The first time they did it was fairly sloppy but for the price I did not complain that much. A few months later, the painting on the patio and the front porch started bubbling up and peeling off. I took my time in calling them back because I was involved in taking care of my sick mother, when I called back they don't want to take responsibility at first then they agreed to come back and repaint the porch and the patio. They came back and painted and I gave them a much better review but now several years later, the paint has blistered and peeled off again. I called them about a year ago to let them know and they did not want to come out and fix it. So I was surprised that they have a very good rating with Angie's List and I'm thinking how in the world they got it. Am I the only customer that has problems? If they are willing to come out and do the job, I would use them again but if not, I wouldn't use them again.
Description of Work: They painted around the windows of my mother's house, painted the front porch and the patio.

Response from Marathon Painting
we warrant our work for 12 months, we cheerfully return to complete warranty work, which we have very little of as we try hard to make sure it is completed right the first time. The home has really poor maintenance and upkeep. We really tried hard to make her happy, but now after several years (we completed her work in Dec 2012) there is no warranty available. We gave her a really good price, did a great job, repainted porch as there was a minor bubble or two (some how moisture is getting behind from the surface side), really tried hard to make her happy, and now 6 years later she complains again. Unbelievable to me.

I decided to go with another company that would do both the painting and gutter work. Marathon's price was in line with the other company, but I did not want to have to deal with another company to do the gutters. I had Marathon paint another house on the outside a few years ago and was pleased with their work. They were careful and thorough.
Description of Work: I wanted to have my house painted outside and new gutters installed to replace the old ones. I got an estimate for the painting and removing the old gutters, but the company did not install gutters, so I would have to get another company to do that. Marathon's proposal was printed out in detail to show what they proposed to do. I think they are very professional, and the only thing I would mark them down for was that it took a couple of weeks to get their estimate.

Outstanding performance by this company. Very easy to work with. Totally professional crew...these guys and gals really know how to paint! Always on time, no lollygagging around during the day, short lunch break. Took the time to explain anything we asked about. They gave us very sound recommendations on paint and paint quality and we are very, very pleased with the result. They are methodical and the attention to detail is just great. Would hire them again in a heartbeat. And, they were not the most expensive estimate we got. Family-owned business.
Description of Work: Painted the interior of our 3200 sq ft home, walls only, and the exterior (gutters, dormers, front porch). Power washed the outside, replaced rotted wood on back patio porch, put in new insect screens, stained the wood on the back patio porch. Recaulked all windows. Drywall repair.

They did well. I didn't get a lot of quotes, I figured they were somewhere in the ballpark. I think they were credible. They were punctual. They were professional. They see me online. Someone recommended them to me, so I probably would recommend them based on the recommendation.

The quality of work and supplies used was excellent. Marathon Painting's employees were very professional, courteous, and responsive to our requests. They all worked hard and enjoyed their work. When I had questions they were answered and when I had additional requests they were taken care of. The project was completed in a timely fashion and the end results were excellent. Mr. Bzdell told me to check the work and make a punch list of anything that I noticed that needed to be done. I carefully checked all the work and did notice a few minor improvements that needed to be made. I submitted the list to Mr. Bzdell and he sent one of his employees out and everything was taken care of. Marathon Painting owned by John M. Bzdell will be our choice in the future when we need any repairs or remodeling on our home.

I hired Marathon Painting to paint the exterior wooden portion of my house and to repair some rotted areas of siding and along the soffit and fascia. They were reasonably priced, were very professional in dealing with their management and in doing the work, and did an excellent job. As they were doing the repairs they uncovered more damaged wood than was initially thought. They could've easily puttied and painted over the damage. Instead they were diligent about repairing all the damage. Their work was high quality, and they truly do want to make sure the customer is satisfied with their work -- traits which are frequently hard to find these days. I plan to use them in the future for my painting needs and highly recommend them.

Very quick to respond. Showed up same day for estimate and provided written estimate within 24 hours. Started work on interior within days of receiving a go ahead. Estimate indicated clear understanding of our requirements. All workers were friendly and I felt very comfortable with them on our property, even when we weren't home. Interior job was quick (bonus room) two day job. Cleaned up each evening. Repairs to exterior trim and extensive repairs to fence (replaced about a third of the fence boards) was well done. Including having to chisel out and replace a 4x4 rotted fence post. When the last 2 guys were finishing up and making sure windows were not painted shut, they found that window sills had not been completely/properly painted. Many were still painted shut from a paint job done for previous owner. They got every window open and finished them, apologizing that they were done right the first time. Amazing that they called it to our attention at all since we had already made final payment! I would use Marathon again for any of our painting needs.

I have been pleased with them many times. They did it in about two days. If they had come out in the morning, they could have probably made it in one day, but it wound up being two days. When they came out, it was about lunch time. I was pleased with their work just like I was when I had them come out and do the roof. Actually, they did the roof and they also did other work around the house. The roof was about six-and-a-half thousand, but in total, I had about sixteen thousand total. So, I had about $10,000 additional of carpentry and painting. That was on the first time around. Their pricing is very good. They beat everybody else. I was a little hesitant at first if they do the quality, but they did every bit of the quality. They did not have to be called back or anything. They did pay attention to my needs. The only thing that held them up a few times was when we had several days of rain, but I would rather them wait than come out during the rain.
Description of Work: I had Marathon Painting do some railing at the house. I had railing installed on the steps and also on the porch area.

I'll give them a 99 on the job. They completed the repairs and painting in a timely manner and did a great job of caulking before painting. I'm not sure if they used the quality of paint I was expecting and they missed painting 1 or 2 very small spots that I have found. They failed to repair 1 minor spot of dry rot that I feel should have been repaired. I can take care of the spots they missed in less than 5 minutes with the remaining paint they left. There was one place on the back of the garage where a light fixture had obviously come loose which I wish they had offered to help me repair while they were up there. Technically, it wasn't dry rot, but it would have been easy for them to help me repair while they were up there. I would have paid them for their time. Other than the minor nitpicks above, I am very happy with the job and am considering using them again for a rental home I have. Update: We liked the jobs so much that we had them to also paint a rental home out daughter lives in. While I didn't witness it first hand, I'm told they did extensive repair of the siding which I had no idea needed repair. They could have easily overlooked these repairs but were diligent and honest enough to go ahead and do the job right. Very satisfied.
Description of Work: Contracted with the company to paint my entire 3000sqft home and large detached garage in southeast Huntsville. The home is about 25% brick and the remaining is various types of siding. The contract included the identification and repair of any dry rot (some obvious, some likely hidden) and extensive caulking and the use of top shelf paint. Liked the job they did so much I had them also paint a rental home that our daughter lives in.

It went very well. The workers were punctual and efficient. They did their work and it seemed to me they did an excellent job. I anticipate this paint job lasting at least eight years. I was very pleased with the scope and quality of their work. I will certainly use them again when I need something painted.
Description of Work: Ours is an "all brick" house but we have trim that needed painting. Marathon repaired, scraped, sanded and primed bare wood and then added two coats of exterior paint. They did some extra things as well--like painting downspouts, stair rails, and even installed garage door seals.
