West Palm Beach is historic El Cid and Flamingo Park homes and luxury towers along Flagler Drive on the Intracoastal. 1920s historic homes and new high rise towers.
In a high rise, smoke can travel through corridors, stairwells and ventilation and reach units far from the fire itself. Older homes in the historic districts may combine wood framing, plaster and aging wiring that all need careful review after a fire. We board up, clear debris, remove soot and neutralize odor where it lives instead of masking it. In pre-1978 homes, a certified lead renovator on our team oversees any disturbance of painted surfaces.
We handle fire and smoke restoration in West 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 City of West Palm Beach Building Division. 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.

Questions, answered
Our unit did not burn but it smells like smoke. What can be done?
Smoke from another unit leaves residue and odor in yours even without flames. We clean surfaces, vents and belongings and treat the odor until it is truly gone.
Do you board up after a fire?
Yes. We secure doors, windows and roof openings to protect the property and keep weather and intruders out.
Can you board up and tarp a West 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.
