From Damage to Dream Home: How Not Your Average Mold Guys Turns Mold Remediation into Full-Scale Remodeling in Cedar Park

From Damage to Dream Home: How Not Your Average Mold Guys Turns Mold Remediation into Full-Scale Remodeling in Cedar Park

It’s a scenario we’ve seen time and again in Cedar Park: A homeowner discovers mold—hidden behind drywall, under cabinets, or in the attic. Panic sets in. But what starts as a problem can quickly become an opportunity for transformation.

At Not Your Average Mold Guys, we’ve always been Cedar Park’s go-to team for safe, thorough mold remediation. But now, we’re taking it a step further. We don’t just remove mold—we rebuild, redesign, and remodel your home into a healthier, more beautiful version of itself.

If you’ve experienced water damage or mold problems—or just want to update a part of your home that’s seen better days—this blog is for you. We’ll explore how we blend remediation with remodeling to restore your peace of mind and elevate your space.

Why Combine Mold Remediation with Remodeling?

Here’s the truth most contractors won’t tell you: Mold damage is almost always a sign that something needs to change. Whether it’s poor ventilation, outdated materials, or substandard waterproofing, the conditions that allow mold to grow must be addressed during reconstruction.

That’s why we expanded our services. Cedar Park homeowners shouldn’t have to hire a second team to rebuild their bathroom, kitchen, or attic after mold removal. Instead, we offer:

• Seamless project continuity

• Experienced remodeling crews familiar with structural damage

• Design upgrades tailored to your space and budget

• One point of contact for the entire process

We don’t just leave your home mold-free—we leave it better than before.

The Most Common Mold-to-Remodel Projects We See in Cedar Park

1. Mold-Damaged Bathrooms → Custom Spa Bathrooms

Problem: Leaky showers or tubs cause hidden mold in tile walls and subflooring
Solution: After safe remediation, we fully remodel the bathroom with waterproofing, new tile, and mold-resistant materials

Upgrades Often Include:

• Frameless glass showers

• Large-format tile or stone

• Floating vanities with smart storage

• Built-in shelving and lighting

• Ventilation systems with humidity sensors

Bonus: We install materials like mildew-resistant grout and mold-inhibiting paint to ensure problems never return.

2. Water-Damaged Kitchens → High-End, Functional Kitchens

Problem: Slow plumbing leaks or roof leaks cause mold behind cabinets
Solution: We remove damaged cabinetry and drywall, then build a brand-new kitchen with improved layout and moisture control

Our Kitchen Remodels Include:

• Custom or semi-custom cabinetry

• Quartz or granite countertops

• New backsplashes with moisture barriers

• Improved lighting and ventilation

• Floorplan adjustments to enhance flow

Many Cedar Park clients use this opportunity to upgrade their kitchen while insurance helps cover a portion of the necessary work.

3. Moldy Attics and Crawlspaces → Storage or Flex Spaces

Problem: Poor ventilation and roof leaks allow mold to grow in attics or under the home
Solution: Once remediated, we insulate, seal, and convert these spaces for usable storage or even finished square footage

Optional Upgrades:

• Spray foam insulation

• Built-in storage systems

• New lighting and flooring

• Climate control for long-term storage safety

4. Garage Conversions After Mold → Fully Finished Rooms

Garages are notorious for water intrusion, especially in older Cedar Park homes with poor drainage. Once we handle the mold, many homeowners choose to convert the space into:

• A home gym

• Office

• Media room

• Guest suite

We install drywall, flooring, insulation, and even plumbing where needed—giving you more livable space and adding serious resale value.

What Sets Us Apart from Other Remodeling Companies?

Most remodelers focus only on finishes—paint colors, tiles, layouts. At Not Your Average Mold Guys, we take a health-first approach to remodeling.

Here’s what makes us different:

1. We Rebuild from the Inside Out

Before any cosmetic upgrades, we address the root causes of water and mold issues:

• Proper ventilation

• Foundation sealing

• Moisture barriers

• Plumbing upgrades

2. We Use Mold-Resistant Materials

From subfloor to ceiling, we use:

• Mold-inhibiting drywall (like purple board or green board)

• PVC trim in bathrooms

• High-quality vent fans

• Closed-cell spray foam insulation

3. We Understand Insurance and Remediation Protocols

If your remodel is linked to a water or mold claim, we help coordinate with insurance and ensure all remediation is properly documented.

Cedar Park Case Study: Turning Disaster into Dream Space

When a Cedar Park homeowner discovered extensive mold behind their bathroom vanity, they called us in for emergency remediation. After safely removing the damaged drywall, flooring, and cabinetry, we presented them with a design plan.

In just 3 weeks, we transformed their outdated bathroom into a spa-inspired sanctuary with:

• Heated floors

• Dual vanities

• A walk-in shower with rain head

• Soft LED lighting

• Mold-resistant materials throughout

The result? A healthy, elegant new space—built to last.

When You Should Consider Remodeling After Mold Removal

✅ The affected space was already outdated
✅ You’ve experienced repeat water issues
✅ Insurance is covering a portion of the demolition
✅ You want to upgrade health, air quality, and materials
✅ Your family’s needs have changed (e.g., aging in place, new pets, growing family)

At Not Your Average Mold Guys, we work with you to determine which repairs are essential and which improvements can add long-term value.

Remodeling Without Mold? We Do That Too!

While we specialize in post-remediation remodeling, many Cedar Park clients come to us for general renovations, including:

• Kitchen and bath remodels

• Room additions

• Garage conversions

• Flooring and paint updates

• Custom cabinetry and tile work

The difference? We bring the same high standards for safety, durability, and detail to every remodel—mold or not.
