We initially found Paragon on the Thumbtack app, where they have GREAT reviews. Typically, these guys do commercial work but they're breaking into residential in the Philadelphia area. I wouldn't even say that we took a gamble, because their commercial work and projects on the Main Line/Jersey are phenomenal. Ownership came to our house personally, given our extensive rodent and water damage on our siding, (which was original to our 1930s row home) to review options/financing/timelines, etc.
We had the entire siding replaced on our Fairmount row home, due to the urgency of our exterior damage, which took only 3-4 days total. We initially signed right before the big snowstorms this winter, and the team was communicative even through delays that were NOT their fault - we just had to wait for the bad weather to break in order to start the work. Went with the James Hardie brand exterior, which was only marginally more expensive than the basic vinyl which wouldn’t have given us the full protection we were looking for. Doesn’t hurt that the end product looks phenomenal and will hopefully increase the house’s curb value. The on-site project team, project lead, and company leadership were all really respectful and great about setting expectations up front and communicating updates throughout. They even took a quick (free) look at some leaks we were having on the roof while on site for the inspection before the job.
Big shoutout to Val (Co-Owner and siding/exterior lead), Jimmy (Co-Owner and roofing lead), Etai (Project Lead/Manager) and the rest of the team. These guys do great business. We will absolutely be hitting Paragon up for future projects!
Fairmount & Philly neighbors - these guys are great - respectful, transparent, communicative, won't break the bank, yet delivers quality work...
