Lantana and Hypoluxo is Intracoastal homes on Hypoluxo Island and the Lantana waterfront, plus oceanfront condos in Hypoluxo. Older waterfront homes, some pre-1978, and newer estates on the island.
Mold here often traces back to a slow roof leak, a sweating air handler closet, or older windows that let rain in. In older homes it can hide behind paneling and inside plaster, while condo units tend to show it around window frames and in closets on shared walls. We contain the area, run negative air, remove affected materials and HEPA clean before setting up for independent clearance testing. Where a home is pre-1978, lead safe precautions are built into the removal.
We handle mold remediation in Lantana and Hypoluxo 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 the Town of Lantana and Town of Hypoluxo building departments. One company, one project manager, one schedule.

Questions, answered
Is mold in a condo the association's problem or mine?
It depends on where it started and what your condo documents say. We document the source and extent with photos and moisture readings so you and the association have clear facts to work from.
Can I just bleach it?
Bleach may lighten surface stains but often does not reach growth inside porous materials, and it adds moisture. Lasting results come from fixing the water source and removing affected materials under containment.
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.
