⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic experience with Bay Coast Restorations! they came highly recommended from a trusted friend, and that friend was right! They were professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough throughout our issues. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. If you’re looking for someone honest who genuinely cares about helping you understand what’s going on in your home, I highly recommend them! We’re so grateful for their expertise and peace of mind.

Something broke under my daughter's sink, and water got into most rooms of her house. I offered to help her find a company to do the restoraton/remodeling once the water mitigation was finished. I received recommendations from friends and acquaintances. I was surprisedby the number of people who pretended to be contractors and the number of people who refused to pull permits--even contractors. Then I found Bay Coast Restoration online and was impressed by their reviews. Clinton came to meet with me and my daughter. From day one he was easy to communicate with, explained the whole process thoroughly and assured us that he (the project manager) and the contractor he worked with would make sure the restoration would be successful, and that my daughter would be pleased. He listened carefully to what my daughter wanted. The whole process was great. Clinton was easy to reach by phone and text and responded promptly. He answered our questions along the way and made sure to keep my daughter abreast on the progress of the remodel. Permits were pulled as needed. If there was an issue along the way, he solved it quickly. We are pleased with the final outcome. The house looks great, the time frame was reasonable, and the cost was fair. (My daughter's insurance paid only a fraction of the cost up front.) I highly recommend Bay Coast Restoration and Clinton Ferreira. It was a pleasure to do business with this company that is so dedicated to customer service.

My name is Tamara, and back at the end of the year, my RO filter housing cracked and flooded most of my house. I was able to do the water mitigation through a company partnered with my insurance, but I needed significant restoration work. It took me several months of interviewing contractors before I found Bay Coast Restoration and Clint. They just finished with my house, and I am incredibly happy with the work they did. Clint is excellent to work with. He is very easy to communicate with and get a hold of. Any questions I had were answered quickly. He was able to make this whole process much less stressful than it would have been. I had fairly extensive damage from the water. All the flooring needed to be replaced, my kitchen needed to be redone, my guest bath, and the Florida room. I love how everything turned out. Clint was very communicative during the project about what would be happening when and would update me with pictures as well. He takes pride in his work and treated my little home with care and respect. I am extremely happy with the outcome and the process. The price for the project was excellent. Estimates for the job were all over the place from different companies. Bay Coast's was one of the lower estimates, and I was able to get everything I wanted within the budget that was set, and there were no major changes to the cost during the project. So I was very happy with that aspect as well. I can’t say enough good things about working with this company and Clint. And I would gladly work with him again in the future.

Clinton with Bay Coast Restoration was great! It felt more like a partner in getting my house back to normal after a sewer backup. He was interested in our issues that we were having and willing to work with us and take care of our concerns. He is very knowledgeable in every aspect involved in restoring our house including working with insurance companies. Everything was very well documented which is very helpful when working with insurance companies. I highly recommend!

Tuesday before my wedding I went into the guest room to start to prep it for guests. I noticed it smelled a little musty in the room. When I moved a folding table I had in there with some wedding stuff on it I was horrified to find a fair bit of mold all along the bottom of the exterior wall under a window. I called Clint immediately and he was at my house by the end of the day. He went through all the options he could think of to try to quarantine off the infested part of the room to possibly be able to use part of the room for guests as I had 4 people coming to stay with us for our wedding weekend! We ultimately decided To just block off the whole room and get it taken care of, guests would just have to use the couch. If you can imagine the stress and commotion going on in my house for the wedding, then add this, it was a nightmare. Clint and his team were so non intrusive, they blocked the room off and got right to work ripping everything out. They remediated it without adding to the chaos at all. When they left the only way I knew they were here was because of the missing drywall. I absolutely would recommend.

It was fabulous to work with a company that is transparent, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about educating the customer throughout the process. From start to finish, the communication was outstanding. Everything was explained clearly — what could and could not be done, the pros and cons, the available options, and fair pricing. There was never any confusion or pressure, only honest guidance and professional service. What stood out most was the level of care and patience. They took the time to thoroughly examine the issue, explain the research and thought process behind the recommendations, and make sure everything was understood before moving forward. That level of communication and integrity is rare today. On the business side, everything was handled professionally and efficiently, including the follow-up. On the personal side, you truly got to know the person behind the company — someone who values honesty, integrity, and customer trust. S. De Freece

We bought this house not knowing Hurricane Milton had left behind a serious mold problem. Within days of closing we started feeling off and figured out why pretty quickly — there was hidden mold throughout the Florida room, roof framing, and kitchen walls that had been there since the storm. It was bad enough that it was making us sick, and we had no idea any of it existed when we closed on the place. Clint's team demoed and cleaned out all of the impacted material, handled containment properly so the rest of the house wasn't affected, and put preventative measures in place before wrapping up. What really stood out was how well he communicated throughout the whole thing. He was responsive, moved fast, and kept us informed at every step. Given that this was a major demo and cleanup job, the house was in great shape when they were done. Genuinely couldn't ask for more. Would absolutely recommend.

Spoke with Clint about mold contamination in my apartment building. Even though he is unable to do restoration on my leased apartment(liability issues with landlord), he took the time and walked me through the steps I needed to take and recommended me to an accessor. He has so much knowledge and really helped ease my mind in this process. Highly recommend due to professionalism, knowledge, and overall just being a kind human!!

Fire & Smoke Recovery

Stabilize the Property. Clean Soot and Smoke. Begin the Recovery.

Fire damage often extends beyond the visibly burned area. Smoke and soot can travel through rooms, settle into porous materials, enter HVAC pathways, and create persistent odor. Water used during suppression can also produce a separate drying and moisture-control challenge.

Our team helps organize the response from emergency stabilization and documentation through debris removal, cleaning, odor treatment, drying, and repair planning. The scope is adjusted to the property, fire conditions, access, and insurance requirements.

  • Residential and commercial fire losses
  • Smoke, soot, odor, debris, and content concerns
  • Water damage from sprinklers and firefighting efforts

Helpful Answers

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration FAQs

What should I do after the fire department leaves?+

Do not enter unsafe areas. Contact your insurance carrier and a qualified restoration company to evaluate stabilization, water, smoke, soot, debris, and access concerns.

Can smoke odor be permanently removed?+

Smoke odor should be addressed at the source through cleaning, removal of non-salvageable materials, filtration, and appropriate odor-treatment methods rather than fragrance or masking alone.

Does fire restoration include water damage?+

Yes. Water from sprinklers and firefighting can affect flooring, drywall, ceilings, cabinets, insulation, and contents. Extraction and structural drying are often part of the fire-restoration scope.

Can soot damage get worse over time?+

Soot and acidic residues can continue affecting finishes, metals, fabrics, and contents. Prompt evaluation and appropriate cleaning can reduce secondary damage.

Does homeowners insurance cover fire damage?+

Many policies cover sudden fire and smoke damage, but coverage, limits, deductibles, and contents handling vary. Review the policy with your carrier or adjuster.

Can Bay Coast Restoration handle reconstruction after cleanup?+

Yes. Bay Coast Restoration can help coordinate repair and reconstruction after emergency mitigation, cleaning, drying, and scope approval.
