Wade's Restoration in New York

Wade’s Restoration in New York

Our Wade S Restoration services bring honest, owner-operated damage restoration to homeowners across New York, backed by the Locally family’s promise that the person who answers your call is the person who shows up at your door. Since 2007, Wade Ferris has built his reputation on what the big chains won’t do: daily moisture logs you can hold in your hand, direct conversations with your insurance adjuster so you’re never the messenger, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped in writing on every contract. For New York homeowners who’ve learned to ask “are you actually local?” before they let anyone inside, Wade’s Restoration is the answer. We’re part of the Locally family because Wade publishes his name, his address, and his license number upfront, and because he’ll be the one you see again at the hardware store.

Why New York Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration

Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 after watching too many neighbors get passed between voicemail systems while their basements filled with water. He decided to compete on the one thing no national chain can fake: showing up himself. When you call Wade’s Restoration, a live person answers, 24 hours a day. That person might be Wade. He answers his own phone, and he can have extraction equipment running inside the hour when the situation calls for it.

Here’s what that means in practice. Wade takes moisture readings every single day your job is active, not just on day one and day last. At the end, he hands you the full log. Almost nobody in this trade does that, but Wade’s been burned by guesswork too, and he won’t ask you to trust what you can’t see. When insurance is involved, and it almost always is, Wade deals with your adjuster directly. You’re not stuck relaying measurements between two people who won’t talk to each other. He documents everything with photos, coordinates the scope of work in writing, and makes sure the price he says is the price on the invoice.

His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC standards with RIA and IFA credentials behind them. They use professional-grade equipment: Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, B-Air. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers every water, fire, and mold restoration job. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right, and that’s in writing, not a handshake you hope he remembers. Wade lives here, works here, and his name is on the truck. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it’s why New York homeowners who’ve been burned once don’t get burned twice.

Backed by the Locally Family

Locally started in 1997 when Ward Selby, a retired county extension agent, got tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state plates, a quote that tripled at the door, and a phone number that stopped working. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes: a local phone number a person answers, an address you can drive to, the owner’s name and face, and a license number you can look up. Any company that publishes all four can carry the Locally name. That list is still the entire standard.

When you hire Wade’s Restoration through Locally, you get the L.O.C.A.L. guarantee: real roots in this state, not a call center three states away; a time window that means something; hiring and buying in the communities we serve; Wade himself answering for the work; and a relationship built for twenty years, not one big ticket. We also offer Wade’s Restoration in North Carolina - Damage Restoration for homeowners outside New York. The word “Locally” is the answer to the only question that matters when your home is damaged and you’re deciding who to trust. Wade Ferris put his name on the truck so you don’t have to wonder.
