Where It All Started
Our Story
Started With a
Pickup Truck and
A Promise
In 1995, Mike Cornett started Corner Stone Construction & Roofing with two employees, a used pickup truck, and a simple belief: if you do honest work at a fair price and treat people right, the rest takes care of itself.
Twenty-nine years later, that belief still drives everything we do. We have grown from a two-man crew to a team of 30+ certified professionals, but the core has never changed. We are still family-owned, still Evansville-based, and still showing up to every job like it is the most important one we have ever done.
We have weathered Indiana's worst storm seasons, helped hundreds of homeowners navigate insurance claims, and built a reputation that we are genuinely proud of. Not because of the awards or the certifications — though we have earned plenty — but because of the neighbors who call us back when they need a new roof, and the referrals from customers who trusted us with their homes.
That is the Corner Stone story. And we are just getting started.
What We Stand For
Our Values
Honesty First
We tell you what your roof actually needs — not what makes us the most money. If a repair will do, we'll say so.
Your Home, Our Standard
We treat every house like it's our own. That means daily cleanup, careful landscaping protection, and zero shortcuts.
Evansville Is Home
We live here, our kids go to school here, and we're invested in this community. That's not marketing — it's just true.
We Show Up
On time, every time. If something changes, you hear from us first — not after you've been waiting all morning.
