Marathon has been serving Prince George and the surrounding areas since 1975

leading the market with new and innovative products and equipment. Initially Marathon just provided eavestroughing but over the last two decades the company has added vinyl decking, aluminum and glass railings, patio covers, leaf and snow guards, and most recently aluminum fencing, to our growing list of high quality products.

Is it too hot on your deck? Do you want to still BBQ on the rainy days? Maybe you should consider getting an aluminum patio cover.

Deck & Rails

To keep your vinyl sundeck looking its best, keep area clean off rotting vegetation example: leafs, potted plants etc. If you do want potted plants on your deck make sure you keep moving them around and not keep them in the same place. Also never use cedar planters or cedar furniture on your deck. The best thing for you BBQ is to place a drip pad under it. It is also always good to re-caulk any appropriate areas on your deck.

Eavestroughing

There is no doubt about it; spring is the time of year that you think about your eavestroughing the most with all the snow melting. To ensure that your eavestroughing is working to its maximum potential, it is best to inspect all the flashing and shingle overhang. Check to see if your downspouts are properly attached to the outlet from the eaves themselves, the heavy snow and ice can sometimes detach them. Also make sure that your downspouts extensions are attached so that the water is flowing away from your house foundation. Taking soapy water and a soft cloth will bring back the original finish of your continuous eavestrough without having to paint them.
