Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Citrus Heights
When a water heater lets go in a 1968 ranch home off Sunrise Boulevard, or a kitchen fire chars drywall in a Greenback Lane tract house, you need a crew that knows what’s behind those walls before the first sheet comes out. Wade’s Restoration handles Reconstruction & Cleanup in Citrus Heights with the straight-ahead approach this city was built on: show up, tell you what’s actually there, and fix it right. Call (855) 915-0646 and you’ll get Wade himself on the line, not a call center. He’s been running jobs in the 95610, 95611, and 95621 ZIPs long enough to know what a 60-year-old slab-on-grade house hides under the floor.
Why Citrus Heights Chooses Wade’s Restoration of California for Reconstruction & Cleanup
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and still answers his own phone. That’s the whole pitch. When you call about a reconstruction job in Citrus Heights, you’re talking to the man whose name is on the truck, not a rotating crew of subcontractors. He’s spent 29 years in restoration, and he’s not shy about publishing his address and license number. Ask anyone on your street off Sylvan Road or around Arcade Creek whether Wade did right by them. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing on every water, fire, and mold restoration contract we sign in Citrus Heights. If it’s not done right, Wade comes back and makes it right. No fine print, no phone tag.
Response time matters when you’re staring at a sagging ceiling in a 1970s split-level near Antelope Road. Wade heads out himself, often within the hour, and brings extraction equipment that works. Not rental-store junk. Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, Phoenix air movers, Injectidry floor mats. And because Citrus Heights is full of same-era tract housing, our crew already knows what to look for before demolition starts. That’s not a brochure claim. It’s the difference between a three-day drying job and a three-week abatement nightmare.
We’re IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized. Wade’s crew is background-checked and uniformed. And every single water, fire, and mold restoration job in Citrus Heights comes with documented moisture readings. Wade takes them daily and hands you the full log when the job’s done. Almost nobody in this trade does that. You shouldn’t have to wonder if your walls are actually dry.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Citrus Heights
Full-Service Reconstruction
Citrus Heights homes built from roughly 1955 to 1980 weren’t framed with future renovation in mind. Post-and-beam carport additions, low-pitch roofs, original slab-on-grade foundations. When we rebuild after water, fire, or storm damage, we plan for what’s actually in the walls and under the floors. That means coordinating asbestos testing and abatement before we touch a floor tile or popcorn ceiling, checking aluminum branch wiring behind damaged drywall, and scoping galvanized supply line replacement where corrosion has set in. No surprises mid-job. The scope is written before work starts, and Wade signs it alongside you.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
In Citrus Heights’s 95610 and 95621 neighborhoods, the bottom layer of flooring in older homes is often original 1960s asphalt tile testing positive for asbestos. We don’t rip it out and hope for the best. We test first, then work with licensed abatement crews, then install your new flooring. Drywall work includes matching existing textures, which matters in homes where walls have been patched over a half-dozen times since the Eisenhower administration. No homeowner wants a repaint that looks like a patch job.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a slab leak soaks a Citrus Heights ranch home, the furniture, clothes, and keepsakes need somewhere clean and dry to wait. We handle full pack-out and contents restoration, photo-documenting everything before it moves so your insurance claim is airtight. For homeowners in the Sunrise corridor who’ve lived in the same house for 40 years, that photo log is your memory. You’re not just salvaging a couch. You’re salvaging the blanket your mother knit. Wade’s crew treats it that way.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After the Sacramento Valley’s wildfire smoke season, every soft surface in a Citrus Heights home holds particulate. Carpet, drapes, sofa cushions. We clean them with professional-grade equipment, not a rental machine from the grocery store. If smoke damage is extensive, we’ll tell you honestly whether cleaning is enough or whether replacement makes more financial sense. That’s the straight answer you want from a neighbor, not an upcharge you get from a franchise.

Trusted Brands We Service in Citrus Heights
Our Citrus Heights jobs run on equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, the names you’ll see on the sides of trucks that actually fix water damage rather than just circulate damp air. We keep replacement parts and drying systems calibrated for the compressed wet seasons this valley delivers. When an atmospheric river parks over the Sacramento Valley and dumps three inches on Citrus Heights in 48 hours, the last thing you want is a crew waiting on a part to ship from Texas. We stock what these 1960s and 1970s homes need, and when it’s not on the truck, Wade knows which supplier in Rancho Cordova has it on the shelf.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Citrus Heights Homes
- Asbestos discovery mid-demolition: A homeowner with water-damaged flooring in a 1965 tract home off Old Auburn Road calls us after another contractor already tore into the subfloor. Original asbestos tile gets exposed, a stop-work order follows, and now the job costs double and takes three times as long. We test before we touch.
- Moisture trapped behind original low-pitch roof carports: Slab-on-grade ranch homes with post-and-beam carport additions are notorious for channeling water toward the house. If a crew dries the interior but ignores the carport, mold reactivates in wall cavities three weeks later. Our daily moisture log catches this.
- Aluminum branch wiring hidden behind damaged drywall: When a kitchen fire scorches drywall in a 1972 house near San Juan Avenue, the damaged wall gets replaced. The aluminum wiring behind it doesn’t. Months later, a connection fails and you’re calling an electrician at midnight. We inspect while the wall is open, because that’s the only time it’s cheap to fix.
- Wildfire smoke saturation without direct fire exposure: Homes in 95611 and 95621 that never saw flames still get saturated when Sierra Nevada foothill fires blanket Citrus Heights for weeks. HVAC systems pull smoke particulate into every room. Carpet holds it. Upholstery holds it. We clean and deodorize thoroughly, and we’ll tell you when replacement honestly makes more sense.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Citrus Heights
Because the vast majority of homes in 95610, 95611, and 95621 were built between 1955 and 1980, and the original asphalt floor tiles, popcorn ceiling texture, and insulation used in that era routinely contains asbestos. Before any drywall demolition or flooring removal, we test. It costs less than $500 in most cases, and it prevents a stop-work order and abatement bill down the line. If you’re in a 1960s tract home near Sunrise Boulevard, assume the bottom flooring layer will test positive. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll walk you through what’s realistic before you open a single wall.
Yes, and we do it on nearly every slab-leak job in Citrus Heights. While Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment runs inside, we pack out salvageable contents, photo-document everything for your adjuster, and either clean items on-site or store them in a controlled environment until rebuild is finished. The 90-Day Done Right Promise covers the restoration work, and we coordinate directly with your insurance company so you’re not the one relaying information. Call (855) 915-0646 for a free assessment.
After drywall work, flooring installation, and painting, a full post-construction cleanup means removing fine dust from every surface, cleaning HVAC vents and registers, wiping down cabinetry and trim, and leaving the house move-in ready. For older homes, we also check for residue from any asbestos abatement or demo work that may have been done earlier in the project. Expect $500 to $1,700 for a thorough job, and we’ll give you a written number before we start. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade can stop by to look it over.
Wade deals with the adjuster directly, so you’re never stuck summarizing our findings to an insurance rep. We photo-document every hazard we uncover, from asbestos tile to aluminum branch wiring to galvanized supply line corrosion, and we provide the daily moisture logs that substantiate drying completion. This written record ensures your claim reflects the actual scope of work, not a generic estimate. We’ve done this for 29 years, and we’ve never had a Citrus Heights homeowner regret having the documentation. Call (855) 915-0646 and bring us your adjuster’s number.
Yes. When Sierra Nevada foothill fires smoke out Citrus Heights for weeks in late summer and fall, every soft surface holds particulate, even in homes that never faced direct flame. We clean carpet, drapes, and upholstery to remove odor and residue, and if the damage is beyond cleaning, we’ll tell you straight and help you file that replacement with your insurer. Post-wildfire cleaning for a 3-bedroom Citrus Heights home typically runs $350 to $900. Call (855) 915-0646 to get on the schedule before the next smoke event hits.
