Moonstone Patio Villa Question
 
2 Attachment(s)
We bought a Moonstone and will move to TV in about a year. When I looked at photos of the house I noticed the Master Shower has no glass doors on it. There doesn't even seem to be a lip at the bottom to keep water in if using a shower curtain.

So I went to the Home for Sale page and noticed that every Pre-Owned Moonstone shows shower doors, while every Pending Moonstone shows No shower doors.

Has anyone recently moved into a Moonstone, and if so are there shower doors? I'll attempt to put 2 photos in this post showing With and Without.

Thanks!

Seems like something is not right with the shower. In the 12 moonstones here, all have glass shower doors. Very odd indeed, an oversight perhaps on behalf of the builder?

There’s no shower head either. Might be an early picture before they were finished.

There is a different company that installs the doors.

Too bad there’s not someone you can ask who is making money from your purchase and who might know,

like a REALTOR.

They aren’t included anymore
 
We just moved into a patio villa in March. You are correct. They no longer include the shower door in the master bath. When we had our walkthrough our builder gave us the name of someone who installs them. He came a few days later. I think we paid $590 installed.

It was not my intention to irritate you with my question.

It is my intention to ask my REALTOR. Prior to doing so I wanted to gather information from others who recently bought our model home so I would be able to make a case to my REALTOR that we should have shower doors if all others have them.

When you say, "12 Moonstones here"- where is Here, and how did you determine they have shower doors? Also, how recently were they purchased?

Thanks!

When we bought our PV in 2010 no shower doors were on building spec. We used a shower curtain, adding a door following year. Have to say the door felt little tight, and wished we would have continued with a curtain

He’s just has to denigrate TV sales people. Not a jab at you.

Shower heads are the last on the list for install as they seem to disappear while the trades are finishing. 😊

Trax
 
I have never been a big fan of glass shower doors. Seems like I am always scrubbing soap scum and mold off the doors and frame. As an alternative to a glass shower door, may I suggest a ceiling shower rod and curtain from a company called TRAX. Their rod and curtain system keeps water off the floors. The best part is that whenever it needs cleaning, I just throw it in the washing machine. I've used TRAX for years and am very satisfied with it. No more scrubbing. You can find more info for yourself at ceilingshowerrod.com.

They install the shower head during closing.

So you must have an issue with the Realtor’s that can sell new homes. Or did you think the OP didn’t have the ability to think of asking the agent.

Either way rude response to a new resident who was just asking a question. But I find that age has lots to do with response’s from posters.

So OP to answer your question, none of our new builds came with shower doors, in 2010, and 2012. We added after move, price will be very outdated, but $425 install that TV recommended.

Given lack of product, it sometimes easier just to not include at sale, or builder choose to not install. Our second house in 2012 didn’t have a garage door opener. It was not on spec sheet, so we had to do after market.

Probably not finished yet. Our house didn't have shower heads the first time we looked at it. All was in place for the walk-thru before closing. Call your realtor. They can tell you how to proceed.
