We apply elastomeric coatings (stretchable, crack-resistant paint), polyurethane sealants, and membrane systems that keep water OUT. Critical for roofs, balconies, pool decks, and exterior walls below grade. Licensed, $2M insured, 25+ years across Broward County.
Here's what Hollywood building code actually requires: Hollywood sits in coastal flood zones. Hurricane rains + storm surge + high water table means waterproofing isn't optional — Miami-Dade building code requires it for any major renovation.

💡 What we learned in 25 years: Waterproofing failure isn't dramatic — it's a slow leak that rots your framing for years before you see a stain.
We've worked across Hollywood's neighborhoods for over 25 years. Each area has its quirks:
Hollywood isn't a typical inland city — and painting here isn't typical either. Here's what we watch for:
In Emerald Hills, country club, golf course, USGA #1 in South FL. Properties here sit in flood-zone conditions where waterproofing isn't optional — Miami-Dade and Broward building codes require it for any major renovation, and we know the inspection details that get jobs approved first time.
In Hollywood Hills, mid-century ranch, spacious lots, value-add opportunities. Waterproofing failure here isn't dramatic — it's a slow leak that rots framing for years before you see a stain. Elastomeric coatings, polyurethane sealants, and membrane systems are how we keep water out.
In Hollywood Lakes, art deco, Mediterranean revival, near beach. Coastal flood zones, high water table, hurricane storm surge — every property here needs a different waterproofing stack. We assess flood elevation first, then build the system.
South Florida runs at 60-80% relative humidity year-round, with hurricane season (June through November) bringing wind-driven rain that finds every weak point in exterior coatings. Salt air from the coast accelerates oxidation on metal trim and chalking on older paint. On the ground, two patterns drive material choice: oldest housing in broward (1969) — cast iron plumbing, aluminum wiring, asbestos, lead paint; and coastal ve zones with strictest flood requirements.
Properties here sit in flood-zone conditions where waterproofing isn't optional — Miami-Dade and Broward building codes require it for any major renovation, and we know the inspection details that get jobs approved first time. That's why a waterproofing job here that lasts 5+ years requires materials and prep that wouldn't be necessary 200 miles inland — and why most failed jobs we get hired to redo are the result of contractors who treated this like a normal market.
💡 The honest truth: If someone quotes you a price without visiting the property first — walk away. Every Hollywood job is different. Flood zones, HOA rules, building code, and material choices all change the scope. We always come look before we quote.
For Hollywood homes (typical value $448,000-$499,000), waterproofing projects typically run $800 to $5,000. We give free on-site estimates with no pressure.
Permit requirements vary. For routine work, usually not. For major projects or any work in historic districts, yes — contact Building Division, 2600 Hollywood Blvd to verify. We handle permit paperwork when hired.
Hollywood has significant sfha — coastal ve, inland ae, barrier island highest risk flood zone exposure and sits in Broward County. OLDEST housing in Broward (1969) — cast iron plumbing, aluminum wiring, asbestos, lead paint
Typical Hollywood waterproofing job: 2-5 days. Proper prep takes the most time — skipping it is why most jobs fail early. We'd rather take the extra day than redo work.
