderate cost.

Pros:
1) The phone number listed is for the owner which is quite bold for any company.
2) They were very quick to respond for a quote.
3) They completed the job even through all of the struggles. Some may have taken the money and run.

Cons:
1) The Project Manager, Cristian, assigned had very little oversight and added very little value beyond scheduling, ordering materials and translating.
-We had to drive around town to locate the stone material we wanted to use in his price range (which didn't exist by the way). There were not recommendations of where to go or any samples available on hand that he'd spec'd.
-We had to meet new contractors onsite and explain what they'd be doing. Inspect the job before they left. Look for issues and explain to everyone what needed to be fixed.
-We found out in April that Cristian didn't know we were in a windstorm zone in Brazoria even though he was advised by the City Inspector who was not closing out the final inspection without the engineer letter in January and Me at the beginning of the project where he noted it in the quote. *Still amazed* So the roof had to be replaced to meet the windstorm criteria.
-We had to keep and maintain an Issues log for everyone to know what was remaining to be repaired.
-We had to stay in constant communication w/ PM (and eventually the owner as well) if we wanted the job to move forward. Weeks would pass with no communication, no work, no major weather events and no explanations.
-PM refused to schedule workers in parallel
-Requests we made in quoting were explicitly ignored, such as the type of wood NOT to use or dimensions of the foundation. The foundation size was corrected luckily before they poured but unfortunately we reluctantly agreed to keep the wood if they could get the stain right... that took 4 attempts.
-This was quoted as a 30 day job, which contracted 7/9/22 and today 8/25/23 we are submitting (as in I'm doing it myself) the paperwork to close out the last permit more than a year later.
-In the end the PM/Owner decided they could not do a portion of the contract (French drains and yard regrade & resod) they agreed to and refunded that portion. We happily agreed as well.
-We were lied to over and over throughout the process, overt small lies to cover up ignorance and then big whoppers. I don't do lies or liars. I tolerated it for a bit and then I didn't and my husband took over communications to keep the peace. But for anyone from Cornerstone reading, honesty goes so much further.
2) The company didn't have relationships with subcontractors and used subpar labor for which they were testing on my project.
-Every aspect of the job (except the foundation which is now chipping away) had to be redone 2+ times (up to 4 that I can remember)
-There was an attempt to not get a plumbing permit to avoid using the more expensive labor required to run the gas line. After rerunning that line 3 times and getting the permit anyway I'm sure the cost more than caught up though.
3) The nature of our contract originally meant that we had paid for the covered patio before it was complete. From the point it was paid in January we became last priority. You can see on their FB page "Wrapping up another beautiful Patio Job"... 1/3/23... how in the world that takes another 7.5 months, I'm sure would baffle all of you as well.

Good luck in your search, this is not it.
