First Coast standards
Built forthis coast.
How we build for Florida humidity, salt air, and the age of these houses.
Moisture and humidity
We waterproof and seal where it counts. In this climate a shortcut behind the wall rots the finish out from the inside within a couple of years.
Coastal materials
Near the water, salt air is hard on finishes. We match materials to take it instead of failing in a season or two.
Older-home surprises
Riverside, Avondale, and Ortega homes hide dated plumbing and past repairs. We open it up, show you what is there, and fix the cause before we cover it.
Permits and code
Structural, plumbing, and electrical work in Duval and St. Johns counties needs permits. We pull the ones we are responsible for and build to code.
One licensed crew
Licensed and insured, one crew from demo to final trim. No subs bouncing through and nobody pointing fingers between trades.
Daily cleanup
Floors protected, dust kept down, and the space cleared at the end of each day. Your final walkthrough happens on a clean job site.

Juan Gomez started HammerHead in 2016. St. Augustine is the oldest city in the country, and its houses show it — which is exactly the kind of work we’re built for.
We know St. Augustine homes
St. Augustine isn’t one kind of house. There’s the historic district with its preservation rules and coquina-stone architecture, the older neighborhoods like Lincolnville and Davis Shores, and the coastal properties out on Anastasia Island and toward Vilano Beach.
Old homes hide things. Behind the walls of a house that’s stood for decades — or a century — you find dated plumbing, moisture damage, and repairs someone did wrong a long time ago. We plan for that going in, and we show you what we find instead of papering over it.
Near the water, salt air adds its own problem. We factor corrosion and moisture into the scope before we pick a single finish, so the work holds up instead of failing in a couple of years.
FAQs
Common questions.
What clients ask about scope, timeline, and how the work runs.
Do you work within St. Augustine's historic district rules?
Yes. The historic district has real preservation requirements, and exterior changes there go through architectural review. We build to what's required, respect the character of an older home, and handle the parts of the process we're responsible for.
Can you work on old coquina and historic homes?
Yes. St. Augustine has some of the oldest housing stock in the country, and these homes come with surprises — coquina and masonry walls, dated plumbing, past repairs done wrong. We plan for that and show you what we find instead of hiding it.
How do you handle salt-air corrosion near the coast?
Salt air is hard on metal, hardware, and finishes, especially on Anastasia Island and near the water. We steer you toward materials that hold up and away from the ones that pit and rust fast. It's a call that saves you a redo down the line.
Do I need a permit to remodel in St. Augustine?
Most structural, plumbing, and electrical work needs a permit, and historic-district projects can carry extra review. We pull the permits we're responsible for and build to code. If your project needs one, we'll tell you up front.
What kinds of remodels do you do in St. Augustine?
Bathrooms, kitchens, full-home remodels, and finish work like tile, flooring, and stone — in both historic homes and newer coastal properties. One crew, one point of contact, whether it's a single room or the whole house.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. HammerHead is licensed in Florida and carries insurance. We'll confirm it before any work starts.
