Originally from upstate New York, Chris along with his wife and kids moved to the Shenandoah Valley area in 2002. He continued to work in construction as he had done in NY until he founded Cornerstone Construction in 2004. Chris passed on his passion for carpentry and stone masonry to his sons who began helping out with labor until they got enough experience to help manage operations.
The McMahon’s pay special attention to every brick they lay, especially the cornerstone, as this stone is the is the stone that forms the base of a foundation. Two of the McMahon sons now have part ownership in the company and continue build with care and passion.”Â

A Few of Our Projects
“Cornerstone Construction delivered a beautiful sunroom addition with a fantastic experience. The communication was excellent—at various times we worked with Chris, Sam, and Nick. Information passed among them without my seeing it; whoever was here knew what was going on, did the work that was promised, and kept me apprised of next steps.
All of the staff were extremely respectful and helpful. They are truly a pleasure to work with!”
Nan Grambo, Linden VA
“We were thrilled with both the design and the craftsmanship of the project of finishing our basement which Cornerstone completed for us. It turned out beautiful and functional for our needs. Marty and his team were considerate of our kids and their interest in the project and communicated their schedule and progress to us regularly. We will definitely be using Cornerstone Construction for our future home renovation needs! ” -Luke and Kristin Fier
“We hired Cornerstone Construction to build a large addition on our home which included a new kitchen bump out, added a master bathroom and second new bathroom along with mudroom suite at the front of the house. Marty, sam and chris were very friendly to work with and did a great job on the renovation. Thanks so much.” – Noel Sweeney
“The McMahons and their team are consummate professionals. They give you a quote and stick to it, show up every day until the job is done (weather permitting) and provide top notch renovations or new build. We will use Cornerstone forever. There’s no one else we trust with our home.” – Chris Estes and Jenn Rigger (renovation of a kitchen and a master bath and build of a new deck.)
“Being active duty military for 28 years and with all of our travels, we found Cornerstone Construction most professional meeting our expectations in completing deck extension, back porch enclosure with fire place, and more. We recommend them highly.” – Captain and Mrs. Scott Cooper, Front Royal, VA
