Our Story
Brandon Jensen started Paragon Homes with a desire to build the high-end homes of people’s dreams. Too often, he heard stories of people getting taken advantage of by their builder, hating the home-building process, and going way out of the original scope. To ensure a harmonious relationship and a smooth home building process, they developed the Paragon Plan. So what’s different about this compared to other builders? LOTS of front-end time, work, and energy spent by the Paragon Team to capture the full vision and scope of their clients. When expectations are properly addressed upfront, both Paragon and their clients are set up for success! This, paired with their 20+ years of experience in the construction industry, is why Paragon Homes is considered one of the premier home builders in Utah.

Paragon Custom Homes has an unstoppable team, who work hard to help their clients realize their dream homes. Together, they set out to change the home building experience in a positive way. They have a passion for helping people and believe that being transparent and setting expectations upfront, will ensure a better home building experience for everyone!Brandon Jensen
General Contractor
Brandon started in construction at 17 years old. Over the last 20+ years, he has gained valuable experience that has translated into a better home building and remodeling process for his clients. Anyone who knows him, describes him as one of the most hardworking, detail-oriented, and passionate people that they know. His attention to detail, expectation for quality, and impressive people skills are just a few of the reasons why people love working with him. A few of his hobbies include working out, finding new plants for his yard, traveling, reading, fishing, and discovering new things to challenge himself.

He has been an integral part in pushing Paragon to adopt and implement this technology, improving overall productivity and efficiency. Gordon’s personality, smile, and can-do attitude are a great asset to Paragon and our clients.

LET'S DO THISFrequently Asked Questions
The cost of building a home can vary greatly depending on what you are looking for. We can walk you through this during the Paragon Process and put together a detailed estimate to help you understand the cost.
The typical construction process takes 12-24 months; however, just like cost, the timeline of building a home is something that can depend on numerous factors. Once the plans and scope have been established, we will put together a project timeline and keep you updated along the way.
