When Tampa Bay natives Dana and James Spears decided to open a business in 2006, they chose air conditioning, an always needed service in the Florida climate.
“We felt there was a demand for an honest, reliable, customer service-orientated air conditioning business in the Tampa Bay area,” says Dana, who functions as Cornerstone’s business owner while husband James manages operations for the decade-old company.
But the couple wasn’t satisfied to stop with only air-conditioning and heating. Now going into the 11th year in business, Cornerstone has added both plumbing and electrical maintenance and repair to the list of services offered. The entrepreneurs added plumbing repair and service to the extensive menu three years ago and brought electrical services on board two years ago. “We are a one-stop location for all your major home and business systems,” notes Dana.
The growth and expansion of the Land O’ Lakes based business has provided nearly 60 jobs for local skilled technicians, with a fleet of 30 vehicles to serve the entire Tampa Bay area. Some of those jobs are staffed by Dana and James’ own family. “We are fully family owned and operated,” says Dana. “Eight family members spanning three generations work together to deliver guaranteed services and products to our clients.”
Additionally, this civic-minded couple gives back to the community, supporting local schools and charities annually while maintaining memberships in all local Chambers of Commerce.
Office hours are Monday – Friday from 8:00am until 6:00pm, and all calls are answered personally by a dedicated staff member. Same day service is typical. For emergencies and after hours, Cornerstone maintains a 24/7 hotline.
Cornerstone has scored the highest ratings on Angie’s List for the last 4 years along with the Bright House Business Award and a consistent A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
