Finish Work by Paragon Framers
Tongue & Groove (T&G) Ceilings and Walls
Paragon Framers brings decades of specialized expertise in the fabrication and installation of Tongue & Groove (T&G) assemblies, with projects spanning from modern architectural residences in Scottsdale and Lake Havasu to luxury coastal estates in Newport Beach. Our methodology integrates structural precision with architectural detailing, ensuring dimensional stability and long-term performance.
We execute T&G systems in both antique and reclaimed hardwoods, prized for their patina and structural density, as well as engineered composite materials optimized for dimensional stability, acoustic performance, and resistance to environmental cycling. Every installation incorporates engineered fastening systems, substrate reinforcement, and expansion allowances—delivering not just visual impact but a technically integrated solution engineered for durability and longevity.
Interior Tile Systems
Our interior tile work is defined by precision, performance, and adherence to ASTM and TCNA standards. Partnering with premier suppliers such as Arto, we craft installations that balance aesthetic vision with engineering rigor. Applications range from high-load flooring systems and vapor-sensitive shower enclosures to complex mosaic feature walls requiring millimeter-level accuracy.
We install ceramic, porcelain, glass mosaics, and natural stone, each governed by unique structural and environmental tolerances. Mortars, adhesives, and grouts—including those from Laticrete and comparable manufacturers—are applied within exact performance specifications to prevent delamination, cracking, and moisture intrusion. Beyond installation, Paragon Framers provides technical consultation on material selection, advising clients on the suitability and longevity of each product relative to thermal cycling, moisture exposure, and long-term performance within their specific project environment.
Exterior Tile & Specialty Façade Finishes
Exterior finishes demand engineering solutions that extend beyond appearance. Paragon Framers specializes in natural stone veneers, porcelain panels, and advanced cladding systems, engineered to withstand UV exposure, thermal expansion, wind loading, and moisture cycling.
Our assemblies incorporate structural underlayments, drainage planes, and performance mortars engineered for freeze-thaw resistance and shear strength. Expansion joint placement, anchoring systems, and substrate preparation are executed to manufacturer tolerances from companies such as Laticrete—ensuring every system is validated for long-term performance. Just as importantly, we guide clients through material selection for exterior environments, lending expertise on durability and lifecycle performance under extreme desert heat, coastal humidity, or seasonal thermal swings.
Floor Tiling Systems
Floor systems require precise engineering for load distribution, surface leveling, and wear resistance. Paragon Framers employs laser-guided layout systems and reinforced substrate assemblies to meet or exceed L/360 and L/720 deflection standards, depending on the tile or stone material.
We install natural stone, porcelain slabs, and engineered flooring materials designed to meet the demands of both residential and high-traffic commercial use. Our process includes analyzing compressive strength, wear ratings, and slip resistance to ensure each system is engineered for both beauty and durability. We also provide expert guidance during the selection phase, helping clients evaluate which flooring systems will maintain their structural and aesthetic performance over decades of use.
Why Paragon Framers for Finish Work
Paragon Framers approaches finish work with the same precision and discipline we bring to structural framing: every system is engineered, tested, and executed to manufacturer tolerances and industry standards. We work with some of the most experienced suppliers locally and regionally to secure material quality, reliable availability, and competitive pricing.
By combining engineering discipline, supplier partnerships, and artisan craftsmanship, Paragon Framers delivers finish systems—whether T&G ceilings, interior tile, exterior cladding, or floor assemblies—that achieve architectural vision while conforming to structural science. The result is not simply a finish, but a performance-driven, technically validated solution that safeguards beauty, durability, and value for decades to come.
