When a fire impacts your home or business, the stress, uncertainty, and mess can feel overwhelming. Smoke, soot, structural damage, and the smell left behind affect your property’s safety and livability. First Coast Contracting specializes in professional fire damage restoration in Orlando and nearby communities. We deliver thorough, code-compliant repairs that put your property back to normal—and restore your peace of mind.
First Coast Contracting brings more than 50 years of combined experience to each fire damage project. Our teams serve homes and businesses in Orlando, Winter Park, Lake Nona, Kissimmee, St. Cloud, and surrounding areas. We understand local building codes, HOA requirements, and safety regulations. Through years of responding to emergencies in Orlando and nearby cities, we’ve refined a process that combines technical skills, strong customer care, and transparent communication.
What sets us apart is our full-service approach. From securing your property after the fire department has finished to handling every step of restoration, we guide you through the process. Our certified technicians cover every trade—electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry—so you don’t have to coordinate multiple vendors. Your project is managed by a single point of contact who keeps you informed every day.
As soon as you reach out after a fire, we aim to arrive quickly, often within hours. Our team secures the property with board-up services and tarping broken windows or damaged roof sections. We also shut off utilities and identify any structural hazards to protect residents, pets, and belongings while preventing weather or vandalism from causing further damage.
Next, our certified fire damage specialists inspect every part of your home, from the attic to the basement. Smoke and soot don’t just affect surfaces: they infiltrate walls, ductwork, fabrics, and appliances. We document the damage with photos, diagrams, and notes to share with your insurance company. This step ensures every issue is accounted for, avoiding delays or coverage disputes later on.
Since fire often brings water damage from hoses or sprinkler systems, we start by removing standing water using pumps. Commercial-grade dehumidifiers and air movers then thoroughly dry the structure. In humid climates like Orlando, this step is critical to prevent mold growth and protect building materials long term.
Our teams employ specialized cleaning techniques to remove soot and smoke from walls, ceilings, floors, and belongings. Surface residues are tackled with professional-grade cleaners and sponges, while more challenging soot stains are treated with chemical sponges and alkalis. We also clean HVAC systems, replace filters, and deodorize air ducts to eliminate hidden smoke and protect indoor air quality.
We coordinate content restoration at our facilities, where technicians clean and deodorize furniture, fabrics, and personal items. Smoke odor can seep deep into mattresses, books, carpets, and toys. We use ozone machines, hydroxyl generators, and thermal fogging to neutralize smells and ensure your home smells fresh again.
Our crews rebuild structural elements damaged by fire or cleanup. This includes framing, drywall, insulation, roof repair, flooring, cabinetry, and painting. We ensure work aligns with area building codes, HOA guidelines, and permit requirements. Licensed plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians handle systems displaced or damaged by the fire. We pull new permits and coordinate inspections so your home is rebuilt correctly and safely.
Once restoration and reconstruction are finished, your project manager conducts a thorough walkthrough with you. We check every room to confirm repairs are complete, systems are functional, and surfaces are clean. Smoke odor is tested, moisture levels are verified, and final quality checks are performed. We won’t consider the job finished until you’re fully satisfied.
We base our services on trust and clear communication and combine local knowledge with comprehensive project care.

Restoring property after a fire is more than a construction job—it’s a rebuilding of daily life. At First Coast Contracting, we understand that homeowners deserve a clear, step-by-step restoration plan that protects their space and supports their peace of mind. Whether your property is in Orlando, Lake Nona, Winter Park, Kissimmee, or St. Cloud, you receive local service, full repairs, and confident results.
We handle every item on your list—from emergency board-ups and soot removal to full reconstruction, HVAC service, and final inspections. Insurers appreciate our detailed estimates and direct communication with adjusters. Clients value our respectful, detail-focused crews who treat every property like their own.
Even after water is removed, damage can linger behind walls and under floors. Keep an eye out for musty smells, warped baseboards, peeling paint, or unusual humidity. These may indicate moisture that wasn’t fully dried. If you notice any of these signs in your Jacksonville or St. Augustine home, contact us for an inspection.
Contact us as soon as the fire department finishes its work. We respond quickly to begin securing the property. You’ll be connected with a project manager who explains the process, coordinates with your insurance provider, and answers your questions until job completion.
We know fire disruption affects more than your walls and ceilings. It interrupts your sense of routine and security. Our goal is to restore your property, your comfort, and your path forward—without fuss or confusion.
Once your local fire department declares it safe to enter, we can be on-site within hours. In most cases, we start securing the property and beginning cleanup tasks the same day. Fast response helps prevent further damage from water and weather.
Most homeowners and commercial policies include fire damage restoration. We draft a detailed estimate—complete with photos, measurements, and professional notes—that meets insurer requirements. We work directly with adjusters to help you get a fair claim quickly.
Soot and smoke can travel through house cavities, ductwork, and porous materials. We use moisture meters, infrared scanning, and air-quality testing to detect contamination. Cleaning methods include air scrubbers, ozone, hydroxyl fogging, and HVAC cleaning so hidden smoke is completely removed.
Will my home still smell like smoke after restoration?
Smoke odors can cling deeply. We combine surface cleaning with specialized deodorization systems—ozone, hydroxyl, thermal fogging, and repeated air scrubbing. After final walkthrough, we test air samples to ensure no lingering smell remains in your home.
