About this company
South Florida Water and Mold Restoration is an owner-operated restoration company based in Dania Beach, run by Pat Caiazza and Lisa Cozzi. Pat handles remediation; Lisa handles insurance coordination and reconstruction as a Florida general contractor (CGC#1535089). Together they carry about 30 years of combined experience in water damage, mold, and construction.
The standout here is vertical integration. They hold both a Florida mold remediator license and a general contractor license, so they can remove mold and rebuild the walls, floors, and cabinetry in one project. They run a product showroom in Dania Beach with flooring, tile, and countertop displays. Their remediation technicians are in-house employees, not subcontractors. They also handle direct insurance billing and will meet adjusters on-site.
Notably, their FAQ states they do not perform air quality testing themselves, calling it a conflict of interest for a remediator to also test. They refer that work to independent mold assessors. That is an unusual and honest position for a remediation company.
4.9 stars on Google with 29 reviews. That rating reflects consistently positive feedback about Pat's responsiveness, honest estimates, and the quality of reconstruction work.
Services
Service area
Based in Dania Beach, FL (Broward County). The website does not define a specific service area, but reviews reference projects across Broward County. One 2026 reviewer noted Pat could not serve them due to distance, suggesting coverage has geographic limits beyond the immediate South Florida area.
Review consensus
Pat gets named repeatedly for fast response -- multiple reviewers describe him showing up the same day or next day, including weekends. Reviewers highlight his honesty: at least two describe Pat advising them their issue did not require remediation, saving them money. Lisa gets credit for insurance coordination and guiding clients through reconstruction choices. Several reviewers mention clean, organized job sites and in-house crews who handle the full scope from demolition through rebuild.
1 found across 29 total reviews at 4.9★. One recent 1-star review from a Local Guide with 11 reviews states only 'Very poor quality work' with no details. The business did not respond. Without specifics from either side, the complaint is difficult to evaluate, but the lack of response is notable.
The business did not respond to its only recent negative review. With 28 five-star reviews and a single vague 1-star complaint, the overall pattern is strongly positive, but the 0% owner response rate on negatives means there is no public evidence of how they handle dissatisfied customers.
Pat Caiazza (co-owner, remediation lead -- praised across many reviews for fast response, honesty, and hands-on involvement). Lisa Cozzi (co-owner, insurance and reconstruction -- praised for insurance coordination and remodeling guidance).
Ask for Pat directly -- reviewers consistently describe him as responsive and straightforward, including telling people when they do not need his services. Get your air quality testing done independently before signing a remediation contract, and ask for a written estimate that separates remediation costs from reconstruction costs.
Keep in mind
- They offer mold inspections but acknowledge they cannot do air quality testing, referring that to independent assessors. This is good practice, but confirm who performs any testing and who pays for it before signing a remediation contract.
- Only 29 Google reviews over roughly 10 years in business. That is a thin review history for a company of this tenure.
- The one recent negative review received no owner response. With a 0% response rate on negatives, you cannot gauge how they handle complaints publicly.
- Their website claims 'no out-of-pocket expenses' through insurance. Your actual costs depend on your policy limits and deductible -- ask for a written breakdown before work starts.
- Service area is not clearly defined on the website. One recent reviewer noted Pat could not serve them due to proximity. Confirm they cover your location.
