One clear scope after a leak or water event
Water damage often crosses several finishes. A ceiling stain may lead to drywall removal, texture matching, paint, baseboard and flooring work in the same room.
Our estimate separates the construction work we can perform from work that must be handled by a licensed specialist.
We do not provide plumbing, electrical, roofing, foundation repair or structural engineering. If another trade is needed, the scope identifies that boundary clearly.

Order of work
Stop, dry, then rebuild
Water damage repair happens in a fixed order. First the source is stopped: a plumber for a supply line, toilet or water heater, a roofer for a roof leak. Braga does not do plumbing or roofing. Second, the house is dried, often by a water mitigation company with dehumidifiers and air movers, and wet materials that cannot be saved are removed. Third, the rebuild: drywall, insulation where it is part of the wall, flooring, tile, trim and paint. Braga's work is the rebuild.
Skipping the drying step is the most common mistake. Closing a wall or laying a new floor over a slab or framing that is still wet traps moisture and invites mold. We check the materials with a moisture meter before rebuilding.
Clean or not
Clean water, gray water and floodwater are handled differently
The restoration industry separates water into three categories. Clean water from a supply line can often be dried in place if caught quickly. Gray water, such as a washing machine or dishwasher overflow, needs more removal. Floodwater and sewage are contaminated: porous materials such as drywall, insulation, carpet and pad that they touched are removed, not dried.
Which category you had decides how much has to come out, so tell us the source when you call.
Insurance
Water damage versus flood in Florida insurance
Standard homeowners policies typically cover sudden water damage from inside the house, like a burst pipe, but exclude flooding from rising water outside, which is covered by a separate flood policy, such as one through the National Flood Insurance Program. Long, slow leaks are often excluded too. Your policy is the final word; we do not interpret coverage.
What we can do is document what we find with photos and measurements and put the repair in a written, itemized estimate you can share with your adjuster. See insurance restoration repairs.
Atlantic Beach
After a leak in Atlantic Beach: repairing the damage, not the pipe
In Atlantic Beach and the other Beaches cities, water damage usually arrives one of two ways: a plumbing failure inside the house, or storm-driven water during the summer rains. Either way the work splits in two, and it is worth being clear about which half is ours. Stopping the water — the pipe, the fixture, the roof — is a licensed plumber's or roofer's job. Braga does not repair leaks, and we will tell you plainly if the source is still active, because rebuilding over a live leak wastes your money.
Our half is the restoration of the room once the source is fixed and the materials read dry: water-damaged drywall and ceilings removed and replaced, texture matched, subfloor sections repaired, flooring and tile replaced, baseboards and trim reinstalled, and the whole room painted. Coastal homes get one extra check — salt air keeps humidity high, so we confirm the wall cavity and the slab are genuinely dry, not just dry to the touch, before anything is closed up. If the repair is part of an insurance claim, the scope is documented with photos and an itemized written estimate; see insurance restoration repairs.

FAQ
Water Damage Repair Questions
Yes. We can remove and replace damaged drywall, match texture and complete paint-ready finishing within the construction scope.
No. We provide construction estimates, scopes and photos; coverage and payment decisions belong to the insurance carrier and homeowner.
No. Plumbing is not advertised as our own service. We can repair the visible finishes after the source has been addressed by the appropriate licensed professional.
Within an approved construction scope we can repair drywall and ceilings, interior paint, flooring and tile, baseboards and trim, and accessible subfloor sections.
Stop the water and call a mitigation company for drying right away; mold can start within a day or two in Florida humidity. Call us for the rebuild once drying is underway.
Floating vinyl plank can often be lifted, the slab dried and the planks reinstalled. Carpet and pad soaked with gray or floodwater are replaced. Laminate and swollen wood usually are too.
No. Drying and mitigation are done by a water mitigation company. We rebuild once the materials read dry.
Once a licensed plumber has fixed the leak itself and the materials have dried, we repair the damage it left: drywall and ceilings, subfloor sections, flooring and tile, baseboards, trim and paint. We do not repair the pipe or the fixture — that is plumbing, and it has to be finished before the rebuild starts.
