When a Fishers homeowner needed basement drywall repaired after water damage, the Cornerstone crew not only fixed the damage but matched the existing texture so precisely the homeowner called the results "flawless." This attention to detail defines how Mike Byers has run Cornerstone Painting & Drywall since founding the company in 2005.
Mike handles estimates and client communication while wife Karen manages scheduling and operations. The company specializes in interior and exterior residential painting, drywall installation and repair, texture and popcorn ceiling removal, and wood rot repair. Their crews, including lead painters Raul, Josh, and Will, maintain consistent quality across projects ranging from single-room refreshes to complete home transformations.
The fully insured team serves Hamilton County communities including Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Westfield, and Zionsville, along with North Indianapolis neighborhoods like Broad Ripple, Castleton, and Meridian-Kessler. Cornerstone is a proud partner with Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore and has earned Angi Super Service Awards and Best of Houzz recognition.
