Paragon Surfacing

Every star in this review is solely the result of Dave, the guy who actually built my excellent sinks. It would be a one star review without him. He is *the* guy to interact with at Paragon, no one else knows what they are talking about and they will overcharge you if they can.
I remodeled my bathrooms and these are specially built sinks lit underneath by LED strips (see in my photo). The sinks are made from a Corian-​type material, and I spoke with two separate employees at the shop and explained what I wanted and they both said that they «build these all the time» and that it would be «no problem.» There was no confusion about what I wanted. We were holding color samples up to a light box.
The product is ordered in 12 foot sheets. I gave a deposit, bought a 12 foot sheet, and arranged for a time for someone to come out and measure my sinks. They sent a kid out who had painted the back of the product, making it opaque, thus preventing the light from getting through. He said «this was the only way they could do it.»
I disagreed.
A month later, Dave comes out. He understood immediately what I wanted and said the company had only done it once before, for a bar in New West. There was some back and forth, and I was fairly stressed since it was now two months after I’d given the deposit and the rest of the reno was getting started.
But Dave built absolutely glorious sinks for me, really, really attractive, and exactly what we had discussed. Dave is terrific.
I got the sinks after some more shenanigans about delivery times and all was well. But, there should have been plenty of scrap left over from my 12 foot sheet and I wanted some for another application. They were incredibly slow to get back to me if/​how I could get this material, and then they charged me $ 200 for what my contractor and I later realized was probably 5 minutes of cutting with a regular circular saw.
I understand that Paragon might have lost some time/​money on my job, what with needing to send someone out to measure twice because the first guy didn’t understand/​accept what I was wanting. And, I am certainly at fault for not locking down a price for the cutting before it occurred.
All in all, even though I am very happy with the end look of what I got, I would not do business with Paragon again. There were just too many «miscommunications» and the costs kept creeping up. For anyone who wants to give this kind of look a try, though, Dave is your man. If you start and finish with him, you’ll probably be okay.
