Highland Beach is a narrow barrier island town of oceanfront condos and Intracoastal estates between Boca Raton and Delray Beach. Mid and high rise condos from the 1970s onward plus estates.
We regularly find mold in units left shut during the off season, behind kitchen and bath cabinets after small leaks, and around sliding doors that take sideways rain on oceanfront balconies. In a high rise, a shared wall or ceiling can hide growth that started in a neighbor's unit. Work is contained under negative air so hallways and elevators stay clean, and building rules on hours and freight elevator use are followed. Clearance is confirmed by an outside assessor before any rebuild.
We handle mold remediation in Highland 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 Highland Beach Building Department. 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
- Turn off the air conditioning if mold is near a vent, closet air handler or return.
- Close the door to the affected room.
- Find and stop any obvious water source.
- Keep kids, pets and anyone with asthma out of the area.
Avoid
- Do not spray bleach. It does not fix porous materials and can spread spores.
- Do not paint over mold.
- Do not run fans across moldy surfaces.
- Do not tear out moldy drywall yourself.

Questions, answered
Can mold spread to other units through the building?
Spores can travel through shared air paths and openings, which is why we seal the work area and run negative air with HEPA filters. If the source is in a common element, we work with management on it.
What should I do with my AC when I leave for the summer?
Keep it running with humidity control rather than switching it off. A dehumidifier or a thermostat that manages humidity helps, and having someone local check the unit catches problems early.
Are you licensed for mold remediation in Florida?
Yes. Barraza Industries holds a Florida Mold Remediator license and Applied Microbial Remediation certification. Florida requires a license for mold remediation over 10 square feet.
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.
