Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Long Beach
Reconstruction and cleanup in Long Beach runs $1,800 to $9,500 for most drywall and flooring repair jobs, $4,500 to $38,000 for full-room rebuilds after water or fire damage, and $900 to $2,800 for carpet and upholstery cleaning plus post-construction cleanup. Wade’s Restoration of California gets a live person on the phone when you call, and Wade has a crew heading to your neighborhood inside the hour for emergency water extraction. We know Long Beach’s older housing stock, the marine air that keeps things wet, and the canal-front foundation problems on Naples Island that no inland contractor ever sees. Call (855) 915-0646 and you’ll talk to a real person, not a queue.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Long Beach’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and he still answers his own phone. That matters in Long Beach, where homeowners in Belmont Shore, Naples, Bixby Knolls, and the Wrigley district have been burned by national outfits that quoted one number on the phone and a different one at the door. Wade’s name is on the truck. His address is published. You’ll see him again at the hardware store, which is the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
Our Long Beach customers keep bringing us back because we hand them the full moisture log at the end of every job. Every single day, Wade’s crew takes moisture readings with professional meters and writes them down. Almost nobody in this trade does that. For Reconstruction & Cleanup work in Long Beach, that documentation separates a covered insurance claim from a denied one, especially on Naples Island where adjusters know pre-existing moisture plagues those foundations.
We’re IICRC-certified and RIA-affiliated, but the credential Long Beach homeowners care about most is this: Wade deals with your insurance adjuster directly. You’re never the one stuck relaying information between two sides. That’s why our customers in 90802, 90803, 90804, and 90808 keep our number saved.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Long Beach
Full-Service Reconstruction
Full reconstruction in Long Beach means rebuilding walls, ceilings, and floors after water, fire, or storm damage, and doing it so the result matches what was there before. In older Long Beach homes, that’s a bigger lift than in the tract-built suburbs. A 1930s Spanish Colonial Revival in Belmont Shore has arched doorways, clay tile details, and lath-and-plaster walls. A vinyl-wrapped drywall patch would look wrong. Our Long Beach crews rebuild with mold-resistant drywall, match period trim profiles, and replicate original details. We also coordinate the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC trades so you don’t have to.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Drywall repair in Long Beach typically runs $450 to $2,200 per room for water-damaged sections, and flooring repair runs $6 to $14 per square foot for hardwood or tile replacement depending on material. What drives cost up in this city specifically: older homes in 90804 and 90805 often have two or three layers of old flooring over original subfloor, and some of those layers contain asbestos. We test before we tear out, and we handle the hazmat protocol so you aren’t left with a dangerous mess. For post-storm repairs around doors and windows, we use moisture-resistant materials that won’t re-mold in Long Beach’s humid marine air.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a flood or fire damages a Long Beach home, the contents often need to leave before reconstruction starts. We pack out your furniture, clothing, documents, and personal items, take them to a secure climate-controlled facility, and clean or restore each piece. On a Belmont Shore job last year, our contents team packed out and restored a homeowner’s period furniture from the 1930s while we rebuilt the damaged walls. The furniture came back cleaner than it had been in decades, and the homeowner didn’t lose a single heirloom. Contents pack-out and restoration in Long Beach runs $1,200 to $6,000 for a typical water loss, depending on volume.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Carpet and upholstery cleaning in Long Beach runs $150 to $500 for a standard three-bedroom home, and we use truck-mounted extraction equipment that pulls moisture out rather than soaking surfaces. In Long Beach’s coastal marine layer, carpets that stay damp after a “steam cleaning” can smell musty within a week. Our process leaves carpets dry in hours, not days. We also handle post-construction cleanup after our own rebuilds and after other contractors’ work, removing dust, debris, and the fine drywall particles that settle into every crevice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Long Beach
We run professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz for dehumidification, Injectidry for in-place drying of walls and floors, and Phoenix for high-capacity air movers. In Long Beach’s persistent humidity, the right equipment is the difference between a five-day dry-down and a three-week limbo where mold gets a foothold. Our Long Beach customers don’t wait on parts because we keep materials stocked locally and our suppliers are in the region. Fast turnaround means your home gets put back together faster, and you’re back in your own bed sooner.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Long Beach Homes
- Wind-driven storm damage around doors and windows: Santa Ana wind events push rain horizontally against the west and south-facing sides of homes in 90802 and 90803. Reconstruction that looks fine on a calm day leaks again when the next wind event hits, so we reinforce door and window openings before we close up the wall.
- Pre-existing moisture in canal-front foundations: On Naples Island, canal water sits near foundation level year-round. We regularly find efflorescence on stem walls and prior mold staining under the “new” damage. Documenting those pre-existing conditions before demo is critical, because adjusters often try to classify the entire loss as long-term seepage instead of the covered storm or plumbing event.
- Salt-air corrosion accelerating hidden damage: The Port of Long Beach’s salt-laden marine air pushes inland through 90810, 90806, and 90802. Copper and galvanized plumbing corrode faster, and mold colonizes behind walls more quickly than in inland cities like Lakewood or Paramount. By the time a Long Beach homeowner sees water damage, it’s often been developing longer than they realize.
- Asbestos and transite pipe in pre-WWII housing stock: Long Beach has an unusually dense concentration of 1920s and 1930s homes, many repaired after the 1933 Long Beach earthquake. Demo work in 90802, 90804, and 90805 frequently uncovers asbestos-laden floor tiles and transite pipe. We test before we cut, and we handle the abatement with licensed partners so the job stays legal and safe.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Long Beach
Naples Island canal-front homes sit on fill land surrounded by seawater canals, so the foundation stays in contact with moisture year-round. The sub-slab moisture wicks up through stem walls and keeps materials damp even after we extract standing water. We run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Injectidry drying mats longer on these jobs, typically adding 2 to 5 days to the dry-down compared to an inland home, and we document the moisture readings daily so your adjuster sees the full picture. Call (855) 915-0646 if you’re dealing with a wet Naples home and need a crew that understands the foundation conditions there.
You need moisture logs, photo evidence of pre-existing conditions, and a clear written separation between the new loss and any older damage. In Long Beach’s 1920s bungalows, especially the 1933 earthquake-era repairs common in 90802 and 90804, adjusters often dispute whether damage predates the reported loss. Wade’s crew documents pre-existing efflorescence and mold staining with moisture mapping and photos before demo starts, then rebuilds with mold-resistant materials. We hand you the full log at the end, and we deal with your adjuster directly. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll explain exactly what documentation your claim needs.
Yes. We’ve rebuilt arched doorways, matched clay tile details, and restored period trim profiles in Spanish Colonial Revival homes across Belmont Shore and the surrounding neighborhoods in 90804. Our carpenters and finishers work from the original details still in your home, replicate them in mold-resistant materials, and stain or paint to match. The goal is a rebuild that looks original, not a patch job. Call (855) 915-0646 to get a written scope that includes matching your specific architectural details.
We stop work, test the material, and bring in licensed abatement partners if the test comes back positive. Long Beach’s pre-WWII housing stock in 90802, 90804, and 90805 contains enough asbestos-laden floor tile and transite pipe that we assume it’s present until testing proves otherwise. We never cut into suspect material, and we handle the hazmat protocol so the job stays legal and your home stays safe. The discovery adds time and cost, but skipping the testing is how you end up with a home that fails inspection or puts your family at risk. Call (855) 915-0646 if you suspect asbestos in your Long Beach home and need a crew that handles it properly.
Because your furniture, clothing, and personal belongings are worth more than the drywall, and they can’t be properly cleaned if they stay in the house while reconstruction happens. We pack everything out to a secure climate-controlled facility, document each item, clean or restore what’s salvageable, and return it after rebuild is done. In Belmont Shore and Naples, where floodwater often contains canal water or storm debris, contents need more than a surface wipe. Pack-out and restoration runs $1,200 to $6,000 for a typical water loss, and it’s usually covered as part of the claim. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll walk you through the process before you decide.
