Where It All Began

My career in construction started when I was 10 years old. My father was a builder who began as a brick layer, and over summers and weekends, my older brother and I would carry and stock block and brick for him. That's when I learned how to work hard and persevere.

After several years as a mason, my father Harry L. Smith started his own construction company in 1971. He began with small custom homes and remodeling work — and we built entire houses from the ground up, doing everything from excavation to interior trim. That well-rounded foundation shaped everything I know today.

A Growing Reputation

By the early 1990s, Harry L. Smith & Sons had grown to over 20 employees, building up to 15 homes per year. We built a strong reputation for honesty and attention to detail that set us apart in the Harrisburg area.

It was during this time that I developed my passion as a finish carpenter — focusing on custom built-in furniture and trim work. Harry L. Smith & Sons went on to win multiple Home Arama and Pyramid awards.

Cornerstone Is Founded

After my father retired in the early 2000s, I established Cornerstone Custom Builders, Inc. in 2004. My attention to detail and commitment to quality continue no matter what size project I have the privilege to be a part of.

In a world where words seem to mean less and trust is fleeting, I am committed to providing the highest quality workmanship with the ultimate goal of building long-lasting relationships with my customers. My goal is not to build the largest or most homes — it is to focus on each customer's unique wishes and provide them with a home of uncommon detail.

I believe God has blessed me with certain abilities beyond construction that have allowed me to build many long-lasting friendships in Central Pennsylvania. If you are looking for a company committed to faith in God, family, honesty, and superior craftsmanship — I would love the opportunity to talk with you.
