Paragon Plastics, and specifically Armando, is awesome to work with! Very helpful and knowledgeable. He understood my project and was very helpful in providing the plastic sheet that I needed, cut to the perfect size. I have purchased plastics here before and have always had a great experience! The products are a good value as well! Thanks! read more

Alex Munoz is the RUDEST and most INCOMPETANT person I have ever met. I placed an order and was told it would be in almost 2 weeks ago. I have written and called multiple times and cannot get an answer out of him as to if my items have been received. DON'T TRUST!!! They will take your money and disappear! read more

Amazing place one of the best suppliers for plastic and acrylic components and accessories. If you own a boat airplane or anything that requires specialty materials this is your place. read more

Armando at Paragon Plastics is fantastic to work with. He took the time to help me personally and even walked me through the warehouse to find the exact stock material that met my requirements. On top of that, he gave me an excellent deal. Outstanding customer service read more

Rude, unprofessional, and not helpful. I asked for input on size of material for my window frame and guy at counter said he wasn't a window installer that it was my responsibility to know. read more

Iv been coming to Paragon since 2021 for all of my acrylic needs and not once have I ever been disappointed with the quality of the material or the staff! Everyone who's ever helped me has been extremely knowledgeable and goes above and beyond no matter how big or small my order has been. As a student, Iv also required additional assistance and the level of patience to make sure all of my questions are answered is highly noticed. If you're in the office, ask for Alex! He's amazing! read more

I live in an old apartment built in the 20's, the unit has all casement windows and NO A/C. This makes it very tricky to install any kind of A/C unit. I did some research and found the best way to install a portable A/C unit in a casement is to install a piece of polycarbonate with a cutout hole for the vent. I found Paragon Plastics through yelp, I tried calling and emailing to inquire about my project but had no luck. They do not answer their phones, so I recommend going into the store. Once I made it to the store, Thomas was super helpful. He measured my existing screen and seemed to know exactly what I was looking for. He told me it would be a week and half wait time. But to my surprise it only took 1 week :) The screen was exactly what I was looking for, the dimensions were perfect and the hole for the vent was the perfect size. I am very pleased with the service and product! read more

I wish I could give Paragon Plastics so many more stars! Manager George is the man. We needed several pieces of plastic for a very technical art piece that my daughter is making, and he gave her everything she needed and way more. This place is amazing, and we know we will be back again and again for future projects! read more

Nice folks here and helpful. I got work done for acrylic pieces being installed for one of my restaurant equipment as protection. Will be coming back. read more

Meant to leave a review after my first visit to this place. I forgot to ask them to cut the material when I placed my order so that it would fit into my truck. The guy in the warehouse did it on the spot for me and was really pleasant to chat with. I had the same experience with Olive just now on the phone. I especially like this supplier because they stock a lot more specialty materials than my local supplier. If they were closer, I'd use them more often! I guess I'll need to upsell my clients on custom materials! read more

Excellent customer service and quality! I've ordered several custom items and they are cut perfectly. There are also many choices for finishes and they take the time to explain each. read more

Thomas Dampf was very helpful & courteous when I came in to purchase acrylic sheets. I came back the next day asking for a similar size and he certainly helped me find one. I was so happy with the sheets for its quality & price. Thank you Thomas! Only recommendation for the store would be to have extended hours for the display room; when I went, they were only open from M-F 10-2PM. read more

tldr: Hobbyist friendly, great customer service, able to do custom sizing, quick turnaround for orders, well priced. I've came to Paragon four years ago when I needed a clear top for my sci-fi computer desk. I asked if they can cut me a really long piece of .08in x 34 7/8in x 60 3/8in clear acrylic. They actually did it and the Acrylic fitted so perfectly. Well this year my convertible car's rear window finally cracked. I tried replacing it with clear vinyl from Jo-ann's but that yellowed and cracked in a week. I searched what's resistant to the sun's UV ray' yellowing and cracking effect. Acrylic. That's when I remembered Paragon had Acrylic. I messaged them on yelp and they answered same day and finished my order for pick up the very next day. The speed was quick but what was more impressive was the customer service. You can ask them any question and they would be more than happy to answer. They are also better priced than Home Depot, who barely even caries the sizes I needed. In addition, Paragon are so nice even to hobbyists like me. I would definitely come back time and time again and would recommend to all my hobbyist friends. read more

Based on the reviews, I stopped by on a Tuesday at 3:30pm during business hours to find that the store front was closed. I went around back and found that will-call was still open and the gentleman seemed surprised when I asked if anyone was working up front. I was informed to come back another day, just earlier. Really just wanted to see if they could price me for a larger sheet of 1/4" ABS. I'll give this business the benefit of the doubt and assume this isn't a normal occurrence and that maybe there was a family emergency they had to tend to. Wish I could've given them my business but I opted to visit a local competitor who was able to service my needs. read more

I had a good experience at Paragon I came in to pick up a couple sheets of pvc foam for a couple automotive projects that I was working on and they had exactly what I needed. I would recommend paragon to anybody who fabricates things or has a need to purchase plastics for hobbies or professional use. I didn't really know what to expect from the staff walking in but when I asked a couple questions the man working there was friendly and quickly got me headred in the right direction. After was said and done I was happy I decided to go in instead of rolling the dice and getting a product that I was unfamiliar with online. read more

They have almost everything that u need. Friendly staff, good prices and a variety of choices. read more

Did a search for custom acrylic and found Paragon Plastics. I reached out for a project for showroom. We needed over 600x PVC/Sintra dividers with a custom angle, and over 100x acrylic backplates for out hardware. I worked with Jose and he provide great service. I got my quote in a timely manner, and received a sample to test that very next day. Not sure if it was a slow time for them, but they finished my job FAST. Much faster than other companies estimated, it was within days, not weeks! Out of all the acrylic/plastic companies, they had the best overall reviews, they were competitive in price, and they were local to us. I was very aware of the negatives reviews and knew what potential problems could arise. I am happy to report that my measurements were accurate and precise and they finished way ahead of schedule. I highly recommend them and would do business with them again. PICTURES OF MY CUSTOM JOB COMING SOON... read more

Great business with great people. I've been coming here for years all the way from the Inland Empire and they always willing to help. They always have usefully scraps or overruns too. Highly recommend to check them out. read more

Olive makes this place! She is always cheerful and helps me get exactly what I need. The assortment of acrylics is great, I especially like the scraps for$10/lb. The new marbled acrylic is so eye catching and perfect for my laser. This is definitely the place to shop for acrylic!!! read more

The staff were super accommodating. We needed a plastic shield for our register at the restaurant with a pass through for money/cards, etc. They were very busy at the moment and quoted a couple of days, but since it was urgent, they sold us a floor model and it looked great. Thank you for helping us! read more

Excellent customer service and communication. Summer is fast approaching which means a bad time if you don't have central AC. Paragon Plastics cut a piece of polycarbonate to fit my casement window perfectly for my portable AC unit. I had drawn a janky sketch of the measurements that I wanted for the window, and when they were unsure of a particular detail they called me up to confirm what I wanted. I was impressed that they took the time to confirm with me rather than just taking a shot in the dark. read more

I was looking for some giant sheets of plastic to build a protection screen during the Covid-19 outbreak and they had a lot of large sheets of polycarbonate on hand. These are much thicker and more durable than the stuff they have at Home Depot. Granted you need a truck to get the piece I ordered, but if you have power tools and you are willing to do the extra work the project is definitely much more economical. If you don't have the time, or tools, they do offer custom orders as well. read more

I came in for a one-off project piece and the staff was pretty indifferent to me. The cost of the piece was high, and it was more fragile and easy to scratch than I had been advised. read more

Wow! What a great selection of plastics. All I needed was a scrap piece of frosted or milky plastic for a project. Since it was a mock up project I wasn't too particular about the dimensions or thickness. They had what I wanted and gave me a great price. I don't really the gentleman's name, but he was very helpful and nice. Btw my mock up turned up great! I used a jigsaw to cut the 1/8" thick piece, which was pretty easy but one cut was a little wavy while the other one was pretty straight. read more

I've been buying my ABS panels through Paragon Plastics for several months now. This company is professional, efficient and well priced. Today, I placed an order over the phone and had my wife pick up the products later that day. They made sure everything was organized and ready to go and also helped load everything in her car. 5 star service and I would highly recommend Paragon Plastics to anyone. read more

I am constantly in need of large and small pieces of plastics for projects and jobs. They have a good selection for anyone to just walk in off the street get pieces to build and create cool stuff. Bargain bin is a plus. Every time I go in however, it's the same guy behind the counter and he's always rude. I take my business elsewhere now. read more

Great customer service. I was able to place my order over the phone and pick it up the next day. Piece of acrylic was cut exactly the way I wanted it. Very happy with the transaction and will keep coming back to this business. read more
