Meet Dave and Jenny Marrs

Dave Marrs

Dave Marrs was raised in Kiowa, Colorado, and helped his father build houses in his hometown. He is a contractor, builder, craftsman, and handyman. Marrs loves to restore old homes and bring out their charm. He competed in Rock The Block season 3 with his wife but failed to win the show.

Dave attended Colorado State University from 1997 until 2001. He also owns the Fayetteville Marrs Construction with Jenny. He even runs a blueberry farm in Northwest Arkansas, which gives “orphaned and at-risk teenage boys” a chance to educate themselves.

Jenny Marrs

Jenny Marrs is a designer and home renovator who works with Dave on Fixer to Fabulous. She runs a company called Marrs Developing, where she renovates some of the historic homes in Arkansas. Jenny specializes in designing spaces and making creative decisions in renovations.

She has no degree in the same but has studied marketing and public relations in college. Marrs also runs a blueberry farm with her husband.

Jenny Marrs claimed to have been Dave's "sugar mama" for 6 years

The couple moved to Arkansas in 2004 after quitting their corporate jobs in Chicago and Nashville, respectively. They lived in a rental apartment and shared a car. Soon Jenny started another job and supported Dave for six years. She once claimed that being his "sugar mama" and supporting him felt like it went on for six years.

She said that she kept a "real job" so that the couple had insurance and someone who could sign loans for the houses while Dave continued building. Dave admitted that while they were broke at the time, they had “the most fun” together.

HGTV approached them with the idea of the show Fixer to Fabulous in 2016 but they were busy raising their kids at the time. After refusing to shoot for the show, another producer reached out to them and convinced them to join the series.
