December 2023 Newsletter - Marathon Products Utilized in Tri - Main Center Project
In this edition we showcase a project in Buffalo, NY & a residential home in Puerto Rico. Also, check out our featured SE Series Wood Joint Pedestals & see how Marathon put a twist on celebrating the holidays with employees!
I have been using your SE series pedestals for about 2 years now and love them. I was using a different brand that would take me approximately 2-4 minutes per pedestal to install. With the SE pedestals I have cut down my installation time by 50% in most cases. I installed 5000 square feet in 2 days with 4 guys using the SE pedestals. This would take me 4-5 days using another pedestal brand. A 600 square foot roof top would take me 13 hours to finish, I finished it in 6 hours with 3 guys. Using your pedestals is like printing money on these jobs.
Thank you for your support and product.
