- Arturo, Project Manger

“We absolutely LOVE the new flooring! Everyone was super to work with throughout the selection and planning process to the installation team who worked with our employees from early morning to late at night and through the weekend! Those guys moved monstrous filing cabinets and truckloads of furniture…all with a pleasant, can-do attitude!! Thank you all, it has been a pleasure doing business with Cornerstone!”

- Director of Administration & Operations, Louisiana Hospital Association

Cornerstone Commercial Flooring delivered outstanding customer service and product quality to Campus Crossings Lafayette during the property’s annual turnover. Jessie Hayes and Scott Shirley’s knowledge and professionalism were first-class. Replacing upwards of $70,000 in flooring over a three week span was no small task, but Cornerstone accepted the challenge and delivered on its promise of 100% satisfaction.

- Braedon Gary, Campus Crossings Apartments, Lafayette, LA

[The CF team] are very good at what they do. They were diligent and worked hard to meet the schedule we laid out. They were professional, polite and focused. I would definitely recommend [them] and not hesitate to have [them] work on any project we have.

- Jody Jagneaux, Optima Speciality Hospital

Their staff has been very helpful with the scheduling of carpet replacement for our apartment homes. I greatly appreciate the confirmations that come the day before installation. It gives us confidence that the installations will go smoothly. I would recommend using Cornerstone Commercial Flooring to anyone who is needing new flooring for their apartment homes.

- Lisa Bearden, Emberwood Apartments

Thanks guys, this has been a great experience. From start to finish the quality of service has been excellent. Your company as a group has offered small details in your customer services that definitely makes you all stand out. I know that good work sometimes goes unnoticed so I just wanted to pass along my gratitude.

The Cornerstone Story

Cornerstone Flooring Companies was founded in 2002 by Jim Lloyd, who saw a need for a flooring partner defined by reliability, craftsmanship, and care. What began with a folding table, a salvaged computer, and a leaky roof has grown into one of the Gulf South’s premier commercial flooring contractors—trusted by general contractors, architects, designers, and property managers across the region.

Our story is one of grit and growth. In 2016, Baton Rouge was devastated by historic flooding, and our team stood shoulder-to-shoulder with our community. By weathering that challenge together, we sharpened our focus on what matters most: people, partnerships, and the pursuit of excellence.

If what we do is not memorable, it’s wasted. The more I see the impact we can have on people’s lives, the more seriously I take this work. — Jim Lloyd, Founder

In 2025, we expanded our team’s reach through the acquisition of Craft Croswell, a respected industry leader since 1973. Together, we’ve united two companies with decades of experience, deep technical knowledge, and a shared commitment to excellence. This strength allows us to lead with unmatched expertise in our markets and bring greater value, efficiency, and confidence to our clients.

We approach every detail with the same intent: to “Develop People. Build Relationships. Enhance Environments.

For our clients, that means peace of mind. For us, it means living out the values that guide our work.
