Fast, Reliable Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Across Hollywood
Fire and smoke damage restoration in Hollywood typically runs $3,200-$8,500 for a condo unit affected by a kitchen or electrical fire, with emergency board-up and tarping starting at $450-$950 depending on access height and HOA requirements. Most Hollywood properties we serve see our crew within 60-90 minutes during daylight hours, and our 24-hour live dispatch means a person answers every call - no voicemail while smoke is still settling into your drywall. We coordinate dispatch from our Miami office, but our crews work Hollywood daily and know the difference between a 1950s concrete-block home in Hollywood Hills and a 1980s A1A tower where the architectural review board needs paperwork before we touch a door frame.

Why DryMark Restoration Pompano Beach Is Hollywood’s Preferred Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Company
We’ve restored properties from the single-family homes along Stirling Road to the mid-rise towers lining the Intracoastal Waterway. Hollywood’s dense condo corridor presents a specific challenge: fire damage here is rarely just about one unit. Smoke migrates through shared building systems. HOA boards enforce strict visual standards. And the same salt-air corrosion that degrades cast-iron plumbing also weakens electrical conduit in older towers, increasing fire risk in buildings where replacement parts must match 40-year-old specifications.
Our reputation in Hollywood is built on documentation that satisfies both insurers and association boards. Every job receives a photo record on every visit, moisture readings logged to IICRC standards, and a written scope signed before work begins. We don’t ask you to trust us - we show you the readings, the photos, and the price in writing.
Live phone coverage runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When a fire happens at 2 a.m. in a Hollywood Hills ranch or a Hallandale Beach Boulevard high-rise, a person answers. No callback tomorrow. No automated queue.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration team carries the equipment to handle both the immediate emergency and the weeks-long odor remediation that follows - Phoenix and Dri-Eaz systems documented to RIA and IFA standards, with daily drying logs that turn your restoration invoice into a claim your adjuster pays without dispute.
Our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Services in Hollywood

Fire Damage Cleanup
Hollywood’s housing stock splits between 1950s-1970s concrete-block homes with flat roofs and the 1970s-1980s condo towers along A1A. Each demands different cleanup protocols. In Hollywood Hills ranches, we often find fire suppression water pooled in slab-on-grade construction with minimal drainage slope, requiring immediate extraction before mold colonizes within the 24-48 hour window our humid climate compresses. In A1A towers, we’re working around quiet-hours rules, shared HVAC systems, and HOA notification requirements while removing charred materials and documenting pre-loss condition for the association’s records.

Smoke & Soot Removal
This is where Hollywood’s building stock creates problems generic crews miss. Soot from synthetic materials - common in 1980s condo interiors - bonds to surfaces differently than wood-fire residue. More critically, smoke and soot travel through the shared cast-iron drain stacks and unvented concrete-block wall cavities that link units vertically in Hollywood’s mid-rise buildings. We treat the source unit, then trace migration paths with thermal imaging and borescopes, cleaning adjacent units before odor complaints trigger association violation notices. Our crews use HEPA air scrubbers and contact vacuuming on every surface, with documentation photos that prove scope of work to insurers and HOA boards alike.

Odor Removal & Deodorization
Smoke odor in Hollywood’s condo corridor doesn’t respect unit boundaries. We’ve traced odor from a kitchen fire on the 8th floor of an A1A tower into units three floors above and two below, carried by negative pressure in the building’s drain-waste-vent system and gaps in fire-rated assemblies degraded by decades of salt-air exposure. Our protocol combines hydroxyl generators for occupied spaces, thermal fogging for voids and cavities, and ozone treatment for unoccupied units - each method documented with before-and-after air quality readings. We don’t mask odor. We remove the source, then remove what migrated.

Contents Cleaning & Pack-Out
When a Hollywood unit is uninhabitable, we inventory, photograph, and pack contents to our climate-controlled facility or a portable storage unit on-site, depending on HOA rules and available space. Every item receives a condition assessment photo and a cleaning protocol matched to its material: ultrasonic cleaning for hard goods, Esporta wash systems for textiles, and hand-cleaning for electronics and artwork. The inventory list becomes part of your insurance documentation, with no separate charge for photo documentation - it’s standard on every job, Haven Standard, Clause 4.

Emergency Board-Up & Tarping
In Hollywood’s A1A and Intracoastal condo corridor, board-up is an HOA compliance event before it’s a security measure. Association architectural review boards reject mismatched panels, non-standard door styles, and paint colors outside approved palettes. We photograph the original condition, source matching materials from suppliers familiar with Hollywood’s common 1970s-1980s specifications, and submit our repair plan to the ARB before work begins. This prevents the violation notices that delay insurance settlements and create secondary damage from weather exposure. For flat-roof homes in Hollywood Hills, we use weighted tarp systems that don’t penetrate roofing membranes, protecting against the summer storms that hit Broward County from June through October.

Structural Fire Repair
Structural repair in Hollywood requires navigating both building department permits and HOA architectural standards. In the condo corridor, we coordinate with association engineers on fire-rated assembly restoration, ensuring rebuilt walls and ceilings meet the original UL listings that insurance adjusters require. In single-family homes, we address the specific failure modes of 1950s-1970s construction: undersized electrical panels, aluminum wiring transitions, and flat-roof drainage that pools suppression water against damaged soffits. Every repair receives a written scope, a fixed price, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backed by The Haven Standard.

Our crews deploy professional-grade equipment from Phoenix and Dri-Eaz for air scrubbing and dehumidification, with B-Air systems for specialized contents drying. These aren’t brand names we mention casually - they’re the machines producing the psychrometric data, the vapor pressure differential readings, and the daily moisture logs that document your job to IICRC standards. In Hollywood’s humid climate, where near-100% relative humidity between storms can push wet materials past salvageable condition in 48 hours, equipment performance is documented or it’s worthless. We log every reading. We show you the numbers. And we keep common replacement parts stocked for Hollywood’s frequent condo-corridor jobs, so ARB-compliant repairs don’t wait on a parts order while violation deadlines tick.
Common Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Problems We See in Hollywood Homes

- Smoke migration through shared drain stacks. In Hollywood’s 1970s-1980s condo towers, cast-iron drain stacks corroded by decades of salt air develop gaps at joints and cleanouts. Smoke from a kitchen fire gets pulled into negative-pressure voids and exits in bathrooms and kitchens three floors away. Crews that only treat the source unit leave neighbors with persistent odor and the association with a multi-unit complaint log.
- ARB rejection of emergency repairs. HOA architectural review boards in the A1A corridor enforce strict visual standards. A board-up with the wrong panel profile, a replacement door in a non-approved style, or paint that doesn’t match the building’s palette gets rejected. The unit owner receives a violation notice. Insurance won’t advance payment for non-compliant work. We source matching materials and submit plans before we start.
- Quiet-hours compression of drying timelines. Occupied mid-rise and high-rise buildings restrict demolition, air mover operation, and dehumidifier noise to limited daytime windows. In Hollywood’s climate, that can push structural drying past the mold colonization threshold. We sequence work to maximize allowable hours, use low-decibel equipment where possible, and document moisture readings that prove progress to insurers even when timelines stretch.
- Suppression water on flat or low-pitched roofs. Hollywood Hills homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have minimal roof pitch and original cast-iron drains. Fire suppression water pools instead of draining, saturating insulation and ceiling drywall. We extract standing water, deploy targeted drying systems, and inspect roof drains for the corrosion that caused the backup - documenting everything for the adjuster.

FAQs - Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Hollywood

Yes, in nearly every A1A and Intracoastal corridor building, the HOA’s architectural review board must approve materials, colors, and repair methods before work begins. We photograph pre-loss condition, source matching materials from suppliers familiar with your building’s era, and submit our scope to the ARB as part of our standard protocol. This prevents violation notices that delay insurance payment. Call (754) 238-0219 and we’ll review your association’s requirements during our initial assessment - estimates are free.
Smoke travels through shared building systems. In Hollywood’s 1970s-1980s condo towers, corroded cast-iron drain stacks and unvented concrete-block wall cavities create pathways between units vertically and horizontally. Negative pressure from bathroom exhaust fans and HVAC returns pulls smoke-laden air into adjacent spaces. We trace these migration paths with thermal imaging, treat affected neighboring units as part of the scope, and document the work so insurers cover the full extent - not just the source unit. Call (754) 238-0219 for an assessment that includes migration mapping.
We work within your building’s quiet-hours rules, typically restricting demolition and high-speed air movers to 9 a.m.-5 p.m. weekdays in occupied Hollywood towers. We use low-decibel Phoenix and Dri-Eaz equipment where possible, sequence noisier work into allowable windows, and provide moisture logs that prove drying progress to insurers even when timelines stretch. The trade-off is vigilance: we check readings more frequently to catch any mold risk before it develops. Call (754) 238-0219 to discuss your building’s specific restrictions.
We treat it as a combined fire-water job, which is standard in Hollywood. Our crew extracts standing water, measures moisture content in drywall and insulation with pinless and invasive meters, and establishes a drying plan documented to IICRC S500 standards. In our humid climate, wet drywall past 16% moisture content risks mold colonization within 24-48 hours, so we prioritize extraction and begin controlled drying immediately. The drying log becomes part of your insurance documentation. Call (754) 238-0219 for same-day assessment.
We inventory, photograph, and pack out contents to climate-controlled storage or an on-site pod, depending on HOA rules and space availability. Every item receives a condition assessment photo and a material-matched cleaning protocol: ultrasonic for hard goods, Esporta for textiles, hand-cleaning for electronics. The inventory list and photos become part of your insurance claim documentation at no additional charge - standard on every job, Haven Standard, Clause 4. Call (754) 238-0219 to schedule pack-out services.
