What It Means to Be an Award-Winning Contractor at J.Ross Painting & Drywall
“Award-Winning. Community Driven. Locally Owned.“
At J Ross Painting & Drywall, those aren’t just words we throw on the side of a truck or the footer of our website. They’re a reflection of how we work, who we serve, and what we stand for.
If you’ve heard us called an “award-winning contractor,” we want to give you a better idea of what that actually means. More importantly, we want you to understand what it means for you—whether you’re a homeowner getting your kitchen redone or a general contractor managing a major commercial build.
Award Winning Painting Contractor
Painting has been at the heart of what we do since day one, from detailed residential painting projects to large-scale commercial painting jobs. Over the years, this commitment to quality has earned us recognition at both the national level and right here in our local community. These awards aren’t just about the final look—they’re about the process, the professionalism, and the trust our clients place in us from start to finish.

What It Takes to Get Here
We don’t do the work to win awards. We do the work to meet our own standards—and those standards are high.
Our process is built on a few things we won’t compromise on:
- Experienced leadership: Jeremy Yates, our founder and a Kingsport native, started this company with a simple belief: do great work, treat people right, and never cut corners.
- Skilled, in-house crews: Our Mustache Mavericks are full-time team members who train hard and know their craft.
- Detail-driven work: Whether we’re painting a steeple or finishing drywall in a new commercial build, we bring the same care and precision to every job.
- Pride in the result: It’s not just about completing a project—it’s about being proud of what we leave behind.
