The staff at GRB responded to every question, comment or problem almost immediately. They were responsive to our needs. No matter the issue, nothing was too trivial for them to respond.
We've had an amazing experience throughout the project. I highly recommend Leo and his team to anyone.
Scott came up with a great solution for what we needed and it turned out great
Concern For Needs - He met with us to understand what we wanted and came up with a great plan that fit within our budget
Follow Up - Scott quickly answered every question we had and always was pleasant to deal with.
Clean & Safe - Often during the project there were alot of materials and supplies coming on our driveway and property. The crews were always trying to make it easy for us to continue to use our cars and they always would clean up as much as possible at the end of the day.
I have already recommended Paragon to several neighbors and whenever I here of someone contemplating a project recommend the call Paragon before they decide on someone.
Concern For Needs - We have worked with Scott on several projects and he always exceeds in design what we were thinking of.
Sales Solutions - It was really helpful to get multiple options with varying costs to help make or decision
Follow Up - Constantly, throughout the project
Professional & Organized - After our first project we didn't even consider looking elsewhere
Project Manager Professionalism - Both Les and Kevin did a great job overseeing the project and made sure every aspect of the job met or exceeded our exceptions. They communicated each step as to what and when things were happening as well as any changes as the project progressed
Installation Crew Professionalism - They couldn't have done a better job and were extremely neat in cleaning up each day.
Value - It is the old saying "You get what you pay for". Yes Paragon is a more pricy company but they ALWAYS do superior work.
Areas For Improvement - To give a better cost expectation as to electrical work do preparing the site for construction
Areas Of Satisfaction - All aspects exceeded what we envisioned the finished product would be.
Current Referrals - Yes
Recognized Excellence - I really can not recognize one individual over another as each member of the team, from the initial meeting with Scott to the final project completion with Kevin, Les and all the crews honestly couldn't have done better.
Additional Comments - When we have our next construction job, Paragon will be my first and last call.
They have been very good and patient with everything.
We have worked with other builders / renovation contractors and Golden Rule Builders have been more thorough and more attentive than any of the others we have worked with.
Building with GRB has really made life easier and more enjoyable. From design through construction, the GRB staff has been warm and supportive. The process of building is a challenge, but we could rely on GRB to help guide and get the job done. Most important is the warranty period. Rather than being left being on your own with your new house, the GRB team stands ready to assist from the smallest to the biggest details. If something needs to be corrected, they get it done.
Paragon did an outstanding job within the price and time frame that they quoted. It was a very pleasant experience working with them.

They take pride in the work they do.
The whole process was honest and upfront and the team knows what they are doing. They were true to their word and schedule through the whole build.
On the basis of an excellent experience and outcome with a porch/deck/patio project, we highly recommend Paragon Construction Company for a high-quality home renovation.
Concern For Needs - Scott Faison is a tremendous asset to Paragon. He listened carefully and repeatedly to our project objectives and remained involved at every phase as a resource to ensure our satisfaction.

Great communication, timely, friendly and professional.
job was managedvery well
Our project manager was not easy to work with. His communication was subpar. When asking questions we were treated as if we were an irritation. He was not on site 50% of the time. Many mistakes were made that caused serious delays and inconvenience from lack of communication and absence.
If I had to do this again I am not sure I would pay the extra money to use this company. They promised above and beyond service but we were constantly told how expensive and important other projects were. Maybe if we spent a few million dollars instead of one we would be treated better.
It has been our experience that Perez has accommodated us with any problem that we have had with any of our projects. They have been there to correct EVERTYTHING - even as long as 2 years later. We are VERY happy with all of their work.
Additional Comments - The entire Paragon operation is simply FANTASTIC!! From Jeremy and Shelly at the initial project planning and selection phases to Zach, Joanna and the rest of the crew we had a positive experience start to finish and LOVE our new kitchen!!
Perez Design/Build Remodel was very professional.
Throughout the project, the team at Paragon was open to ideas and did a very good job of communicating with us. We are also impressed with the commitment and expertise of the work crews. They do an excellent job and speak highly of the relationship they have with Paragon.
Areas For Improvement - None
Areas Of Satisfaction - This was a drainage project, so different options were considered for where to place the runoff pipe. We discussed options with the project manager and the team lead and decided on the route which would best handle the water runoff (which ended up being different from the originally proposed plan). The expertise of the installers helped generate the best outcome. The real test, of course, will be whether the drainage system works as planned when we have the next period of heavy precipitation.
Current Referrals - Not at the moment, however we have recommended Paragon to others based on the work performed in a previous project.
Areas For Improvement - They didn't fall short in any area.
Areas Of Satisfaction - I was most satisfied with the quality of the detail.
Recognized Excellence - The entire crew did an excellent job.
Additional Comments - I am looking forward to the next project.
I had a great experience. They did a super job. They addressed all issues. Tom Hamilton did a super job.

As noted below, we give 5 stars for the workmanship and professionalism provided by Leo and his team. They are all really nice caring people. But I would recommend to a friend that they start with an independent designer to get clarity around their wants and needs for their kitchen FIRST, and then get with Leo and his team. Many of our wants and needs were not uncovered by Leo's team and this led to either paying a lot of money for things we did NOT want, or wasting time and delaying the completion of our kitchen by not ordering things up front that we DID want.
For example, our pull out lower corner cabinet had an obvious unusable design the moment we saw it. We were just shown the CAD and told "it's behind this door and pulls out" - never shown what it looked like until it was installed. As well, had we been told our pots had to be of a certain height in order to use the peg boards we would have never ordered them since they were unusable.
Conversely, if we had been asked, "do you want a lazy susan in the upper corner cabinet?" We would have said "yes" immediately. Or, as also occurred, on our own, but too late in the process to do easily, we saw you could have an in drawer charging station for your ipad and iphones. We would have asked to put this in up front had we been made aware of this.
A basic suggestion for improvement would be to develop some sort of checklist that could be used with future clients at the first meeting. E.g "what things do you like about your existing kitchen that you want to ensure you maintain?" "what are the 3 top things you want to achieve with your new dream kitchen?" Would suggest showing pictures of kitchen's in terms of "latest features" for pull out drawers, cookie sheet stacking racks, etc. with accompanying check list to firm up wants, needs, priorities, etc. Wish we had been offered this. Who wouldn't? Even if the client was working with a designer, having the Leo Lantz team take this step to ensure alignment on wants and needs up front would go a long way toward enhancing the entire customer experience.
The entire process was handled professionally from beginning to end.
Leo and his team answered any question and were patient with idea changes.
I think they are very professional. I'm thrilled with their work and cleanup. I'm very satisfied.
I am very happy with the work. I would recommend them to anybody. They were very professional. They took pride in their work, and if I had any questions, they answered them. I plan to go back to them for more work in the future.
Paragon did a great job of replacing our old wooden deck with a new composite deck that looks great. The use of their online project management tool kept us apprised of the status of the project then entire time with daily updates on what was accomplished and what to expect next. The entirety of the project was well documented in the tool
Project Manager Professionalism - Kevin was there to get his crew started explaining scope of work and followed up regularly and ensured tweaks to final intstalation were addressed. Thorough, professional, and friendly!
Installation Crew Professionalism - Andrew and Daniel were great! Very nice job including workmanship, clean-up, and professionalism.
Areas Of Satisfaction - Exceeding- Replacing two of the pantry doors to ensure a better fit; finding color matching “J” trim to our vinyl siding when original pieces could not be reused after patio doors were installed. Attention to detail!!
Recognized Excellence - Scott, Les, Kevin, Andrew, Daniel, Shelley, and Molly we’re a pleasure to work with.
