We had our flooring folks use the virtual tours of the the models to estimate materials and labor for the job. They estimated about a week for the job - which includes demo + hardwood flooring on both floors. We're in a Plan 4. 

We've gone through 3 new construction homes up in the Bay Area, all KB Homes, and the experience was great to awful between each of the homes. We're awaiting our 4th new construction home with a different builder and are so far pretty happy w/ how things are going. We're considering a third...

Makes sense, that one has the nice pool and landscaping. Plus the kitchen is nicely done.

It's also leap away from the 261, which is why i heard they're selling.

We got the email the final model release was happening this weekend... any idea of pricing? I'm guessing the model Plan 3 will go for a lot as it has a decked out back yard w/ pool, but curious about the rest.

LOL!!! We?ve had hardwood around kitchen the past couple homes and the water spillage was never a big deal, most hardwood floors have some treatment so as long as you wipe it up, it?s fine. And fortunately for us, our 3 yr old isn?t too bad with water. And agree on the ?warmer and softer...

We got a quote for hardwood flooring throughout the home, including stairs, with an engineered hardwood product, and they quoted $68k or so. We're having our flooring guys from the Bay Area come down to do the job (they coincidentally also contract for Shea Homes Nor. Cal), and including...

Scratch that, Vinyl is not an option. I checked w/ our designer and she said it was not available and they had no supplier. Bummer.

We just finished up our cut off 3 and found their countertop options pretty good - granted, we knew we wanted to go w/ a quartz product. Is going with Vinyl an option? We have not finalized our flooring options, and plan to have the flooring done after COE.

It's a beautiful home, lots of upgrades, pool, but its so darn close to the toll road. A lot of the homes in Phase 1 Padova are an earshot away from the toll, hence they all have major water features or pools in their backyards.

Oh don't say puny! You can make it pretty darn nice and do some fun stuff. We rarely spent time in our backyard in our last home, current home, and I bet our next home. For the built in - our guy is basically building the structure, running the gas, drain and water lines, and installing the...

Sure, it's the Plan 4, home is about 3400 sq ft, lot is about 5300 sq ft. If it were up to Kris - the home would be up for sale already and I'd be looking in Newport Beach - ha! Probably thinking we'll be here minimum 5-7 years, since our primary reason to move was for family and kids. Want to...

We also bought in Padova and our home should be ready around Feb/March 2021. We're finalizing our landscaping plans and am leaving them a deposit to get on their calendar for next March. Cost came out to $47-48k for pavers on the sides and half the backyard, with faux grass, square cement tiles...

Of coarse you do Kris....of coarse you do!
