			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>As featured in January 2009 issue of St. Louis Home Magazine</strong><br />
<a href='http://paragonstl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/phoenix_rising.pdf' target="_blank">Click here</a> to view photos and article written on how Paragon Certified Restoration restored this historical home. </p>
<p><img src="http://paragonstl.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/phoenixanim.gif" alt="phoenixanim" title="phoenixanim" width="250" height="187" class="alignright size-full wp-image-44" />On October 6th, 2006 Paragon was called to restore a 1924 Italian Renaissance two story brick home located in a historical area of University City Missouri. The home had sustained severe fire damage to the exterior and the interior. The fire burned the deck and rear Bonus Room completely off of the main structure. The fire then crept up the rear of the home and through the original slate roof.</p>
<p>The project began in November, 2006 and was completed in November, 2007. The difficult thing about this particular fire was that at the request of the insured we were asked to restore the home as close to the original state as possible. There were a few modern upgrades added but for the most part we were able to grant her wishes.</p>
<p>We went to great lengths to achieve this goal.</p>
<p>The entire interior was a full gut to framing. We had to rewire, re-plumb and install new ducts and piping for the boiler system. We reused every existing radiator in the home. We even reinstalled plaster and quartered and rift sawn select Red Oak hardwood flooring.</p>
<p>All of the doors and windows still had the original hardware, hinges, locks, latches, screws and locking rods. We detached and labeled every piece in the entire structure. We then had them all stripped and re-brassed. We then reinstalled them to their original windows and doors. This saved the insurance company from having to try to get them matched.  This project put us among the elite in the industry and it is an honor to be nominated for a 2008 Phoenix Award.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(KSDK) - A north St. Louis Church is pumping out water and trying to salvage its facility. At the Antioch Baptist Church, the sprinkler system froze, broke and flooded the church. A church custodian arrived Tuesday morning to find more than two feet of water in the basement. The water also damaged the church&#8217;s new sanctuary that&#8217;s only four years old. It could be Wednesday before all of the water is out, and it could be weeks before the church is back to normal. </p>

<p>After a large house fire in Park Hill damaged a residence, all contents were lost due to the bad smoke residue. All the homeowner requested was that we try to salvage Henry the dog (The sons favorite toy). We gladly brought it back to our facility to clean free of charge. The before pictures don&#8217;t do the damage justice since the entire dog was badly faded due to the smoke. The after photos show a restored, clean, deodorized, and happy Henry, ready to go back to its owner.</p>
