Our Story

One Crew in 2010. Two Hubs Today.

Palm Build began in 2010 with a single crew, a loaded trailer, and a simple commitment: show up fast, do the work right, and document every step. Michael Carr started the company after watching homeowners get rushed through mitigation with little communication and less accountability — and decided there had to be a better way.

That early work was hands-on, late-night, and carrier-tough. Every scope was personal. Every drying log was built for the adjuster. Every crew that rolled out carried the same instruction: treat the home like your own family's. It's the same standard our teams run on today, just with more equipment, more experience, and more hands to run it.

16 years later, Palm Build operates from two staffed hubs — Deerfield Beach, FL and Charlotte, NC — with pre-loaded vehicles, IICRC-certified technicians, and 24/7 dispatch. Our founders still lead from the field. Every operations manager reports to ownership. And every project, whether a single-family water loss or a multi-million-dollar commercial rebuild, runs on the same discipline that Michael set in motion in 2010.

Founder Spotlight

Founder & CEO · Since 2010

Michael Carr

Michael founded Palm Build in 2010 with a single crew and a hard rule: show up fast, do the work right, and document every step so the homeowner and the adjuster are on the same page. 16 years later, that rule still governs every job the company runs.

Today Michael leads operations across both hubs — Deerfield Beach, FL and Charlotte, NC — and still spends time on active losses. Every field supervisor, every project manager, and every carrier-facing scope rolls up to him directly.

"Every loss is personal. We show up fast, tell you exactly what we'll do, and document every step. That's the standard — and it's the same whether you're a homeowner in Deerfield or a property manager in Charlotte."

Tools & Standards

The Same Platforms Your Carrier Uses

Restoration is as much documentation as it is demolition and drying. Palm Build uses the industry-standard estimating, methods, and handoff systems so your scope, your claim, and your project all stay aligned.

Estimating Platform

Xactimate Line-Item Estimating

We use Xactimate — the same estimating platform your insurance adjuster uses — for scope development on every claim. Line-items match carrier expectations from day one, so there are no billing surprises and no reconciliation fights.

  • Line-item codes aligned to carrier databases
  • Supplemental claim workflow built in
  • Scope approval tracked through closeout

Industry Standards

IICRC S500 & S520 Methods

Every water mitigation job follows IICRC S500 standards. Every mold remediation follows S520. Drying logs, containment documentation, and moisture mapping are standard on every loss — not upsells.

  • S500 water damage restoration protocols
  • S520 mold remediation standards
  • Technicians hold WRT, ASD, FSRT, AMRT credentials

Documentation

Carrier-Ready Handoff Package

Daily progress photos, moisture readings, equipment placement records, and scope updates compiled into a single package at project handoff. Everything your adjuster, board, or facility team needs — in one place.

  • Daily photo logs and drying readings
  • Time-stamped scope and change orders
  • Final handoff package delivered digitally

Client Results

Recovery Stories from the Field

Homeowners, HOAs, and commercial property teams count on us for fast stabilization and clear communication.

Maria & James Thompson
Hurricane water intrusion

Maria & James Thompson

Deerfield Beach, FL

"Palm Build had crews on-site the same morning, contained the damage, and documented everything for our carrier."

The Challenge

A severe storm pushed water into ground-floor living areas, driving moisture deep into drywall cavities and subflooring. The homeowners needed a partner who could stabilize the property and build a clean scope for their insurance carrier without delay.

Our Response

Crews mobilized within the hour. Water extraction, selective demolition, and containment began the same morning. Moisture mapping ran daily, and every photo and reading flowed straight into a carrier-ready Xactimate scope.

The Outcome

Dry standard reached in four days. Scope approved without dispute. Reconstruction was coordinated through our in-house team so the family worked with one point of contact from water removal through final walkthrough.

Robert Chen
Commercial fire cleanup

Robert Chen

Charlotte, NC

"They treated the fire loss like a mission—clear updates, clean job sites, and respectful crews around our tenants."

The Challenge

A fire loss at an occupied commercial property meant soot, smoke odor, and active tenant operations all had to be managed at once. The owner needed containment, cleanup, and ongoing updates without disrupting neighboring suites.

Our Response

Palm Build staged crews from the Charlotte hub, set up containment and HEPA filtration, and coordinated work windows around tenant schedules. Daily status notes went to the owner, the property manager, and the adjuster in parallel.

The Outcome

Full soot and odor remediation completed with tenants still operational. Carrier approved the scope on first review. Reconstruction handled in-house so nothing was handed off to an outside sub.

Westside Medical Group
Mold remediation

Westside Medical Group

Fort Lauderdale, FL

"Containment, HEPA, and documentation were done right. Our downtime was a fraction of what we expected."

The Challenge

An active medical practice discovered mold behind interior walls and needed remediation that protected patients, equipment, and ongoing operations. IAQ and containment standards had to be airtight.

Our Response

Work followed IICRC S520 protocols from day one — hard containment, HEPA-filtered air scrubbers, and negative air machines. The team sequenced work around appointment blocks so critical areas stayed usable.

The Outcome

Remediation and clearance testing wrapped ahead of schedule. Downtime was a fraction of the worst-case estimate. Full documentation delivered for facility and carrier records.
