Description of Work: The work that was done was done well but when I was given the estimate I was told that the whole chimney would be acid washed and my chimney would look like new. After the work was done that story changed and only the areas that they did the work was acid washed. I would use them in the future, but I would make sure all of the pre work promises were included in the bid. Overall it took him a long time to do the work and not all promises were fulfilled but what they did do was done really well.

Response from Marathon Masonry Inc
Here is a customer that never mentioned a word to me about being unhappy. The only thing that was mentioned about the acid washing was that the homeowner (or renter) said that he knows what acid washing looks like. I explained we acid washed the chimney and actually the whole fireplace. The house was probably built in the forties or fifties. Having been exposed to the weather and being smoked stained all those years, there is only so much you can clean. Never promised that the job would look brand new, but did promise a thorough and correct repair. That is exactly what he received. The fireplace is one of the nicest things on the exterior of his house. Wish he would post pictures of the work, as they would speak for themselves. I never even met [Member Name Removed] , I just dealt with the person who was living in the house. Not sure why I was given a "D" rating on my pricing. I gave him a bid and he acknowledged everything on it, including the price. The final price was the exact same as the bid. If he did not like the price I'm not sure why he hired me. [Member Name Removed] also says an "f" for responsiveness. When we agreed on the work to be done I said it would be done with in a month, and that we would not do it in the rain. All this was in the contract. [Member Name Removed] also mentions that the final job looks good and he would hire me again. I would pass on the work. I don't like the fact that he agrees to the price then rates me a "D" on my price. I also don't like the fact that he hides behind a keyboard and complains, being he never once called or met me in person on the jobsite. Either this house is his rental house or he is doing a report on Angie's List for a friend. I called the homeowner to see when the bill would be paid, because it was over two weeks past due, and that is when he asked about the acid wash. Rather then calling me when he had a question, the homeowner waits until I contact him about the bill. Another reason I would pass on any future work with him. I have been in business 17 years. I know masonry quality masonry work and masonry pricing. He got a GOOD deal on BOTH. Adam Luchs, Marathon Masonry,Inc.

Very good. I have no complaints.
Description of Work: Work done: floor to ceiling fireplace refacing and partial rebuild of ledge hearth.The only problem I encountered: the communication via e-mail was not working smoothly at the very beginning. However, once we were connected, Adam and his assistant, Rene, were very professional. The estimate for the fireplace stone refacing was fair. They arrived on time and did an excellent job. I am delighted with the new look of my fireplace! I would definitely hire Marathon Masonry again.

This was an exceptionally pleasant experience at every step of the way. Adam provided an estimate quickly, was able to perform the work just a few days later, and did an excellent job in every respect. He discovered a structural problem with our existing fireplace during the demolition work, and was able to rectify the problem quickly and with only a minor added cost. He is a consummate professional mason, and a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: Adam removed the brick facing and hearth from our existing masonry fireplace and repaired the fireplace structure in preparation for us having a gas fireplace insert installed in the old masonry fireplace.

This company was recommended by another mason who was too busy to complete our job by our due date. I called and left a message and received a call back within an hour. Adam came out to take a look at our fireplace that same afternoon. I told him what we wanted and he offered a few different options to think about. He also offered ways to save money. He completed the work in one day and kept everything very clean. Our fireplace looks exactly how we imagined it and it looks beautiful. If we ever need a mason again, we will definitely call Marathon Masonry.
Description of Work: Thin brick was installed over existing fireplace face.

Our basement walls our ICF. I talked to few masons and ended up choosing Marathon Masonary because Adam was the only one who called the ICF field engineer to find out the best way to attach the bricks to the walls. He understood all the details before starting the job. His bid came out to be detailed and his price was somewhere in the middle. After starting the job we were not happy with how the morter looked. We wanted it to look like another house we had seen. He went to see the house and after understanding what we wanted, he redid his previous work and made it look even better than the other house. Adam made many visits to the site to clarify different issues for concrete person. He was at all times very friendly and helpfull. He did a great job and I get lots of complement for our brick walls.
Description of Work: Adam covered two exterior walls of our basement with brick. He created 2 planters attached to the walls.
