The People Behind Every Cornerstone Project

Tom McAuliffe — Owner

Tom owns Cornerstone and oversees production, scheduling, and quality control. Clients describe Tom as relaxed and low-pressure with a flexible can-do attitude — known for solving problems before they become problems.

Blake Smith — VP of Sales

Blake leads new client relationships at Cornerstone, guiding homeowners and design partners through scoping, estimating, and bringing a project from idea to signed plan. Architects and designers across the DC Metro area have worked with Blake for over a decade.

Tim — Production Manager

Tim runs the production side of Cornerstone’s work — turning plans into a schedule, the schedule into a working site, and the working site into a finished project. Clients regularly mention Tim by name in reviews for daily communication, photo updates, and a quietly thorough way of staying on top of every detail.

David Mervine — Project Manager

David manages projects day-to-day for our clients — coordinating crews, vendors, and trades while keeping homeowners informed every step of the way. He brings the attention to detail and respect for your home that our team is known for.
