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.
Seasonal homes left closed with the AC set too warm, and older beach houses with original windows, often show growth along exterior walls and inside closets. Condos facing the Intracoastal can develop mold below balconies that leak slowly into the unit beneath. We contain the work zone, remove affected materials, HEPA clean what remains and prepare the room for clearance testing. We also pinpoint the moisture source so it can be corrected.
We handle mold remediation 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.
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.

Questions, answered
What should my AC be set to while I am away?
Set it to control humidity, not only to save power, and consider a dehumidistat or a smart thermostat you can watch remotely. We can review your system and suggest settings that protect the home.
Do you test for mold after the work?
We recommend independent clearance testing after remediation so you have third party confirmation. We prepare the space for that testing and go over the results with you.
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.
