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.

"Because of all the work my house needed i was convinced this would be a long and stressful process but I am shocked at how efficient these guys were! 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

Most Cape Cod houses are two stories tall at the peak, although they’re considered one-and-a-half stories tall because the steep roof pitch cuts off a portion of the living space on the second story. Unless you raise the roof on your Cape Cod house to add a dormer, the interior rooms upstairs will lose some usable living space to the sloped ceilings.

House framing can be expensive because the materials are pricey, and the job requires a high level of expertise. The more complex the plans, the more expensive the job, but even the most basic frame needs to be installed with high-quality materials and precision. When pricing your home’s framework, remember that a sturdy frame is necessary to create a safe structure.

Balcony construction or replacement typically requires a building permit from your local permitting authority. Safety and building integrity are the main reasons for the need to obtain a permit and the subsequent inspections. In some cases, especially cantilevered balconies, your municipality may also require the oversight and signature of a structural engineer.

The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.

It’s sometimes safe to replace a load-bearing wall with a beam, but you need a structural engineer to sign off on the project. You’ll also likely have to upgrade to a steel I-beam or another material that’s stronger than wood to maintain the level of support you need without the wall underneath.
