Rumsey Construction & Restoration — Disaster Restoration & Renovation in Columbia, SC (Est. 2011)
Rumsey Construction & Restoration handles a specific corner of the renovation market that most general contractors don’t touch: disaster recovery and full property rebuilds after water and fire damage. Founded in 2011 in Columbia, SC, the company manages the entire rebuild process from initial demolition through structural framing, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, sheetrock, paint, carpet, and custom cabinetry. They work with insurance companies directly and offer 24/7 availability for emergency response calls.
The company has since expanded beyond Columbia and now operates in Charleston, SC, Charlotte, NC, and Augusta, GA as well. They carry a 4.8-star rating from 280+ reviews on Birdeye, with client feedback pointing to responsive project managers and thorough documentation. The BBB profile includes some complaints around communication timelines, which is worth noting for anyone using their mitigation services specifically.

Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews
Rumsey is included for its dual-discipline scope: disaster restoration paired with full interior renovation. Few local contractors can manage a property from emergency mitigation through finish work while also coordinating with insurance adjusters — and in the aftermath of a flood or fire, that single point of contact matters.
