Nominated for 2008 Phoenix Award - Chosen as one of only 10 companies
in the country for such an honor.
 On
October 6th, 2006 Paragon was called to restore a 1924 Italian
Renaissance two story brick home located in a historical area of
University City Missouri. The home had sustained severe fire damage
to the exterior and the interior. The fire burned the deck and rear
Bonus Room completely off of the main structure. The fire then crept
up the rear of the home and through the original slate roof.
The project began in
November, 2006 and was completed in November, 2007. The difficult
thing about this particular fire was that at the request of the
insured we were asked to restore the home as close to the original
state as possible. There were a few modern upgrades added but for the
most part we were able to grant her wishes.
We went to great lengths
to achieve this goal.
The entire interior was a
full gut to framing. We had to rewire, re-plumb and install new ducts
and piping for the boiler system. We reused every existing radiator in
the home. We even reinstalled plaster and quartered and rift sawn
select Red Oak hardwood flooring.
All of the doors and
windows still had the original hardware, hinges, locks, latches,
screws and locking rods. We detached and labeled every piece in the
entire structure. We then had them all stripped and re-brassed. We
then reinstalled them to their original windows and doors. This saved
the insurance company from having to try to get them matched.
This project put us among the elite in the industry and it is an honor
to be nominated for a 2008 Phoenix Award.
Pipes Break, Church Floods -
Paragon Assists
(KSDK) - A north St. Louis
Church is pumping out water and trying to salvage its facility. At the
Antioch Baptist Church, the sprinkler system froze, broke and flooded
the church. A church custodian arrived Tuesday morning to find more
than two feet of water in the basement. The water also damaged the
church's new sanctuary that's only four years old. It could be
Wednesday before all of the water is out, and it could be weeks before
the church is back to normal.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL:
This is a formal "THANK YOU" to
you and your staff at Paragon.
On January 21, 2008, the
impossible happened. Our church flooded. When we entered the
building on Tuesday, January 22, 2008 we were devastated.
Our Insurance Agent Ellis Bell
was contacted and he called Paragon. Your staff came immediately and
started to work. Michael Burns evaluated the situation and calmed my
nerves. He has been there every step of the climb and we want you to
know that we appreciated his compassion as well as his professional
manner.
I want you to know I personally
thank you and Mike for making that every effort to restore what our
congregation thought was lost. May God continue to bless you and
Paragon Certified Restoration.
Sincerely,
Elaine Smith
Church Administrative Assistant
