WFR responds immediately to water damage, flooding, mold, and asbestos emergencies across all of Hollywood — from Hollywood Beach to the Hollywood Boulevard corridor. Florida licensed, IICRC certified, direct insurance billing on every project.
📞 (954) 380-8655Hollywood is WFR's home city — our main office is located here at 2640 Hollywood Blvd. A coastal city bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west, Hollywood's mix of 1950s–70s housing stock, oceanfront condos, and Hollywood Beach resort strip creates water damage and mold risks that demand a licensed restoration company. These six factors are why Hollywood property owners call WFR first.
Hollywood's Atlantic coastline and Intracoastal Waterway create significant storm surge exposure during hurricanes and major storms. Ocean surge and Intracoastal flooding push saltwater into beach condos, boardwalk properties, and Intracoastal-front homes simultaneously. A restoration company in Hollywood must hold Category 3 saltwater decontamination protocols — ocean-sourced floodwater requires removal of affected materials, not drying in place.
Hollywood's residential stock was built largely between the 1950s and 1970s — one of the largest concentrations of mid-century housing in Broward County. Aging galvanized and cast iron plumbing in these homes fails far more frequently than modern materials. Original construction used asbestos in popcorn ceilings, floor tile adhesive, and pipe insulation — any restoration company working in Hollywood's older homes must hold a Florida asbestos contractor license before disturbing any building material.
Hollywood Beach has a high concentration of oceanfront and Intracoastal condos, plus a dense inland multi-family rental market. A single plumbing failure in any condo or multi-family property causes water damage affecting multiple units simultaneously — requiring separate insurance documentation for each unit and coordination with property management. WFR manages all multi-unit documentation, HOA coordination, and insurance claims on every Hollywood project.
Hollywood's Intracoastal Waterway and canal network border many residential neighborhoods throughout the city. Tidal flooding and canal overflow during heavy rainfall and hurricane events push contaminated water into canal-adjacent and Intracoastal-front properties regularly. WFR understands that this flooding requires NFIP or private flood insurance — not standard homeowners coverage — and must correctly document contamination on day one.
Hollywood's coastal location means relative humidity regularly exceeds 75–80% year-round. Mold begins colonizing wet building materials in as little as 24 hours. Any restoration company operating in Hollywood must hold a Florida Mold Remediator License — required by Florida Statute 468. Hollywood's large rental and multi-family inventory means water damage is frequently discovered late — dramatically increasing mold remediation scope and cost when a tenant reports it weeks after the event.
Hollywood sits directly on Broward County's Atlantic coast — every major hurricane affecting South Florida makes direct landfall impact on Hollywood's beach, Intracoastal, and residential communities. As WFR's home city, we have been Hollywood's licensed restoration company for every major hurricane since 2003 — maintaining our main office here and deploying surge capacity across all of Broward County from Hollywood outward.
WFR is the only restoration company in Hollywood that handles every phase in-house — water damage, mold, asbestos, fire, commercial, and full reconstruction — under one Florida-licensed team and one insurance claim.

Learn MoreCommon questions from Hollywood property owners about our restoration services, response times, licensing, and how we handle the city's unique challenges.
Florida law requires specific licenses that general contractors don't hold. A licensed team in Hollywood must carry a Florida Mold Remediator License for any mold project over 10 square feet, a Florida Mold Assessor License for the preceding written assessment, and a Florida Asbestos Contractor License for any asbestos work — all three of which WFR holds. A general contractor performing any of these without the proper license is breaking Florida law and creating liability for the property owner.
Beyond licensing, a restoration company provides IICRC-certified drying protocols, accredited lab testing, Xactimate documentation that insurance adjusters accept, and the full claims process — none of which a general contractor is equipped to provide. In Hollywood's coastal humidity, incomplete drying leads to mold within 24 hours — a risk no general contractor is qualified to manage.
Our restoration company dispatches immediately upon receiving your call — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including during active hurricanes and tropical storms. Our Hollywood, FL main office is centrally located for rapid coverage across all of Hollywood — Hollywood Beach, Dania Beach, Hallandale Beach, and all surrounding Broward communities. Our main office is located right here in Hollywood at 2640 Hollywood Blvd. Call the dedicated Miami-Dade restoration line at (954) 380-8655 for the fastest local dispatch — it connects directly to the nearest available team, not a call center.
Yes — beach condo and multi-family water damage are the most common project types our restoration company handles in Hollywood. A single plumbing failure in a Hollywood Beach oceanfront tower or inland multi-family complex can affect multiple units simultaneously — requiring separate insurance documentation for each unit. We work with HOA boards, property managers, and individual owners — handling all documentation and insurance coordination on every project.
Yes — flooding from the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal Waterway in Hollywood is classified as Category 3 saltwater contamination — the most aggressive class. Saltwater accelerates corrosion of structural components and contaminates porous materials more deeply than freshwater. Materials that can sometimes be dried in freshwater events must be removed after saltwater intrusion. WFR correctly classifies water source and contamination on day one — the wrong protocol leads to denied claims and ongoing structural damage.
Yes — Florida Statute 468.8411–468.8424 requires any restoration company performing mold remediation on a property in Florida to hold a Florida Mold Remediator License, and any mold assessment must be completed by a separately licensed Florida Mold Assessor. This applies to all Hollywood properties. A restoration company that performs mold work without these licenses is breaking Florida law — and the property owner may be liable for using an unlicensed contractor.
WFR holds both licenses and deploys separately licensed personnel for each function as the law requires. Our mold assessment service is available for standalone assessment as well as as part of our full restoration protocol.
Yes — any restoration company working in a pre-1980 Hollywood property should perform bulk sampling for asbestos before any demolition begins. Hollywood's pre-1980 housing stock — built largely between the 1950s and 1970s — commonly contains asbestos in popcorn ceilings, 9"×9" vinyl floor tile adhesive, pipe insulation, and drywall joint compound. A restoration company that tears out these materials without prior testing is violating OSHA regulations and exposing occupants to asbestos fibers.
WFR performs bulk sampling and holds the Florida asbestos contractor license — so when asbestos is discovered during a water damage or mold project, we handle abatement in-house under one project and one insurance claim. Learn more about our asbestos abatement service.
Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flooding from external water sources — including Atlantic Ocean storm surge, Intracoastal flooding, and canal overflow. This type of flooding requires a separate flood insurance policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private flood insurer. Many Hollywood properties — particularly those along the beachfront, Intracoastal, and canal corridors — are in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where flood insurance is a mortgage requirement. Our restoration company works directly with both policy types — call us first and we will open the claim and handle all documentation on your behalf.
WFR is the only restoration company in Hollywood — and the only one with its main office here — that handles every phase in-house — water damage extraction, structural drying, mold assessment, mold remediation, asbestos abatement, air quality restoration, and full interior reconstruction — all under one Florida-licensed team. Most restoration companies stop at drying and hand off to a separate contractor for reconstruction, creating documentation gaps and insurance delays.
WFR has been the trusted restoration company in Hollywood since 2003 — our main office is located at 2640 Hollywood Blvd. For 21+ years we have responded to every major hurricane, tropical storm, and everyday water damage event across Hollywood Beach, Dania Beach, Hallandale Beach, and all surrounding Broward communities.
