By 2001 it had grown to a full-time occupation for Nate with one part-time employee. In January 2003, Nate took on Aaron Shaul as his full-time business partner.
Today Cornerstone Remodeling has grown to a full-service home improvement company capable of handling a myriad of remodeling projects.

Shortly after, he met his amazing wife Kelly. They have twin boys, Clay and Levi, a lovely daughter, Avery, and entertaining Judah. Nate enjoys photography, sports, fishing and spending time with his family. Nate and Kelly are active in their church and community.

Aaron Shaul
Partner
Aaron was born and raised in the Omaha/Gretna area. A graduate of Gretna High School, he went on to Grace University in Omaha, where he played soccer and was very involved with campus leadership. He graduated with highest honors and a double major in Intercultural Studies and Bible.
After working for a local construction company building decks and doing remodeling for about a year and a half, he decided to partner with his good friend, Nathan McGranahan. Seeing a customer's joy with a beautiful, finished project drives him to work with creativity and diligence. He principally manages the office, provides customer service and oversees projects.
Aaron has a beautiful wife, Mary and five wonderful children: identical twin boys Elijah and Micah, fun-loving Isaac, beautiful Hope and silly Silas. They are very active in their local church, Brookside and their small group Bible study.
Testimonials
“Aaron and his team not only did an amazing job on our kitchen expansion-remodel, but they were a pleasure to work with every step of the way, from the initial planning all the way through construction.”
“We hired Cornerstone Remodeling to build a new bathroom in our 1910s home. I have nothing but great things to say about them. Everyone we worked with was punctilious, showed great care in and respect for our home, and built an amazing bathroom within budget and within the timeframe we discussed. They were an incredible team to work with and we are very happy with the results!”
“Cornerstone Remodeling did a wonderful job, and it was very much completed with Quality & Integrity! Their quality and technical ability was top notch.”
“Do you want a contractor that actually cares and works in your best interest (saves you from yourself)? Look no further. We worked with Aaron on both a kitchen design and new to us house modifications. Aaron and his team (Ron and Kyle) were professional and tidy. Worked with our schedules and got the projects done on time and excellent work. Hard to find trustworthy contractors now a days. No hesitations recommending Cornerstone!”
“Cornerstone Remodeling did a fantastic job on our new shower. The crew was very professional and made sure we had exactly what we asked for. They kept us informed every step of the way and we could be more pleased with how it turned out.”
FAQs
How do I plan for my remodel?
Items to consider:
- Determine what you really want in advance. What are your basic priorities and the goals for what you want your remodel to achieve? Write these items down on paper for future reference.
- Cut pictures from magazines and articles on remodeling. Find pictures online and bookmark or print them out. Make any notes or questions you have and about the various products and designs that you are potentially interested in.
- Determine a budget range. Your budget will ultimately decide what you can do and how you will go about doing it. How much do you want to spend?
- Consider how you will finance the project. Determine if you will pay cash, home improvement loan, home equity line of credit, re-finance, or take out a second mortgage.

How do I schedule a consultation with a remodeling expert?
You can request an appointment online, or call at 402-598-1410.
What are your rates?
Rates for our jobs vary due to the type of work being performed and the number of hours and materials needed (ex. - skilled trim work is a higher rate than drywall repair). When a project is smaller, it generally can be charged at our hourly rate. If a project is larger, we will be glad to provide a quote.
How do your rates compare with other companies?
We pride ourselves on doing a high quality job at a competitive price. We're probably not going to be the cheapest, but most likely not the most expensive contractor either. Our rates tend to fall somewhere in the middle - quality at a competitive price.
Do you provide consultations/estimates?
Cornerstone charges a $75 initial consultation/estimating fee, which is credited back to you when you hire us. This fee is happily waived for repeat customers.
What type of projects do you do?
Our scope of work includes everything from small home improvement projects to kitchens and bathrooms and decks, to basement finishes and additions. View our online gallery to see before and after photos and other completed projects.
What payment options do you offer?
Cornerstone accepts checks, cash, and major credit cards.
How long does it typically take for the work on my house to begin?
Schedules will vary by location and time of year so it's best to contact us for current information. When busy, we can be 2-4 months out from starting a new project.
Do you offer a warranty?
Yes. Cornerstone includes a 1-year warranty on the work performed. Besides that, most of the materials carry a substantial warranty themselves. We stand behind our quality workmanship on every project. We will be available at project completion and beyond to address any questions or concerns.
I've had unfriendly and incompetent workers in my house before. What is your company like?
We go to great lengths to be professional and friendly. We understand that undertaking a remodeling project in your home is disruptive to your schedule and life, so we try to contain our dust and mess as much as possible. You will find everyone who comes into your home to be respectful and helpful in answering your questions. We seek to keep the worksite as safe as possible and clean up after ourselves. All employees have excellent backgrounds and work with integrity. In fact, we have heard from many of our clients that they are sad to see us move on to another project.
Do you do commercial work?
Cornerstone is primarily a residential remodeling company, but we also work in various restaurants and offices around town.
