One call covers the whole shell of your home. We *insulate* the attic, *hang* and *finish* the drywall, and *paint* it ready to live in.

FRAME 01 / 128
01 · Insulate

It starts with insulation.

Walls and rooflines get insulated before anything is covered up. Batts in the walls, blown-in fill up top.

02 · Hang

Hung straight. Fastened right.

Board hung tight to the frame with proper fastener spacing, so the finish has something solid to sit on.

03 · Tape

Taped to the level you need.

Level 1 through Level 5, including full skim coats for gloss paint and hard, raking light.

04 · Paint

Painted, inside and out.

Interior and exterior paint to close out the job, with one crew accountable from start to finish.

Attic insulation · Before

Your attic is an oven.

On a summer afternoon an attic can pass 140°F. With a thin, packed-down layer of old insulation, that heat pushes through the ceiling into the rooms below.

Blown-in insulation

We blow in a fresh, even blanket.

Loose-fill goes in through the attic hatch by hose from the truck. It settles around joists, wiring and corners where batts leave gaps, up to R-38 or more.

After

The heat stops at the ceiling.

The attic still gets hot. The new blanket keeps that heat up there, so rooms hold their temperature and the AC runs less.

The payoff

Cooler rooms. Lower bills.

About Cornerstone

Rooted in the SGV.
Built for all of SoCal.

A family-run crew for insulation, drywall, finishing and paint. One call covers the whole shell of your home.

Our story

A family crew that grew up in the trade.

Cornerstone Building Co. is a family-run crew based in the San Gabriel Valley and led by Lewis Ramirez.

We came up in drywall and finishing, working alongside family on new builds, remodels, ADUs and repairs across Southern California. Taping and finishing is the part of the job people see every day, so we learned to take it seriously.

Along the way we started working with utility-sponsored energy programs and kept seeing the same thing in house after house: attics with a few inches of flattened insulation, and rooms that never cooled down. So we built Cornerstone to handle the whole shell in one call: insulation, drywall, finishing and paint.

We keep it simple. Show up when we say we will, put the price in writing, protect your home while we work, and walk the finished job with you before we call it done.

Questions

Good to know.

Is attic insulation really free?

Yes, if you qualify. Through utility programs, attic insulation is installed at no cost for qualifying SoCalGas and SCE customers. Eligibility is set by the program, so call us at (323) 736-9443 and we'll check whether your home qualifies before anything is scheduled.

How long does an attic install take?

Most attic installs are done in a day. We run the hose in through the attic hatch, so there's no work inside your living space beyond protecting the path to the hatch.

Do you take small drywall jobs?

Yes. Patches, water-damage repairs and texture matching are all welcome, along with full hangs on new builds, additions and ADUs.

Will I get a written quote?

Always. Scope, finish level, materials and price are in writing before any work starts.

What areas do you cover?

We're based in the San Gabriel Valley and work all over Southern California, including LA, the Inland Empire and Orange County.
