Morris General Construction

Morris General Construction has done some beautiful work and always does everything possible to make the customer happy. I know because I have worked for Morris General for the past 2 years and know first hand the kind of work and dedication they put out. They were awarded the Pulse of the City News Customer Satisfaction Award in 2015. This means they have a 5 star rating. Check it out on the website

This is by far the worst Construction Company in Memphis. If you want the cheapest, thrown together work, give them a call. We had them do a build out for a brand new The UPS Store in mid-​town, and are still finding faults after multiple attempts to let them fix the work. We gave them a very specific contract that laid out everything that was to be done with exact paint numbers and paint types. Instead of using the Sherwin Williams paint that was specified, they used Home Depot paint and then attempted to cover up the Home Depot paint with a single layer of Sherwin Williams, which caused bubbling throughout the store and paint peeling throughout the store. We also had an issue with consistency, The General Contractor, Bob, withdrew our job foreman mid-​job to take to another job and left the store under a foreman that was left completely in the dark. They pulled permits for things that weren’t needed, and then once something was done he didn’t get the proper sign offs. Now three weeks after the construction crew has left our walls are peeling again and we are noticing that there was only one coat of paint applied directly to the drywall, NO PRIMER was used at all. Our walls are still not flush and the floors are not level. This was the absolute worse experience with a construction company I have ever had. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY UNLESS YOU WANT A CRAPPY JOB DONE. ONCE THEY LEAVE YOU WILL HAVE TO HIRE AN ADDITIONAL CREW TO COME IN AND FIX THEIR WORK!!!

Choosing Morris General Construction as the contractor for my home addition has been literally the worst decision I have ever made in my life. The company hires the bottom of the barrel individuals to come work on your home. They don’t higher well known licensed sub-​contractors. He will sell you a good game in the beginning but after you sign that contract all bets are off.
My tiny 400 square foot addition in cooper young was started on October 1^st 1 2014 and was contracted to be finished on December 20 2014. It is now almost May 2015 and we are far from finished and much of the work is faulty. I have paid him 91% of the payment after the third installment in January and he stopped work after cashing that check. I should have never given him that check! He has 60,000 dollars of my money and i have a home that is still exposed to the elements and a roof that is leaking. Unfortunately i don’t even trust him to work on the house anymore so i had the lawyer send him a cancel of contract. I only write this so that somebody else does not end up in my position. One of the few sub contractors he hired because of code told me that they have stopped doing work for him because they’ve had over 5 customers come back unhappy and complaining and it makes their company look bad. HE IS A JOKE and needs to loose his contractors license. Don’t hire this company! The man doesn’t even have the decency to give me back the money he stole.

BUYER BEWARE!!!
Unreliable (don’t show up, don’t call, or show up hours later than their appointment time – could care less that you work, have a life and a busy schedule that is just as important as theirs).
Dishonest (tried to sneak and cover up shoddy work and convince us that «that’s the way it’s done»), way overpriced (we found out too late), work not done properly, had to be re– done multiple times and they still never got it right.
We just flat-​out got tired of dealing with them and their shenanigans. After the workers continually tried to cover up shoddy job, we totally didn’t trust what they were doing and had to bring in another construction company to inspect their work, then go behind them to fix their poor quality job and finally get it right.
Company puts up a good first impression to coax you to use them, but when it comes down to quality and reliability, I’d use a group of first graders before I would hire this company again.
