Products We Sell & Install
What products does Marz and Associates sell and install?
Marz and Associates is a Division 10 specialty contractor. We sell and install lockers and locker room benches, toilet partitions and urinal screens, washroom accessories, visual display products such as porcelain whiteboards and fabric tackboards, tackable wall systems, wire mesh partitions, security gates, and exterior sun screens for commercial and institutional buildings across Wisconsin.
What types of lockers do you offer?
We supply metal lockers, wood and laminate lockers, phenolic lockers, and solid plastic (HDPE) lockers in single, double, triple, and multi-tier configurations, plus athletic and team lockers. Options include ventilated doors, sloped tops, built-in benches, and dozens of powder coat and laminate colors. We are a certified dealer and installer for Penco, Republic Storage, ASI Storage Solutions, Wisconsin Bench Manufacturing, Ideal Products, Summit Lockers, and Scranton Products.
Which toilet partition materials are available?
We install solid plastic (HDPE) partitions from Scranton Products, powder coated steel partitions, and stainless steel partitions from ASI Global and ASI Accurate. HDPE is the most popular choice for schools and high-traffic restrooms because it resists moisture, dents, graffiti, and rust and carries a long manufacturer warranty. Steel is the value option, and stainless is chosen for a premium look.
Do you sell washroom accessories like hand dryers, grab bars, and dispensers?
Yes. Our online store carries commercial washroom accessories including automatic hand dryers, grab bars, soap dispensers, toilet tissue dispensers, paper towel dispensers, sanitary waste disposals, coat hooks, and custodial accessories such as mop racks. Items are surface mounted or recessed and are built for commercial restrooms. Larger accessory packages for new construction are quoted as part of a project.
What are visual display products?
Visual display products are the whiteboards, tackboards, and bulletin boards specified in Division 10 for classrooms, conference rooms, hallways, and healthcare facilities. We offer porcelain enamel steel markerboards, fabric wrapped tackboards, and combination boards in standard and custom sizes, with trim options such as slim trim and marker trays.
What is a tackable wall system?
A tackable wall system is a fabric wrapped, pin-friendly wall panel that turns an entire wall or a large section of wall into a durable bulletin surface. The FabricMate systems we install are site-fabricated to fit the wall, accept repeated tacking without damage, and also add acoustic and wall protection value in schools, offices, churches, and hospitals.
What are wire mesh partitions used for?
Wire mesh partitions from Folding Guard and Acorn Wire & Iron Works are used for machine guarding on production floors, secure tool cribs and storage cages, tenant storage lockers in apartment buildings, server and equipment rooms, and dividing warehouse space. Panels bolt together in modular sizes and can include hinged or sliding doors, service windows, and ceilings.
What kind of security gates do you install?
We distribute and install Folding Guard and MobilFlex security gates, including folding gates, side folding grilles, and rolling grilles. They protect storefronts, pharmacies, concession stands, schools, and warehouse openings while keeping the area visible. Gates can be manual or motorized and are sized to your opening.
What are building sun screens (sunshades)?
Exterior sun screens, also called sunshades or sun control devices, are aluminum blade systems mounted above windows or on rooftops to reduce glare and solar heat gain while adding a modern architectural look. We supply and install Arrow United Industries systems with horizontal or vertical blades in flat, airfoil, tubular, or slanted profiles, engineered to each project.
Are your products ADA compliant?
Yes. Our partitions, grab bars, hand dryers, dispensers, and locker layouts can all be specified to meet ADA and Wisconsin accessibility requirements, including accessible stall sizes, mounting heights, and reach ranges. Tell us the project type and we will confirm the compliant configuration and mounting heights before we order.
Installation & Project Services
Does Marz and Associates install the products you sell?
Yes. Installation is our specialty. Our own crews install lockers, partitions, accessories, visual display boards, tackable walls, wire mesh, security gates, and sun screens, so one company is responsible for the product, the schedule, and the finished result. We also supply product only when a general contractor prefers to install.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Shawano, Wisconsin, and serve the entire state, including Green Bay, Appleton, the Fox Valley, Wausau, Oshkosh, Sheboygan, Madison, Milwaukee, Eau Claire, and Northern Wisconsin. Online store orders ship anywhere in the United States.
Do you work with general contractors and architects?
Absolutely. Most of our work is performed as a Division 10 subcontractor for general contractors on new construction and renovation projects, and we regularly assist architects with product selection, specifications, and submittals. We also take on private projects directly for schools, businesses, and property owners.
Are you a union or non-union contractor?
Marz and Associates is a non-union, open-shop specialty contractor. That gives our customers flexibility, competitive pricing, and dependable scheduling on projects of every size.
How do I get a quote?
Use the Quote Request form on our website, call (715) 787-4540, or email info@marz.build. Send plans, a product list, or even photos and rough dimensions and our bid specialist will put together pricing. For bid projects, send the drawings and spec sections and we will return a formal proposal.
How long do lockers or partitions take to arrive?
Lead times depend on the manufacturer, material, and finish. Quick-ship stock lockers and standard partition colors are often available in a few weeks, while custom colors, phenolic, wood, and engineered sun screens take longer. We confirm the current lead time on every quote and schedule installation to match your construction timeline.
Can you replace or repair existing lockers and partitions?
Yes. We replace worn out partitions, doors, hardware, and locker banks in existing buildings, and we can often match or upgrade what is there. Renovation work is scheduled around your operations, including summer break for schools and off hours for businesses.
Do you provide submittals, shop drawings, and specifications?
Yes. For commercial projects we provide manufacturer submittals, color charts, shop drawings, and installation details for architect approval, and we help write or confirm Division 10 specifications during design.
What warranty comes with installed products?
Products carry the manufacturer’s warranty, which ranges from one year on many accessories to long-term warranties on solid plastic partitions and lockers. Our installation workmanship is covered by the terms of your project agreement. If something is not right, call us and we will take care of it.
Can you help me choose the right material or layout?
That is a big part of what we do. Tell us the building type, traffic level, moisture conditions, budget, and look you want and we will recommend the right material, configuration, and manufacturer, then confirm dimensions on site before ordering.
Online Store & Orders
What can I buy in the online store?
The online store carries in-stock commercial washroom accessories, custodial accessories, and visual display products such as porcelain whiteboards and fabric tackboards. Lockers, partitions, wire mesh, security gates, sun screens, and installed work are quoted separately through the Quote Request form.
How do I place an order?
Add products to your cart, click checkout, enter your billing and shipping details, and pay by credit card. You can check out as a guest or create an account to save your addresses and view order history. You will receive an order confirmation email as soon as the order is placed.
What payment methods do you accept online?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover through our secure Intuit (QuickBooks) Payments gateway. Your card is charged at checkout and your card number is never stored on our website.
Do you charge sales tax?
Sales tax is calculated at checkout based on the shipping address. Schools, municipalities, and other tax-exempt organizations can enter their exemption details during checkout or in their account; we may ask for a copy of the exemption certificate.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Shipping is calculated and displayed at checkout before you pay. Most in-stock accessories ship within a few business days and arrive by ground carrier. Large or heavy items may ship freight, and we will contact you if delivery arrangements are needed.
How will I know when my order ships?
You will receive a completed order email when your order ships, and we send tracking information to the email address on your order. You can also log in to your account to view order status.
What is your return policy for online orders?
Contact us within 30 days of delivery. Unused stock items in original packaging can be returned for a refund, less return shipping and any manufacturer restocking fee. Custom, special-order, and installed products are non-returnable. Defective items are handled under the manufacturer warranty. Please get a return authorization from us before shipping anything back.
Do you offer contractor or volume pricing?
Yes. If you need quantities for a full restroom package, multiple buildings, or ongoing maintenance supplies, request a quote and we will provide project pricing rather than the individual web price.
Can I order a product that is not listed online?
Yes. We have access to the full catalogs of the manufacturers we represent. Send us the model number or a description through the Quote Request form and we will price it for you.
Is it safe to order on marz.build?
Yes. The website is secured with HTTPS encryption, payments are processed by Intuit rather than on our server, and the site is protected by a web application firewall and daily backups. We do not sell or share your personal information.
