What this listing says
Columbia and Rock Hill homeowners who want a single veteran-owned team to handle water damage, mold, and reconstruction without subcontractors or franchise overhead.
Best for
- Columbia Midlands and Rock Hill homeowners dealing with water damage or mold who want one company from emergency response through reconstruction.
- Homeowners who had a pipe burst or appliance leak overnight and need a crew on-site within an hour, including weekends and holidays.
- Buyers who want a veteran-owned, independent company rather than a franchise operation, with the owner directly involved in their project.
- Mold situations discovered during home sales or inspections where fast turnaround matters for closing timelines.
- Post-storm or hurricane damage across the Carolinas, where Edmondson deploys mobile response teams beyond their normal service area.
About this company
Edmondson Restoration operates out of two offices in Columbia and Rock Hill, South Carolina, covering the Midlands and Charlotte Metro. Jim Edmondson, a Navy veteran, founded the company in 2018. His son Kyle runs day-to-day operations as Vice President and holds a general contractor license. They handle water damage, fire damage, mold, storm damage, and full reconstruction with their own crews rather than subcontracting.
On the mold side, they do both testing and remediation in-house. Steve Rebl handles business development and mold assessments. The website describes their process as inspection with moisture meters and thermal imaging, lab-based air and surface sampling, containment with negative air pressure, HEPA air scrubbers, and antimicrobial treatment. They reference IICRC S520 standards for mold work. The company also holds NORMI membership (National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors) and belongs to the Restoration Industry Association.
The Edmondson family runs this as an independent operation, not a franchise. David Edrozo serves as General Manager with 30-plus years in restoration. Alonzo Sampson manages mitigation from the Columbia office; Reggie Keith does the same from Rock Hill. The team has grown since 2018 but remains family-controlled.
56 Google reviews at 4.9 stars with zero one-star reviews is unusual for a restoration company. Most of the review volume comes from water damage jobs in the Columbia and Rock Hill markets, with a smaller cluster of mold remediation reviews. The consistently high marks center on communication, speed of response, and Kyle's direct involvement in projects.

Review consensus
Kyle Edmondson is the most frequently named person across reviews, praised for communication, responsiveness, and staying involved from estimate through completion. Bill Sims noted Kyle's crew corrected issues left by a previous contractor and finished on schedule. Steve Rebl draws praise for fast response on mold assessments, with Kaylee Cuthbertson and Mary Kate Korpita both noting he showed up within 24 hours and explained findings clearly. Alonzo Sampson and Cody are named together in multiple reviews for water extraction work, described as hardworking and courteous. Reviewers repeatedly cite fast response times (Jean Likes reported 30-minute arrival for a weekend pipe burst) and strong insurance coordination.
0 found across 56 total reviews at 4.9★. (0 found across 56 total reviews at 4.9 stars) No one-star reviews exist for this company. One four-star review from Madison McCorkle (January 2026) described process frustrations during a project but was updated after Kyle reached out, took accountability, and resolved the issues. The updated review notes they reached a mutual understanding. No specifics about the original complaint survive in the updated text.
Kyle Edmondson's name appears in roughly half of all text-bearing reviews, an unusually high rate that suggests he stays personally involved in most projects rather than delegating to crews. This direct-owner involvement likely drives the high ratings but could become a bottleneck as the company grows. The review base skews heavily toward water damage; mold-specific reviews are a smaller sample.
Kyle Edmondson (Vice President, owner — overwhelmingly positive across many reviews for communication and project management). Steve Rebl (VP Business Development, mold assessments — positive, praised for speed and clear explanations). Alonzo Sampson (Mitigation Manager, Columbia — positive, named in multiple water extraction reviews). Cody (technician — positive, paired with Alonzo in water damage work). Reggie Keith (Mitigation Manager, Rock Hill — positive, praised for scheduling and thoroughness). Hunter (technician — positive, praised for water extraction work). Joshua (technician — positive, noted alongside Hunter). Nestor (technician — positive, noted in ceiling leak response). Jackson (reconstruction crew — positive, praised for flooring and custom bookshelf rebuild).
This is a small, owner-involved restoration company where Kyle Edmondson personally touches most projects. If you hire them, ask for Kyle's direct involvement in your mold job and request Steve Rebl for the initial assessment. The lack of negative reviews is notable but the total count is still modest at 56, so keep your own documentation thorough.
Keep in mind
- Edmondson does both mold testing and mold remediation. A company that tests for mold and then sells you the remediation has a financial incentive to find problems. Consider getting an independent test from a separate inspector.
- Their service area stretches from Aiken, SC to Charlotte, NC to Asheville, NC. Aiken is 60 minutes from their Columbia office. If you are on the edges of this territory, confirm response times for your specific location before committing.
- Most reviews focus on water damage work. Mold-specific reviews exist but are a smaller portion of the total. Ask for mold remediation references from your area.
- The website claims insurance carrier approval but does not name which carriers. Ask which insurance companies they work with directly and whether your carrier is among them.
