Wade's Restoration in Minnesota

Wade’s Restoration in Minnesota

Wade’s Restoration brings honest, owner-operated damage restoration to homeowners across Minnesota as part of the Locally family. Since 2007, Wade Ferris has been the name on the truck, the voice on the phone, and the face at your door when water, fire, or mold hits your home. Minnesota winters are hard on houses. Pipes burst in January basements in Albert Lea. Ice dams send water down through kitchen ceilings in Red Wing. Spring thaws flood crawl spaces in places the national chains have never heard of. Wade has. He’s lived here, worked here, and run into his customers again at the hardware store for nearly two decades. As a Locally company, Wade publishes his address, stands by his license, and puts his cell number in your hand. The price he says on the phone is the price on the invoice. Period.

Why Minnesota Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration

Minnesota homeowners have learned the hard way that not every truck with a local area code belongs to someone who actually lives here. Wade Ferris started Wade’s Restoration in 2007 because he’d watched too many neighbors get a quote on Sunday night and a bill on Monday morning that looked nothing like it. His answer was simple: put his own name on every contract, every truck, and every moisture log.

When your sump pump fails at 2 a.m., you call a number and Wade answers. Not an answering service in Dallas. Wade. He’ll tell you straight whether you need him tonight or if a fan and a dehumidifier will hold until morning. If he comes, he comes himself, with background-checked technicians in uniform and equipment he owns: Dri-Eaz and Phoenix dehumidifiers, Injectidry systems for wall cavities, XPOWER and B-Air air movers. He’s IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized, but what Minnesota homeowners remember is the daily moisture reading he hands them at job’s end, written down, dated, in a log almost nobody else in this trade keeps.

Wade deals with your insurance adjuster directly. You’re not stuck playing telephone between two parties who both talk faster than you do. He documents everything, photographs everything, and coordinates billing so you’re not floating thousands on a credit card while someone else figures out what happened. 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 forms to mail, no corporate escalation line, no “let me check with my manager.” One call brings Wade back.

That’s the difference between a national chain and a man whose address you can drive to. Wade lives twenty minutes away from the communities he serves. Ask anyone on your street. He’s probably already worked two doors down.

Backed by the Locally Family

Wade’s Restoration in Missouri - Damage Restoration carries the same Locally name because Wade answered the only question our customers actually ask: are you actually local? 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 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. Wade publishes all four.

Every Wade’s Restoration job across Minnesota is backed by the Locally Promise: the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up, and the price he says on the phone is the price on the invoice. Our L.O.C.A.L. values code means Wade has roots here, shows up when he says he will, hires and buys in Minnesota communities, answers for his own work, and would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket. That’s not marketing language. It’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is: he’s going to run into you again on a Saturday.
