Mid-November, 2016
We picked all of our options in a single day. It too three meetings but the process is well-established.
Working with Ryan is an interesting experience. It's pretty cookie-cutter, as there are not a lot of options and pretty much no room for non-standard customizations. For instance, there is really no choices other than standard for lighting, knobs, and plumbing fixtures, though you can change the finish of the fixtures from chrome to brushed. There are no cabinet hardware options - you have to use what comes with the cabinets you select.
I suppose this is part of the Ryan business model and they do a good job offering a product that fits their price point. However, you should be aware of this before you buy. If you think you want a lot of customization of look/feel - lights, fixtures, floors, cabinets, etc, then you may want to look at the standard Ryan choices before you buy. There are good choices available for everything, and we are really excited about what we selected, but I expected a whole lot more to choose from. Plus, when there was something that I wanted that wasn't in their list of standard options, there was virtually no flexibility to have it added.
Like I said - very "Cookie-Cutter."
We remain very happy and excited though - even with the limited choices. In the end, we chose a gray theme - with upgrade gray wood floors, white upgrade cabinets, gray oak finish stairs, and a speckle white countertop and gray glass tile backsplash. We got the high end appliances as well. For the master bath we chose a gray slate tile and white subway tile tiling. We were, and remain very very excited about our choices. I can't wait to see them in the house!
