Paragon Contracting, LLC is a Design company originally from Arnold, Maryland. It began with the idea of providing custom and quality work at fair prices to family and friends in need of construction and remodeling. The idea then manifested. After a lot of thought, planning, and hard work, we became capable of providing the same quality and custom work to anyone in Maryland. The crew at Paragon Contracting, LLC is dedicated to satisfying you and providing you with a unique, exciting, and stress-free experience when undergoing any construction or remodeling project in your home or place of business. This is completed through the "in-house" employees at Paragon Contracting that all maintain the same genuine concern about their projects as you do about your own home or place of business.
"In hiring a contractor for your home, I know the experience can often be nerve-wrecking. Earlier this month, I had a painting project which needed to be corrected and fixed; as we had hired another painter beforehand; and regretted it quickly. When looking for a contractor who would not only be willing and able to correct the work that was done, but also be able to do so within a reasonable budget, I looked toward Paragon as I had known their work quality from a job they had done for me beforehand. Ryan was quick to respond to my inquiry for a job quote (within about 3 hrs. on a weekend), and an appointment for one of his employees, Charles, was quickly set up. Charles was not only pleasant to deal with, his level of professionalism was also unmatched. In his coming out to evaluate out job, he assured me that the work I was requesting could most certainly be done and stated that he would need about 5 days to complete. Price quote was promptly sent over to me, and after some discussion, I decided to proceed with this job. Ryan was very flexible on the pricing, and willing to work with you concerning budgeting. Charles returned to our home to do the work and kept my wife and I fully in the loop as to what he was doing, needed to do, as well as any problems that were popping up in the course of completion. We couldn't be happier with the finished result. Once job was completed, there were only a few small areas which needed to be addressed/touched up and when brought to their attention, they did not hesitate to promptly correct the issues. It is this attention to detail, as well as them INSISTING that you hold THEM accountable for imperfections so that they may be corrected is why I would recommend them to anyone who needs work done. Never once did I have to worry about the quality of the work being done, Ryan and his team are very friendly in answering any questions you may have, and when it comes to follow-up and corrections, they are happy to oblige. I never have to worry about my home being disrespected with ANY of his crew doing work; and that is very reassuring. Previously his team had installed a French door opening to my deck, and this is what turned me on to this company. Using them as your contractor, you will not be disappointed. THANK YOU GUYS, ONCE AGAIN!!!"

Detached structures generally require more investment than interior conversions due to additional foundation work, independent utility connections, and exterior construction requirements. These standalone offices typically align with addition costs, ranging from $80 to $300 per square foot depending on design complexity and finish quality. Consider additional expenses for separate heating/cooling systems, insulation requirements, and potential zoning restrictions when planning a detached workspace.
Most jurisdictions require permits for structural modifications, electrical work, plumbing installations, and HVAC alterations. Requirements vary significantly between municipalities, making consultation with local building authorities essential before beginning work. Proceeding without proper permits can result in financial penalties, construction delays, or requirements to remove non-compliant installations, potentially increasing your overall project cost substantially.
Converting existing space is typically more economical, with costs ranging from $50 to $200 per square foot compared to $80 to $300 per square foot for new additions. Room conversions avoid expenses associated with foundations, exterior walls, roofing, and additional utility connections. Your decision should consider not only immediate costs but also how repurposing existing space might affect your home's overall functionality and value proposition.
Room conversions typically require between two and six weeks, depending on the extent of modifications. Building an addition generally takes three to four months from initial planning through final inspection. Your project timeline depends on permit processing, contractor availability, material delivery schedules, and any unforeseen complications discovered during construction. Weather conditions and seasonal factors may also influence completion timelines, particularly for exterior construction phases.
Home office expenses related to business activities may qualify for tax deductions, though specific eligibility requirements apply. You'll need to maintain thorough documentation of expenses and use the space exclusively for business purposes to qualify for most deductions. Tax benefits vary based on employment status, space utilization, and current tax regulations. Consulting a qualified tax professional before making renovation decisions can help you understand potential financial advantages specific to your situation.
