Tennessee Drywall Company

DO NOT HIRE!!! This review is lengthy, but overall I would not EVER hire Ron Parrish or his team again. They were unprofessional and above all their workmanship was poor. Tennessee Drywall Company was initially prompt to return calls and emails and came out quickly to give me an estimate on a 12 x 18 room with two doorways getting wrapped and finished with drywall. He quoted me $1800 over email on 6/13/21 but stated he would need to come out to look at the room to give me an exact cost. He stated he needed a week notice for the job. On 8/5/21 I contacted him to come to my home and he stated he could come that day. He came later that day and told me that estimate would stand at $1800. On 8/6/21 I notified him that we would be hiring him for the job and he agreed on the start date of 8/18/21. He stated he would be done by 8/24/21 and they would not work on the weekend which would work for my schedule. On Friday 8/6/21 he stated he was going to order the drywall Monday which would have been 8/9/21. On Sunday 8/15/21 he stated he would need the first half of the money so and he would order the drywall. He was ordering 9 foot drywall to decrease the number of seams he would have to tape. I commented that I thought he was ordering last Monday and wanted to be sure he was still on schedule for Wednesday which he assured me he was. On 8/16/21 he came and picked up a $900 check that he said the bank would not cash for him stating “I always have problems with bank of America”. I gave him $900 in cash and he gave me a receipt. He made multiple phone calls and was unable to get anything delivered due to the short timeline. In order to keep the timeline I told him I would help carry the drywall in the house if he would like to keep us on schedule. He pushed back multiple times on the timeline and stated he couldn’t get the rock he needed and his drywall hangars would be by on Friday, 2 days after the original start date but assured me he would have it done on Tuesday 8/24/21. On Thursday 8/19/21. He brought 2 loads of drywall that I helped carry and place in the house. On Friday 8/20/21 the drywall hangars showed up to hang the drywall. It was hung quickly however they left all their mess lying on the floor and did not clean when they were done. They threw scraps of drywall in the backyard in the wet grass and left all the small scraps laying in the middle of the floor along with the dust and their empty red bull can. Ron was supposed to tape at 12:30 that same day but did not show up until after 2pm. They stayed late and stated they put a double coat on it and would be back Monday 8/23/21 to touch up and would sand 8/24/21. I told him his hangars didn’t clean up their mess and left all the scraps in the backyard. He stated they do not haul away the waste and they told me that. I do not think this was mentioned but maybe it was so I let it go. On 8/23/21 they showed up late again but put another coat on the wall they told me 0930 and then didn’t come until 1130. When they left they tracked drywall mud over my hardwood floors. On 8/24/21 at 1027, Ron texted me to ask if the mud was dry and I told him it was. He said he would be over about noon. He again told me he was going to be late and didn’t show up until shortly after 2pm. I was working in my garage and trying to stay out of the way but noticed it didn’t sound like they were working in the house. I went to check on them to see if they needed anything and I caught one of the crew trying to shove bare wires into my outlet because his plug had broken. Not only is that unprofessional, it is also dangerous. I provided him and his crew tools to fix their sander which they fixed and used. The sander did not have a vacuum attached and drywall dust was EVERYWHERE. When he finished the drywall it was dark in the room as he had declined to use the light I offered to provide him. The overhead lights were not yet installed. I wasn’t until the next day when I was getting ready to clean the walls and paint that I noticed how poor of a job he had done. I had paid him the remaining $900 when he left the night before. There were so many raised spots, tape coming through, and extremely poor work done. They had hung plastic to stop some of the drywall dust. They stapled it into my finished hardwood floor and into the wall they were finishing. They left the staples in the wall along with plastic still sticking out in some spots. I could’ve given a toddler the drywall tools and they would’ve done a better job. I texted him on 8/25/21 that there were a lot of spots that needed to be either fixed or touched up and he stated he would be by around 2. He then later stated he would not be done with his other job until 2:30pm and would be by around 3pm. He texted me at 2:34pm to state he was at my house I told him my significant other would be home in 10 minutes he left to run errands as we were told 3pm. He was not at our home when my significant other came home which was before 3pm. He has also declined to answer any phone calls or texts from my significant other or I. This man has absolutely ripped us off and I will be sure everyone know what shoddy work he does. I would be embarrassed of this poor workmanship. I can support all claims of terrible workmanship with photos and all poor professionalism with text messages. Also for reference, they did not clean any of their drywall dust up. I didn’t see a vacuum at all or even a broom. As well as their broken plug and trash were lying in my driveway. I have held up every end of my deal. DO NOT HIRE!!!!!
