    At First Atlantic Restoration, we help people recover from water, fire, and mold damage with urgency, care, and professionalism. Our team takes pride in being the first on the scene when disaster strikes — and the last to leave when a home or business is fully restored. If you’re hands-on, calm under pressure, and ready to lead from the front, we want to talk to you.
