We were founded in 1996. We currently have seven employees we do a lot of subcontracting work we offer a variety of billing options we do financing we also do monthly payments up to 12 months zero interest
"It started out pretty good. But progressively got worse. The lower level cabinets were not level so the people who put in the countertop had to put a lot of shims in to make things work. Fuget’s Contracting workers did not show up on time. They would say 10am and show up close to 3pm. This happened more times than once. They have no respect for people’s time or their own. I stupidly paid them in full what i thought was the next to last day of work, and they never came back to finish the job. Plumbing is faulty and the sink leaks; Dishwasher is not put in properly; part of the back splash, unfinished. Drawer pulls put in upside down. I now have to hire someone else to finish the job."

Marra Brothers Contracting is a fast growing family owned company established in 2014. Two inspired brothers set out to transform homes in an efficient and affordable style. The Marra Brothers specialize in interior painting, exterior painting, deck building, and basement remodels.
"Avoid. We contracted Marra brothers to renovate our small master bath in November 2019. This would be the second bathroom we contracted them to renovate. We had no major issues with the first bathroom reno in 2019. Work on this bathroom project began in early January 2020. During this time we also contracted them to repaint numerous interior rooms, our railings, some carpentry work on our steps to add risers, and add a door to an office. During the bathroom remodel, in February there was a soft clog in the line and our basement partially flooded. Once cleanup was completed, we also contracted Marra to tear out and renovate our newly flooded basement. During this time from January to May we had numerous issues with sloppiness and general mess that was made, unreliability of workers, quality of work, all of which I addressed repeatedly as the issues arose. When they first sanded no plastic was put up, there are parts of my home where I’m still cleaning even though I was told they would, most of the paint on our railings and some walls has worn off, there are light fixtures and carpet that have paint on them, I requested numerous paint touch ups because areas were missed or painted around yet the touch ups look worse than before the touch up. But the proverbial straw here is what started happening in the bathroom in September 2020 (they “completed” the bathroom at the end of March). In September one of the tiles on the shower floor came out. I contacted Marra Bros and asked them to repair. He said sure. A week went by and no word so I asked again and they came out and used liquid nails or something similar to place the time back in place which of course came out with two days. The tiles have continued to pop out of the shower floor, at this point there are TEN tiles that have come out of the shower floor. The tiles on the bathroom floor have also come loose with cracked grout. I wasted, I mean spent tens of thousands of dollars for all of this work and had them in our home from January until May. The quality of the work depended largely on who showed up or didn’t. Overall they lack good planning and project management skills. Our bathroom tile looks horrible in some places largely because there was no plan and **** poor project management. I’m now working with another contractor so I can spend thousands more to repair the shoddy work Marra did in this bathroom. I will then spend more with a painter to redo their shoddy paint work. At which point I will still probably be cleaning dust from the original project. Find another contractor so you don’t end up like me having to pay a second contractor to fix the “work” that Marra Bros did in our home. I’m sick over the amount of money each time a tile comes lose."

Stucco questions, answered by experts
If it is applied properly, stucco is a durable material that can last between 50 and 80 years, especially with regular repair and maintenance. Things like painting the stucco every 10 years or so will help it last longer. The location of your home plays a big part in the life span of your stucco, too.
When cleaning stucco siding, it is recommended to use a pressure washer with a psi (pounds per square inch) between 1,500 and 2,000. This range provides sufficient power to remove dirt and grime without causing damage to the stucco surface. It's important to avoid using excessive psi as it can chip or crack the stucco.
Using a wider spray nozzle and keeping a safe distance of about seven to 10 feet from the siding helps ensure a gentle and effective cleaning process. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and adjust the psi accordingly based on the condition of your stucco and the specific requirements of your pressure washer.
Fresh stucco on your home can boost your home’s value. Stucco is versatile, fire-resistant, and very durable. Even though having stucco replaced is a big undertaking, it’s cheaper to remove and replace than other materials such as wood or vinyl. If you are preparing to sell your home, buyers would love to know that the home they are purchasing has new stucco that will easily last 50 or more years.
You can use small bits that are up to 3/8 inch in diameter, or larger bits that are 1/2 inch or more in diameter. Make sure the bits you use are coated with carbide or diamond; this information is usually visible on the package. You can also use hole saw bits to drill into stucco.
Late fall is generally the best time of year for installing stucco siding. We don’t recommend hiring a stucco pro to apply this feature when the temperatures are below freezing, so it’s best to avoid applying stucco siding to your home during the winter. However, it’s safe to apply in hot and colder temperatures, so any other time of year is suitable. The spring and summer are the busiest times of year for stucco siding professionals, so you could save money by doing the work in the off-season: the late fall.
