Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is San Dimas’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 with his own name on the truck and his own phone in his pocket. That hasn’t changed. When you call, you get Wade. When his crew shows up in San Dimas, they’re background-checked, uniformed, and working with professional equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix. We hold IICRC certification and stay active with RIA and IFA, which matters when your insurance adjuster wants documentation that holds up.
Ask anyone on your street off Bonita Avenue or up toward Via Verde. The old accountability thing still works. Wade runs into his customers at the hardware store, at the farmer’s market, at the kids’ ball game. He’s not going to cut a corner and then hope he never sees you again. He’s going to see you. That’s the whole point.
Response time to San Dimas is honest, not marketing fluff. We answer calls 24/7 with a live person. For water or mud intrusion, Wade heads out the same day. Reconstruction is different: that work gets scoped, scheduled, and priced in writing like a remodel, because that’s what it is. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying before the first wall comes down.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in San Dimas
We cover the full rebuild path, from the first assessment to the final coat of paint. Here’s what that looks like for San Dimas homes specifically:
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a fire burns through attic framing or a mudflow buckles a garage wall, you need more than a patch job. We cut out the damaged material, reframe, rewire where needed, insulate, drywall, and finish. San Dimas homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often had a single-panel drywall that’s no longer stocked at the big box stores. We match it. If your home is a Craftsman-era place near the Bonita Avenue downtown corridor, we’ll match the original plaster and trim profiles instead of slapping up something that looks wrong from the moment it’s painted.
Expect full reconstruction on a single room to start around $6,000 and climb with structural complexity. A whole-home rebuild after fire or mud can exceed $40,000, and that’s when having Wade dealing directly with your adjuster pays off.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
A burst supply line or a mud-filled first floor usually means drywall replacement and flooring work in one pass. In San Dimas, we’re often matching mid-century oak strip flooring that’s been refinished once or twice already. We can feather in new boards, sand, and stain them to blend with the original. Drywall repair after water damage in an older home usually runs $850-$2,400 per room depending on how much wall has to come out and whether any insulation or framing is involved.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a kitchen wall comes down or a garage is full of mud, everything in the room needs to go somewhere safe. We pack out your belongings, clean and restore what’s salvageable, store it off-site, and bring it back when the room is rebuilt. In San Dimas, mud intrusion from post-fire runoff is a repeat offender, and the contents that survive it usually need more than a wipe-down. We document everything with photos for your claim. Contents restoration with pack-out typically runs $1,800-$6,500 depending on the volume and what was damaged.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After the rebuild is done, the dust settles everywhere. Carpet, upholstery, drapes. We do a post-construction clean that gets the fine drywall dust and construction residue out of your fabrics. For San Dimas homes near the foothills, Santa Ana season adds another layer of fine dust that works into carpet fibers. A whole-home carpet and upholstery cleaning runs $300-$900 depending on square footage and how many rooms need deep extraction.
Trusted Brands We Service in San Dimas
We run Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment on every drying job, and we use XPOWER air movers for the heavy lift in tight San Dimas crawl spaces. When your home needs reconstruction after a failed supply line or mud intrusion, the equipment matters, but so does the person reading the gauges. Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log at the end of the job. Almost nobody in this trade does that. It’s the difference between a wall that’s actually dry and a wall that looks dry until the mold shows up six months later.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in San Dimas Homes
- Mud and sediment intrusion after wildfire runoff. When the Angeles National Forest slopes burn and the first hard rain follows, canyons funnel debris straight into foothill neighborhoods. Mud pushes through garage door seals and fence lines, fills crawl spaces, and buries first floors under a foot of sediment before anyone can react.
- Corroded original galvanized supply lines. The 1950s-1980s tract homes that dominate San Dimas were plumbed with galvanized steel. Decades of hard municipal water leaves scale and pinhole leaks hidden inside walls. You open a wall for one repair and find the whole run needs replacement before you can rebuild.
- Santa Ana wind-driven ember damage. Homes on the northern edges of San Dimas catch embers in attic vents and fascia boards during Santa Ana events. The exterior looks fine. The framing behind it is charred and has to be cut out before new drywall or roofing goes on.
- Material matching in older homes. Single-panel drywall, original oak flooring, Craftsman trim profiles. Big-box materials stand out like a bad toupee. We source and match the original so the repair disappears.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in San Dimas
We start with sediment extraction using specialized vacuums and manual removal, then structural drying with Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and XPOWER air movers, then assessment of what framing, drywall, and flooring has to come out. Standard water-damage protocols don’t cover this. Mud carries minerals, ash, and fine particulates that wick moisture deep into materials and ruin them fast. Homes within a few blocks of the San Dimas Wash and canyon mouths get this worst. If you’re seeing mud in your garage or first floor, call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll be on the road.
Stop the water at the main shutoff, then call us. Original galvanized supply lines in 1950s-1980s San Dimas tract homes carry decades of hard-water scale that hides pinhole leaks. Once a wall is open and we find corroded original pipe, the right move is usually a full run replacement, not a splice. We’ll photo-document everything for your insurance claim and give you a written scope before we cut anything else out.
Yes. We match original plaster, single-panel drywall, trim profiles, and flooring species in San Dimas’s older homes. After a cold-water supply line failed in a 1960s ranch home off Bonita Avenue, our crew found the original galvanized piping so corroded that we had to replace the entire main run before rebuilding the water-damaged kitchen wall. We used Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and XPOWER air movers for structural drying, then matched the existing single-panel drywall and refinished the original oak flooring to blend with the home’s mid-century character. That’s the standard here, not the exception.
We photograph everything, log every moisture reading daily, and hand you the full record at the end. Wade deals with the adjuster directly so you’re not stuck relaying information between two sides while your house sits wet. Post-fire mud intrusion claims need documentation that shows causation: where the sediment came from, how it entered, and what it damaged. We build that file as we work. Insurance almost always covers this, but the quality of the documentation determines how much.
We assess the door and the tracks, then replace or repair what’s actually damaged and rebuild the wall or framing behind it if the pressure got that far. Buckled garage doors in foothill neighborhoods usually mean the seal failed and the frame took the hit too. We’ll scope it in writing before any work starts, and we’ll work the claim with your adjuster. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll come look at it free.
