Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Citrus Heights
Reconstruction and cleanup in Citrus Heights usually takes longer than the initial water or fire damage call because the real work starts once the walls are open. Most full-service reconstruction jobs in Citrus Heights run $8,000 to $35,000 depending on what’s hiding inside the framing. We have been doing Reconstruction & Cleanup work in the 95610, 95611, and 95621 ZIP codes long enough to know what those walls usually contain. Call Wade directly at (855) 915-0646 and he will tell you straight what you are looking at before anyone touches a hammer.
This is not a company where you get one crew for the emergency and a different one for the rebuild. Same owner, same crew, same person who answers the phone at midnight. Wade heads out with his people and stays on the job until it is done right. That is why homeowners near Sunrise Boulevard and along Auburn Boulevard call us first, and it is why we give every water, fire, and mold restoration job a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Citrus Heights’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
We are local and owner-operated. Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and still runs every job personally, which means the name on the truck is the person at your door. He publishes his address and license number, and he will give you his cell. In Citrus Heights, that kind of accountability still means something.
What we hear from Citrus Heights homeowners again and again is that a national outfit quoted one price over the phone and showed up with another one at the door. That is not how we work. We write the scope before work starts and stick to it. Wade deals with the insurance adjuster directly, so you are never the one relaying moisture readings or explaining containments between two sides. And the moisture log? You get the full daily log at the end of every job. Almost nobody in the trade hands over that much paper, but Wade thinks you should know exactly what happened inside your own walls.
Response time to Citrus Heights matters when a half-dried slab is sitting under your kitchen. We are set up to move fast, with crews already familiar with the ranch homes off Greenback Lane and the neighborhoods around the Sunrise Mall area. We do not need to learn your street on the drive over.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Citrus Heights
Full-Service Reconstruction
Reconstruction in Citrus Heights almost always means working inside a 1960s or 1970s frame. That changes the job. Walls that have never been opened since the house was built often have aluminum branch wiring, galvanized supply lines, and asbestos-containing texture. We plan for hazardous-material testing on any job involving structural disassembly, because in this housing stock it is not an added cost, it is the first step. We handle the full rebuild: framing, insulation, drywall, paint, trim, doors, and flooring, and we schedule abatement coordination before drying or rebuild work begins.

Drywall & Flooring Repair
When water has been sitting in a slab-on-grade Citrus Heights home, the drywall wicks moisture upward and the flooring hides what is underneath. We cut drywall at the right height, not the convenient height, and we dry the cavity completely before closing it back up. On flooring, the older tract homes off Sunrise Boulevard often have original 1960s asphalt tile underneath multiple layers of vinyl. If that bottom layer comes up positive for asbestos, we stop, contain it, and bring in a licensed abatement crew. You do not get a do not-ask do not-tell floor patch from us.

Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When reconstruction runs more than a few days, your furniture and belongings need to go somewhere clean and dry, not sit under plastic in the garage. We do full pack-out, inventory every item, clean and deodorize it, and store it properly. If hazardous materials are involved, we adjust the pack-out plan so contaminated items are not mixed with clean ones. In wildfire smoke seasons, which hit Citrus Heights for weeks every late summer and fall, contents cleaning matters even when there was no direct fire damage.

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Reconstruction leaves dust. Drywall sanding dust, sawdust, and general construction grime settle into carpet and furniture. We run professional-grade cleaning from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, including hot water extraction and air scrubbers, so the house is fully cleaned, not just structurally rebuilt. For post-construction cleanup in Citrus Heights homes with forced-air systems, we also push to clean the HVAC ducts, especially after wildfire smoke has been cycling through the system for months.

Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Citrus Heights Homes
- Asbestos floor tile and popcorn ceilings under newer finishes. The original 1960s asphalt tile sits under vinyl layers in homes across the 95610 and 95621 ZIP codes. Water damage forces floor removal, the bottom layer tests positive, and the job becomes regulated abatement. If the first crew does not test, you get a stop-work order and double labor.
- Aluminum branch wiring and galvanized supply lines. Opening walls on a 1970s tract home can reveal aluminum wiring that is now brittle and dangerous to disturb, plus galvanized pipes that have corroded from the inside. A rebuild that ignores these is a rebuild that fails later.
- Slab-on-grade moisture migration in carport additions. Many Citrus Heights ranch homes have post-and-beam carport conversions on slab foundations. During atmospheric river storms in the Sacramento Valley, water saturates the ground and wicks up through the slab. If it is not dried properly on the first pass, mold comes back weeks after cleanup.
- Wildfire smoke saturation in HVAC and wall cavities. Citrus Heights sits close enough to the Sierra foothills that smoke settles in for weeks in late summer and fall. Reconstruction after a fire or heavy smoke event means cleaning ducts, sealing wall cavities, and neutralizing odor with more than air freshener.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Citrus Heights
Because Citrus Heights was built out almost entirely in the 1960s and 1970s as an unincorporated Sacramento County suburb, creating a dense concentration of same-era tract homes with original asbestos-containing floor tiles and textured popcorn ceilings. When reconstruction means opening walls or removing flooring, testing is required by law before disturbance. Skipping it triggers stop-work orders and double labor. Call (855) 915-0646 and we will walk you through what testing looks like for your specific home. Free estimates.
We treat aluminum branch wiring as a hazard until an electrician verifies otherwise, because 1960s and 1970s aluminum connections are known to overheat at splice points. We do not splice modern copper onto old aluminum without proper transition methods and inspection. If it is compromised, we stop and bring in a licensed electrician before insulation or drywall goes in. That is the difference between a rebuild that lasts and one that burns.
We stop demolition immediately, set up containment, and coordinate a licensed asbestos abatement crew before drying the slab and rebuilding the floor. This happened on a Sunrise corridor ranch where our crew stripped water-damaged flooring and found original 1960s asphalt tile under three layers of vinyl. The bottom layer tested positive. We handled it in one clean, safe pass and kept the family in a properly contained space the whole time. If you suspect this in your home, call us before you pull anything up.
Yes. We separate contaminated items from clean ones, use proper containment during pack-out, and clean or dispose of items according to what the hazardous material is. Asbestos tile, lead paint dust, or smoke-contaminated clothing each require different handling, and our crew is trained to follow the rules for each. We photo-document everything for your insurance adjuster, so nothing gets questioned later.
Wildfire smoke settles into HVAC ducts, wall cavities, insulation, carpet, and upholstery, even when no flame touched your home. In Citrus Heights, which gets blanketed by smoke for weeks each late summer and fall, reconstruction after a smoke event requires more than wiping surfaces: ducts get cleaned, wall cavities get sealed, and contents get deodorized with professional methods. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will tell you honestly whether your job calls for cleanup only or full remediation. Estimates are free.
