NOTE: NEVER CLEAN WOOD FLOOR WITH WATER.

NOTE: Our hardwood floors are installed with a tongue and groove assembly. This system is designed to help disguise expansion and contraction that naturally occurs during summer and winter temperature differences, but you may still notice some seasonal changes in your boards.

Q: Will I have variations in the color and patters of my hardwood flooring?

A: Hardwood floors are a natural product made of a tree. They can vary in many ways. Each plank has its own color and grain, and will vary from plank to plank. These variations are innate and should be expected and admired.

Q: Will my hardwood floors scratch and/or dent?

A: Hardwood, because of its intrinsic nature has the ability to dent, scratch or mar more easily. Therefore, it does require a higher level of maintenance. This should be considered if contemplating hardwood. We recommend not wearing high heels, dragging furniture, or placing any heavy furniture or chairs directly on hard wood surfaces. Instead, use furniture coasters that are padded to protect your floors.

Q: Which way will the boards of my hardwood floor run?

A: This is your choice. If you are selecting hardwood be sure to let us know which direction you would like your flooring to run.

CARPET

NOTE: We have a “Standard” carpet included in your home. Due to colors and styles changing you will need to talk to your design coordinator to find out what carpet we are currently using.

We have a standing relationship with Modern Floors in Coos Bay, Or where there are several choices to choose from within in this level or you may choose to select another style or color for an additional cost.

A: Yes. Although one color/style has been chosen for the entire home to keep the costs low, You may choose multiple colors for an additional cost.

Q: Will I see seams in my carpet?

A: When your carpet is installed our installers try their best to minimize seams. However, because we use 12 foot wide rolls of carpet, there will be seams, especially in large rooms. We attempt to run seams perpendicular to windows, whenever possible to better minimize the appearance of seams and we try to place seams so they are less likely to be noticed, but carpet is installed to utilize the least amount of carpet in order to keep the overall cost down.

Q: Where do I find the information about my carpet that I need to write down?

A: The color name and number is listed on the back of the carpet sample.

The style of carpet is also listed on the back of the carpet sample. Be sure to make a note of:

1) The level of your carpet selection

2) The style of your carpet selection

3) The color number of your carpet selection

4) The color name of your carpet selection

Q: Is there stain and soil protection on all the different carpets?

A: Each carpet on the back is label with the type of stain and soil protection it offers. The Included carpet does not have either.

Q: Which is better: Nylon carpets or Polyester carpets?

A: Nylon carpets wear better, but are less stain resistant then polyester. Please keep in mind that you can always make your carpet more stain resistant by treating it yourself, but you can’t make it wear better.

Q: What are the features and benefits of Berber carpets?

A: Berber carpets are very durable products. In addition, the color variation in the carpets is good for masking or disguising stains. Also they have a contemporary look and are great to design around. Some features to be careful of are that Berber carpets do NOT seam very well due to the loop look. Polypropylene Berber carpet is an oil based carpet and therefore it attracts oils, making it difficult to clean in high traffic areas.

Q: Twist, Density, and Durability… What do these different ratings mean?

A: Twist is how tightly an individual yarn is twisted. The tighter the twist, the more readily the carpets will bounce back from crushing. Density is how many individual yarns there are per square inch. The denser the carpet, the thicker and more lush it feels under your feet. Increased density or weight offers better performance. Durability is the result of the twist and density ratings and is the most important one to use for your comparisons.

CARPET PAD

NOTE: Density and weight, not height, measures the carpet pad. If you look at the carpet pad samples, they may appear to be the same height, but you should feel the difference between the levels. You may want to place the carpet of your choice on top of the pads and stand on them to feel the difference.

Q: What carpet pad is included in my home?

A: The included carpet pad is a 7/16” – 6 lb. pad, and there are many additional choices available.

Q: What is the difference between the levels?

A: The density of the carpet pad impacts how your carpet will wear. Carpet pad can increase the life of your carpet without adding big costs.

Q: I’m getting included carpet, should I upgrade my carpet pad?

A: Upgrading any option is your choice. Please note that upgrading your pad, even with included carpet will increase the life of your carpet.

Q: I’m going to upgrade my carpet in a few years, should I get an upgraded carpet pad now?

A: By upgrading your pad, you will decrease the future cost of replacing your carpet in the future because of the increased labor to remove the carpet pad and the tack strips.

Q: Does the color of the pad represent the level I have purchased?

A: The color of the pad has nothing to do with its density or weight, therefore the color of the pad in your new home may or may not be the same as what is in the showroom.

The included corners in your home are squared off, which allow for easier color transition, should you choose to do accent painting after you move in. However, if you prefer rounded corners, for an additional cost, you may have them throughout your home.

NOTE: All windows & short walls including handrails are wrapped with sheetrock.

STAIR RAILS

NOTE: A 38” sheet rock wrapped wall with paint grade wood handrail is included.

NOTE: You may upgrade to a paint grade wood cap or to stair rails.

Q: How do I determine if I have the option for an open rail on my stairs?

A: Your floor plan will clearly show you this feature. It will state "opt. Open Rail" on either side, or both sides of the stairs on the downstairs portion letting you know what your options are for open railing. In addition, that feature will be presented to you in our online Option Catalogue if it is available on your plan.

Q: What is a kickboard?

A. A kickboard is a wood trim that runs along the stairs between the carpet and wall. Kickboards are a separate upgrade from your open handrail and are available in different finishes.

TRIM

NOTE: Your windows come included drywall-wrapped on all four sides of the interior.

Q: What is trim?

A: Trim is the wood trim along the bottoms of all the walls as well as the trim around your doorframes.

WINDOW COVERINGS

We have many window treatment packages available: mini blinds, vertical blinds, 2” blinds in vinyl and wood. Each package is predetermined per plan. A more detailed description of each package is available. Ask a showroom coordinator for assistance. **There are no included window blind packages with your home. It is your choice if you wish to add blinds.

NOTE: We recommend that you always open your blinds before you raise or lower them to increase their longevity.

Q: What should my blinds match? Should it be the wall color, the floor, or the furniture?

A: You may want to consider your wall paint color since it will be on at least three sides of your blinds. If you are planning on installing soft shades (drapes) after you move in, you may also want to keep their color in mind. Also, take into consideration whether you want the blinds to be a focal point or blend into the background.

WINDOWS

NOTE: Rear & Side Window grids are available at an additional cost.

NOTE: Do not measure your window for window coverings until sheetrock texture is complete.

Window grids are the frame designs within the glass of your windows. Please refer to your exterior elevation drawing for your window grid design. The grids are typically an included or “no-cost” option for the front of you home. If you would prefer to have grids on the sides or rear of you home, that is an option for an additional cost.

Q: Can I have any windows in my home changed from clear glass to obscure ("frosted") glass?

A: Yes

Q: How do I know which of the windows on my floor plan will open?

A: Windows that are marked with an "FX" are fixed, and therefore do NOT open. Windows marked with an "XO" are sliding windows and open either left to right, or right to left. Windows that are marked with an "SH" are single hung windows that open vertically.

Q: How do I know the size of the windows in my home?

A: Your window measurements are clearly indicated on the floor plan. The dimensions are in feet and inches. For example, a "3050" window is a 3 foot 0 inch wide window by 5 feet 0 inches in height.

Q: Can I change the size of my included windows?

A: Yes. You can change the size of any of your windows, if the plan allows it. There will be an additional charge for this change.

Q: Can I choose the style of grid I want?

A: Yes. Please reference the elevation to confirm the style of grid you will receive as a standard grid pattern.

Q: Will the grids make it difficult to clean my windows?

A: The grids are in between the glass of the window, so they will not interfere at all with cleaning.

INTERIORS

CABINETS

NOTE: Islands, Peninsulas, and/or Overhangs (available per plan) are optional upgrades in most plans. The countertop type of these items may be the same as the rest of your kitchen or they may be upgraded. Additionally, there is an option to add a 24” deep cabinet over the refrigerator.

LIGHTING

CEILING MOUNTED LIGHT

Q: Can I add lights in areas where there are no included lights?

A: There are no overhead lights in the family room or the living room. We do include in each of these rooms hot/switch outlets. This gives you the ability to plug in a lamp and utilize a switch to turn your lamp on. You may choose to add lights in these areas; you have several options available at an additional cost.

Q: Will you install flood lights on the second floor eave above my back patio?

A: Yes, we can for an additional cost.

CEILING FAN OPTIONS

NOTE: The "wiring only" option cannot be used in lieu of an included light fixture. As mentioned earlier, by code, the rooms that have lights will have the pre-wire in addition to the included light. Rooms that have a hot/switch outlet will have this in addition to the pre-wire.

Q: Where can I put ceiling fans?

A: Any of our ceiling fan styles are available in bedrooms, family room, living room, dining room, nooks, bonus rooms and lofts. Some of the limitations are: they are not available outside, in the attic or the crawl space, and not available to replace the recessed can on the stairwell.

Q: What can I do if I don't want to buy a ceiling fan or light fixture from you, but I want the

flexibility later?

A: You can choose to get the pre-wiring only with 2 switches and the included ceiling mounted light will cover the wire until you purchase the fan of your choice if the room has an included light fixture. If the room does not come with an included light fixture you will need to purchase a light fixture or you will receive a blank plate over the pre-wire purchased.

NOOK & DINING ROOM LIGHTS

NOTE: Please see your design coordinator for locations of included light fixtures.

Q: Can I upgrade my included white fixtures to another finish color?
