Every bad headline about a contractor makes it harder for the good ones to earn trust.

In this episode, I sit down with John Castro of Long Island Contractors Roundtable (LICRT) to talk about building a real support system for remodelers—one that blends advocacy, accountability, and education. 🎙️🏗️

We unpack the shift from “great with tools” to “great at business,” why enforcement and access both matter, and how licensing, I-9 compliance, and Department of Labor rules impact pricing, scheduling, and the customer experience. We also dig into the “wall of shame,” the rise of tip-line enforcement, and how to protect homeowners without pushing good contractors underground.

Welcome to Episode 15 of Marcor Studios.

Because the work isn’t just what happens on-site. It’s the system behind it.

Some legacies are built in concrete. Others are built in character.

In this episode, I sit down with my father, Gary Marzano, COO and founder of Marcor Construction, to pull back the curtain on how Marcor began and the values that shaped it. 🎙️🏗️

We dive into the early days of roofing, the challenges of running a family business, and the lessons he passed down to me as both a business leader and a dad that shaped both our company and our lives. From balancing leadership and parenting to building a culture of accountability, Gary shares what he’s learned after decades in the industry.

This episode isn’t just about where Marcor has been. It’s about where we’re headed — and the grit, sacrifice, and teamwork that remain the foundation of everything we do. At the heart of it all is family: the support, the drive, and the integrity that fuel both our business and our legacy.

Welcome to Episode 14 of Marcor Studios.

Because businesses may grow, but family is the foundation.

Building a business is tough. Building a marriage is tougher. Doing both at once? That’s a whole different story.

For this episode, I sit down with my favorite guest yet—my husband, Anthony Farese—to talk about what it’s really like when your personal and professional worlds are always intertwined. 🎙️💍

We share stories from our blind date beginnings, the challenges of working long hours while raising our beautiful kids, and the role reversals that surprised even us. From dealing with tough mentors to building businesses side by side, this conversation is about partnership in its truest sense.

Welcome to Episode 13 of Marcor Studios. Because in the end, the foundation at home is what makes everything else possible.
