When your home or business in Palm Valley suffers damage from fire or water, the aftermath can be overwhelming. From structural repairs to dealing with insurance claims, the restoration process can feel like an uphill battle. That’s where First Coast Contracting comes in. We specialize in fire and water damage restoration across Palm Valley, Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Nocatee, and surrounding areas. With more than 50 years of combined experience, our team delivers prompt, professional, and detail-focused service to help property owners get back to normal as quickly and safely as possible.
Both fire and water damage can create long-term problems if not addressed right away. Fire often leaves behind soot, smoke residue, and compromised structures, while water can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and electrical hazards. Even small issues can become expensive repairs down the line.
Palm Valley’s proximity to coastal weather conditions means that homes here are especially vulnerable to heavy storms and humidity. Acting quickly isn’t just smart—it’s essential. Whether it’s a burst pipe, a kitchen fire, or flooding after a storm, our team is equipped to handle it all with care and efficiency.
At First Coast Contracting, our restoration process is thorough, efficient, and designed to minimize disruption to your life. Here’s what you can expect when you contact us for fire or water damage restoration in Palm Valley:
We respond quickly, 24/7. Emergencies don’t wait for regular business hours, and neither do we. Our team arrives onsite promptly to assess the situation and take steps to stop further damage.
Once the property is secured, we conduct a detailed inspection. We document visible and hidden damage to create a full scope of work. This report can be shared with your insurance company to speed up the claims process.
In water damage situations, we use commercial-grade pumps, vacuums, dehumidifiers, and air movers to remove standing water and dry affected areas. Moisture detection tools help us find hidden pockets of water that could otherwise lead to mold.
After a fire, we clean surfaces and ventilation systems to remove soot and smoke residue. Air purifiers and thermal fogging neutralize lingering odors. Materials that can’t be cleaned are safely removed and documented.
We clean and disinfect all salvageable items and affected areas to eliminate bacteria and contaminants. In both fire and water damage situations, we follow industry standards to ensure your property is safe.
From drywall replacement and flooring to full structural rebuilds, we handle the complete repair process. Our licensed contractors and project managers work closely with you throughout the project, ensuring everything is completed to your satisfaction.
We know you have choices when it comes to restoration companies in Palm Valley. Here’s what makes First Coast Contracting different:
We’re not a franchise. We’re a locally owned company with deep roots in Northeast Florida. Our team understands the unique weather and environmental conditions of areas like Jacksonville Beach, Vilano Beach, Ponte Vedra, and St. Johns. That familiarity helps us anticipate potential issues and plan better solutions.
From mitigation to reconstruction, we handle every part of the restoration process. You won’t need to juggle multiple contractors or worry about communication gaps. We also work directly with insurance adjusters to streamline approvals and billing.
We treat every property like it’s our own. No two restoration jobs are the same, so we customize our solutions based on your needs, timeline, and budget. Whether we’re restoring a historic home in St. Augustine or a newer build in Nocatee, our goal is to deliver results that last.
When your home or business is disrupted, time matters. We work efficiently without cutting corners to restore your property and reduce downtime. Our scheduling, equipment, and staffing levels are optimized for rapid service throughout Palm Valley and nearby areas.
Dealing with insurance can be one of the most stressful parts of any restoration job. Our team helps guide you through the claims process with clarity and transparency. We assist with documentation, communicate directly with your adjuster, and ensure that the scope of work is aligned with your policy coverage.
Many of our clients in Palm Valley, Jacksonville, and St. Augustine have found our insurance support invaluable during times of crisis. We help take the guesswork out of what’s covered and make sure all necessary paperwork is submitted promptly.
Even after the visible cleanup is complete, the threat of secondary damage remains. Moisture trapped in walls or under flooring can cause mold to grow in as little as 24 to 48 hours. Smoke particles can continue to damage electronics and soft materials if not properly removed.
We use advanced monitoring and testing equipment to confirm that every job site is clean, dry, and safe before restoration is considered complete. We also offer post-restoration recommendations to help property owners avoid similar issues in the future, especially in storm-prone communities like Vilano Beach and Ponte Vedra.
Living in Palm Valley comes with many perks—proximity to the beach, quiet neighborhoods, and a strong sense of community. But when fire or water damage strikes, it pays to have a trusted local partner. First Coast Contracting is here to help homeowners and business owners get through emergencies with less stress and more support.
Whether you’re dealing with smoke damage after a kitchen fire or need emergency water extraction after a plumbing failure, our team is ready to help. We serve all of Palm Valley and extend our services to surrounding cities like Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra, Nocatee, and St. Johns.
Immediately. The faster you respond, the better chance you have of preventing long-term damage. We offer 24/7 emergency response for all of Palm Valley and surrounding areas.
Yes, we coordinate with your adjuster, provide documentation, and help ensure that the claims process moves quickly and smoothly.
It depends on the extent of the damage. Water mitigation may take a few days, while full restoration after a fire could take several weeks. We provide timelines up front and keep you informed throughout the process.
We restore residential homes, rental properties, and light commercial buildings throughout Palm Valley, Jacksonville, and nearby areas.
Not always. For minor damage, you can often stay in part of your home. For more extensive repairs, we’ll help you plan accordingly and keep the disruption to a minimum.

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
