I have a quick question... has anyone had any experience in being able to choose countertops that are not offered by The Villages and getting them installed prior to the completion of the house? I am hoping to do this as reasonably as possible, but I am hearing I may need to install something generic in order to pass inspection and then replace them on my own after the sale is completed. Would love to be able to order countertops and have them installed while the house is being built.. any suggestions?
Just seeing this now, so you may have already gotten the answer to your question elsewhere, but the best thing to do is check with your sales person about this as TV has changed over time what can and cannot be done. But I can tell you as of several years ago, you could not get outside installation or do it yourself. I highlighted one of your statements above because that is probably what you will have to do. If your intention is to replace just choose their most basic, least expensive option. They will not sell a house unfinished so you can finish yourself nor will they deal with outside contractors in that fashion. Again, at least that's how it was back then and I kind of doubt it has changed. Changes in what is allowed and what isn't have been known to happen however, so I would contact your sales agent who should be able to verify this for you.
