30 years of exceptional service and high quality products.

Born in West Virginia, home improvements became a part of Ed Augustine’s life at a very young age. Ed’s father was a remodeling salesman and Ed joined the industry himself as a teenager, beginning at the age of 16. By the time he turned 25 years of age, Ed found himself newly married and a Junior Partner at a regional home improvement company in the mid-Atlantic area. In October of 1991, his first son was born and six weeks later, he and his wife, Caren, opened Paramount Builders, Inc.  After 32 years in business, Ed has successfully grown Paramount Builders to include six offices. Specializing in exterior residential remodeling, the company offers replacement windows, vinyl siding/trim packages, and total roofing systems. In an industry being overtaken by franchises and private equity, Ed remains steadfast in maintaining his own corporation and being true to the core values he believed in almost 40 years ago. Ed and Caren reside in Virginia Beach. The couple has three children, all married, and 6 beautiful grandchildren.
