When your home or business in Ponte Vedra Beach is impacted by fire or water damage, quick action matters. At First Coast Contracting, we understand the stress and uncertainty that follow an unexpected disaster. With over 50 years of combined experience in restoration and remodeling, we help homeowners and property managers recover from the effects of fire and water damage with care, precision, and a commitment to quality.
Disasters don’t wait for a convenient time, which is why our team is available to respond quickly to emergencies. Whether a burst pipe has flooded your living room or a kitchen fire has left smoke and soot damage, our restoration specialists arrive ready to stabilize the property, begin cleanup, and limit further damage.
We serve Ponte Vedra Beach, St. Augustine, Jacksonville, and surrounding areas with prompt and dependable service. The goal is simple: get your property back to its original condition—or better—without unnecessary delays.
Every situation is different, but our step-by-step process ensures no detail is overlooked. Here is how we approach fire and water damage restoration in Ponte Vedra Beach:
After receiving your call, we send out a team to assess the situation. We evaluate the extent of the damage, identify safety concerns, and determine what needs immediate attention. This includes checking structural elements, moisture levels, and potential hazards.
In the case of water damage, we start with rapid water removal using professional-grade pumps and vacuums. We then use air movers and dehumidifiers to dry out the affected spaces thoroughly. Preventing mold growth is a top priority during this stage.
For fire-damaged homes, we remove all debris, including charred materials and loose insulation. We clean surfaces affected by smoke and soot using specialized equipment and cleaning agents to prevent permanent staining or corrosion.
Smoke odors can linger if not properly addressed. We use HEPA air scrubbers and odor-neutralizing solutions to clear the air. Our goal is to leave your home clean and free of smoke-related smells.
Once the area is safe and clean, we begin restoring the structure. This can include repairing drywall, replacing flooring, painting, and rebuilding parts of the home that were destroyed. As licensed contractors, we can handle everything from framing to finish work.
Before we close out any project, we walk through the restored area with you to make sure everything meets your expectations. Your satisfaction and safety are our priorities.
There are several companies offering fire and water damage restoration in Ponte Vedra Beach, but we stand out through a mix of experience, service quality, and local commitment.
One of the biggest headaches after a fire or water emergency is dealing with insurance claims. Our team helps simplify the process by working directly with your provider. We assist in documenting damages, preparing estimates, and communicating with adjusters to help ensure a smoother claim process.
We know the homes, climate, and common property concerns in areas like Ponte Vedra Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Nocatee, and Palm Valley. From summer storms to plumbing issues, we’ve handled a wide range of restoration jobs throughout Northeast Florida.
We are fully licensed and insured in the state of Florida. Our technicians undergo regular training to stay current with industry standards, ensuring safe and effective restoration every time.
Unlike companies that only handle part of the job, we offer full reconstruction services. That means we don’t just clean up—we rebuild. Whether you’re dealing with minor damage or a major loss, we manage the job from start to finish.
Throughout the process, we keep you informed. You’ll always know the status of your project, what work is being done, and what comes next. We’re here to answer questions and guide you through each step.
Although we’re focusing on fire and water damage restoration in Ponte Vedra Beach, our service area covers nearby communities as well. If you’re located in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Fruit Cove, Palm Valley, Nocatee, or Vilano Beach, we’re available and ready to help. Our reputation has grown because of our reliable response and consistent workmanship across Northeast Florida.
The longer fire and water damage is left unaddressed, the worse it gets. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure. Smoke and soot can discolor surfaces, damage electronics, and leave lasting odors. Our fast response helps stop secondary damage before it starts, saving time and money on future repairs.
While waiting for our team to arrive, there are a few things homeowners can safely do:
Never attempt to clean or repair major fire or water damage without professional help. Improper handling can lead to injuries or make the situation worse.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
