Hillsboro Beach is a narrow barrier island town between the ocean and the Intracoastal, with oceanfront estates and condos along the Hillsboro Mile. Oceanfront estates, older beach houses and mid rise condos.
Smoke from a kitchen or electrical fire rises into tall ceilings, plaster and custom millwork in large oceanfront homes. In mid rise condos it can drift into hallways and neighboring units. We stabilize the property, identify the soot type, clean surfaces and contents, and deodorize with methods that respect delicate materials. Deliveries and debris removal are scheduled around the single road and the town's work rules.
We handle fire and smoke restoration in Hillsboro Beach from the first call to the final walkthrough. Demolition, debris removal and dumpsters run on our own crews and equipment, and licensed trades handle any permitted work through Town of Hillsboro Beach Building Department. One company, one project manager, one schedule.

- Change the HVAC filter and keep the system off until it is inspected.

Questions, answered
Can smoke damaged art be cleaned?
Often, yes. We pack and transport art carefully, and fine art conservation goes to specialists we coordinate with on your behalf.
Do you clean the AC system after a fire?
Yes. Smoke is drawn into returns and ducts, so we clean the system to keep residue from spreading once the rooms are finished.
Can you board up and tarp a Hillsboro Beach home the same day?
Yes. Securing the property comes first, before any cleaning. Board up, roof tarp and temporary fencing as needed.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Our restoration lead holds Florida Mold Remediator License MRSR2859, Lead Renovator Certification 183166 and Florida DOH biohazard registration 13-64-1716182, with certifications in Water Damage Restoration, Applied Structural Drying and Applied Microbial Remediation. We carry $1M per occurrence and $2M aggregate general liability and issue certificates to HOAs, condo associations and property managers on request.
Do I have to sign over my insurance benefits?
No. Florida banned assignment of benefits on residential property policies issued on or after January 1, 2023, and we do not ask for one. You contract with us directly, stay in control of your claim, and we give your adjuster the documentation.
