Palm Beach is historic estates, Lake Worth Lagoon homes and South End condos on one of the most valuable islands in the country. Historic 1920s estates and new construction under strict architectural review.
Estates and South End apartments here often hold fine furniture, delicate upholstery, collections and hand painted walls. Soot is acidic and keeps etching those surfaces until it is properly lifted. We stabilize the property, record conditions room by room and bring in qualified conservators for fine art and antiques when a piece needs it. Permitted repairs belong to licensed trades, and our crews keep to the Town's hours and contractor parking limits.
We handle fire and smoke restoration in Palm 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 Palm Beach Planning, Zoning and Building. One company, one project manager, one schedule.
Before we arrive
What to do, and what to leave alone, while the crew is on the way.
Do this now
- Wait for the fire department to clear the property.
- Change the HVAC filter and keep the system off until it is inspected.
- Put clean towels on high traffic carpet and rugs.
- Photograph damage from a safe distance.
Avoid
- Do not wipe soot off walls or furniture. It smears and sets.
- Do not touch soot with bare hands.
- Do not send smoke damaged clothes to a regular dry cleaner.
- Do not turn on electronics or appliances that were near heat or water.

Questions, answered
Should our staff wipe down the soot?
Please hold off. Wiping can grind soot deeper into fabric and finishes, and some surfaces stain permanently if the wrong cleaner touches them.
What happens to our art and antiques?
We photograph and carefully pack them, then route them to qualified conservators for evaluation and treatment. Each piece is tracked so you always know where it is.
Can you board up and tarp a Palm 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.
