What we do
Our most commonly requested renovations, all handled by one owner-operated team — residential and commercial, across Columbia and the Midlands.
Kitchens are always the hub of the house, so you want them comfortable and inviting with the proper storage and cooking space. Let us evaluate your space and offer suggestions that provide the most impact.
Next to kitchens, bathrooms are equally important. Maybe you just need to update your tile and countertops — or create the spa-like atmosphere you’ve always dreamed of, including modifications for aging or accessibility needs.
Sometimes you need a little more space added to an existing room; maybe you have large-scale needs such as a new master suite or a second-floor addition. Whatever the case, we can help.
Outdoor kitchens, screened porches with fireplaces, decks and patios offer space for socializing and a retreat for relaxing. Outdoor living spaces should capture the personality of your house and complement your home.
Alongside residential work, we provide the same services for businesses in the Columbia, SC area — helping you build, repair and expand your office space or customer-facing business.

Master bath restoration
We used Palmetto Construction & Renovations to remodel our kitchen in Spring 2021. We had a great experience with Jim and his team! They were very good with communication — not only were they responsive, but I also could trust what they told me as far as budget and timeline. Their work was impeccable! Overall, an excellent experience, and we’re thrilled with our new kitchen!

Kitchen remodel, Spring 2021
We hired Jim Evatt of Palmetto Construction and Renovations to do a complete remodel of our master bath. The work was done with great care, attention to detail, and professionalism. He is a very good communicator: we always knew what was going to be done and when. Jim’s employees were excellent — they worked hard each and every day and never took short cuts. Our finished bathroom is absolutely gorgeous and so well constructed.
