  State of Ohio v Shawn Marioth and Marioth Custom Construction LLC Case Number 25 CV 005529
  

  The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the governments allegations, which have not yet been proven.

  
  

  On June 30, 2025, the Ohio Attorney General's Office file a civil lawsuit in Franklin County Common Please against defendants Shawn Marioth and Marioth Custom Construction LLC, alleging that Sunbury-based Marioth Custom Construction and its owner, Shawn Marioth, consistently delayed remodeling services for five consumers who had paid the home-improvement company a combined $44,588. According to court documents, the defendants allegedly:

  
  

      - In some or all cases, Defendant Marioth personally solicited consumers at their homes to contract Defendants for interior remodeling services.

  
  

      - In some cases, Defendants accepted a monetary deposit from a consumer for the purchase of home improvement goods and services and failed even begin to deliver those goods and services and have refused to refund consumers’ deposits or payments. 

  
  

      - In some or all cases, Defendant Marioth personally collected the monetary deposits from consumers.

  
  

      - In some or all cases, Defendant Marioth exercised his control over Defendant Marioth Construction by deciding when to send employees or subcontractors to consumers’ homes to begin or continue the promised interior remodeling services.   

  
  

      - In some cases, after taking payments from consumers, Defendants began to perform home improvement and construction work, including interior remodeling services, but then failed to complete the work. 

  
  

      - In some cases, Defendants provided shoddy and substandard home improvement and construction services, including interior remodeling services, to consumers and then failed to correct such services.  

  
  

     - Defendants represented to consumers that their services came with a warranty guaranteeing the quality of the work done and promised to correct any flaws found in these services at no additional cost.

  
  

      - When consumers asked Defendants to honor the promised warranty or to otherwise to correct flaws in the services rendered, Defendants refused to do so. 

  
  

     - In some or all cases, Defendant Marioth personally communicated with consumers and exercised his control over Defendant Marioth Construction in deciding not to correct shoddy or incomplete work left at consumers’ homes or to deny consumers any relief under the promised warranty.

  
  

      - During their solicitation and sale of home improvement and construction goods and services, Defendants did not properly notify consumers of their cancellation rights under Ohio law, nor did they provide consumers with a compliant notice of cancellation form. 

  
  

  The Ohio Attorney General's office states the lawsuit seeks restitution for those affected by the dishonest tactics as well as civil penalties and injunctive relief.
