Frequently Asked Questions About Our Installation-Only Services
These FAQs address common questions from general contractors, developers, and project managers regarding Korestone's cabinet installation and countertop installation services for commercial construction projects. Information focuses on installation-only service delivery, project scope requirements, and coordination frameworks that support multifamily, senior living, and hospitality projects across Ohio.
General Installation-Only Questions
What does installation-only mean?
Installation-only means Korestone installs cabinets and countertops that general contractors, developers, or ownership groups specify and source through their own vendor relationships. Korestone does not sell materials, participate in material procurement, or influence product selection decisions. This clear scope boundary eliminates conflicts that arise when contractors attempt to control material sales alongside installation execution.
Do you sell cabinets or countertops?
No. Korestone does not sell cabinets, countertops, or any construction materials. Our scope covers installation execution only, allowing general contractors and developers to maintain control over material sourcing, vendor relationships, and procurement decisions without contractor interference.
Do you provide design services?
No. Korestone does not provide design services, space planning, or material selection guidance. Design decisions remain with ownership groups, developers, and their chosen design professionals. Installation contractors who offer design services create accountability conflicts that Korestone avoids through clear service boundaries.
Do you act as a general contractor?
No. Korestone operates as an installation subcontractor within general contractor coordination structures. We do not perform general contracting functions, manage full construction projects, or coordinate other trades. Project management and trade coordination remain general contractor responsibilities where commercial construction accountability structures require them.

Project Scope and Requirements
What types of projects do you work on?
Korestone specializes in commercial construction projects including multifamily residential developments, senior living facilities, and hospitality properties such as hotels. Our installation services support new construction and renovation projects within these commercial categories. Project types typically involve multiple units or rooms requiring coordinated installation execution at scale.
Do you work on residential projects?
No. Korestone focuses exclusively on commercial construction projects. We do not perform work on single-family homes, residential remodels, or other residential applications. Commercial construction requires different coordination structures, scheduling frameworks, and accountability relationships than residential work supports.
Is there a minimum project size?
Korestone focuses on commercial projects where scale, coordination requirements, and professional contracting structures align with installation-only service delivery. Small-scale projects without these characteristics typically fall outside operational focus areas. Project evaluation considers scope complexity and coordination requirements alongside physical size.
Can you handle phased or multi-building projects?
Yes. Korestone supports phased installation execution and multi-building coordination common in large multifamily developments and senior living campuses. Phased scheduling aligns with general contractor timelines and supports sequential building delivery requirements without crew availability disruptions.
Cabinet and Countertop Installation
Do you install both cabinets and countertops?
Yes. Korestone provides both cabinet installation and countertop installation services, often coordinated on the same projects to streamline execution and reduce general contractor coordination complexity. Combined installation services support efficient scheduling and maintain consistent quality standards across related finish work.
Can you install cabinets or countertops only?
Yes. Korestone can execute cabinet installation or countertop installation as separate scopes depending on project requirements and general contractor coordination preferences. Standalone installation services work well when general contractors coordinate separate material suppliers or when project phasing separates cabinet and countertop work.
Do you coordinate with other trades?
Yes. Korestone coordinates with other trades as part of general contractor scheduling and sequencing structures. Installation crews work within established coordination frameworks that general contractors manage, maintaining communication on dependencies, site conditions, and schedule adjustments that affect cabinet and countertop installation execution.

How do you handle scheduling?
Korestone aligns installation scheduling with general contractor timelines, coordinating crew deployment to match project sequencing requirements and building delivery schedules. Schedule management includes coordination on material delivery timing, site readiness verification, and adjustment communication when project conditions change.
Do you provide manpower for large unit counts?
Yes. Korestone maintains crew capacity to support large-scale multifamily and senior living projects with substantial unit counts. Crew scaling matches project size and timeline requirements, maintaining installation pace that supports general contractor completion schedules without labor availability bottlenecks.
How do you handle punch list items?
Korestone addresses punch list items through responsive follow-up that supports project closeout timelines and final completion requirements. Punch list coordination integrates into general contractor processes, maintaining clear communication on item status, resolution timing, and final verification steps.
Service Areas
What areas do you serve?
Korestone maintains regional installation crews across Ohio as primary service areas. Projects typically fall within approximately a three-hour service radius from major metropolitan areas to support efficient response and coordination without excessive travel complications. Geographic focus balances service availability with execution quality that large commercial projects require.
Can you work on projects outside Ohio?
Korestone can evaluate projects in surrounding areas when installation scope and scheduling requirements align with operational capacity. Primary focus remains on Ohio markets where established crew presence and regional knowledge support consistent service delivery.

What information helps speed up pricing?
Project location, building type, unit or room counts, cabinet and countertop scope details, drawings or specifications, and target installation timelines provide the foundation for accurate pricing. Complete information reduces clarification requirements and supports bid development that reflects actual project conditions and coordination requirements.
Do you provide design-build pricing?
No. Korestone provides installation-only pricing based on materials that general contractors or developers specify. Design-build approaches combine design, material sales, and installation in ways that conflict with installation-only service boundaries that Korestone maintains.
