Water Damage Restoration · Key West, FL · Source details, contact options, quote requests, and local activity
This profile is tied to 235 Key Deer Blvd, Big Pine Key, FL 33043, not a Key West office. Gulfstream publishes Florida Keys coverage from its Big Pine Key base. This does not establish a Key West office; confirm dispatch, timing, travel or mobilization charges, crew availability, and the authorized scope for the property address.
About
RealReviews profileGulfstream Restoration LLC is an active Florida restoration company based at 235 Key Deer Boulevard in Big Pine Key. Its website publishes Florida Keys coverage and water, fire, mold, storm, hurricane, tarping, and reconstruction services; the Key West Chamber independently corroborates the current base, local phone, domain, and water or mold scope. This is a Key West service-area profile, not a Key West office. The outside Birdeye 5.0 from 14 metric was captured on July 26, 2026 and retains an older Summerland Key address, so RealReviews preserves the documented relocation and does not infer Key West-local sentiment, response time, availability, price, or workmanship.
Gulfstream Restoration LLC: what to know
RealReviews editorial research · checked 2026-07-26Gulfstream Restoration LLC is the geographically closest of the three new full-service candidates because its verified operating base is in Big Pine Key, not Miami-Dade or the Upper Keys. The supported case for calling it is concrete: an active Florida entity, a documented move to 235 Key Deer Boulevard, official Florida Keys coverage, a current general-contractor record tied to Mark Passero, a current mold-remediator record tied through the company team page, and official water, fire, mold, storm, tarping, and reconstruction claims. None of that proves a Key West office, present dispatch, arrival speed, equipment capacity, insurance, price, or job assignment. Treat the first call as a scope and dispatch verification, not a promise.
Strongest fit
- Key West owners who prefer to start with a full-service restoration company based in the Lower Keys
- Losses that may need water mitigation, storm stabilization, mold work, contents decisions, and a separate reconstruction phase
- Customers who want the contractor and mold credential chain identified before authorizing regulated or rebuild work
- Owners prepared to compare a measured written scope instead of relying on emergency marketing
Check before choosing
- Big Pine Key is the verified base; no Key West street office or coordinates are published on this profile
- Florida Keys coverage does not establish current crew availability, arrival time, or a mobilization price
- An active license does not prove insurance, assignment, workmanship, or that every listed specialty is self-performed
- The Birdeye metric carries an older Summerland Key address and cannot support Key West-local sentiment
Start with the verified Lower Keys base, not a Key West storefront
Gulfstream's strongest differentiator in this comparison is geography that the public record can actually support. Sunbiz records GULFSTREAM RESTORATION LLC as active and shows 235 Key Deer Boulevard in Big Pine Key as the current base after an address change recorded on November 21, 2024. The official site and Greater Key West Chamber listing point to the same Big Pine Key location. That is a useful Lower Keys operating anchor, but it is not a Key West office and must not be rendered as one.
For a Key West loss, ask a direct dispatch question: which crew would respond, where is that crew and its equipment now, is the request accepted or only queued, what travel or mobilization charge applies, and what event could change the plan? A company can truthfully cover the Florida Keys without maintaining a storefront on the island. The written answer should identify the responding legal entity and supervisor rather than substituting a coverage map for an arrival commitment.
The Summerland-to-Big-Pine move is part of the rating identity
The independent Birdeye page captured on July 26, 2026 reports 5.0 from 14 Google reviews and links Gulfstream's current official domain, but it still displays 22972 Overseas Highway in Summerland Key. RealReviews does not erase that discrepancy. Sunbiz supplies the recorded move to Big Pine Key, while the domain and company name connect the older rating surface to the current business. The relocation lineage must travel with the metric so a reader can see why the addresses differ.
The metric may answer one narrow question: an outside platform reported this company aggregate and review count on the capture date. It cannot answer whether reviewers used the present Big Pine operation, whether any job was in Key West, how recent the underlying work was, or how customers described response, billing, drying, mold work, or reconstruction. No review bodies were approved, so this profile gives no sentiment summary and does not call the company top-rated.
Use the broad service menu to separate phases, not to blur them
Gulfstream's official material publishes water, fire, mold, storm, hurricane, tarping, and reconstruction work. That breadth makes the company relevant when a loss crosses several phases: temporary protection, extraction, drying, cleaning, controlled demolition, contents handling, mold work, and rebuilding. It does not mean every phase belongs in one open-ended authorization. Require the estimate to name each phase, the measurable quantity, who performs it, the applicable credential, and whether it is fixed, unit-priced, time-and-material, or provisional.
For water work, request the source assumption, affected-material map, contamination category, initial readings, extraction boundary, demolition limits, equipment types and quantities, monitoring schedule, and drying endpoint. For fire or smoke work, distinguish structural cleaning, contents, odor work, specialty testing, demolition, and repairs. For storm work, separate temporary tarping or stabilization from permanent roof or building work. For reconstruction, require a second scope with permits, finishes, subcontractors, schedule, change control, warranty, and payment terms.
The credential chain is useful only when tied to the job
Florida's contractor record identifies Mark Passero doing business as Gulfstream Restoration LLC and showed CGC1524319 current and active when checked. The official team page identifies Adam Riccioni and publishes MRSR4735, and the current DBPR mold extract showed Adam Joseph Riccioni current and active in Big Pine Key when checked. Those are meaningful entity and scope anchors. They do not establish insurance, guarantee quality, or prove either person will supervise the customer's project.
Put the assignment into the proposal. Ask which legal entity signs, which license classification covers reconstruction or structural work, which individual is responsible for regulated mold remediation, who supervises daily work, and which tasks go to subcontractors. Verify the records again before signing because status can change. If a salesperson supplies a different number or name, pause until it resolves to the same entity and proposed scope. A badge or active record should narrow the verification, not end it.
A mold assignment needs four named roles
For a material mold project, identify four jobs before remediation starts: the assessor, the written protocol, the remediator, and the post-remediation verification or clearance party. Florida's conflict statute generally prevents a mold assessor or the assessor's company from remediating the same structure within 12 months and prevents a remediator or the remediator's company from assessing that structure within the same period, subject to statutory exceptions. The profile does not assume Gulfstream will fill every role.
Ask whether the project crosses the regulated threshold, who determined the affected boundary, what containment and negative-air plan is proposed, which materials will be removed or cleaned, how the moisture source will be corrected, and what completion criteria the independent party will use. An active remediator record supports a possible remediation role; it does not supply an independent assessment or clearance. Put the names, license numbers, deliverables, and conflict disclosures into the scope before demolition removes evidence.
Ask for dispatch economics before an emergency cap is consumed
No audited source supplies a Key West travel fee, minimum, equipment rate, after-hours rate, or response time for Gulfstream. The useful answer is therefore a required price structure, not a guessed total. Before authorizing more than immediate safety work, request the dispatch or mobilization charge, labor classifications and rates, equipment daily rates, monitoring visits, power or generator needs, demolition units, disposal, contents labor, storage, specialty testing, subcontractor markup, permit costs, and reconstruction exclusions.
Set an emergency spending cap and name who may increase it. If the initial scope is time-and-material, require daily or milestone reporting that shows labor, equipment, readings, removed materials, photographs, and remaining work. Ask when charges begin and stop, especially for equipment left in place. For an area-wide storm, confirm whether the quoted economics assume a local crew or an incoming team requiring lodging, transport, or additional staging. A complete estimate should make those contingencies visible before they become change orders.
Match the company to the property and loss, not just the category
Gulfstream is a sensible first call when the owner wants a Lower Keys-based company to discuss several connected phases. A clean-water condo leak may primarily need extraction, drying, association coordination, elevator and parking logistics, and a measured demolition boundary. A roof opening after wind may need safe temporary protection plus a separate permanent repair. A fire loss may add contents, odor, specialty cleaning, and reconstruction. Those jobs share a company name but not a scope.
Send the same incident brief to every candidate: source, discovery time, active-water status, rooms and materials, contamination concern, electrical or structural hazards, occupancy, floor, stairs, elevator, staging, parking, insurer status, photographs, and work already performed. Ask Gulfstream to accept, exclude, or qualify each requested phase. This makes its Lower Keys base an operational factor that can be compared with Tavernier and Hialeah alternatives rather than an unsupported claim that closer always means faster or cheaper.
Insurance coordination needs records, not a coverage promise
The company can document conditions and work, but the insurer decides coverage under the policy. Ask Gulfstream what photographs, moisture maps, readings, equipment logs, demolition records, contents inventories, invoices, and completion documents it will provide. Preserve the source report, pre-demolition conditions, removed-material quantities, samples when appropriate, and all authorizations. Do not allow a statement such as insurance will handle it to replace a price, payer, or scope term.
Read any work authorization, direction to pay, assignment, emergency-services cap, contents agreement, storage term, and reconstruction contract separately. Identify who can negotiate, collect, place a lien, select subcontractors, or expand the scope. If the adjuster and contractor disagree, request a line-by-line comparison. At completion, obtain final readings, equipment dates, removed-material list, unresolved environmental issues, warranty terms, and the exact reconstruction handoff. Documentation is part of the deliverable, not an optional courtesy.
The outside rating stays outside RealReviews
RealReviews stores the Birdeye source name, URL, 5.0 value, 14-review count, and July 26, 2026 capture date together. The profile renderer must label that metric as reported by Birdeye and not a RealReviews rating. It also carries the base-market and relocation caveat. No imported review body becomes a RealReviews review, and no customer theme is generated from the average.
Use the metric as a prompt for better evidence. Ask for recent references involving the same loss type, property form, contamination level, size, and mix of mitigation and reconstruction. Ask those references about scope clarity, daily records, equipment days, change orders, contents, insurer documentation, and closeout. A small outside aggregate cannot answer those questions for the current Key West job. The company's identity and supported operating model justify consideration; the written job terms decide whether it fits.
Use the profile, guide, catalog, and hub as one decision path
This profile handles the Gulfstream-specific decision: exact entity, Big Pine Key base, relocation history, published service scope, credential anchors, rating provenance, poor-fit conditions, and questions for the proposal. The Key West restoration guide supplies the emergency, drying, contamination, insurance, mold, and five-company comparison framework. The water-damage catalog is the conversion route for a single structured request. The business hub provides the wider local inventory.
Open the guide before choosing a provider, then give every selected company the same source, safety, material, access, insurance, and scope details through the four-step restoration form. The form is not emergency dispatch and does not promise participation, response, timing, price, or availability. Keep correction, owner-claim, and first-party review paths separate from the quote request so factual profile maintenance never becomes a condition of ranking or reputation treatment.
Before you book or visit
- Confirm the responding legal entity, supervisor, crew origin, and present dispatch status.
- Write the Big Pine Key base and Key West service-area boundary into the proposal; do not use a Key West office address.
- Separate water, fire, mold, storm protection, contents, specialty work, and reconstruction into measurable phases.
- Verify the contractor and mold records again and name the person assigned to each regulated or permitted phase.
- Identify assessor, protocol author, remediator, and clearance party before regulated mold work begins.
- Obtain mobilization, labor, equipment, monitoring, disposal, contents, subcontractor, permit, and reconstruction charges.
- Set an emergency cap and written change-approval process before work expands.
- Require readings, photographs, logs, removed-material records, invoices, and closeout documents.
- Treat Birdeye 5.0 from 14 as an attributed company metric with relocation and locality limits, not sentiment.
- Use the same incident brief for all candidates and compare accepted scope, exclusions, dispatch, and total terms.
