The Story Behind Cornerstone

KEVIN AND COREy

Two generations. One foundation.
Cornerstone Construction is shaped by a father-and-son legacy of building, service, faith, and craftsmanship—experience that began on Alabama's Gulf Coast and continues today in the communities of North Alabama.

KEVIN NOE

PRESIDENT

Kevin is President and Co-Owner of Cornerstone Construction. Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, he started his first business in 1983, beginning more than four decades of business ownership and construction experience.

Kevin and his wife, Angela, later moved their family to the Gulf Coast, where they spent 14 years building custom homes and commercial projects. It was there that their son Corey began learning the construction industry alongside his father, gaining hands-on experience while still in high school. Building in the demanding coastal environment helped shape an approach to construction centered on quality, durability, and doing things the right way.

Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Kevin and Angela decided it was time to return to North Alabama and eventually made the Smith Lake area their permanent home. Years later, Corey and his family would make the same move, bringing two generations of building experience together in the place they now call home.

Kevin and Angela raised four children and are now proud grandparents to a growing family. Outside of work, Kevin enjoys life on the lake—boating, surfing, and skiing—as well as hunting and fishing.

At the center of Kevin’s life and leadership is his faith. He strives to keep God as the cornerstone of his life and to conduct business with the values that have guided him personally and professionally: honesty, integrity, and treating people right.

CEO

Corey is CEO and Co-Owner of Cornerstone Construction and represents the next generation of a family rooted in the building industry. He began working in construction while still in high school, building homes alongside his father on the Alabama Gulf Coast and developing an appreciation for craftsmanship from an early age.

While continuing to work in construction, Corey spent ten years serving with Gulf Shores Fire & Rescue as a Firefighter/Paramedic. During that time, he also owned and operated Cornerstone Construction of Gulf Shores, successfully remodeling condominiums and building homes throughout the Gulf Coast area.

After a decade of building both a career and a business on the coast, Corey and his wife, Rebecca, felt called to begin a new chapter. Together with their four children, they moved to Arley and made the Smith Lake area home.

Today, Corey leads Cornerstone Construction as CEO, carrying forward the experience and principles that began with his father while continuing to shape the company for the next generation. His focus remains on building exceptional homes, preserving the art of craftsmanship, and maintaining a standard of construction meant to endure.

His commitment to faith and service extends beyond Cornerstone. Corey serves as a deacon at Meek Baptist Church and volunteers with the Arley and Helicon fire departments, remaining actively involved in the community he and his family call home.
