In 2006, Cornerstone Construction Group led a team of 3,000 volunteer trade workers as well as unskilled workers in a $1.2 million project for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.[1] The project built a 3,800-square-foot home,[2][3] fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, for Kristina Ripattie, an officer of the Los Angeles Police Department, who had been shot in the line of duty and paralyzed.[4][5]

In 2009 Cornerstone Construction Group worked to build the Cheryl Green Community Center to combat gang violence.[6] It was named after a 14-year-old girl who was killed allegedly because of her race.[7] The center was donated to the Boys & Girls Club Harbor Gateway/Torrance.

In 2010 Cornerstone Construction, with community partner Sharefest,[8] completed restoration of the Morell House, one of the few remaining historic Victorian homes remaining in Redondo Beach. The house received over $800,000 worth of repairs, including a new foundation, a new roof, and new plumbing and electrical work. Volunteers spent thousands of hours restoring the home, according to the Redondo Beach Historical Society.[9]

In 2011 Cornerstone Construction group partnered again with Sharefest and residents of San Pedro, California to install a scoreboard at the baseball and softball fields at the San Pedro High School.[10]
