Wade’s Restoration in Nebraska
Wade’s Restoration brings honest, owner-operated damage restoration to Nebraska homeowners who’ve learned the hard way that a friendly voice on a 1-800 number doesn’t mean much when water’s pouring through your ceiling. Since 2007, Wade Ferris has handled water extraction, fire damage cleanup, mold remediation, and full reconstruction across Nebraska with the same rule he started with: his name’s on the truck, his address is published, and he’s going to run into you again at the hardware store on Saturday. As part of the Locally family, our Wade S Restoration services carry our guarantee - the owner’s name, a local address you can drive to, and a license number you can look up before you ever pick up the phone.
Why Nebraska Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration
Nebraska weather doesn’t give you a warning. A summer derecho tears through, an ice dam backs up into your walls, or a water heater lets go while you’re at the grandkids’ ballgame. When that happens, you don’t need a call center in Dallas reading from a script. You need Wade Ferris, who answers his own phone and can have extraction running inside the hour.
Wade’s been at this since 2007, but he’s been serving local communities for over 29 years. He’s not competing on volume. He’s competing on the fact that you’ll see him again at the grocery store, which means he can’t afford to cut a corner. His 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing on every restoration contract - if it’s not done right, he makes it right. No runaround, no “we’ll send someone else out.” One call brings Wade back.
Here’s what almost nobody in this trade does: Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job’s done. That documentation goes straight to your insurance adjuster too, because Wade deals with them directly. You’re not stuck playing telephone between two sides while your drywall sits wet. His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and running professional-grade equipment - Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, B-Air - backed by IICRC certification, RIA affiliation, and IFA recognition.
And when you call, a live person answers. Twenty-four hours a day. No voicemail, no answering service, no “press 3 for water damage.” Sometimes it’s Wade himself. He’ll tell you what it’s going to cost, and that’s what the invoice says.
Backed by the Locally Family
Locally started in 1997 with a retired county extension agent named Ward Selby who got tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state plates, phone quote tripled at the door, number disconnected by Monday. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes - local area code, published address, owner’s name and face, license number you can look up - and any company willing to publish all four could carry his name. That list is still the entire standard.
Wade’s Restoration meets that standard on every job across Nebraska. The L.O.C.A.L. values code isn’t decoration here. Wade has local roots - an address in this region, not a call center three states away. He’s on time, or he calls. He hires here, buys here, sponsors the team here. He answers the phone and puts his name on the work. And he’d rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. That’s the Locally family promise, and it’s how you know “are you actually local?” is answered before you ever make the call.
