Wade's Restoration in Tennessee

Wade’s Restoration in Tennessee

Wade’s Restoration specialists bring honest, owner-operated damage restoration to homeowners across Tennessee, backed by the Locally family guarantee that the price on the phone matches the price on the invoice. Since 2007, Wade Ferris has built his name on what national chains won’t do: he publishes his address, he answers his own phone, and he hands you a written moisture log at the end of every job. When water is spreading through your living room at 2 a.m. or mold is creeping behind your kitchen cabinets, you need someone who will be there himself, not a dispatcher reading from a script three states away. As part of the Locally family, Wade’s Restoration carries the same standard Ward Selby wrote down in 1997: a real name, a real address, a license you can look up, and a live person who answers when you call. Tennessee homeowners get the 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped on every contract, plus the peace of mind that Wade lives twenty minutes from the communities he serves, not in some corporate headquarters you’ll never find.

Why Tennessee Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration

Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 because he had seen the same thing Ward Selby heard about from neighbors: a homeowner calls a number, gets a quote that sounds reasonable, and watches it triple when the truck pulls up. Wade decided early that his name would go on the truck, his address would stay published, and he would run into his customers again at the hardware store on Saturday. That is the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it still works better than any corporate policy manual.

Here is what that looks like when your basement floods or a pipe bursts behind your wall. Wade answers the phone himself, 24 hours a day, no voicemail, no answering service, no runaround. He can have extraction equipment running inside the hour because he lives here, not in some regional office. His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to IICRC standards with professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, and B-Air. But the part that surprises homeowners is what happens after the water is gone.

Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job is done. Almost nobody in this trade does that. He also deals with your insurance adjuster directly, so you are never stuck relaying information between two sides while you are trying to live in a house that is torn apart. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped in writing on every restoration contract: if it is not done right, Wade makes it right. No charge for that. One call brings him back.

His credentials back up the work: IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized. But credentials are not why people call Wade a second time. They call because he said he would be there at 8, he was there at 8, and when the adjuster tried to lowball the rebuild, Wade had the documentation ready because he had been photographing and logging everything from day one. Ask anyone on your street who has used him. That is how this business grows in Tennessee towns.

Backed by the Locally Family

Every Wade’s Restoration job across Tennessee carries the Locally family guarantee: the owner’s name is published, the address is real, the license is verifiable, and the person who answers the phone is the person who shows up. Ward Selby started Locally in 1997 with one question in mind: are you actually local? The name itself comes from the word homeowners say out loud when they are deciding whether to trust someone with their keys. Wade Ferris meets that standard the same way every Locally company does, through the L.O.C.A.L. values 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. Other Wade’s Restoration in Texas - Damage Restoration teams follow this same code. When you hire Wade’s Restoration, you are not getting a franchisee or a subcontractor. You are getting Wade, his cell number, and his word that the price he says is the price you pay.
