"Good quality work."

"Ward Engineering began working with Jared of Cornerstone Home Designs approximately 3 years ago to perform residential design work using Chief Architect design software. I find Jared to be the most capable Chief Architect designer I have ever worked with. Jared is very efficient and thorough at developing the residential Chief Architect models. In addition to being competent, Jared makes himself available to provide personal 1-on-1 training over the internet, which has been a huge blessing to our company and clients."

"Very nice work"

"A BUNCH OF SCAMMERS BEWARE!!! LIAR AND THIEFS I’ve had nothing but bad experiences with this company NICK the one who promised me stuff on my set of blueprints the company never did and when I told them they never held up to their agreement I was supposed to get a full set of big prints now they want to charge me extra 500 to send them when I can get it way cheaper are you ridiculous I’ve all ready paid 7000 and that I never got quoted I was quoted 4000 and then they hit me an extra 3000 grand nothing but headaches and problems with them no communication or nothing and all I got was a bunch of lies and broken promises and never knew who I was gonna speak to the next time I called my project kept getting handed off I’m hoping when I take these to my county they don’t laugh at me AND IM TALKING TO A LAWYER"

"Joe and his team did an incredible job! I can’t believe how great our backyard looks and how functional it is. In less than 1.5 days, Joe’s team removed rocks and other debris, extended our garden beds, planted 14 arborvitae trees, some lilac bushes, and a flowering dogwood tree. They set up our raised gardening area, laid a weed barrier, grass barrier and bark so it is beautiful and functional. They also removed a small pool and pavers and replaced with sod. They also laid a drip line that is easily controlled by our existing sprinkler system. Joe was super easy to work with and very accommodating. He understood my vision and had great suggestions for design. Would definitely work with Joe again!"

"Kent was hired by my next door neighbors(both in their mid-80's) to replace a concrete retaining wall last summer. Prior to the job starting, Kent met with me with someone he introduced as his contracted landscaper. Since our property was downhill from the neighbors, Kent wanted to use our property to remove and replace the wall. He told me the heavy equipment he would have to use would tear up our lawn but that the landscaper would re-sod it. Eight of our stone flower boxes had to be removed to do the job-Kent also was to have his landscaper restore them as well. The demolition and removal of the old wall by crew #1 went fairly well. One of our 12 foot arborvitae did not survive; not sure if that was from crew #1 or #2. Crew #2 was responsible for building the new block wall. The wall was constructed crooked and the locking flange on many blocks was 2 to 3 inches from proper position to lock the blocks together. A good portion of the wall had to be taken down and the blocks placed in proper position. The wall was still crooked, but at least it was locked in place. The wall is supposed to be back filled with gravel-I'm not sure it ever was. But I did see a large amount of garbage (water bottles, the plastic wrap tying all the blocks on the pallets, etc) that probably does not help with drainage. In order to get the blocks back to the job site, a forklift was used. This chipped and broke the front of my driveway where it meets with the street. I wanted to talk to Kent about the damage to my property, but he had planned a 2 week vacation to the Caribbean. The crew boss called Kent on his phone and Kent then informed me that he did NOT have a landscaper but he would still take care of the lawn replacement. I found out that his planned repair of the lawn was to have one of his workers spray grass seed on the previous lawn without any preparation of the site, which was now my old, established lawn that was tore up by the heavy machinery covered with several inches of clay soil. When I told him that was not acceptable, he responded that his contract for this job was not with me but was with my neighbors. I refused to accept the hydroseeding. He did cut the driveway edge straight for me and replaced it with asphalt. Crew #1 was polite, efficient, and left the site clean. Crew #2 was also polite but other than the crew boss, seemed to be inexperienced and made multiple mistakes. Two of my large impact sprinklers were left covered with a foot of soil, an 8 foot section of pipe and a riser and sprinkler was cut off and left laying next to the wall without capping the pipe off-it was later reattached by the neighbor's son. Our house water hose was used by them without permission and the hose was left out strewn across the job site. The neighbors driveway was asphalted with a gutter placed next to the wall. There was a gap between the gutter and the asphalt driveway so water has been draining underneath the gutter rather than into it. So now the asphalt is all collapsing and will soon make the driveway unusable. Now there will need to be additional construction to repair that issue along the approximately 100 foot driveway. Sorry I'm not savvy enough with my phone to be able to attach any of my photos to this review. The neighbor's have been trying to resolve the issues with Kent but to no avail-he has taken payment ($55,000.00!) from them so he is done. And of course he is done with me as well. Never again will I allow anyone to 'use' and destroy my property to make a profit without a separate contract of my own. I would not recommend this business to anyone, ever."

"Do not buy a Kodiak home. My floor plan was wrong. They didn't send me my insulation and have been trying to get a refund for 2 years. They also charged me 15% more after the plans went to manufacturing. This has been a nightmare to say it mildly. There are other steel frame home companies out there."
