Standard Pacific Homes in Santee Still Overpriced?

[Anonymous]

$1800, wow! If you do not mind me asking, where did you go? I just got a quote from JCPenney for $2,500 plus tax. I am still shopping around, but it seems as if you received a great deal.

We are still trying to figure out what to do with our sliding door. I am voting for drapes, but my wife still has to pick out the colors.

SDEngineer,

Thank you for pulling that out of the bi laws. That is exactly what I was looking for. I cannot believe the HOA people could not give me the written rules on the subject.

It is strange that people put up newspaper and or aluminum foil. I guess I am not as contemporary as I once thought I was.

Wood stained are more expensive than white blinds, as is true wood versus faux wood. I priced out blinds at Home Depot, just the basic white faux wood and they came out to about 2K for the whole plan 6. It also depends on the number of windows – the plan 6 has a LOT of windows – more, I think, than the plan 2 that PKMAN has.

The blind guy was found by our realtor, not the same guy that does drapery (the bone-head that drilled into our drainage pipe) and his workmanship is quite decent. Each window also has a nice looking crown-molding-like cover. We never inquired about wood stain so don’t know the price different to white.

I believe he’s a mobile installer with no store/shop. My wife compared his sample with Lowe’s and IKEA (didn’t go to JCP) and found that his has better quality, faux wood has better feel to it and better materials for the pulleys and other mechanisms. My wife’s pretty nitpicky on these things but she’s quite satisfied with his work, even though the initial communication and price negotiating didn’t go well (my wife’s not very proficient in English and I had to work).

SDEngineer is right that Plan 6 most likely has more windows and window square footage than my Plan 2, since it’s about 200 sq.ft. bigger. Keep in mind that my sliding door is not installed (would’ve been $250 more) as we’ve chosen to go with dual layer curtain (sheer + regular). The $1,800 includes tax.

SDEngineer – you should shop around a bit more, as my wife says that Lowe’s samples show significant wear & tear and the mechanisms simply look cheap. I can’t imagine Home Depot’s offering being better quality. Perhaps you should check out JCP or elsewhere. If Unixed and you are interested, send me a private mail (not sure how to do it in Pigg but I’m sure there’s a way) and I’ll give you my blind guy’s phone #.
