About this company
Terramar Restoration is a family-owned mold remediation and water damage firm based in Sunrise, Florida. Bill (William) and his son Steven run the operation, holding Florida state mold licenses MRSR #1925, #2060, and MRSA #2244. They claim 45-plus years of combined experience across two generations, dating back to Hurricane Andrew cleanup in 1992.
What sets them apart is personal property mold remediation. They clean mold from artwork, picture frames, furniture, sports memorabilia, and other valuables that most companies would tell you to throw away. Their website shows before-and-after work on 300-year-old African wood art, 120-year-old historical pecky cypress ceilings, and even currency. They offer pickup and drop-off for items. On the structural side, they use containment, negative air machines, HEPA vacuums, air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, pressurized fogging of fungicides, sanding and blasting for wood surfaces, and antimicrobial encapsulants. They also do moisture mapping with GE Protimeter data-logging equipment for leak detection.
They have done hurricane recovery work across South Florida and the Bahamas, including banks, libraries, and public buildings after Hurricane Wilma and Hurricane Dorian. Bill handled Broward County government facilities after Wilma, including the courthouse north tower, seven libraries, and the Public Safety Building. They offer a one-year warranty on mold removal projects and 24-hour emergency service for water damage.

Review consensus
Bill and Steven are named repeatedly for their hands-on involvement, responsiveness, and willingness to explain findings in detail. Multiple reviewers mention same-day or next-day site visits. Philip Vimini, a local real estate broker with 37 reviews and Local Guide status, says he has used Terramar on multiple projects over a decade. Kent Janzon credits them with solving a mold problem in a 39-room hotel by identifying root causes including AC settings and roof leaks. Dana Shaw, a property manager, notes she has used them on several homes in Weston. Pricing comes up often as fair or competitive.
0 found across 25 total reviews at 4.9★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. Across all 25 reviews at 4.9 stars, there are zero 1-star, 2-star, or 3-star reviews in the data provided.
The review volume is low (25 reviews over roughly 7 years) for a company claiming 45-plus years of experience and tri-county coverage. This likely reflects a word-of-mouth business model rather than one that actively solicits online reviews. Several reviewers mention being referred by real estate agents or property managers, which is consistent with a referral-driven operation.
Bill / William (owner — consistently positive across nearly all reviews for knowledge, responsiveness, and fair pricing). Steven / Steve (co-owner, son — praised alongside Bill for hands-on work and trustworthiness).
With a 4.9 rating and zero negatives, Terramar's review record is clean but thin. Ask for Bill or Steven directly — reviewers consistently name them as the people who show up and do the work. Get an independent mold assessment before hiring them for remediation to avoid the conflict of interest.
Keep in mind
- Terramar does both mold testing and remediation. Florida law restricts the same company from assessing and remediating within 12 months. Ask how they handle the separation between testing and remediation, or get an independent assessor.
- Most reviews are from 2018-2022. With only 25 total Google reviews over several years, the sample is small. Ask for recent references directly.
- They claim to serve all of South Florida plus the Bahamas. Confirm response times and availability for your specific city before booking.
