They’re as good as it gets. They’ve worked on my apartment several times, and each time they handled very complex jobs with incredible intelligence and skill and professionalism. Solving problems and making my apartment look beautiful in ways that were beyond anything I was capable of imagining. They’re very affordable, also, and they’re great guys. Great to have around. There is probably not a better outfit in NYC.”

Matt and his team worked with me to design a project to beautify my space while still fitting my budget. The team quickly earned my trust and put me at ease because I could see that they clearly care about the quality of their work, not just getting it done.
As the project unfolded, the team met any challenges with good humor and innovative ideas. In the end, the design and work of Paragon transformed my apartment into something much better than I had envisioned going in.”

I went to Lowes and Home Depot for the service I wanted done (build a fence on our plot in Fire Island) and they had all these extra fees which put the price-tag way above their first initial quote. Their treatment of me made me feel like my custom was inconsequential to them and all the signs were there that their workmanship would show it. They didn’t care.
A friend of mine recommended PBA, and I am never going back to the likes of Home Depot. Matt and the rest of his crew at PBA were efficient, pleasant, and really affordable. And above all, the fence was perfect.
Highly recommend.”

Paragon Building Artisans created custom-made furniture for me, including a book case and a table. It was completed in such a timely manner, yet looked like it had taken much, much longer to craft.
I went back and had Matt construct some custom moldings and built in shelving units. They were equally fantastic. Paragon listened to what I wanted and the final product was perfect. The staff is pleasure to work with, and I plan to use this company again.”

I’m a local Architectural & Interior Designer with over 5 years experience and have had the great opportunity of working with Matt and Kevin of Paragon Building Artisans. I was very happy with not only the results but the process.
I have worked on much larger and higher-budget projects with so-called “high-end” contractors and have not nearly gotten as comparable customer service, as I did with Paragon Building Artisans.
Furthermore, due to budget restraints on the project a lot of the details had to be designed on site, and Matt & Kevin were very receptive and intuitively ran with the designs – adding their insights. That’s the most ideal relationship a designer can have, where the contractor and designer combine their knowledge to give the client the best possible product/space.
Their energy and love for their work made the project fun and enjoyable (a rarity in the industry). I hope to work with them again soon!”

Paragon Building Artisans has done work for us both in our home and in our office. Their work has always been on time and on budget and first class. Matt Lee is intelligent and he gets it when it comes to figuring out needs and goals. Can design and/or modify existing designs or work to execute your designs. He did work for my company – built in desks, work tables for our lighting and grip equipment – the finishes were to specs and he came in on budget. He did work for my home- Built in Murphy bed with built in shelves and lighting, a complete paint job of our living room and dining area including painting behind bookshelves (this entailed taking all the books down, painting behind the shelves and putting the books back in order – amazing). I highly recommend Paragon Building Artisans.”

Matt Lee worked, along with Kevin Moccia of the Winged Brushman, completed a $100,000 renovation of a loft in an industrial space in the south Bronx. From walking us through the initial decisions of the project, to carefully setting up the site, to deal with the NYC Dept of Buildings, Matt was patient, skillful, and utterly dedicated to quality. He helped keep our project on a tight schedule and within budget. His skill with wood was really impressive – he did some great molding from recovered Douglas Fir that came out really nice. Highly recommended for your next renovation.”

We have recently completed a major renovation on half of our Brooklyn house, and we are happy as clams. The fine people at Paragon completely transformed two decrepit, unsafe, ugly, barely usable levels of our house. We now have a clean, bright, safe basement that’s ideal for storage and is nice enough to live in (my no-good brother will probably end up down there); and a lovely garden apartment for my mom.
Matt, Kevin and the entire crew worked wonders with the space in just four months. Mom is enjoying her new kitchen, bathroom, sun room, closets, floors, shelves, fences etc. The new plumbing and wiring has finally brought us up to code.
Matt and Kevin were creative and flexible in handling the many snags that are unavoidable in a job this big and complicated.
They were always open to my brilliant ideas, but also provided the structure and discipline I so badly needed. All the guys were incredibly helpful, friendly and a joy to work with. I was actually sad when the job was completed and I had to let them go… Definitely hire them.”
