Why Calabasas Homeowners Choose Wade’s Restoration of California
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and put his own name on the truck. That may not sound like much, but in a trade where national franchises send a rotating cast of subcontractors, it matters. Wade lives by the oldest accountability mechanism there is: he’s going to run into you again, at the farmers market or a Saturday soccer game, so the job better be done right the first time.
Homeowners in Mont Calabasas and Calabasas Hills have called us for everything from slab leaks under custom oak flooring to woolsey-era smoke odor that returned when the Santa Anas kicked up. We’re IICRC-certified and RIA-affiliated, we document moisture readings daily and hand you the full log at the end, and we deal with your insurance adjuster directly. You never have to relay messages between two sides. Every water, fire, and our Mold Remediation in Calabasas carries the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right.
Damage Restoration Services We Offer in Calabasas
Water Damage Restoration
Burst supply lines, water heater failures, and slab leaks under Calabasas slab-on-grade homes are the calls we take most often. Our crew runs Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment and shoots moisture readings into wall cavities where stucco hides the real damage. Learn more about our Water Damage Restoration in Calabasas.
Mold Remediation
Calabasas’s dry season doesn’t mean mold can’t thrive; a slow leak behind a bathroom wall in a 1980s tract home in the Mulwood area can go unnoticed for months. We contain, remove, and verify with air and surface sampling, and Wade hands you the results. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Calabasas.
Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration
The Woolsey Fire changed how Calabasas thinks about smoke. Even homes that never saw an open flame can carry soot deep in attic insulation and HVAC ducts after a Santa Ana wind event pushes embers over the hills. We handle deodorization, structural cleaning, and full rebuild. Learn more about our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Calabasas.
Storm & Disaster Restoration
When winter rains hit fire-stripped slopes in the Santa Monica Mountains, Calabasas Storm & Disaster Restoration becomes critical because debris flows and mud don’t respect property lines. We tarp, board up, extract, and start the drying process before secondary damage sets in. Wade’s crew has pre-arranged gate access where possible so equipment isn’t stuck waiting at a guardhouse.
Sewage Cleanup
A backed-up sewer line under a Calabasas Park home is an emergency. We extract, disinfect, and remove any contaminated material, always in full PPE and with transparent disposal records. It’s the kind of job nobody wants to think about until it’s happening to them.
Biohazard & Crime Scene Cleanup
We respond with discretion and respect, handling everything from medical incidents to unattended deaths. Safety and thoroughness come before everything else. Our crews are background-checked and trained for the worst situations.
Reconstruction & Cleanup
After the dry-out and demolition comes the rebuild. Calabasas homes are loaded with premium finishes-stone flooring, custom cabinetry, coffered ceilings-so we bring specialty subcontractors who know how to restore rather than replace on the cheap. This work is scoped, scheduled, and priced in writing, not rushed through in a day.
Neighborhoods We Serve in Calabasas
Wade’s crew works across both ZIP codes, 91302 and 91372, and we’re on scene most days in under an hour for water emergencies. A few of the neighborhoods we know best include:
- The Oaks at Calabasas
- Mont Calabasas
- Calabasas Hills
- Mulwood
- Calabasas Park
Why Calabasas’s Climate & Housing Affect Damage Restoration
Calabasas sits inside a state-designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and the 2018 Woolsey Fire proved how fast wildfire and smoke can sweep through hillside neighborhoods. But here’s what most people don’t plan for: the damage cycle doesn’t stop when the flames do. Fire-stripped Santa Monica Mountain slopes funnel debris flows and ash-laden runoff directly into canyon-backing properties each winter. Restoration crews here face a two-phase pattern: Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration - Calabasas in fall, then mudflow and water intrusion on the same structures a few months later. That sequence rarely happens in flat Valley cities to the east, which means Calabasas homeowners need a restoration company that understands both seasons, not just one.
The housing stock adds another layer. Calabasas incorporated in 1991, and most homes date from the 1970s through 2000s: upscale gated-community tract homes and custom canyon estates with stone flooring, custom cabinetry, and coffered ceilings. Those premium finishes demand specialty subcontractors and extend timelines compared to standard tract work. Stucco exteriors and tile roofs trap smoke residue in wall cavities and ridge vents, making post-fire deodorization and structural drying more involved than homeowners expect. And the prolonged dry season leaves wood framing and attic insulation so desiccated that smoke penetrates far deeper into building envelopes than it would in a coastal or humid climate.
Pricing for Damage Restoration in Calabasas
Water extraction and drying for a single room in Calabasas typically runs $1,200 to $3,500 depending on how far water traveled and what finishes need to be saved. A full mold remediation on a bathroom or crawl space usually lands between $1,800 and $6,000. Fire and smoke restoration is much harder to ballpark without seeing the structure, but plan on $4,000 to $25,000 for anything beyond surface cleaning. Wade gives you a written scope before work starts, no surprises after. He also honors a $40 discount on any repair over $200, a free second opinion on any written estimate, and no trip charge anywhere in the county. Seniors and veterans get 10% off, always. Call (855) 915-0646 for exact numbers.

What Calabasas Customers Say
"Excellent emergency response and honest about what could and could not be saved. The equipment ran in the house for six days and the noise was genuinely hard to live with, though he did explain why it had to."
- Grantham Fairweather"The first company I rang wanted to tear out the hardwood immediately. Wade said if he could get it dry in seventy two hours it would come back, and it did. Saved us the floor and a great deal of money."
- Esperanza Villarreal"Supply line let go under the sink while we were away for the weekend and we came home to two inches through the whole ground floor. Wade had extraction running within the hour of my call and he was the one who answered it."
