Wade’s Restoration in Florida
Wade’s Restoration specialists handle water, fire, and mold damage restoration across Florida as part of the Locally family. Since 2007, Wade Ferris has run the company owner-operated, with his name on the truck and his address published where anyone can verify it. Florida homeowners get the 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped in writing on every restoration contract, plus the Locally guarantee: the owner you speak with is the owner who shows up, and the price on the phone matches the price on the invoice. Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, including Wade himself, who can have extraction equipment running inside the hour when water is spreading through your floors.
Why Florida Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration
Wade started this company after watching national chains roll through Florida towns with the same playbook: quote low on the phone, triple it at the door, and by the time the job goes sideways the number’s disconnected. He built Wade’s Restoration on the opposite idea. His cell is the number you call. He lives twenty minutes from the communities he serves. Ask anyone on your street who’s used him, and they’ll tell you Wade was there himself.
Every job comes with documented moisture logs that Wade takes daily, start to finish. At the end, you hold the full record in your hands. Almost nobody in this trade does that. He also deals with your insurance adjuster directly, so you’re not stuck playing telephone between two sides while your kitchen cabinets warp. The 90-Day Done Right Promise means if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right, and that promise is stamped in writing on every water, fire, and mold restoration contract before work begins.
His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. They use professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, and B-Air. But the equipment is only part of it. Wade’s been serving local communities for over 29 years, and he answers his own phone at midnight when a pipe bursts. No voicemail, no answering service, no runaround. One call brings Wade back.
Backed by the Locally Family
Locally started in 1997 when a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby got tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state plates, a quote that tripled at the door, and a number that stopped working. He wrote down what a homeowner could actually 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 carries the Locally name. Wade’s Restoration meets that standard. The L.O.C.A.L. values, Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal, apply to every Florida job Wade takes. He hires here, buys here, and sponsors the team here. And he’ll run into you again on a Saturday, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
