Since 2011, Alicia Brennan has led DryMark Restoration as an independently owned and operated company built around the documentation gap that costs homeowners their insurance claims. We’ve restored more than 12,000 homes, every one with a written price before work started and a documented record when the crew left. In our Reconstruction & Cleanup in Boca Raton, where humidity sits above 70% for eight months of the year and building codes follow the Florida Building Code with Palm Beach County amendments, sloppy work doesn’t just look bad - it fails inspection, traps moisture, and voids insurance coverage. We see this regularly in Spanish River Land and Boca West properties where previous contractors skipped vapor barrier documentation or used non-compliant fastening schedules.
Our reconstruction crews are background-checked, uniformed, and licensed, with license numbers provided on request. We answer live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - no voicemail trees, no next-business-day callbacks while your kitchen sits open to the elements. Every technician arrives with professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and Injectidry, and all work is documented to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. The daily drying logs and room-by-room moisture readings we produce turn restoration invoices into claims insurers pay without a fight.
What Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Service Includes
Full-Service Reconstruction
Full-service reconstruction covers the complete rebuild of structural and finished elements after water, fire, mold, or storm damage has been mitigated and dried to IICRC standards. You’ll need this when framing is compromised, subfloors have delaminated, or walls require removal past the water line. In Deerfield Beach Reconstruction & Cleanup and Boca Raton, we regularly reconstruct entire rooms in Royal Palm Yacht & Country Club and Hidden Lake homes where cast-iron plumbing failures or hurricane-driven roof breaches caused cascading damage. Our crews provide written scopes itemizing every stud, sheet of drywall, and linear foot of trim, with photo documentation at rough-in, insulation, and final walkthrough.

Drywall & Flooring Repair
Drywall and flooring repair addresses localized damage without full-room teardown, including water-stained ceiling sections, buckled hardwood near sliding doors, and tile failures from slab moisture migration. This service fits Boca Raton’s concrete slab construction, where we frequently see oak and engineered flooring delaminate in ground-level condos along A1A due to vapor pressure differential - the force that pushes moisture through concrete when exterior humidity exceeds interior conditions. We test slab moisture content with calcium chloride kits and thermo-hygrometers, then specify appropriate underlayment and adhesive systems before any material is ordered.

Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
Contents restoration and pack-out removes, inventories, cleans, and stores your belongings during reconstruction, then returns them when your home is ready. You’ll need this when smoke has permeated textiles, water has wicked into upholstered furniture, or demolition dust would destroy electronics and artwork. In Boca Raton, we pack out entire households in Old Floresta and The Oaks, documenting each item with photo condition reports and barcoded inventory sheets that satisfy both insurance adjusters and our own chain-of-custody requirements. Our climate-controlled storage facility maintains 45-55% relative humidity, preventing secondary mold growth on leather, paper, and wood items during multi-week reconstructions.

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Carpet and upholstery cleaning removes soils, odors, and microbial contamination from soft surfaces using hot-water extraction and specialized chemistry matched to fiber type. This service is necessary after water damage mitigation, fire suppression residue, or prolonged humidity exposure that activates dormant odors in padding and cushion foam. We clean wool carpets in Boca Raton Country Club estates and synthetic blends in rental properties near Florida Atlantic University, always testing for colorfastness and fiber stability first. Our truck-mounted systems achieve 200°F at the wand with simultaneous vacuum extraction, producing dry times under 6 hours in conditioned spaces - critical when mold germination begins at 48 hours of sustained moisture.

Post-Construction Cleanup
Post-construction cleanup removes the fine dust, adhesive residue, and trade debris that remains after any reconstruction project, delivering a move-in-ready condition. You’ll need this after any drywall sanding, flooring installation, or painting that leaves silica dust on horizontal surfaces and HVAC registers. In Boca Raton’s new construction and renovation market, plus Reconstruction & Cleanup - Delray Beach, we clean homes in Azura and The Preserve where builders’ final walkthroughs failed to catch drywall compound in window tracks or sawdust packed into cabinet toe kicks. Our process includes HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces, solvent-free removal of paint and caulk spots, and air scrubbing with activated carbon filtration to capture VOCs from fresh finishes.

Insurance Claim Documentation
Insurance claim documentation is the systematic photo record, written scope, and moisture log package that transforms your reconstruction invoice into a payable claim. You need this because carriers deny or reduce claims lacking contemporaneous documentation of pre-existing condition, damage extent, and restoration necessity. Every DryMark Restoration job in Boca Raton includes this as standard deliverable, never an upsell: dated photos with measurement overlays, room-by-room moisture content readings in percentage wood moisture equivalent, and drying logs showing psychrometric data - temperature, relative humidity, and vapor pressure - at each technician visit. We coordinate directly with adjusters from Citizens, Universal Property & Casualty, and Florida Peninsula Insurance, providing the documentation language they require for line-item approval.

Brands We Service for Reconstruction & Cleanup

We specify and install materials from major flooring and building product manufacturers regularly encountered in Boca Raton homes. For hardwood and engineered flooring, we work extensively with Bruce, Mohawk, and Shaw products, documenting proper acclimation periods - typically 72 hours minimum in climate-controlled spaces - and moisture content differentials between subfloor and flooring material before installation begins. In coastal properties where salt air accelerates fastener corrosion, we upgrade to stainless steel cleats and specify appropriate vapor retarder ratings per ASTM E96.
Our drying and cleaning equipment includes professional-grade systems from B-Air and Injectidry, with technicians trained on each manufacturer’s specifications for airflow rates, temperature limitations, and filter maintenance schedules. Whether your reconstruction involves matching existing home finishes or specifying entirely new materials, we source products that comply with Florida’s wind-borne debris requirements and Palm Beach County’s amended energy code. If you have a specific brand requirement from your insurance carrier or HOA, we document the specification and obtain written approval before ordering.

AfterSigns You Need Reconstruction & Cleanup Right Now
- Visible sagging or cracking in ceilings or walls. This indicates structural compromise from water saturation or hidden leaks that have degraded drywall, tape joints, or framing members. In Boca Raton’s older ranch homes near Camino Real, we find ceiling failures where original plaster lath has rotted from long-term AC condensate line leaks that owners mistook for “settling cracks.”
- Persistent musty odor after water damage mitigation. Odor that survives drying suggests residual moisture in wall cavities, compromised vapor barriers, or beginning mold colonization on organic surfaces. We trace these with thermal imaging and borescope inspection, then scope the reconstruction necessary to access and eliminate the source.
- Floor surfaces that cup, crown, or separate at seams. Wood and laminate flooring reacts to moisture imbalance across or through the material; cupping (edges raised) indicates surface moisture, while crowning (center raised) signals moisture from below. Both conditions require removal to assess subfloor condition, which in Boca Raton’s slab-on-grade construction often reveals failed adhesive or inadequate moisture mitigation.
- Paint or wallpaper that bubbles, peels, or stains repeatedly. Recurring finish failure means the underlying substrate is moving or moist, and repainting without addressing the cause wastes money and conceals progressive damage. We see this in oceanfront condos where wind-driven rain penetrates stucco cracks and migrates through exterior sheathing.
- Post-mitigation spaces that remain uninhabitable after 14 days. If your home or room is still torn open two weeks after the initial emergency, your mitigation contractor likely lacks reconstruction capability or is stringing out the job. DryMark Restoration provides seamless transition from mitigation to reconstruction under a single written scope, eliminating the documentation gaps and scheduling conflicts that delay completion.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Process - Step by Step

- 1
On-site assessment and moisture verification. We arrive with thermal imaging cameras, pin and pinless moisture meters, and hygrometers to verify that affected areas are dry to IICRC S500 standards - typically ≤16% wood moisture content or ≤4% moisture content elevation over established baseline. We photograph all surfaces, identify material classifications (Class 1-4 water damage, Category 1-3 contamination), and document pre-existing conditions that adjusters must distinguish from claim damage.
- 2
Written scope and price delivery. Haven Standard, Clause 1: a written price is delivered before anyone starts work, every time, with no exceptions. Your scope itemizes labor, materials, equipment, and timeline by room, with line-item pricing that matches the documentation your adjuster needs. We review this with you in person or via video call, answer questions, and obtain written authorization before scheduling.
- 3
Contents pack-out and protection. If your belongings occupy the work area, we inventory, photograph, and pack them using IICRC-standardized condition coding. Items requiring cleaning or restoration are transported to our facility; others are stored in climate-controlled vaults. You receive a complete inventory with photo documentation within 24 hours of pack-out completion.
- 4
Demolition, reconstruction, and progressive inspection. Our licensed crews perform demolition to expose and dry structural elements, then rebuild in phases: framing and rough mechanical, insulation and vapor barrier, drywall or other finish surfaces, flooring, and trim. Each phase is photographed and moisture-tested before closing; we schedule municipal or third-party inspections as required by Boca Raton building officials for structural, electrical, or plumbing modifications.
- 5
Final documentation and warranty delivery. Upon completion, you receive a photo record showing before, during, and after conditions; a final moisture reading log; the completed scope with any change orders documented and signed; and the 365-Day Done Right Promise under The Haven Standard. If any issue arises within that year, we return to make it right at no charge.
How Much Does Reconstruction & Cleanup Cost in Boca Raton?
A typical drywall repair in Boca Raton runs $1,200-$3,400 depending on square footage, ceiling versus wall location, and whether texture matching or paint is included. Flooring repair or replacement ranges $2,800-$7,500 for standard materials in average-sized rooms, with hardwood and large-format tile at the higher end. Full-room reconstruction - including demolition, framing, drywall, flooring, and trim - typically starts at $5,500 and ranges to $18,000+ for kitchens or master suites with cabinetry and fixture reinstallation.
Several factors move these ranges. Material costs in Palm Beach County run 12-18% above national averages due to transportation and demand fluctuations. Homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos-containing joint compound or lead paint, requiring certified abatement that adds $800-$2,500 per affected area. Oceanfront and Intracoastal properties in Boca Raton often specify corrosion-resistant fasteners and moisture-resistant materials that cost more but prevent premature failure in salt-air environments.

Our written price includes all labor, materials, equipment, and disposal; there are no scope-creep additions once the crew is inside your home.

Frequently Asked Questions - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Boca Raton

Reconstruction and cleanup is the process of rebuilding and restoring a property after damage has been mitigated, including structural repairs, finish replacement, contents cleaning, and debris removal. At DryMark Restoration, this service bridges the gap between emergency mitigation and move-in-ready condition, with all work documented to insurance standards. We handle everything from single-room drywall repair to whole-home reconstruction after major losses, always with a written price before work begins under Haven Standard, Clause 1.
Most drywall and flooring repairs in Boca Raton are completed in 3-7 business days; full-room reconstructions typically require 2-4 weeks depending on material lead times and municipal inspection schedules. Timeline extends when specialty materials are ordered or when multiple trade inspections are required.

Yes, we coordinate directly with your adjuster and provide the documentation package - photo records, moisture logs, written scopes, and material specifications - that carriers require for line-item approval. Our documentation standards were built by a former claims adjuster who understood exactly what gets claims paid versus denied. We do not require you to pay upfront and seek reimbursement; we bill your carrier directly for covered amounts and collect only your deductible or non-covered items at completion.
Yes, DryMark Restoration provides a Free Second Opinion on any competitor’s written estimate at no charge. Bring us the scope and we’ll identify missing items, inflated line charges, or inadequate material specifications that could cost you later. This service exists because we’ve seen too many Boca Raton homeowners accept incomplete scopes that leave them paying out-of-pocket for work their carrier would have covered with proper documentation.
Every reconstruction job carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise under The Haven Standard: if it’s not done right, we make it right, in writing, not as a verbal assurance. This covers workmanship, material defects we supplied, and any moisture-related failure traceable to our drying or vapor barrier installation. The warranty is transferable if you sell your home within the coverage period, and we maintain all documentation needed to honor it without dispute.
Clear personal items from work areas if pack-out hasn’t been arranged, ensure pets are secured away from demolition zones, and verify that your insurance carrier has approved the scope if applicable. We’ll provide a specific preparation checklist with your written estimate, including utility shutoff requirements, parking for our equipment trailer, and any temporary living arrangements if dust or noise will be significant. Our crew arrives with floor protection, dust containment, and ventilation equipment to minimize disruption to occupied spaces.
