When property damage threatens a home or business, speed and workmanship play a critical role in how quickly life can return to normal. Paul Davis Restoration of Greater Columbia provides a single, seamless path from the first emergency call to complete reconstruction. The locally owned, family-operated, minority-owned team combines certified expertise with a people-first approach, delivering clear communication, dependable timelines, and results that aim to meet real-world needs. The company’s technicians are trained to industry standards, and the leadership group brings over 30 years of combined restoration experience to every project. Their mission is straightforward and focused: to deliver thoughtful care when it matters most, while adhering to integrity and ethics at the core.
Comprehensive Care From First Call to Final Reconstruction
Many restoration providers stop at cleanup. Paul Davis Restoration of Greater Columbia operates as a true one-stop solution. The same team that answers the phone in an emergency can handle water and fire mitigation, contents care, mold remediation, and manage full-scale reconstruction to return the property to pre-loss condition. This single-source accountability reduces handoffs, minimizes delays, and strives to keep quality consistent throughout the process. For homeowners facing the stress of a burst pipe or kitchen fire, and for facility managers responsible for occupied spaces, the ability to move from mitigation to rebuild without switching contractors can help ease a significant source of stress.
Certified Expertise Guided by Decades of Experience
Every project is overseen by certified professionals who adhere to the standards of the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). This foundation supports precise moisture mapping, safe demolition and debris removal, and scientifically informed drying plans. The team combines technical rigor with careful service, protecting unaffected areas, controlling dust and noise where practical, and opting for eco-friendly options when appropriate. The leadership’s three decades of combined experience are reflected in the details that matter, from setting expectations on day one to coordinating specialty trades to help prevent delays.
Speed, Communication, and Quality Without Compromise
In restoration, minutes can make a difference. The company offers 24/7 emergency response, with weekend appointments available upon request, and is accustomed to program and third-party administrator workflows that demand timely documentation and reliable timelines. Clients receive clear scopes of work, updates that are easy to understand, and a schedule that considers the needs of households and business operations. Workmanship is backed by a guarantee, with full warranty and extended warranty options available on qualifying repairs. The goal is to provide professional service at every step, with a team that treats each property with care.
Insurance Claim Support That Reduces Stress
Insurance coordination can be challenging, especially when damage interrupts daily life. Paul Davis Restoration of Greater Columbia manages the process from the beginning, communicating with carriers, providing the documentation adjusters need, and working toward an agreed scope and price. The company participates in multiple preferred vendor programs, meaning it has been vetted by many major insurers. The result is a smoother path to settlement with fewer surprises for property owners. For commercial losses, the team offers competitive time-and-materials options that align with the scale of business needs.

Large-loss residential fires create complex challenges that go beyond surface damage. The structure, electrical, mechanical, and life-safety systems may all be affected. Because Paul Davis Restoration of Greater Columbia manages every phase, from emergency board-up to final finishes, the team helps bring order to a difficult situation. Detailed project planning, code compliance coordination, and a focus on restoring both function and comfort help families reestablish their homes with confidence.

Commercial Solutions That Keep Business Moving
For commercial clients, downtime can be costly. The company’s commercial restoration process is customized to each facility, whether that means phased work areas, after-hours scheduling, or communication protocols to keep stakeholders informed. The goal is to minimize disruption while meeting safety requirements and quality benchmarks. From multi-tenant properties to retail, office, and light industrial spaces, the team adapts to unique site conditions and operational needs.
Neighbors Are Taking Notice
Local reviews reflect how these standards are applied in real jobs. One homeowner shared a straightforward summary of the experience: “Timely response to a very unforeseen issue. Remediation efforts were timely, and cleanup was as discussed. Appreciate Brent’s follow-up and willingness to work with us under emergency conditions,” wrote Mike Young. Another neighbor highlighted both technical skill and care during a stressful situation: “Justin and his crew were impressive during the water mitigation phase of my home emergency. He, Brent, and Guy were knowledgeable and were available to answer any questions. They went beyond expectations to ensure that every nook and cranny was inspected for water damage. I would highly recommend Paul Davis for any of your property restoration needs,” wrote DJ Johnson. Sheila Jones echoed that professionalism and respect after a bathroom leak, noting that the technicians were friendly, courteous, and thorough, and even swept up when they finished. These voices underline a culture built on responsiveness, knowledge, and follow-through.
What Property Owners Can Expect
Clients can expect a consultation to understand the scope of loss, a written plan that outlines what will happen and when, and a single point of contact who remains accountable throughout the project. For homeowners, this might include contents cleaning and careful pack-out to protect valuables. For businesses, it may include mitigation strategies that allow part of the operations to continue safely while restoration proceeds. In every case, the firm’s goal is to combine speed with craftsmanship so the restored space looks right and performs well.
