Our Origin Story
Some builders learn their trade in school. Solomon Vegh was born for it. Family legend has it that as a baby, he preferred sleeping with pliers in his hand instead of a pacifier – a sign of what was to come.
In 2003, Solomon started small with a handyman business. What he discovered shocked him: while clients craved quality work, the construction industry was failing them with corner-cutting and broken promises.
He knew there had to be a better way.
In 2017, Solomon launched Cornerstone Builders with a bold vision: to transform how construction is done in Rockland County. His blueprint for success was simple: total transparency with clients, uncompromising quality standards, and true partnerships, not just projects.
Today, Cornerstone stands as a full-service construction company, bringing together elite designers, architects, and builders under one roof. Every project we touch – from home renovations to commercial builds – carries Solomon’s original promise: exceptional craftsmanship backed by absolute integrity.
Your dream isn’t just another project to us. It’s our chance to prove that construction can be different.

Through exceptional craftsmanship, complete financial openness, and client education, we empower every client to be confident in their construction journey, from the smallest repair to the grandest custom home.
We don’t just want to meet industry standards. We’re here to set new ones.
Our Vision
To be the company that changes how America builds – where transparency isn’t just promised, it’s proven. We envision a construction industry where:
- Quality speaks louder than words.
- Trust is built before the first foundation.
- Every client is a partner, not just a project.
We’re creating a future where clients don’t just hope for excellence – they expect it. Where understanding your build is as important as building it right. Where every decision is informed, every step is clear, and every project stands as proof that construction can be different.
Because we believed a fully informed client is an empowered client.
