Professional Mold Restoration Services in Albuquerque, NM
Mold damage can leave your home or business feeling torn apart even after the mold itself is removed. Mold spreads through materials, stains finishes, and leaves behind warped walls, damaged floors, and a lingering sense that the building isn’t truly “okay” yet. Mold Removal Albuquerque provides full-service mold restoration serving the Albuquerque area, taking you from clean and remediated to fully repaired, finished, and comfortable again. We restore structures, surfaces, and spaces using industry-aligned methods so your property feels safe, solid, and welcoming after a mold event—call 505-359-5669 to start your restoration plan.
How much does Mold Restoration cost in Albuquerque?
Mold restoration in the Albuquerque area typically ranges from $2,500 to $40,000+, depending on damage severity, square footage, structural repairs, and level of finishes. A small wall rebuild in Nob Hill costs far less than whole-level restoration in Sandia Heights or a commercial project in Uptown. Because each property has unique moisture, mold, and repair conditions, the most accurate way to understand cost is to schedule a post-remediation assessment—call 505-359-5669 for a tailored mold restoration quote after your inspection and remediation are complete.
What mold restoration is and how it fits into the full mold recovery process
Mold restoration is the phase where we restore, repair, and rebuild your property after mold remediation and structural repairs are complete. First, mold remediation teams use containment, HEPA air filtration, and IICRC-guided procedures to eliminate mold colonies and reduce contamination; next, damaged materials are repaired or replaced; finally, the restoration phase finishes the job with new drywall, flooring, cabinets, paint, trim, and odor control so the space looks and feels “pre-loss” again. This matters for homes and businesses from Old Town and Downtown to Ventana Ranch and Mesa Del Sol because stopping at remediation alone often leaves visible scars—exposed studs, missing flooring, and patchy walls that hurt comfort and property value. Full mold restoration gives you a move-in-ready result instead of a half-finished construction zone; for example, a Nob Hill bungalow with severe mold went from bare studs and subfloors to a beautifully restored living room with new flooring and paint through our restoration work. If you want your place to look like the damage never happened, call 505-359-5669 to talk about mold restoration.
When you need Mold Restoration (not just cleanup or spot repairs)
Mold restoration becomes necessary when mold and moisture damage have spread far enough that simple cleanup and small repairs are not enough. Once drywall, insulation, subflooring, cabinets, or finishes in Albuquerque neighborhoods like Paradise Hills, Uptown, or the South Valley are heavily affected, you move from basic cleanup to full restoration that includes structural drying, reconstructing walls and ceilings, and replacing finishes. This matters because trying to “patch around” large-scale damage leaves hidden issues in moisture levels, air quality, and overall structural condition that can lead to recurring mold and ongoing discomfort. Full restoration brings everything—structure, surfaces, and indoor environment—back into alignment so you can live or work without worrying about what’s still behind the walls. For example, a Downtown rental unit with long-term bathroom mold needed complete restoration of the bathroom, hallway, and adjacent bedroom to stop repeated tenant complaints. If you’re looking at multiple rooms, severe staining, or missing materials, call 505-359-5669 to see whether mold restoration is the right level of service.
Why mold restoration matters for safety, comfort, and property value
Mold restoration protects your property by rebuilding damaged structures, restoring finishes, and improving air quality after remediation and repairs. Mold and water can weaken drywall, warp floors, and stain ceilings, and lingering damage can keep moisture levels, odors, and contamination risk higher than they should be in homes from Nob Hill to Sandia Heights. This matters because a partially repaired building may technically be “clean” according to IICRC remediation standards, but without full restoration you still live with compromised surfaces and a lower property value. Proper restoration upgrades materials where needed, refines ventilation, and ensures dehumidification and drying have been completed so mold is less likely to return. For example, in a Ventana Ranch home that had mold from a long roof leak, full restoration replaced damaged drywall, upgraded insulation, and installed new, more moisture-resistant flooring, resulting in a more comfortable and marketable property. If you want safety and appearance restored together, call 505-359-5669.
Our mold restoration process: from stripped-out to fully livable
Professional mold restoration follows a clear, step-by-step sequence that starts after mold remediation and any necessary mold damage repairs. Our team verifies moisture levels, plans the rebuild, and then restores walls, ceilings, floors, cabinets, and finishes using methods aligned with industry standards like IICRC S520 and S500. This matters in Albuquerque properties—whether in Old Town adobe homes or newer builds in Mesa Del Sol—because the wrong order of steps can trap moisture, harm air quality, or cause new cracks and warping after you move back in. Following a consistent restoration process gives you confidence that each phase builds safely on the previous one. If you want a process that takes you from bare studs to finished rooms, call 505-359-5669 to schedule a restoration walk-through.
Post-remediation inspection and moisture verification
Mold restoration begins with a detailed post-remediation inspection and moisture check using moisture meters and, when needed, thermal imaging. We verify that dehumidifiers, air movers, and HEPA filtration used during remediation have brought materials like framing, subfloors, and remaining drywall down to acceptable moisture levels in neighborhoods like Nob Hill, Uptown, and the South Valley. This matters because rebuilding too soon over damp materials can cause new mold growth, warping, and persistent odors even if EPA and IICRC remediation guidelines were followed earlier. Confirming dryness and cleanliness gives you a restoration that lasts instead of failing slowly behind the scenes. For example, a Downtown office space waited for one more day of dehumidification before ceiling restoration, avoiding future sagging tiles and stains. If you want your restoration to start from a stable, dry baseline, call 505-359-5669.
Damage assessment, planning, and estimating
Once the environment is stable, we assess the visual and structural damage and plan the restoration scope: which walls need drywall replacement, what floors need new coverings, what cabinets or trim should be rebuilt, and what level of finish fits your goals. We document damages with photos, notes, and moisture readings—helpful for insurance discussions and real estate disclosures in areas like Sandia Heights, Paradise Hills, and Old Town. This matters because clear planning reduces surprises, helps schedule trades, and creates a realistic timeline from the first coat of primer to the final walkthrough. A Nob Hill investor, for instance, received a detailed plan that covered bathroom rebuilds, bedroom repainting, and odor treatment after mold, allowing them to budget and schedule across units. If you want a transparent roadmap from damaged to restored, call 505-359-5669.
Selective demolition and prep (if additional tear-out is required)
Sometimes, partial tear-out has already occurred during mold remediation and mold damage repair; other times, additional selective demolition is required for full restoration. We identify remaining unsalvageable materials, protect clean areas with poly sheeting, and carefully remove what needs to go, using HEPA vacuums and containment to control dust and residual particles. This matters in Albuquerque homes and businesses where mold affected both visible finishes and hidden layers such as underlayment or insulation, especially in crawl spaces or basements near the South Valley and older Downtown structures. Controlled removal sets the stage for clean, straight lines that are easier to rebuild and blend with existing finishes. For example, in a Mesa Del Sol home, we removed only the lower section of stained drywall and baseboard along one wall, simplifying the subsequent restoration. If you want prep that sets up a smooth finish, call 505-359-5669.
Drying, dehumidification, and structural stabilization
After any additional demolition, we confirm that all exposed structural components, including framing, subflooring, and roof decking, are fully dry and stable. We may run dehumidifiers and air movers again and use moisture meters to double-check the readings, particularly in humidity-prone areas like bathrooms, basements, and mechanical closets. This matters because Albuquerque’s monsoon season, swamp coolers, and plumbing leaks can introduce hidden moisture even in our generally dry climate, affecting homes from Ventana Ranch to Four Hills Village. A fully dried and stabilized structure helps restored finishes last longer and makes it easier to maintain healthy indoor air quality. In one Uptown property, taking an extra day to finish drying ensured new flooring installed over the subfloor stayed flat and quiet. If you want restoration built on a truly dry foundation, call 505-359-5669.
Structural repairs and upgrades where needed
In many projects, mold damage repair has already replaced severely damaged framing or subflooring, but during restoration we may still complete minor structural adjustments or upgrades. We reinforce framing where necessary, adjust framing around openings, and verify that substrates are ready to accept new drywall, tile, or flooring. This matters where long-term leaks have slightly weakened framing members or where previous construction wasn’t optimal, such as older homes near Old Town or Downtown. Strengthening key areas now prevents future problems like cracked tile, uneven drywall seams, or noisy floors. For example, in a Sandia Heights residence, we sistered several joists affected by prior moisture before installing new subflooring as part of a whole-basement restoration. If you’d like your restoration to improve your structure—not just cover it—call 505-359-5669.
Rebuilding walls, ceilings, and insulation
Once the structure is solid, we rebuild wall and ceiling systems with new insulation, drywall, joint tape, joint compound, and texture that suits your style and neighborhood. In Albuquerque homes and businesses across Nob Hill, Uptown, and Paradise Hills, we often recommend mold-resistant drywall in bathrooms, basements, or laundry rooms to reduce future risk, while also ensuring air gaps and ventilation remain correct. This matters because new drywall installed over poorly insulated or unventilated cavities can invite condensation and future mold growth—even after a thorough IICRC-guided remediation. Done correctly, re-insulating and re-drywalling improve both comfort and energy efficiency alongside restored appearance. In a Mesa Del Sol home, restoring a mold-damaged family room wall with upgraded insulation and fresh drywall made the space both quieter and more comfortable. If you want walls and ceilings that both look and perform better, call 505-359-5669.
Flooring, cabinets, and trim replacement
After walls and ceilings are in place, we restore or replace flooring—such as carpet, tile, laminate, or engineered wood—along with cabinets, vanities, baseboards, and other trim. For homes in neighborhoods like Ventana Ranch, Paradise Hills, and the South Valley, we recommend flooring that handles local moisture risks better, especially after mold related to leaks or flooding. This matters because previously damaged materials like carpet and pad, swelling laminate, or moldy cabinet boxes cannot simply be cleaned and reused without risking recurring odor and contamination. New flooring and cabinetry give your property a refreshed appearance and make long-term maintenance easier. For instance, a Downtown rental unit that had mold under old carpet was restored with hard-surface flooring that resists future moisture issues. If you want a fresh, durable finish underfoot and at eye level, call 505-359-5669.
Painting, finishing, cleaning, and deodorization
The final steps in mold restoration include priming, painting, installing hardware, and performing a detailed cleaning with HEPA vacuums and appropriate cleaning agents. We also address odors using targeted deodorization techniques where necessary so your property smells fresh instead of musty when you walk in. This matters because mold events often leave behind subtle odors and dust that affect how “safe” and comfortable a space feels, even if mold spores have been reduced to acceptable levels. In homes and businesses across Old Town, Nob Hill, and Uptown, our clients notice the difference in both appearance and feel after this final stage. For example, a restored office near Downtown felt brighter and cleaner the day staff returned after we painted, cleaned, and deodorized the entire affected wing. If you want that “move-in day” feeling after a mold problem, call 505-359-5669.
Areas of your property we restore after mold damage
Mold tends to attack wherever moisture, temperature, and building materials create the right conditions, and our restoration services are designed to restore each affected area properly. We restore walls, ceilings, floors, bathrooms, kitchens, basements, crawl spaces, attics, and living spaces across Albuquerque—from Old Town and Downtown to Sandia Heights and Mesa Del Sol. This matters because every part of your property needs the right materials and methods: what you use for a bathroom shower wall is not what you use in a living room ceiling or a basement floor. Tailoring restoration to each zone protects both the structure and your comfort. If you want a single team to handle all affected areas instead of juggling multiple contractors, call 505-359-5669.
Walls and ceilings
Walls and ceilings are often the most visible reminders of mold damage—stains, sagging, patches, and missing sections. We rebuild with new drywall, insulation where required, joint compound, texture, and paint chosen to blend with nearby areas or update the look if you’d like an upgrade. This matters for homes and businesses in Nob Hill, Uptown, and the UNM area where aesthetics and resale value are important, and where past leaks from roofs, swamp coolers, or plumbing may have left lasting marks. Properly restored walls and ceilings support better air quality, because they conceal properly dried and treated cavities rather than hiding damp surprises. In one Ventana Ranch living room, new drywall and paint turned a formerly mold-stained ceiling into a clean, bright focal point.
Bathrooms and kitchens
Bathrooms and kitchens commonly suffer mold damage around tubs, showers, under sinks, behind refrigerators, and near dishwashers. We restore tile backer boards, wall finishes, cabinets, countertops, and flooring while keeping ventilation and moisture management in mind for homes in areas like Paradise Hills, Downtown condos, and Mesa Del Sol. This matters because these rooms see daily use, making any lingering damage or moisture issue a constant frustration. By combining proper substrate repairs with moisture-aware finishes, we lower the risk of repeat mold while improving usability and appearance. For example, a South Valley home with mold in the bathroom walls was fully restored with moisture-resistant backer board, new tile, and a better-placed exhaust fan, turning a problem room into a reliably dry space.
Basements, crawl spaces, and attics
Basements, crawl spaces, and attics may not be where you spend the most time, but they strongly influence your structure and air quality. We restore these areas by addressing damaged subfloors, structural elements, access hatches, and sometimes upgrading insulation and ventilation pathways. This matters in Albuquerque neighborhoods with crawl spaces or complex attic structures, such as Four Hills Village, Sandia Heights, and North Albuquerque Acres, where wind-driven rain, roof leaks, or landscape drainage can create hidden problems. Restoring these spaces correctly supports healthy, stable conditions throughout the building and reduces upward or downward moisture migration. In one crawl space beneath a Westside home, restoration of joists, insulation, and vapor barriers reduced drafts and improved comfort on the floors above.
Residential vs commercial mold restoration in Albuquerque
Residential and commercial mold restoration share core principles but differ in risks, requirements, equipment, and speed. In homes and apartments across Nob Hill, Old Town, Ventana Ranch, and the South Valley, we prioritize occupant comfort, safe re-entry, and restoring personal spaces like bedrooms and kitchens with minimal disruption. In commercial spaces around Downtown, Uptown, and industrial corridors, we coordinate with business owners, facility managers, and sometimes OSHA-driven safety programs to restore offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and warehouses while considering operations, foot traffic, and documentation needs. This matters because a family’s living room and a busy lobby demand different staging, scheduling, and communication. For example, a Downtown office restoration project after mold required night and weekend work to minimize downtime, while a single-family home in Paradise Hills was restored in phases so the family could safely occupy unaffected rooms. If you need a restoration strategy that respects your property type and schedule, call 505-359-5669.
Mold restoration, insurance, and real estate projects
Mold restoration often intersects with insurance claims and real estate transactions, especially when damage is extensive or long-standing. We help document conditions with photos, written descriptions, and moisture readings so you can communicate effectively with your insurance adjuster or buyer’s inspector. This matters for homeowners and investors in Albuquerque neighborhoods like Sandia Heights, Uptown, and Downtown, where the difference between “clean but damaged” and “fully restored” can significantly impact property value and insurability. A well-documented restoration project shows that mold was remediated, damaged materials were repaired or replaced, and the building was brought back to a stable condition. For example, an Old Town rental property upgraded its marketability after we completed full mold restoration, documented the work, and provided information for prospective buyers and tenants. If you’re navigating insurance or preparing a property for sale after mold, call 505-359-5669.
Why choose Mold Removal Albuquerque for full Mold Restoration

- Respect for safety, including PPE, dust control, and post-restoration cleanliness
How we help prevent future mold after restoration
Mold restoration isn’t just about making your property look good again; it’s also a chance to reduce future mold risk. We restore while keeping moisture control, ventilation, and air quality in mind, recommending improvements like better bathroom exhaust, updated kitchen venting, or smarter attic and crawl space airflow in neighborhoods from Nob Hill and Uptown to Four Hills Village and Ventana Ranch. This matters because Albuquerque’s unique combination of dry climate, monsoon storms, swamp coolers, and temperature swings can create condensation and leaks in surprising places. By using appropriate materials, sealing vulnerable areas, and explaining maintenance best practices, we help you prevent your restored investment. For example, during a restoration in the South Valley, we improved laundry room ventilation and recommended regular swamp cooler checks to reduce humidity and help the new finishes last longer. If you want your restoration to come with long-term mold prevention benefits, call 505-359-5669.
Local mold restoration across Albuquerque neighborhoods
Mold restoration needs to match local building styles, climate, and neighborhood patterns. In historic or older homes near Old Town and Downtown, we work carefully with plaster-like finishes, adobe walls, and older trim profiles while still replacing mold-damaged materials and stabilizing moisture. In Nob Hill, the UNM area, and Uptown, we often restore mid-century or contemporary spaces with open floor plans and diverse flooring types. In Ventana Ranch, Paradise Hills, and Mesa Del Sol, we regularly restore newer construction with modern insulation, HVAC systems, and multi-story layouts affected by roof leaks or plumbing breaks. This neighborhood-specific experience matters because you want your restored home or business to feel consistent with the rest of the property, not like a mismatched patch. If you’d like a restoration team that understands how Albuquerque’s neighborhoods are built and how they fail when moisture and mold get involved, call 505-359-5669 and speak with a local remediation specialist.
Mold Removal Albuquerque restores mold-damaged homes and businesses across the metro, from historic Old Town and central Downtown to Nob Hill, Ventana Ranch, Sandia Heights, and Mesa Del Sol.
Frequently asked questions about Mold Restoration
Mold restoration is the phase after mold remediation where we rebuild and refinish your property—replacing damaged drywall, flooring, cabinets, and finishes—so it looks and functions as it did before the mold event, or better.
After mold remediation and structural drying, we repair or replace damaged materials, reinstall insulation and drywall, restore flooring and cabinets, and finish with paint, cleaning, and deodorization to create a move-in-ready space.
Many mold-damaged homes can be fully restored once the moisture source is fixed, contaminated materials are removed, and the structure is dry and sound. Restoration then reconstructs and refinishes affected areas to pre-loss or improved condition.
The timeline depends on damage extent, trade coordination, and material availability. Small projects may finish in a week or two, while large multi-room or whole-home restorations can take several weeks or longer.
In some cases, you can occupy unaffected areas while we restore specific zones; in others, it’s safer and more practical to be away temporarily. We’ll discuss containment, noise, dust, and schedule before work begins.
Restoration significantly reduces future risk when paired with correct remediation and moisture control. Fixing leaks, improving ventilation, and keeping humidity in check all support long-term success.
