Frequently Asked Questions

Is Paragon Kitchen's custom?

At Paragon Kitchens', we have been creating unique environments, each as individual as the client themselves, for over 25 years.  All our kitchens are custom designed to fit your specific wants and needs and custom manufactured to fit your specific space requirements.  Paragon Kitchens' allows you to tailor your project to your specific style by selecting from hundreds of different door styles and finishes.  Paragon Kitchens' is designer custom cabinetry.

What’s the advantage to working with a kitchen dealership?

Paragon Kitchens is a dealership, meaning we offer cabinet lines produced through larger manufacturers.  The benefit is that Paragon Kitchens is independent, and can recommend to you the cabinetry line that best serves your own individual wants and needs.  All of Paragon Kitchen’s cabinetry is custom made to our exact specifications using computer controlled pieces of equipment, and finished using state-of-the-art environmentally secured clean rooms.  The end result is a quality and consistency that small and medium sized shops cannot match.

My kitchen is x by y.  How much would a new kitchen cost?

How much is a car per pound?  There is no correct answer to this question.  It depends on what is contained within that foot (or pound, as the case may be).  A bank of drawers with complete storage solutions will cost more then a simple door/drawer combination, and yet less then an integrated pantry unit.  Companies that quote per linear foot will quote the most economical cabinet (full height cabinet, no drawer) to determine this figure.  However, every Paragon kitchen is tailored to your individual wants and needs, and then designed to fit your unique space and project budget. 

Why do you need to know my budget?  Shouldn’t you tell me how much the kitchen is?

It has been said that a kitchen renovation is limited by but two things, your imagination, and your pocket book.  With the sheer amount kitchen choices and options, it is very important that you and your designer have a budget to work towards.  Cabinet line, wood species, door style, finish, finish options, interior features, layout, cabinet composition, and many more factors go in to determining the final price for your kitchen; and that’s just the cabinets!  Our average kitchen ranges from $30,000-$50,000, but we have completed beautiful kitchens for our clients ranging from $15,000 to $100,000+.  A rough starting point for your budget is 10% to 20% of your home’s current market value.
