Let’s chat about your project! Call us now at 410-336-7011
We help hundreds of homeowners each year, reimagine their spaces — whether it’s a major addition or renovating an existing space to better suit their family’s needs. Knowing where to start is often the most difficult part, that’s where our team comes in!
From your first call to the final approved design, our award-winning team guides every step of the design process. Construction then brings that vision to life—precisely and professionally—so it matches the standards we set from the start.
We’re not here to push your budget—we’re here to make the most of it. Our goal is to uncover the best value at every price point and guide you toward a renovation that fits your comfort zone and your vision.
Book a one-on-one video call with a Cornerstone design expert to talk through your goals and what you want to achieve in your space. In this conversation, we’ll help clarify your vision, define the scope, explore your style, discuss real project examples, and give you honest, experience-based budget guidance—plus answer any questions you have about working with us.
Once we’ve confirmed we’re a great fit, it’s time to dig deeper. We’ll schedule an in-home visit to gather measurements, discuss design priorities, and set the stage for the planning and proposal phase.
Take detailed and accurate measurements, lots of pictures, and plenty of notes regarding your “must haves” and “should haves”.
Collect any needed information/documentation regarding property lines, set backs, and existing structural elements.
We then take all of this back to the office and get to work! After being in your existing space, we will have an even better idea of how we can achieve your budget Comfort Zone. We provide 2D Space Planning ideas to help guide you in determining what is worth your investment.
Once a Comfort Zone is finalized, we will move forward with a full Proposal that outlines exactly what you can expect to spend. Selection materials will be highlighted as Allowances, so there is still flexibility in final pricing – but by now we have a good grasp on your style and desires for the space, so your Proposal pricing will reflect that!
Your designer works closely with you to fine-tune every detail—from layout edits to final finish selections. This is the phase where your vision takes full shape, and everything needed for construction is locked in.
A diagnostic in-home trip where we will cut holes and scope-out anything (if necessary) to ensure that your dream design will to come to life with no hiccups.
An in-depth design meeting to make any additional layout tweaks that you would like to explore.
