"Bryan and his crew were trustworthy, thorough, clean and meticulous! Bryan was absolutely wonderful to work with us from our initial consultation through completion of our kitchen remodel. Bryan really knows the products and materials and his prices are honest and fair with the current market. Bryan went above and beyond on our home project and he knows how things should and should not look. When we were given the wrong size crown molding, Bryan addressed the issue quickly and the correct crown molding was installed. Bryan was also observant and noticed some minor flooring and shoe molding that needed replacement and asked if we wanted to add the work in - of course, we did! We could not be more pleased with the end results. The work Bryan performed included installing recessed lighting, undercabinet lighting, cabinets, crown molding, shoe molding, scribe molding, flooring pieces, painting (walls, baseboards, ceilings), installation of the countertop and backsplash. Bryan's estimate on the length of time to complete the project was true. We will definitely be calling Bryan and his crew for our next home project. You will not be disappointed!"

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!!!"

A small kitchen renovation requires an average of six to nine weeks from start to finish. This timeframe accounts for all phases, including demolition, installation, and finishing touches.
Projects with complex layouts or custom elements may extend beyond this timeframe, especially if you're handling portions yourself rather than hiring professionals. Material availability and contractor scheduling also influence your project duration.
The most efficient approach begins with thorough planning and securing necessary permits. Once preparations are complete, proceed with demolition, followed by rough-in work for plumbing and electrical systems. Next comes drywall installation and painting, then cabinets and countertops. Flooring installation follows, with backsplash and fixture placement completing the major components. This sequence minimizes the risk of damaging newly installed elements.
Replacing outdated appliances during your renovation often proves worthwhile, particularly for units over 10 years old. Newer models offer improved energy efficiency along with enhanced features and reliability.
Modern appliances also contribute significantly to your kitchen's overall aesthetic appeal and can become a selling point if you later decide to list your home. Consider models with energy-saving certifications that may qualify for utility rebates.
Several financing approaches exist for kitchen renovations. Options include personal savings, home equity loans or lines of credit, personal loans, or credit cards for smaller projects. The best choice depends on your financial situation, available equity, credit standing, and project timeline. Comparing interest rates and repayment terms across different financing methods helps identify the most cost-effective solution for your specific circumstances.
