Your Trusted Construction Company Serving St. Augustine, FL, Jacksonville, FL, and the Surrounding Areas
At First Coast Construction USA, construction isn’t just our job; it’s what we’ve done since childhood. From building decks at age 12 to demoing homes in our teens, hands-on experience laid the foundation for the company we run today. With a background in mechanical work and commercial diving, our skillset spans everything from concrete to steelwork. That real-world experience now fuels our mission: building smarter, more affordable homes that actually serve the people who live in them.
We focus on neighborhoods that have been overlooked for too long. Our goal is to help revitalize communities by turning neglected lots into high-quality, budget-friendly housing. Whether it’s new construction, ADUs, or investor-focused builds, we bring value, not just structures. For government agencies and nonprofits, we offer compliant, accountable, and efficient construction that stays on schedule and on budget.
What sets us apart? We’re lean, responsive, and deeply invested in every project. While bigger firms push volume, we stay close to the work, on-site, in the details, and always within reach. We don’t cut corners or inflate costs. We build homes that reflect pride in craftsmanship, community, and care. No fluff, just solid construction and clear communication.
We offer a full range of residential and community-focused building services designed to support both private clients and public partners:
Military Journey and Family’s Century-Long Commitment to Duty
Kevin W. Deady’s military service starts with a family history dating back to World War 1 Thomas Frances Deady (Great Uncle) was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross (second to only the Medal of Honor). Most of the great uncle’s brothers were also deployed overseas. His baby brother, Walter Bernard Deady (Grandfather), served in WW2 as a Navy Sea Bee in the Pacific theater. His other grandfather was in the Air National Guard.
Two uncles and Father-in-Law were deployed to Vietnam. One of those uncles was awarded the Purple Heart. Another uncle served in the Army and did a hardship tour in Korea. Thomas James Deady (younger brother) was deployed to Iraq on more than one occasion as a member of the Army, Army National Guard, and the Air National Guard. He retired as an E-7.
Kevin started in the Army Reserves as an E-1, where he excelled in physical training with an extended PT score of 322 in basic training, earning his first promotion to E-2. He then went on to AIT for Generator Mechanic and graduated with Honors, earning him a promotion to E-3. Within 1 year of going to basic training, he would earn an E-4 promotion. There he waited with paperwork to transfer to the regular Army.
He soon got his wish as 9/11 happened and his paperwork was approved, magically. He then served out the rest of his enlistment as a member of the 37th Engineer Battalion (Combat) (Airborne) at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He went back to Ft. Benning, Georgia, where he went to basic training, to train as a paratrooper. He has 14 logged jumps during his time. Also, Kevin was deployed to Iraq for 10 months. He has a rating with the VA now for Injuries that occurred during both training and combat operations.
