So I stumbled across a blog from someone who built their Ryan Home back in 2012. It was mentioned in their blog that they used a picture of their elevation & a tool to look at the exterior choices.
Anyone know where I can find this tool???!! Is it an on-line app? Please help. We are supposed to decide on our exterior choices within the next week. Thank you!
Sorry I'm not able to help you with that. But I share your annoyance with having to make a huge decision with barely any reference material. Ryan is a huge company. Everything should be computer based and the SR should have acces to all exterior elevations and be able to click on difference colors, brick/stone, etc. To decide on our brick past the small brick board sample we were shown, I basically looked through Google Images and the manufacturer's website.
ReplyDeleteThanks James, I'm not having luck finding my elevation M on the Internet (just the same model pictures). No idea if Ravenna M is new or people just don't pick it (it happens to be the most expensive elevation for Ravenna's too). And when I look at stone choices I'm not having luck with that either. Just seeing a small image on Ply Gem web page.
DeleteI'm in agreement with you. As much as this is a huge decision , there should be a virtual tool offered. It's not a cheap fix if you end up hating it. ;-)
I think it is new. We did not have this option when we built ours.
DeleteI wish there was an app for that! I can't believe for a company so big that they don't have some sort of software that can show you every elevation and color combination possible. Siding and shake just went up on our house and we are trying to at least change our trim color which seems to be near impossible now. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh no Nokomis!! You really dislike it that much?! Sorry to hear this. Hopefully they can help you out. I've heard some Buyers have been able to get stone re-done (more if it came out too dark & they went back in & removed some & put lighter stone pieces in). Haven't come across trim yet. Wish you luck!
ReplyDeleteI spoke to my SR last night & she mentioned she brought this visual concern up to management. Who knows if our thoughts will be heard. Maybe for future Buyers though...
There is (or was at least) a site through Ryan homes that you could view design info. It was pretty basic, but still pretty helpful. Let me look through my files to see if I can find it. Otherwise the sherwin williams app is pretty good if you could match the ryan exterior colors to a sherwin color you could at least get an idea of how it would look on your actual house.
ReplyDeleteThanks Colette. I'll look into the SW app tonight. If you happen to come across that other site in your files please fill me in!! :))
