Hi guys, as previous owners with Mattamy I really need your help here,
I sent some questions to the DC consultant and got these replies (in red),
Can you please tell me if that's normal, and advise me what to do.
thanks
1- How much is deleting the knew wall and making rail instead? Can we do that on only one side (the one alongside the stairs)? Price depends on which handrail & picket you go with but to give you a base price if you stay with the standard, it’s $582 + $1,273 = $1,855 – no, we don’t recommend you only do one side
Which model did you buy? This is a pretty standard response. There are different options for the rails and pickets, some are more expensive, so the cost will depend on that.
2- How much to delete bulkheads in kitchen and living/dining area? (we are looking to have stacked cabinet, that's why) Unfortunately, I am unable to delete the bulkhead as there is mechanical/duct work running up there – there is no option to change that, therefore stacked uppers are not an option
Some models do not allow for deleted bulkheads. I experienced this in my second Mattamy (I am on my 4th). They were unable to delete bulkheads, but they did manage to recess them so we could at least get the crown molding. I doubt there is anything you can do here.
3- Does the patio sliding door has a screen (grills)? or we have to order? Sliding screen - Yes! Grills have to be ordered separately $222 (but for looks only – not for security)
All patio sliding doors come with a screen door. The grills are an added cost and they are only for show. Not sure that security is what you were going for here.
4- What is Alt kitchen? the only difference I can see from the drawings is adding vertical cabinet beside the wall at the Fridge place. Does that take from the fridge space? Anything else I'm missing in the Alt Kitchen? You didn’t order this option from the Sales Office so this doesn’t apply to you. You have the Standard Kitchen layout
This was to be ordered from the sales centre within 5 days of your purchase. You should have had an appointment to select structural upgrades. Did you do this?
5- Couldn't find what's included in the Garage door? Not sure I understand what you’re asking can you please clarify?
What are you trying to ask about the garage door? I am not clear on this.
6- Which window is operating in each room? No, unfortunately they do not indicate which pane will be operating in each room, you can always order a second operating pane for $276/room
They will not tell you which window will have the operating pane in each room. There is only one per room as standard (this is to code), so if you want to have more operating panes you will have to spend the money. In that case, you should be able to select which window you want it on.
See below each question for my thoughts.
I hope this helps!
