Marathon did an excellent job all around.  My 18 year old roof was at the end of its life so I asked for a bid.  The owner came out and noted that I had hail damage, and recommended that I contact my insurance company.  Sure enough it was covered, which I didn't expect for such an old roof, and this saved me over $12,000 on my $13,500 roof and skylight replacement.  Because their initial bid didn't have the level of detail I wanted, and because Marathon was working with my insurance company to cover more of the damage, I ended up asking Marathon to come out 3 different times.  Each time they were very polite and entirely professional.

I'm so happy with their work that I'm currently getting two more bids from them to replace our windows and the front porch.  Having worked with countless contractors in my lifetime Marathon was definitely top notch, and deserve an A rating.

I’m a first home buyer and didn’t expect to make so many repairs so soon and my budget was not alot and I got so many outrageous estimates but these guys were fair on prices and did a great job I’m pleased to say the least! Thank you Rustic Refined Custom Contracting!"

Lined up another sub-contractor to come by and give estimate to take out wall so I could expand/add kitchen island, but neither the first person I met with nor the sub-contractor followed up with me to provide the total estimate.  I left a message a few weeks later asking for a call back and never received one.

 In the end, whether they could do the work I was asking for or not, had they followed up with me, I would have considered them for my cabinet refinishing work, which I will be doing this summer.  

UPDATE November 7, 2014: The owner of the co got back with me after seeing this review. He went above and beyond to address the poor follow through and put me in touch with another designer who promptly contacted me and drew up some plans. They addressed all my questions and on top of that he even reimbursed the $50 fee. I was very pleased with the recommendation, timeliness and over all effort to make it right."

"I can’t say enough good things about this company. I needed to get my stairs rebuilt as they were dangerous. They delivered. They were the fastest to get on the schedule, best price, and made very quick work of it. They also showed up when they said they would. Exceeded my expectations. Hire them. You will be pleased."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Bump-out additions can add some space to a closet without requiring any significant structural work. This entails pushing back the existing rear or side of the closet, simply moving the wall into either an adjacent room or unused space. For ground-floor closets, this could even be extended to the exterior of the home, but that has its own complications. Bump-outs are a good discussion to have with your contractor if you’re just looking to increase the space a little—not renovate the entire closet space.

Baseboards don’t have to be nailed into studs. However, nailing them into studs adds to their stability. When studs aren’t available, you can secure them with drywall nails directly into the drywall and adhesive. Always aim to nail into studs, especially in high-traffic or impact-prone areas.

Using a steel frame may raise the value of your home. Steel is more heat resistant, has better longevity, and doesn’t need any upkeep compared to traditional wood. You can also customize a steel build a little easier than other materials like brick, concrete, and vinyl—which have trouble bending and adapting to renovations.

It's possible to turn your carport into a living space, but there are additional factors to address over turning it into a garage. HVAC, plumbing, and electricity won't be optional, and you'll need finished flooring, drywall, trim work, and legal ceiling height, for starters. Also, keep in mind that living space conversions may require upgrading the foundation underneath, and the permits might be more expensive as well.
