The CornerStone Difference

A trusted and local new home builder with the ability to personally meet you, answer your questions, make changes to your floor plan and provide you with valuable years of experience... that's just a few of the CornerStone Homes differences.

From the ground up, before your home is even constructed, you will meet with your onsite home counselor and Mark Downing, owner and Managing Partner with over 30 years experience in home building. In a friendly, professional atmosphere, together you will review your blue prints, discuss the construction stages, get answers to important questions and learn what you can expect when building with CornerStone Homes.

CornerStone floor plans showcase distinctive new home architectural styles, open spaces and energy efficient features including Low-E windows, GE Energy Star appliances, and environmentally friendly materials. The floor plans also feature many versatile options for home buyers who wish to customize the floor plan and personalize the home to best suit their lifestyle.
Our Personal Onsite Home Builder Program is among the top 10 percent in the country. With outstanding satisfaction results, as proven in our annual third-party surveys, CornerStone Homes makes customer service a priority, not a talking point.

Equally important to our employees and Trade Partners is giving back in community service. From funding to organizing and volunteering, CornerStone Homes staff and partners have been a part of numerous local charities, including Give Hope a Home with the Donna Deegan Breast Cancer Foundation, Daniel Memorial Orphanage, Builder's Care, First Coast CrimeStoppers, High School Athletics Departments, Habitat for Humanity, Womenade, Toys for Tots, and the Youth Crisis Center.
