I was out of town this past weekend so I did not have my usual weekend visit. I really needed to go anyway because I will not be able to attend the first walk-through tomorrow because I do not want to take a valuable day off. The goal of my visit today is to take a thorough look around and make note of anything I feel needs to be addressed.
My gorgeous hardwood floors were uncovered so I FINALLY got to see them in all their glory. After seeing them all uncovered I am very happy with my flooring choice. It breaks up some of the beige and I think it will look really nice once I add more color. With the floors being uncovered, the house is 99% complete. The only thing left to do is correct things mentioned in the inspection report.
Drum roll please....
I honestly only found a handful of things, which were minor, that I would like addressed.

- I am still not happy with the touch up paint job done on the cabinet. Some contractor must have scratched the side near the double ovens while putting up tile.
- The floor transition from the foyer to the dining room (marble to hardwood) is a tad uneven.
- More info: Per Toll Brothers, they are the only builders who make sure that different types of flooring are even and therefore require no transitions (sample pictured below). If you look at my pictures above you will not see a perpendicular piece of wood demarcating the transition:

The wood is raised above the level of the marble a little - all other areas a fine
Your room is beautiful! The built in book shelves add so much to a home -you have them decorated so nicely.

Are you allowed to disclose the price Toll Bros. wanted to charge you for various upgrades? How long was the time frame to build your home?
ReplyDeleteI am currently having a home built by TB and I am one year into the process and still do not have dry wall. In addition, basic upgrades like adding a sink or a door is an astounding up charge in the range greater than 2K for each item.
