Can you comment on what were their objections?

Is it generally recommended to have earthquake insurance?

Yep, 92618 all the way!

I also selected a coverage of $450K with 15% deductible,  personal property coverage limit of 5K, loss of use coverage limit $1500. Was quoted $155 per year!

Was at the office Sunday and they already had placed sold pin on that lot!

Can any one who had the landscaping done share his/her experience as to what things should be watched during the landscaping? We are mostly having pavers, and some grass areas/plants.

I think you are absolutely correct.  He is not creative and does not have lot of ideas.  However, if you know what you want, he may be able to do it at a reasonable cost. It almost seems that now he is too busy which results in delays.

Good hint about Aloha.  We knew about his license but based upon forum recommendations, we decided to go with him.  I hope we don't regret it!

Lack of a loft in the Whistler Plan 3 would be a deal breaker for me too - I thought they were going to include the bonus room in these plans as standard going forward?  As for the white tile bathrooms - some builders are still doing that, some are doing E-stone (or some variation of it) on the...

The HOA is run by First Service residential.  They give you 120 days to submit the plan and 1 year to complete the back/front yard.

We just got our flooring done by Tompkins.  Our installer (George) did a great job.  He was very thorough and professional.  He is very good in communication and gave excellent advice.  Our wood and tile floors look great.  I would really recommend him.  If any one needs his contact number...

At least in phase 1, biggest lot was 7067 sq ft (plan 1) but mostly in 5000+ sq ft range.  I was recently told that they have sold almost all of their plan 2 and plan 3s in phase 2. They will be increasing the price by $10,000 for the phase 3.

Is the front yard also landscaped by the builder or you have to get it landscaped and then HOA will maintain it? Most of SFR in Pavilion Park have an area in front of their house which is landscaped by the builder and maintained by HOA, but there is also another area which is not landscaped by...

GH:  Tompkins was lower by about 25-30% than the builder.  The easiest way is to find out the cost of your tile online and then add installation charges per sq. ft (just use $5.50 for carpeted surfaces and $6.50 for tiles surfaces) to get to total cost.  That will give you a rough idea and some...

Chairman:  We actually chose the tile at builder's design center and then gave the name to the Tompkins as well as simple floors. It is an "Arizona Tiles" tile.  We went to their show room and looked at it. Their price was $11 but is available for $6 per sq ft online. Installation of the tile...

We decided to go with Tompkins. We found Venetian to have competitive, no frills price but they don't do tiles.  For tiles we were going with Tompkins, who was going to take 5-7 days to do the tiles. Venetian was going to take 3 days for upstair tiles. By getting it done from one vendor, it will...

Has anyone used Simplisafe?  It seems to have very good reviews on amazon.

Thank you to every one who replied. Qwerty: Would you be able to share which system you have? I was also thinking about home automation with the z-wave devices and possibly getting a security system which interacts with z-wave.  There is a lot of information available at different websites...

We are moving to new home in Pavilion Park next month.  Irvine is generally safe but Pavilion Park is going to have lot of construction for next couple of years. That makes me concerned about general security and want to have a security system installed.  I have looked it ADT and others as well...

We are currently going through the same process.  We want to have tiles in kitchen, great room and bath rooms but wood in other areas.  We have gotten quotes from Tompkins, Venetian and Simple Floors.  Here is my impression for each one of them: Tompkins: They do wood, tile and carpet and have...
