Joseph Sumpter, Owner / Custom Remodeling Contractor
Born with the heart of an entrepreneur, Joseph began working with his hands building and creating structures for family and neighbors when he was a teenager. By college, he had refined and perfected many skills repairing and maintaining homes for community and faculty members to earn money.
After receiving a Biehl Grant in his junior year in college, Joseph completed a three-month study of rural sanitation and rainwater collection systems in Venezuela. Joseph received his bachelor’s degree in political science with an emphasis in the politics of water, from the University of the South in 1997. His new passion to design and build rain water collection systems and incorporate them into home remodeling projects was born.
Today Joseph has his own remodeling company that revitalizes historic homes, provides custom remodeling and renovations to existing homes, offers rain water collection and drainage system options, and improves and protects the whole health of homes. In order to achieve the highest quality product and in consideration of homeowner lifestyle and comfort, Joseph works closely with clients to create results that exceed their expectations. All phases of projects are completed by skilled craftsmen hand chosen and trained by Joseph.
“I enjoy leadership development, problem solving, and creating. I consider my most important job to provide exceptional client service and quality control. Each project is completed with care and precision in a positive environment where our team leaders and members treat everyone with dignity and respect. When you love what you do, where you work, and who you work with, of course anything is possible. I thank God for the wonderful team I have to work with.”
