The people behind HGTV's Fixer to Fabulous are at the forefront of an ongoing lawsuit. The HGTV reality show follows a couple, Dave and Jenny Marrs, who renovate homes in their native Bentonville, Arkansas. Dave specializes in crafting and contracting, while Jenny is focused on creating welcoming interiors.

Marrs Construction and Jupiter Rentals were hired for work on a house for a couple in Arkansas, Matthew and Sarah McGrath, a husband and wife who claim that they entered into a contract with the Marrs companies that was later broken.

The suit claims that the defendants...
