Dave and Jenny Marrs, hosts of HGTV’s “Fixer to Fabulous,” have reached a settlement in a remodeling lawsuit just before the case was due to go to trial. The lawsuit, which was filed against their companies, Jupiter Rentals and Marrs Construction, by Matthew and Sarah McGrath, accused the Marrs of failing to complete agreed-upon home improvements.
According to court documents, the McGraths alleged that despite agreements, the Marrs did not complete enhancements including the installation of cabinet hardware, replacement of broken windows, and repairs to hardwood floors in the kitchen. The complaint highlighted that as of late August 2022, none of these tasks had been addressed satisfactorily, with some attempted repairs resulting in further damage.
In their defense, the Marrs claimed that they were denied access to the property by the McGraths, which hindered any progress on the necessary repairs. The conflict escalated to the point where court-ordered mediation was required, though it was ultimately unsuccessful.
On the brink of a courtroom showdown, the parties reached a settlement agreement just days before the scheduled trial date in January 2024. While the specific terms of the settlement were not disclosed, court filings indicated that all pending claims were resolved to the satisfaction of both parties, pending finalization of the agreement.
This lawsuit emerged just as the Marrs’ show entered its sixth season, highlighting their ongoing work to restore classic homes in Arkansas. “Fixer to Fabulous” has not only been a platform for showcasing their construction and design skills but also a significant chapter in their careers since its premiere in October 2019.
The resolution of this legal matter closes a turbulent chapter for the Marrs, allowing them to continue their focus on renovating homes without the looming stress of litigation. It also serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges that can arise in the home renovation business, even for television personalities.
