The legal troubles for Dave and Jenny Marrs began in 2021 with a lawsuit from Dana and Tyler Craddock, who had tapped them three years earlier to renovate their home for “Fixer to Fabulous.” During the renovation, they were not permitted to inspect the progress to preserve the surprise of the “grand reveal.” A copy of the lawsuit obtained by CBS42 noted that the Craddocks were assured there would be no extensive work that would necessitate permits and clearances. However, at the reveal, the Craddocks discovered faulty repairs and modifications that indeed required new permits. The Craddocks claimed these changes caused damage to their property and demanded $75,000 in compensation. The lawsuit was dismissed the following year, with a judge declaring that the Marrs settled with the plaintiffs.
The Marrs faced another legal challenge in 2023 from Matthew and Sarah McGrath, who had purchased a home built by Jupiter Rentals and Marrs Construction, both owned by the HGTV stars. According to KNWA Fox24, the McGraths were promised a warranty for repairs and had paid for additional upgrades, but “not a single item on the list of repairs had been performed.” To make matters worse, the McGraths discovered further damages after moving in. The Marrs responded by stating there was no breach of contract and that the contract itself was clear on the terms. They also claimed that their inability to perform repairs was due to the McGraths denying them access to the property. This lawsuit remains unresolved, with a trial scheduled for September 2024.
