Ashley provided appliance recommendations and then coordinated with our appliance supplier all the details to ensure a good fit with the design, including a custom survey concept we had with a wine bar. Ashely followed through with each stage of the kitchen installation process, ensuring every detail was addressed and decisions made on time to keep the project on schedule. > The cabinets, countertops, and hardware quality is some of the best I have seen, and Paragon's installation team makes the whole experience wonderful. I have worked with many trade professionals, and Darrell is among the most professional and skilled. His attention to detail is second to none, immaculate, and clean. Darrell coordinated all details and ensured the counter installation met his expectations and quality. > Mary ensured we were satisfied with every step and helped us when needed. It was evident that the service that Paragon demonstrated was consistent from the ownership right through to all their employees. > The Paragon experience exceeded our expectations, and we would recommend them to everyone. We are now planning our next washroom renovation and won't hesitate to call the team at Paragon. **★★★★★ — Andy Smart, Nov. 2021** > We have a new Paragon kitchen as of August 2021. We are so pleased. Our experience with all of the team at Paragon was positive and enjoyable. From the planning stage to the installation and completion, they were reliable and expert. > Paragon’s use of their design software was so helpful; their presentation room and screens make the project tangible from the outset. They listened to and incorporated our ideas and needs, while offering their creative, modern and functional expertise. The final renderings were accurate and the outcome is wonderful. We are proud of our Paragon kitchen and are enjoying it greatly **★★★★★ — Barb and Gabe Ferrazzi, Sept. 2019** > We hired Paragon Kitchens when we bought a little bungalow that needed a complete renovation and we couldn’t be happier with that decision. Aileen and Mike transformed our tired, dark little home into a place that truly sparks joy! Their attentiveness to details, ability to really listen to their clients, creativity, sense of style, enthusiasm and ability to solve problems is second to none. In addition to their incredible talent, they and everyone that works for them, are the happiest, friendliest people you can find, making them incredibly approachable should any concerns arise. They managed to make what can be an extremely daunting undertaking a fantastic and fun experience. Bravo, Paragon Kitchens! **★★★★★ — garagesalegirl71, April 2019** > Our experience with Paragon was amazing. Before visiting Paragon, we had ideas of how we would design our new kitchen but the kitchen plans they created were far beyond what we ever imagined! Michele and Aileen were so attentive and helpful throughout the entire process. We enjoyed our meetings with them and appreciated their expert advice. It’s been over a year since our renovation and we’re still excited about the beauty and functionality of our kitchen. **Comment from Paragon Kitchens:** > Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with Paragon and for entrusting us with your renovation! Your project was a lot of fun, and the transformation was incredible.. We miss our weekly meetings and still talk about all the delicious treats you'd bring to each one! Such a pleasure working with you and Shaugn, and we're thrilled you're enjoying the new space. > > Thanks again, > Michele. Aileen and the Paragon Family **★★★★★ — Elizabeth Furlong, March 2019** > We are so pleased with our new kitchen! Michele and her team made the process easy, from the selection of our new cabinetry and countertop, to arranging the contractors, helping us select appliances suitable for our space, and selection of paint, floor, and other design elements. Paragon's extensive kitchen set up at their shop allowed us to see the different options available. > > The installers were friendly and professional, and completed the installation within the expected time-frame. Although the cabinetry is white, any spots and fingerprints are easily wiped away. Our Cambria (Skye) countertop is easy to clean, and makes for an eye-catching and unique focal point of our kitchen. > > The kitchen design transformed not only our kitchen, but the entire main floor of our home; opening up not only the kitchen, but also the living room. The open-concept allows for much easier entertaining, and a greater enjoyment of the space. **Comment from Paragon Kitchens:** > Thank you so much for the thoughtful review of your experience with Paragon! We all had such a wonderful time working with you and Jason on your project, and are thrilled with the transformation of your space. So happy to hear you are enjoying it!! Thank you for entrusting us with your renovation - I'll miss our meetings! :) > \- Michele **★★★★★ — Margo Beckmann, Sept. 2018** > Excellent service. They were professional, attentive to our needs, and worked to make this large renovation relatively painless. Michele and Aileen were a joy to work with. Their creativity resulted in a beautiful space. We can't compliment paragon and their team of contractors enough. From our initial meeting in their showroom to the final reveal our experience was positive. We would highly recommend Paragon. **Comment from Paragon Kitchens:** > Thank you so much for the kind words, Margo! You and Fred were a pleasure to work with as well, and we are thrilled to know you enjoyed the experience with the Paragon team, and the final outcome of your space! **★★★★★ — Arden Carter, Sept. 2018** > My husband and I recently built our dream home and having dealt with numerous tradesman and suppliers we can say with certainty that PK is among the best. > > To make a long story short, here’s some of what we liked best: > 1\. Consultative process. Aileen and team truly listen. We had a vision, but it took some work to bring it to life. Aileen and Mike worked through multiple iterations, 3D renderings and showroom consultations to ensure it was perfect. > 2\. Trusted source of knowledge. They ask questions – lots of them. Having us ‘move’ into the room early in the process is an eye opener! They understand how people use (or should use) their space. > 3\. Beautiful products. Can’t say enough about Miralis cabinets. Made in Canada, innovative materials, great quality and style at various budgets. > 4\. Details, details, details. Critical for a well laid out and functioning space – bulkheads, plumbing, electrical outlets and hardware. So many things could have gone wrong if not well planned! > 5\. 1st class installation. Darryl and their team of carpenters far exceeded our expectations with their attention to detail and professionalism. They even saved our marriage when my husband instructed them to drill into the cabinets in the wrong place. With an emergency call and quick dispatch the holes were seamlessly fixed. > 6\. Pride in design and craftsmanship. Aileen, Mike and the entire team take pride in their work. They are thoughtful and build their knowledge from every job. > > We are so proud of our home and know that the Paragon team was instrumental in bringing our vision to life. Highly recommend! **★★★★★ — Ernest and Wendy Stross, Sept. 2018** > We hired Paragon to renovate our kitchen and master ensuite. It was a major renovation and a first for us. Mike and Aileen were great to work with. As with any renovation project, issues arise but Mike and Aileen were there to address and resolve them. In the end, our project is more beautiful than anything we could have imagined. Every time we walk into our kitchen, we get a thrill at how stunning it is. We would work with them again in a heartbeat. **★★★★★ — Gail King, June 2018** > We recently had a kitchen Reno completed with Paragon. I cannot say enough positive things about this amazing group of people. Aileen, Mike & team have exceeded our expectations. The end result is an amazing kitchen & utility space we love. **Comment from Paragon Kitchens:** > Thank you so much for the kind words, Gail! It was such a pleasure working with you and Gary - we had quite a few laughs along the way! I'm happy you love the process and the final product! Big hugs to Lulu! - Aileen **★★★★★ — Wendy & Dave Eastman, March 2017** > We are very happy with our renovations from Paragon. Great staff to work with. They gave us many options and catered to what we wanted. The contractor and install team were very efficient, professional and respectful. The project started on time, with minimal delay along the way. Any adjustments/modifications (during and after the renovations) were quickly taken care of. Highly recommend Mike and AIleen at Paragon. **Comment from Paragon Kitchens:** > Thank you so much for your very kind words, Dave and Wendy! It was great fun working on your project! It was quite the transformation - you now have a better than brand new home!! **★★★★★ — Interior Illusions Inc, Dec. 2016** > I am an Interior Designer, my company Interior Illusions, Mississauga. I have had the pleasure of working with Paragon Kitchens for many years and projects. A family business that is truly devoted and talented in creating wonderful designs. From the first meeting, all through the very visual presentation, to installation with perfection. All my clients enjoy the experience and are more than happy with the end result. They work with my design ideas for the overall look and do their magic creating, I highly recommend the Paragon Kitchen family. **★★★★★ — Randy, Oct. 2016** > Our path to Paragon Kitchens came about as a recommendation of the contractor hired to assist us with our kitchen renovations. His suggestion of visiting Paragon Kitchens proved to be a perfect move. From the time of our first visit the Paragon team made us comfortable with the process. Mary and team took the time to gather a complete picture of our objectives, ideas and concerns. They went to work using a rich resource of knowledge and experience to construct a plan which both enveloped and embellished our hopes. An accurate outline of the steps involved and a timeline that was maintained were put in place. The resulting renovations reached and surpassed our original plans. The new space is a delight, meeting all our objectives of a practical working kitchen in which it is a pleasure to work, live and relax. We cannot thank enough everyone at Paragon, especially Mary and Bob whose professionalism and talents have made a challenging time into a pleasant and rewarding experience. ## Selected projects - [First Line Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/first-line-kitchen-pj-vj~6306169) -

It's a natural material so colours may vary from block to block, but essentially it's grey veining with a white-gray background. **Q: Range hood and cabinet spacing** *(in Photo Questions)* Could you possibly tell me the distance from the corner of the hood and the cabinet beside it please? We are building a new house with the range on the angle like this, and are having major challenges figuring out how to design our custom hood and how it should interact with the cabinets on each side. Our architect wants to close the space but we envision something "freestanding" like this. We know this means the cabinets have to pull away from the hood. I'm willing to sacrifice some cabinet storage for the right look, but obviously want as much cabinet as possible. You have a beautiful kitchen with many thoughtful features here! Thanks for any insight and help you can provide. A: Hi Gina, The kitchen in the photo is 8+ years old, and we no longer have the 2020 design file to confirm the distance from the corner of the hood to the corner of the wall cabinet. What we can confirm is the 30" corner range in this kitchen required ~ 49 1/2" of space out of the corner (this will be plus or minus depending on your box depth of your cabinetry.) The hood in the kitchen photo is ~ 34 1/2" wide (at the widest point) and ~ 21" deep (at the deepest point). The wall cabinet to the right of the range was designed to line up with the base cabinet below it (again, ~ 49 1/2" out of the corner). This cabinet is ~ 14" deep, including the door. We hope this information helps - good luck with your build! Regards, Paragon Kitchens **Q: Love the wall clock. Where can it be purchased? Thank you** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi mjz0202, The clock was purchased by the clients and I'm unsure of where it's been sourced. **Q: What is the width of this unit?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Hi there, thank you for your question! The width of this unit is approximately 60". Hope that is helpful! **Q: Colour Cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* What is colour of the cabinets? A: Hi Evan, Arctic White is a special formulation by our custom cabinet manufacturer, Miralis. It has some gray tones in it that give off-white a more contemporary feel. **Q: Edge Profile please!?** *(in Photo Questions)* Please what is the edge profile of the Torquay countertop? A: Thank you for visiting Paragon Kitchens on Houzz! This is the Seacliff micro bevel edge on the Torquay countertop. Hope that is helpful! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
