Extremely professional but also added that friendly charm that made everyone feel comfortable. They explained everything in great detail and always were willing to listen and answer each and every question our family had about the project. Very well organized, knowledgable and ON-TIME. They absolutely take the customer is king approach and the workmanship and contractors used on the project were all top notch. I highly recommend Cornerstone for your next remodel project! **★★★★★ — Nick B. - bedroom/bathroom addition and deck, March 2026** > We worked with Cornerstone Remodeling to reconfigure an under-utilized space in hour home, adding a guest room with full bath, and adding a deck off our dining room. Throughout the process, communication from the team was clear. They were responsive to our questions and we always knew what work was taking place and when it was going to happen. We are extremely happy with the final results and are already thinking of the next project that we can partner with Ken, Perry and the Cornerstone team on. **★★★★★ — Michelle Fetherston, Jan. 2026** > Everyone at Cornerstone was fantastic to work with. We had great support choosing materials, regular communication on the schedule, and everything was done well and on time. Most importantly, we love our new kitchen and will gladly work with Cornerstone again on any future house projects! **★★★★★ — Chris and Francie Schanz, Dec. 2025** > 5 Stars is not high enough for Cornerstone Remodeling, can we double that? The Cornerstone team helped us revamp our kitchen, dining room and living room areas. Every step in the process from the first phone call that we made to Perry, to the last handshake thanking them for a job well done was flawless from our perspective. Flawless and as professional as it gets. We could not be happier with the finished product and the results are truly life changing. We could not have been happier with how the experience went, and that includes everyone that worked on the project. Perry, is fantastic at coordinating and providing a sense of comfort in what can be a very stressful experience. Ken and team, truly wonderful at communicating what was going to happen on any given day or week and executing the plan. Every person that worked on the project was polite, on time and professional. We want to give a huge shout out to Bob. We enjoyed our conversations with Bob, his friendly and humorous demeanor and getting to see him on a lot of mornings during the project. We have so much appreciation for the work that Bob did in our kitchen and the skill that he has is second to none. We will add that the entire project remained on schedule and on the original established budget. Thank you Cornerstone Remodeling, for everything. **★★★★★ — HU-119194647, Aug. 2025** > Our experience with Cornerstone Remodeling has been outstanding! From the first day that we met Perry to discuss our kitchen & living space remodel ideas to the time we provided our final payment on a job well done. We had an immediate connection with Perry and we so appreciated his design expertise, organization, communication and honesty from start to finish. We also loved working with Ken, Bob and John throughout the project. Their attention to detail, craftmanship and willingness to go above and beyond did not go unnoticed. The courtesy, quality and dedication from all of the employees and contractors that worked on our kitchen remodel exceeded our expectations. The project was completed on time and on budget. We absolutely love our new kitchen, dining room & living space and look forward to working with Cornerstone Remodeling again in the near future on our next project. **★★★★★ — Jennifer Starich, Dec. 2024** > We hired Cornerstone Remodeling for our fairly large remodeling project. Cornerstone came highly recommended by our neighbor who is quite knowledgeable in the building trades. We didn't know a project could go smoothly until we met Ken and his highly competent team. They were always available and responded to every message or call, they were very professional, and we love the final product. **★★★★★ — Daniel Krahn, Oct. 2024** > We are honored to add our names to the list of impeccable reviews for Cornerstone! Truly, this experience could not have gone better for our family. We are so grateful for Ken, Perry, John, Bob, and the rest of the team. They transformed our home into something we never thought possible; the results are stunning. I have never worked with a group of people that were more honest, fair, open, friendly, and committed to their craft. The work was done exactly on schedule, we were were always informed about progress and next steps, and there were no surprises along the way. Honestly it was sad to see them go, and we are already thinking about a phase 2 project. If you reading this and are considering which firm is the best fit, the answer is Cornerstone. Thank you again! **★★★★★ — Spencer & Christine Smith, Sept. 2024** > This past spring we had the pleasure of having Cornerstone Remodeling, Ltd remodel our condo master bathroom. > We were extremely happy with the entire process from the planning stages and selection of products to the > completion of the project.

The price as well as the professionalism and the attention to detail was second to none. They treated my home as if it was their own. Schedules were made and followed to a tee. > From ruff in, to drywall, to plumbing, and flooring, all the fixtures were there and no waiting for any of the products to arrive all were on site and perfectly executed I would not hesitate to call on them again for any of my projects in the future **★★★★★ — Faith O'Tool, May 2024** > Ken and his team go above and beyond to make your vision to come to life. They carefully reviewed all needs of the project so we had a clear timeline and budget going in. They were able to hit both of those targets. Everyone who came into our home were professional and worked together to make sure their part was complete so the next team to come do their work. I cannot say enough about the communication throughout, the design expertise and the finished product. We love the work Cornerstone did and will definitely work with them in the future. I highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Paul Bowser, Oct. 2023** > We purchased a property with tremendous potential based on land and location, fully knowing the internal needed updated and restructured. After multiple interviews and proposals, through a mutual friend I was introduced to Cornerstone. From the first introductory meeting I was impressed by the listening skills, understanding of our goals and focus to detail. Working with Perry and his process, the design, materials selection and planning phase became an absolute joy. The build portion of the project included the most professional and skilled workers I have ever met. The exceptional clean up every night, the continued pursuit of timelines, deadlines and progress was top of mind. I’ve never been around or worked with a group of more caring, kind and patient craftsman who truly wanted nothing more than our family to be happy through each step of the remodel. > > It’s hard for me to explain how thankful we are to have met, worked and completed the project on our home with the Cornerstone team. We are so proud of our investment and would not have changed one aspect of the project from the beginning to the end. I personally feel we not only have a wonderful new home to enjoy ourselves and share with others, but we now have new friends for life. > > I want to thank the entire crew - Ken, Perry, John, Bob, Joe and all of their staff who work tirelessly to make the dreams of homeowners become reality. You all absolutely crushed this remodel. > > Thank you again, I can only recommend this group with the highest regard. ## Selected projects - [New Berlin Residence - Updated Handrail](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-berlin-residence-updated-handrail-pj-vj~7787543) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 49 - [Milwaukee Residence - Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/milwaukee-residence-master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~7774323) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 44 - [Sussex Residence II - Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sussex-residence-ii-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7747579) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 65 - [New Berlin Residence - Kitchen and Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-berlin-residence-kitchen-and-master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~7736799) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 98 - [Bayside Residence - Kitchen & Laundry Room Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bayside-residence-kitchen-and-laundry-room-remodel-pj-vj~7732165) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 86 - [New Berlin Residence - First Floor Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-berlin-residence-first-floor-remodel-pj-vj~7710045) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 97 - [Hartland Residence - First Floor Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hartland-residence-first-floor-remodel-pj-vj~7627727) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 117 - [Brookfield Residence - First Floor Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brookfield-residence-first-floor-remodel-pj-vj~7610539) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 82 - [Brookfield Residence - Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brookfield-residence-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7580748) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 95 - [Wauwatosa Residence 2 - First Floor Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wauwatosa-residence-2-first-floor-remodel-pj-vj~7559194) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 72 - [Wauwatosa Residence - First Floor Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wauwatosa-residence-first-floor-remodel-pj-vj~7552623) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 85 - [Erin Residence - First Floor Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/erin-residence-first-floor-remodel-pj-vj~7310517) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 135 - [Muskego Residence - Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/muskego-residence-master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~7095532) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 49 - [Sussex Residence - Kitchen and Laundry Room Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sussex-residence-kitchen-and-laundry-room-remodel-pj-vj~7090553) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 67 - [Greendale Residence - Master and Main Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/greendale-residence-master-and-main-bath-remodel-pj-vj~7094143) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 94 - [Muskego Residence - First Floor Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/muskego-residence-first-floor-remodel-pj-vj~7079297) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 96 - [Bayside Residence - Master Bath Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bayside-residence-master-bath-remodel-pj-vj~7084732) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 65 - [Sussex Residence - Lower Level Wine Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sussex-residence-lower-level-wine-room-pj-vj~6807316) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 45 - [Lisbon Residence - Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lisbon-residence-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~6807310) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 48 - [Lannon Residence 2 - Finished Lower Level](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lannon-residence-2-finished-lower-level-pj-vj~6798727) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 55 [See all 41 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/general-contractors/cornerstone-remodeling-ltd-pfvwus-pf~2048793886) ## Video - [Company video](https://player.vimeo.com/external/879494108.m3u8?s=dad9a8d796eb0761b3a05fec48931d469c7b1e9e&oauth2_token_id=1384357804) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Are you licensed and insured?** As licensed kitchen and bath remodelers, we are fully licensed to operate in Wisconsin.
