Water damage is never convenient, and in the humid Florida climate, it can quickly lead to bigger issues like mold growth. For homeowners and property managers in Atlantic Beach, fast, thorough cleanup is the difference between a minor repair and a serious renovation. At First Coast Contracting, we offer professional water damage and mold removal services backed by over 50 years of combined experience. Whether your home has suffered a plumbing leak, storm damage, or unexpected flooding, our local team responds quickly to protect your property.
When water enters your home, it can seep behind walls, under flooring, and into building materials. If not addressed quickly, it compromises the structure and indoor air quality. We use professional-grade equipment and proven methods to extract water, dry affected areas, and prevent further damage. Every situation is different, but the goal remains the same: return your property to a safe, livable condition as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Our team understands the specific needs of Atlantic Beach homes. Whether you’re dealing with storm surge after a nor’easter or a slab leak that’s gone unnoticed for days, we’re equipped to handle it. We’re also familiar with construction types and permitting in the area, which helps streamline the process.
Florida’s warm, humid weather creates ideal conditions for mold to grow. After water damage, mold can start forming within 24 to 48 hours. It’s not just unsightly—mold can also impact air quality and trigger health concerns for people with allergies or respiratory issues. Our mold removal process goes beyond surface cleaning. We identify the source of moisture, contain the area, remove affected materials when necessary, and treat the space to prevent regrowth.
At First Coast Contracting, we follow industry standards to ensure safe and thorough remediation. We also help you understand what caused the mold and how to prevent it from returning. If needed, we coordinate with certified hygienists for testing and clearance.
Based near Jacksonville, we serve Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Neptune Beach, Ponte Vedra, St. Augustine, and nearby communities. Our team lives and works in the same neighborhoods we serve, which means we care about doing the job right. We’re not just restoring buildings—we’re helping people feel safe and comfortable in their homes again.
We offer 24/7 emergency response, because water damage doesn’t happen on a schedule. When you call us, you’ll speak to a real person who can dispatch a crew promptly. We bring the tools and experience to take action immediately, not just assess the damage.
Dealing with water damage or mold in your home is stressful. We aim to make the process clear and manageable from the first call to the final walkthrough.
Inspection and Assessment: We arrive quickly to inspect the damage, identify the water source, and create a plan of action. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden water.
Water Extraction: Using high-powered pumps and vacuums, we remove standing water and begin the drying process.
Drying and Dehumidification: We set up industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to pull moisture from walls, flooring, and the air. This step prevents warping and mold growth.
Cleaning and Sanitizing: We clean all affected surfaces using antimicrobial products. Items like furniture or clothing may also be cleaned if salvageable.
Mold Remediation: If mold is found, we isolate the area, remove contaminated materials, and treat the space to kill spores and inhibit future growth.
Restoration: Once everything is clean and dry, we make repairs. This can include replacing drywall, installing new flooring, or repainting. Our background in remodeling ensures high-quality results.
Throughout the process, we coordinate directly with your insurance provider when needed. We understand the documentation they require and provide clear, thorough reports to support your claim.
We don’t take shortcuts. Our team treats every home with respect and every project with care. Here’s what sets First Coast Contracting apart:
We also understand how Florida homes are built, including the challenges posed by crawl spaces, stucco exteriors, and older plumbing systems. That local knowledge helps us work faster and smarter.
Part of our job is helping you avoid the same issues down the line. After emergency work is done, we’ll explain what caused the water damage or mold and offer suggestions to prevent it in the future. This might include:
Many homes in Atlantic Beach and surrounding areas like San Marco, Riverside, and Arlington have similar vulnerabilities due to the climate and soil conditions. We’ve seen it all and can help you plan for long-term protection.
Immediately. The faster you act, the more you can reduce damage and repair costs. Our team is available 24/7 for emergencies.
It depends on the source of the water. Most policies cover sudden and accidental water damage, but not maintenance issues. We work with your adjuster to support your claim.
Yes. We use containment barriers and HEPA filtration to keep spores from spreading, and only use cleaning agents approved for residential use.
It varies based on the size of the area and extent of the contamination. Most projects are completed in a few days, but larger cases may take longer.
Absolutely. We’re a full-service contractor, so we handle both the emergency response and the rebuilding work. You won’t need to juggle multiple contractors.
If you’re dealing with water damage & mold removal in Atlantic Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Nocatee, or St. Johns, First Coast Contracting is ready to help. Contact us today to schedule an inspection or request emergency service.

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
