Can mold on drywall be cleaned rather than removed?

No — not safely or permanently. Mold penetrates the paper facing and gypsum of drywall, and even after surface cleaning, spores remain embedded and will regrow when conditions permit. The only effective solution is removing the affected drywall entirely and replacing it with new board.

Do you handle the mold remediation or just the drywall replacement?

We handle the drywall removal and replacement. For small, isolated patches of mold on drywall — a few square feet — we can remove the affected board as part of our normal process. For more extensive mold growth that has reached the framing or insulation, we'll coordinate with or refer you to a certified mold remediation company first.

What type of drywall do you install in areas that had mold damage?

In areas prone to moisture — bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements — we install moisture-resistant (green board or purple board) drywall or cement board for tile areas. We also discuss vapor barriers and ventilation improvements as preventive measures.

About This Service

Mold on drywall cannot be treated — it must be removed, because the paper facing is an ideal food source for mold spores and no amount of bleach or anti-mold paint will stop established growth. We remove all affected drywall, dispose of it safely, allow the framing to dry fully, and then restore the wall with new drywall, tape, texture, and paint. For extensive mold situations, we coordinate with certified remediation professionals before closing up the wall.

Our Process

Assess the Extent

We determine the full affected area — mold often extends beyond what's visible on the surface.

Safe Removal

Affected drywall is cut out and bagged for disposal — we don't disturb mold unnecessarily.

Frame Inspection

Exposed framing is inspected for mold penetration — significant framing mold requires a remediation specialist.

Install New Drywall

After the area is cleared and dry, new drywall is hung — moisture-resistant board in bathrooms and basements.

Tape, Texture & Paint

Seams taped, texture matched, and paint applied — room is restored to its original condition.
