What is the best way to make selections for my project?

Ready to personalize your home?

If you are ready to get the remodeling plan started then selecting finishes and fixtures is a key step in remodeling, and we’re here to guide you.

What are selections?

These are the individual products you choose, from faucets and tiles to carpets and appliances.

Choosing before the contract? While it’s ideal, we understand most people finalize preferences later. To keep things moving, allowances are provided in your contract for these undecided items.

Almar’s flexible process

Choosing before the contract. While it’s ideal, we understand most people finalize preferences later. To keep things moving, allowances are provided in your contract for these undecided items.

After-contract selections: If you prefer to choose later, you’ll have: Allowance-based pricing: Your contract includes a set amount for each item category. Choosing a more expensive option incurs an additional charge, while selecting a less expensive one results in a credit.

Online portal approval: See all your choices clearly listed with pictures, model numbers, and prices. Simply approve or decline each item directly within your secure online portal.

Make Selections Early

  • Design impact: Certain choices, like appliance sizes, affect layout and cabinetry. Selecting early ensures everything fits perfectly and avoids design changes later.
