Our Story
Restore + Renew is a family-run mold remediation company built to transform sick homes into healing spaces.
We find the true source of the problem — not just the visible damage — and walk you through making your home well again, from the first discovery to the day you breathe easy in it. Because no one should have to wonder whether the place they live is the thing making them sick.
A Note from Monica
Morgan and I never set out to start a mold remediation company. Restore + Renew was born from a deep personal need following our own winding journey.
Morgan was diagnosed with a terminal illness and stage 4 heart failure, went through chemotherapy, made it to remission and still was worsening. At a time when we should have been celebrating hope, we were still actively planning his funeral. All the while, my symptoms were ramping up — rashes, heart palpitations, brain fog, lethargy, hair loss, and a food intolerance list a mile long, growing by the minute. After numerous doctor’s visits without answers, and the ever unhelpful suggestion of a psych consult, we finally by the grace of God found a functional practitioner who took us seriously. She was the first to suggest mold illness.
It still took another nine months to find the problem. Two companies came to take air samples and told us everything was fine. The third actually checked inside our walls, attic, and HVAC. It was everywhere — just hidden. The worst case scenario was the best news I’d ever heard in my life!
Our remediation did not go as we’d hoped and resulted in Morgan studying the protocols himself, finishing the work in our home, and earning clearance from the assessor. Word began to spread and the phone began to ring.
We struggled with the idea of creating a business around devastatingly painful moments for so many. After a little resistance and a lot of prayer, Morgan finally surrendered to the Lord’s prompting and obtained his license — as it turns out, the weight of leaving families without an option to heal was far heavier.
The path back home had far more turns than we would have liked — necessary side steps and a few knee-jerk reactions led to seven moves, several years, and a considerable amount of resources wasted. But with each questionable decision, we gathered more information on what not to do. We made every mistake, so you don’t have to.
Our best healing has happened right back in the home that made us sick — we’ve welcomed a new little one into the world, Morgan’s been downgraded to stage 2 heart failure, and our children are thriving, emotionally and physically.
Our hearts ache alongside each of you as you enter this season. No matter how large or small, mold is never something any of us plan for. It is my sincere hope that Restore + Renew will be a source of encouragement and truth for you as you walk forward. We are a living testimony — healing is possible.
With hope,Monica
How we work
Three convictions that shape every project.
We tell you the truth, even when it’s hard.
That includes telling you when the honest answer is to walk away from the project, or even from the purchase. We’d rather lose the work than take your money on false hope.
We work to make your home well, not just to pass clearance testing.
A passing test is the floor, not the goal. We remediate to make the home genuinely well to live in, not just well enough to clear — because you and your family are the ones who have to breathe there afterward.
We create the path, and coordinate the trades.
We’ve seen homes go sideways because the right work was done in the wrong order. So we build the roadmap and coordinate the trades who need to come in — in the sequence that keeps your home well — so you’re not left managing a crisis you didn’t ask for.
The team
The hands you’ll come to know by name.
We’re small by design. When you call, you’re not reaching a call center or a crew hired for the week — you’re reaching the same people who’ll be with you from the first walk-through to the last.
Founders
Morgan Gilliam
Co-Founder
Morgan is in the details on every project — boots on the ground for consulting, visiting each home as needed, and reviewing every report before it reaches you. He has a hand in every pot, because the work is personal to him.
Monica Gilliam
Co-Founder
Monica spent years in the office and on long calls walking each client through their hardest days. She’s stepped back from the phones to bring that same education off the calls and into the open — so more families can find the answers we once couldn’t.
In the Office
Cassie Hurst
Office Coordinator
Cassie is often the first voice you’ll hear. She handles scheduling and is here for your questions — a steady, calm place to start when everything else feels overwhelming.
Michelle Ta
Project Assistant
Michelle works behind the scenes — building your proposals, preparing your Functional Home Discovery reviews, and coordinating with Juan so nothing falls through the cracks.
In the Field
Marshall Gilliam
Functional Home Discovery Specialist
Marshall is the one who spends days in your home finding the source — patient, thorough, and unwilling to settle for the easy answer. He handles the measurement and discovery appointments that the whole plan is built on.
Juan Vasquez
Project Manager
Juan is your consistent presence on site, coordinating between the crew, Morgan, and Michelle so the work stays on track and you always know what’s happening in your home.
A home should be the place you go to get well — not the thing keeping you sick. That’s the work we do, and the reason we do it.
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
