Wade's Restoration in California

Wade’s Restoration in California

Wade S Restoration sales & service brings owner-operated damage restoration to homeowners across California, backed by the Locally family’s promise that the person who answers your call is the person who shows up. Since 2007, Wade Ferris has built his business on the kind of accountability that only works when your name is on the truck and your address is published where anyone can find it. California homeowners dealing with water damage, fire damage, or mold get a live person on the phone 24 hours a day, moisture logs they can hold in their hands, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped in writing on every contract. That’s the Locally standard, and it’s how Wade has served California families for over 29 years.

Why California Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration

Wade started this in 2007 because he’d seen the same thing Ward Selby saw back in 1997: a homeowner calls a number, gets a quote that sounds reasonable, and then a crew from three counties over shows up with a different price and nobody to call when it goes sideways. Wade does it the other way. His cell number goes to his pocket. He’ll tell you he lives twenty minutes away, and he means it. Ask anyone on your street - there’s a decent chance he’s already worked two doors down.

The 90-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a slogan on a billboard. It’s stamped in writing on every restoration contract Wade signs, water, fire, or mold. If it’s not done right, he makes it right. No charge for that. He takes moisture readings every single day of a job, hands the homeowner the full log when it’s finished, and deals with the insurance adjuster directly so you’re not stuck playing telephone between two people who won’t return each other’s calls. Almost nobody in this trade does the daily logs. Wade does them because he wants you to see the numbers, not just take his word.

His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC standards with RIA and IFA credentials behind them. They run professional-grade equipment - Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, B-Air - the kind of gear that actually dries a subfloor instead of just making it smell better for two weeks. But the equipment is only part of it. The other part is that Wade answers his own phone, including at 2 a.m. when a pipe lets go, and he can have extraction running inside the hour. No voicemail, no answering service, no runaround. The person who answers is the person who shows up, and the price he says on the phone is the price on the invoice. That’s not a marketing line. It’s the only way Wade knows how to work, and it’s why California homeowners who’ve been burned once don’t get burned twice.

Backed by the Locally Family

Locally started with a complaint, not a business plan. In 1997, Ward Selby kept hearing the same story from neighbors: 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 number a person answers, an address you can drive to, the owner’s name and face, a license number you can look up - and that list is still the entire standard. Wade’s Restoration carries the Locally name because Wade publishes all four. The L.O.C.A.L. values code applies to every job he runs across California: Local roots, On time, Community first, Accountable, Loyal. Wade would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. That’s why the Locally family stands behind him, and why California homeowners can call knowing exactly who will answer.
