Guess what I did not purchase a house however the contractor and the workers keep parking where they should not. They block the road and it is a dead end road. And one of the houses, the person building the frame was 10ft over the property lines and way over into the gentlemans property who sold 2 lots to Cornerstone. If the orginal owner had not noticed this, the house would have enroched on his property. I am being very clear here, apprently the builders do not have common sense to look at the survey marks and the metal hooks that go into the ground first. read more

We recently moved into our new home. The house itself is adequate so far, but here is the issue I have with their business practices. They worked with Windermere Real Estate to market and sell the homes in our neighborhood. One of our specific questions was how many of these homes would be rental houses and they said about 20%. Shortly after moving in, it became apparent that most of the homes in our development were rentals (about 75%). This has created numerous problems...poor yard maintenance, garbage overflowing because of excessive adults living in the homes and parking nightmares. A few of the homes have 5-6 vehicles. One homeowner is renting his house as a duplex and has two families living there, a serious zoning violation. Cornerstone has named its company to imply that they operate with good moral and ethical (Christian) standards. The dishonesty we experienced when making this purchase was anything but ethical. They are not trustworthy business people. read more

Do not believe all their claims of being a top builder, this company and the homes they produce have reached rock bottom status. If you do choose to purchase from this company as they are the only homes left to purchase, I strongly advice you to get as many inspections done as possible and do not let anything slide. Once you have purchased, the warranty department is admissible and will use every excuse possible to avoid performing any kind of work that is necessary. I am not sure if its just the conditions right now, but it seems like this company has chosen to cut corners in every facet of the home construction. Its not about what's best or even what's decent, it's choosing items and contractors that are the lowest cost and available. Know what you are getting. Actually, don't get it at all. Run away.

Cheap builds, mold issues, windows leaking, cabinets cracking, paint practically disintegrates off wall with the slightest touch, workers used non flushable wipes and damaged pipes before moving in, all damages noted on walkthrough were ignored, house is not level and we were told by their repair guy who came out months after moving in to complete repairs that were noted on the walkthrough that "if anything we could pour new footings, but it's just settling." We've tried 8 different levels and they are all showing the ceilings and cabinets on all three floors as vastly off level. I think worst of all is trying to communicate with their warrant team. It's like pulling teeth and if you try to be nice nothing gets done, they force you to be kind of demanding to get any response and then try to make you feel like they're not at fault. It's like been gaslit from a warranty team because what option do you have? They know you're at their mercy. read more

BEWARE of Cornerstone Homes!!! They built our home in November 2017 & we have had a catastrophic plumbing failure in our basement. Cornerstone Homes installed a NOT UP TO CODE sewer drain line in our home. We are looking at THOUSANDS of dollars worth of repairs. I have contacted them twice & they have DONE NOTHING to help us. Most likely will be pursuing legal action against them. read more

We purchased a home in August. We've had some warranty issues and absolutely nothing has been done after multiple correspondence with warranty. The lady's name is Rachel. Absolutely terrible.. read more

BE CAREFUL WITH CORNERSTONE Very disappointing construction. Problems everywhere. I would give NEGATIVE 5 stars. Very rude and totally ignored fairness in dealing. JP (probably owner?) shut down any discussion on property line when clearly the lines are not straight nor equally spaced. read more

I thought I was getting a good value, but even in the first year, all "Warranty" claims were deflected and "not covered" then after the year was up the house started falling a part and now they won't address any of it, even when I found a hole in my subfloor, clearly a structural building element failing all I get is " you are past your 1 year warranty" I am going to have to put a lot of lipstick on this pig when I can afford to move. read more

We were an inch away from closing on one of the homes built by this company. We truly dodged a bullet. From outside, our first time home buying goggles showed us a perfectly built home. Once inside, small imperfections began to show itself (nails sticking out of shelves, faux drawers in bathrooms coming off, plumber's tape in crucial places, etc.) Despite the home being a new construction, the inspection overwhelmed us. The inspector informed us that the builders cut a lot of corners and used cheaply constructed materials to build the home. He told us that the home barely passed the building code. There were apparent erosions in the backyard due to shoddy construction and we realized this home was a total lemon. I realize that these people need to make a profit but how can they build something so low on the quality spectrum and put their name on it? Horrible. To top things off, these people denied to release our earnest money even through we were protected by the financial contingency in our contract. We almost had to go to court before we made a settlement. Total crooks. I hope that Karma will serve these despicable people. read more

So we bought our house 4 years ago and have had problems since day 1. Some fixed some not. Our biggest concerns are the vents in the new house when we bought it got smashed during the build and now in our master bath there is mold growing on the walls. We spent $20k in upgrades only to get cheap stuff installed as "upgrade" material. Our back yard is a swamp because they didn't put in proper drainage and when asked about it they told us it's on us cause it's 10 feet away from the house read more

We bought our home from Cornerstone a year ago and have loved living here. The neighborhood is nice and the location is great. We had a couple of warranty issues a few months back which we reported and were resolved very quickly by the warranty department. We're very happy with our home and Cornerstone. read more

Cornerstone recently did work on our home, and we've been really happy with it. While working on the home, they were careful to listen specifically what we wanted, and what more they could do to make sure their work fit our expectations. Everyone who comes by remarks on how well the home looks, and notice the work Cornerstone did. I mean it- just about everyone who comes by to visit notices the work and remarks about how well done it is. read more

A good analogy one of my neighbors has used is "gingerbread houses". They look great for about 3 months then everything starts to degrade pretty rapidly. Case in point 3 months after moving in our "new" carpet looks and feels worse than the 20 year old carpet in our last place. They do have new home warranties, but good luck with that. Beyond tweaking loose screws here an there it takes 3, 6, 9+ months to get them to fix anything. At 12 months the warranty servicing is handed over to a company out of Texas, so who the heck know when they will fix anything. We can't recommend them in good conscience in part because they left a 10" hole in our basement floor, laid carpet over it, and then spent 4 months telling us "basements are naturally moist" while the $10,000 trim we bought, carpet and bathroom cabinet molded. Even after I got a dehumidifier and reported to them dumping 5+ gallons a day (during the summer no less) all we were told was, "we'll look into it." I had to rip up the carpet myself to uncover it and only then would they acknowledge there was a problem. Of course not before we ended up with huge cracks all over the slab that also needed patching (and was only partially done). They still dispute the nature of the problem, the solution and we've had to spend (so far) and additional $2000 in moving and inspection costs. Our 2 car garage is now a defacto storage locker for the stuff that was in our basement and we're being threatened with parking tickets and towing for parking one of our cars on the street. Our basement just got new carpet- more than 3 months after the initial problem was reported via the warranty instructions. They still haven't done any of the additional moisture testing work THEY agreed to do nearly 4 months later. You'll likely have one problem after another if you buy from Cornerstone. They build homes in 90 days, but can't seem to fix problems in under 120 days. They've also changed their contracts so that your earnest money is $1, but want 100% non-refundable deposits for any "upgrades" you want. Their way of forcing you to put up with their defective construction or risk losing thousands of dollars. read more

Even though there was issues with workmanship, the overall experience was positive because majority of my concerns were addressed so I am updating the rating. read more

We recently purchased a 2yr old Cornerstone Home in Lake Stevens and couldn't be happier. All the people in the development we've talked to during the buying process and after closing love the home and community. Our inspection went perfect too. Our inspector basically said "I can't find anything wrong here other than a few things I would have done differently" - I've just now seen some of these negative reviews, so we'll be watching the home's quality while we're here, but we're excited and so far all is well. read more

It takes a lot for a company to make me put a bad review about them. But this is the way Cornerstone Homes has decided to move forward. Cornerstone Homes does not take responsibility over the damaged parts they are installing. I have provided all the possible evidence that shows clearly that they are the ones installing a damaged window frame but they are blaming me for the damage. I have evidence showing the window was damaged before I even moved into my "Brand new home", but still they are blaming me. This is not acceptable and I would like for everyone to be aware of this company's dishonesty. How can a company install a damaged part and tell the homeowner that they are responsible to fix it? This is a major issue that homeowners need to be aware of. How can I trust them when they deny responsibility over something so obvious? It's a shame that it has come to this. This company does not deserve those great employees who have come over and tried to fix the company's poor workmanship. Hopefully, Cornerstone Homes will take this issue seriously and start taking responsibility over their poor workmanship instead of blaming the Homeowner. read more

We purchased a Cornerstone home in 2008. This was a relatively "upscale" (for them) development they did in the Kenmore/Kirkland area, looked great superficially. We found as others had that their contractors cut lots of corners. At our one year warranty follow-up, they took note of our list of to-do's and never came back to fix anything. Every home in the development was dealing with some issue within a couple years including one homeowner who had major dry rot issues, one had a bathroom leak which required the floor be replaced, exterior paint was flaking off, our front patio began to sink away from the foundation, concrete slabs poured up against siding (violating manufacturers warranty but somehow passing city inspection), roof leaks, not to mention we routinely found strips of nails buried in our flower bed (rusty by that point). We got out last year before the true "quality of workmanship" began to show. I wouldn't recommend their homes. read more
