I got a kitchen backsplash from Rite Rug only because I asked about it. Neither our sales rep nor our Rite Rug person asked. Same with pretty much everything we added - tile surrounds in the master tub/shower, deck, kitchen faucet upgrade, cabinet hardware, etc....all things added after we signed our papers (some even after the 30 day point b/c our SR was very cool). This is why there are 7 pages of change orders taped to our sliding glass door right now:) I would think of things and say to myself "you know, we never even talked about that!" I have been very pleased with the overall process, but I wish there was a meeting akin to the pre-construction meeting within those first 30 days. Where someone takes the time to lay out the blueprints and go over room by room what the available options are. I know that would be time consuming, but come on. It would be a lot more efficient and comforting to the customer than giving them a giant stack of oversized paper filled with pages and pages of codes and abbreviations...and no pictures of anything. It would certainly prevent a lot of change orders to have it all settled up front. I guess that's the beauty of these blogs - to help the future RH builders be better informed:)emrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338236390380620690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4295032223103013160.post-85284994101354387342012-09-02T21:41:39.128-04:002012-09-02T21:41:39.128-04:00I concur!

I kept being told RH is not a custom builder and you can only get the options for your model! I did my research provided documentation and other resources and the no's turned into yes and it's going to cost you this.... We have not because we ask Not!
