Seasonal homes and slow discoveries
A large share of Boca Raton homes and condos sit empty for part of the year. A failed supply line, water heater or AC drain in a closed home can run for days or weeks. By the time a home watch visit or a neighbor catches it, water has spread under flooring and into walls and mold has started. Many policies treat long-running leaks differently from sudden ones, so fast discovery matters. See mold remediation.
Gated communities and HOAs
Many Boca homes are in gated golf and country club communities with rules on contractor access, working hours, vehicle size and exterior repairs. Some associations are responsible for roofs or exteriors. We coordinate with security and management before arriving, so work isn't delayed at the gate. See multi-unit and HOA restoration.
Storms: Frances, Jeanne and Wilma
Palm Beach County took hurricane-force winds from Frances and Jeanne in 2004 and Wilma in 2005. Roofs, screen enclosures and windows were damaged across Boca, and wind-driven rain soaked interiors. Palm Beach County is not part of the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone that covers Broward and Miami-Dade, but it has its own strict wind and impact requirements for replacement windows, doors and roofs.
Intracoastal and ocean
Homes and condos along the Intracoastal, Lake Boca and the ocean face surge and king tides, and low waterfront lots can flood. Check your address in the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
