Wade’s Restoration in Georgia

Wade’s Restoration brings damage restoration to Georgia homeowners the way it ought to be done: by a man who puts his name on the truck and his address where you can look it up. Since 2007, Wade Ferris has been the owner-operator alternative to the national chains that roll through Georgia with out-of-state plates and pricing that shifts between the phone call and the front door. As part of the Locally family, Wade’s Restoration carries a promise that matters in Georgia’s small towns and rural counties: the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says is the price on the invoice. Across Georgia, homeowners dealing with water damage, fire damage, and mold get Wade’s 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped in writing on every restoration contract, backed by nearly three decades of serving local communities.

Why Georgia Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration

Wade Ferris started this company because he saw the same thing Ward Selby saw back in 1997: good people getting hurt by operators they couldn’t verify until it was too late. Wade’s answer was to be the opposite of that. His address is published. His license number is published. His name is on the truck. In Georgia, where a lot of us live twenty minutes from our nearest neighbor and word still travels at the hardware store, that matters.

Here’s what that looks like when your basement’s flooding at midnight. You call, and a live person answers. No voicemail, no answering service, no runaround. Wade himself answers his own phone, and he can have extraction running inside the hour. That’s not a slogan; that’s how he runs the business. His technicians are background-checked and uniformed, and they show up with equipment that actually works: Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, B-Air. Wade’s IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized, which means the industry’s highest standards get applied to your job, not just the ones that are convenient.

But the thing that separates Wade from almost everybody else in this trade is the paper trail. He takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job’s done. Almost nobody does that. He also deals with your insurance adjuster directly, so you’re never stuck in the middle relaying information between two sides who don’t talk to each other. And if something’s not right, Wade’s 90-Day Done Right Promise means he makes it right, in writing, on every water, fire, and mold restoration job. One call brings Wade back. Ask anyone who’s used him.

For Georgia homeowners who’ve already been burned once by a quote that tripled at the door, Wade’s approach is simple: no-hassle upfront pricing, a written scope before work starts, and a face you’ll see again at the Piggly Wiggly or the feed store. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.

Backed by the Locally Family

Every Wade’s Restoration job across Georgia carries the Locally 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. The person who answers is the person who shows up, and the price on the phone is the price on the invoice. It’s the same standard Ward Selby wrote down in 1997, and it’s still the only thing Locally sells. Wade lives by the L.O.C.A.L. code: Local roots with an address in this county, not a call center three states away; On time with a window that means something; Community first, hiring here and buying here; Accountable, with the owner answering the phone and putting his name on the work; Loyal, building twenty-year relationships instead of chasing one big ticket. When you hire Wade’s Restoration in Indiana - Damage Restoration or here in Georgia, you’re not getting a franchise. You’re getting Wade.
