West Boca is guarded country club communities west of I-95 with large estates and golf course homes. 1980s to 2000s homes with aging plumbing and roofs.
Dryer vent fires, golf cart chargers in garages and faults in older electrical panels are common causes in homes of this age. Great rooms with vaulted ceilings let smoke rise and settle on high ledges, ceiling fans and recessed lights. We protect clean areas, clean from the top down and run deodorization once residue is off every surface. Damaged wiring and framing are evaluated and repaired by licensed trades.
We handle fire and smoke restoration in West Boca 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 Palm Beach County Building Division. One company, one project manager, one schedule.

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

Questions, answered
Should I run my AC after a small fire?
Keep it off until the system is checked. Running it can pull soot into the ductwork and push odor to every room, turning a small job into a much bigger one.
Can smoke stained cabinets be cleaned or do they need replacing?
Light to moderate residue on sealed cabinets usually cleans well. Blistering, heat warping or deep odor in raw wood point toward replacement, and we will show you which is which.
Can you board up and tarp a West Boca 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.
