Wade’s Restoration in West Virginia
Wade’s Restoration handles water, fire, and mold damage restoration across West Virginia as part of the Locally family. Wade Ferris founded the company in 2007 after seeing the same pattern Ward Selby had spotted a decade earlier: out-of-state trucks, phone quotes that ballooned at the door, and owners who vanished once the check cleared. Wade does the opposite. His name is on the truck, his address is published, and his cell number goes to a live person 24 hours a day, including Wade himself. For West Virginia homeowners dealing with a burst pipe in February or a chimney fire in October, that means extraction can start within the hour, moisture gets logged every single day, and the insurance adjuster hears from Wade directly, not from you playing telephone between two strangers.
Why West Virginia Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration
Wade’s been at this since 2007, but his roots in this work go back over 29 years. He does not compete on volume. He competes on the fact that you will see him again, probably at the hardware store, probably on a Saturday. That is the oldest accountability mechanism there is, and it is why he puts his 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing on every restoration contract. If it is not done right, he makes it right. No charge for that.
Here is what almost nobody in this trade does: Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job ends. You see exactly how dry your walls got and when. He also deals with your insurance adjuster directly, so you are never stuck relaying information between two sides who do not talk to each other. His technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and equipped with professional-grade gear from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, and B-Air. They carry IICRC certification, RIA affiliation, and IFA recognition, which are the industry’s highest standards, applied to every job, whether it is a flooded basement in a hollow or smoke damage in a hillside ranch.
The price Wade says on the phone is the price on the invoice. No bait and switch, no surprise line items once the crew is inside your house. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7, no voicemail, no answering service, no runaround. Ask anyone on your street who has used him. Wade lives twenty minutes away from the communities he serves, not three states over.
Backed by the Locally Family
Every Wade S Restoration sales & service job across West Virginia carries the Locally guarantee. That means the owner’s name, a local address you can drive to, and a license number you can look up are all published before you call. The person who answers the phone is the person who shows up. The price on the phone is the price on the invoice. Locally started in 1997 when Ward Selby, a retired county extension agent, got tired of hearing the same story: out-of-state plates, tripled quotes, disconnected numbers. He wrote down what a homeowner could verify in five minutes, and that list is still the entire standard. Wade Ferris met that standard and then some. The Locally family does not sell solutions or partner with you. We make “are you actually local?” a question you can answer before you call, not after you have been burned.
