Hey curlymo, here's my 2 cents:

- One additional window operating pane
Not sure what this means exactly?
curlymo wrote:
- Air conditioning
No. You can get this easily and for less money after closing
curlymo wrote:
- 9 ft ceilings on main floor
Yes. It's not just difficult, it's impossible to get done after closing, and adds so much value
curlymo wrote:
- Dundee oak strip hardwood, in saddle
No, easy to do after and cheaper
curlymo wrote:
- All oak stairs, with matching saddle stain
Yes - beautiful, adds value, difficult to do after
curlymo wrote:
- Victorian Newel Post on stairs, with matching square pickets
Yes - not that expensive to do and a pain to do after
curlymo wrote:
- Bevelled frameless mirror sliders
No, can be done after
curlymo wrote:
- black microwave over range
Yes, can be done after but I heard is a pain. Also Mattamy will shorten the cabinets for you
curlymo wrote:
- full-depth pantry
Yes, difficult to do after without tearing stuff out
curlymo wrote:
- deep upper over fridge with fridge panel
Yes, a pain to do after
curlymo wrote:
- upgraded cabinets in kitchen
Yes, a major pain to do after
curlymo wrote:
- kitchen backsplash
NO. Mattamy really overcharges on this, and its very easy to do after, not to mention cheaper
curlymo wrote:
- framing for wall mount TV
Not sure what this is but if the price is right, go for it
curlymo wrote:
- framed glass shower door
Neutral. I think this is easy to do after but I'm not positive. I paid for it because I didn't want the hassle.
curlymo wrote:
- upgraded vanity cabinet in master bathroom
Not sure - what comes with the upgrade?
curlymo wrote:
- clear mirror sliders in bedroom
No. can be done after easily & cheaper
curlymo wrote:
- upgraded underpadding
Yes. Impossible to do after unless you plan to replace the carpeting too.
curlymo wrote:
- gas fireplace
Yes. You can get a gas fireplace after closing but Mattamy will jog the foundation for you.
curlymo wrote:
- door from garage
Yes. And no. I hear it's easy to do after. I chose to pay for the upgrade because I know I'd never get around to doing it after.
curlymo wrote:
- Upgraded trim package (package 2)
If it fits in the budget, yes. The lower packages are not bad but the upgrades are nice.
Many of these things are debatable - except the 9ft ceiling of course. What budget are you working with?
