We chose Paragon Homes to build our forever home as they provided a service that we could not find anywhere else. They allowed us freedom in the design process, with expert advice on architecture, design, budget management, and cutting edge industry practices. They designed a home based on our wants and needs, and respected our budget. Giving us the best value for our money.
The construction process was difficult at times (due to COVID-19), but Paragon Homes was able to adapt and make the best out of a bad situation. We stuck on schedule the best we could. We were always kept up to date with current project statuses, and informed when decisions needed to be made. We also had the opportunity to get our hands dirty and actually help with the construction (minor projects) with our home, which not a lot of home builders will allow.
We are very happy with our home and we are glad we chose Paragon Homes to lead our project.
Paragon Homes helped us build our dream home. Our project started a few months before the Covid-19 pandemic hit our region in Ottawa. Residential construction was halted by the Ontario Provincial government for several months. When construction started again, the prices of building materials rose very quickly and trades workers were very difficult to find because everyone wanted them at the same time. Paragon Homes staff were critical in ensuring that we got the best prices possible and the most experienced trades workers. The prefabricated components of their wall system were already pre-ordered, built and ready to install. They offered manufacturing precision and with their 2x6 framing and extra insulation we have an enhanced R-value and precision built walls. We could not have achieved this level of construction quality and savings without Paragon Homes support.
Thank you very much for your expertise and support.

I liked the service Frank provided and was always on the ball and negotiated the best price for our dealings with the trades. He was on the job site daily to ensure the work was progressing well and that the quality of workmanship was there. Frank is proactive in identifying potential problems and having a back up plan to ensure the timelines of the project are met. His experience and knowledge really helped us attain our dream house. Thank you Frank for all that you have done.
Thank you Mr. Borracci,
Note that we also provided Mr.Borracci with our Paragon Home package-Kit with our R-32 Wall system, R-5 windows and doors, R-60 Ceilings.
We were happy with the work done by Paragon. The project was completed on time despite covid and some early site issues. Communication with Frank and Nicole was excellent and Frank sent regular updates and would call to let me know of any issues as they arose. Was happy with the way that Frank coordinated and managed the various sub trades. We are very happy with our house. The only disappointment was the cost - total cost was over 30% more than the original estimates pre-tender. That being said, factors outside Paragon’s control such as the timing of our build (winter/spring build seems to be pricier) and trades unwillingness to travel to the location seemed to have resulted in fewer bids and thus higher costs. We worked with Frank’s recommended interior design person Julie as well as their recommended mortgage broker Chad and both were great.
