No Florida city asks harder questions of its consultants. St. Augustine's inventory runs from colonial coquina through Flagler-era concrete, Lincolnville Victorians, and mid-century Davis Shores, every era with its own materials, failure modes, and hazards.
The Matanzas has flooded downtown in back-to-back hurricane years, king tides rehearse the next flood on sunny days, the Atlantic works the beaches, and salt air corrodes everything with a fastener. When damage arrives, it stacks: the surge that soaks a ground floor feeds the mold that disturbs the asbestos that stalls the restoration.
That is why our approach is forensic-first across every service. Conditions documented, cause established, findings tied to evidence, so owners, innkeepers, attorneys, and insurers act on confirmed facts.
Six core services, each independent, each documented to a forensic standard. Each card links to its full St. Augustine service page.
Ph.D.-led forensic assessments, storm and surge damage reports, coquina and historic masonry evaluations, litigation support, and sealed permit-ready plans.
Licensed, independent mold assessment that finds the growth, names the moisture source, masonry and crawl space included, and confirms species through accredited analysis.
AHERA-certified surveys and accredited lab analysis for a building stock spanning every asbestos era, with independent clearance after abatement.
Cause-specific IAQ testing that names the compound, the concentration, and the driver, from VOCs to spores to damp masonry.
Full-scope forensic documentation of structure, smoke and soot migration, and suppression moisture, built for carriers and legal proceedings.
Cause-and-origin documentation with flood-versus-wind allocation for tidal, surge, and nor'easter flooding, backed by Xactimate-certified estimating.
Most providers assess and sell the fix. Everest assesses only, and that difference is the entire value of the report.
Every service on this page obeys one rule: we document the building, and someone else does the fixing. Removing the repair contract removes the incentive to inflate, which is why our reports work in the places assurances fail: with carriers, in transactions, before permitting authorities, and in court.
Assessment and testing only, never the repair.
Scope driven by lab results and evidence.
Documentation built for carriers, counsel, and closings.
Genuinely third-party post-work verification.
Reviews highlight fast inspections, responsive communication, professional reports, and support when property questions get stressful.
I have been investing in property for twenty years. I cannot overstate the importance of getting quality testing done before your purchase, for the safety of your investment and for the safety of the occupant(s). I have used multiple companies in multiple states and Everest has by far been the best. I highly recommend.
I have worked with the folks at Everest for about 5 years now and have found their service to always go beyond expectations their professionalism exemplary and their communication extremely responsive. I would recommend them for any level of moisture mapping mold testing and or structural engineering.
Everest is a great company to work with. They have inspected my clients' homes quickly and they have helped me overturn insurance denials. Special thanks to Yaritza Mejias and Yanitza Figueroa.
Professional engineering reports and quick turn around service. Its a pleasure working with Everest. Top notch company and staff
I have used EBCG many times and could not be happier with their response time, the quality and detail of their work, and the professionalism of their staff. From the scheduling process to the thoroughness of their reports and the support they provide after testing, they are truly at the top of their field.
I am incredibly grateful to have an organization like EBCG in my corner when navigating the stressful process of dealing with insurance carriers. Their involvement in the claims process has consistently helped both my company and our customers achieve positive outcomes in every case.
Great assistance with providing Planned Systems International Inc (Valparaiso, FL) with a report that details what is in the air in our commercial building. We had a Mold and Moisture Assessment done. We can now take this report and update our HVAC system to help mitigate anything toxic we may be breathing in. The test itself was non-evasive and only took a few hours. Thank you to Les Retherford for being so nice and helpful with explaining the process.
