Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Clovis
Reconstruction after water, fire, or mold damage in Clovis usually means tearing out saturated drywall, treating hidden framing, and rebuilding to match your existing floor plan. Most jobs in the 93611 and 93612 corridors take 3 to 7 days for the structural phase, with finish work scheduled after drying targets are hit. We know the area, we know the houses, and we answer the phone when you call: (855) 915-0646.
Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 because he got tired of hearing neighbors describe crews that showed up late, quoted one price on the phone and another at the door, and never handed over a moisture log. That does not fly in Clovis, where people talk to each other at the hardware store and the farmers market. Every Reconstruction & Cleanup job we do in Clovis starts with a written scope and ends with a dry, tested, finished space – not a promise.
Here’s what matters for Clovis specifically: the houses built in the 2000s growth boom, especially in 93619, have stucco exteriors over OSB sheathing. When winter storm water gets behind a hairline crack, that OSB wicks moisture for weeks before you see so much as a water spot on the inside drywall. By the time you call, the damage is already structural. Our Reconstruction & Cleanup team knows to look behind the cosmetic surface on these homes, because we have torn into enough of them to know what is hiding back there. That local knowledge is why homeowners across Clovis call us first.

Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Clovis’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Ask anyone on your street. The person who answers the phone at Wade’s Restoration is the same person whose name is on the truck. Wade Ferris has run this company since 2007, and he still picks up his own calls at midnight. That is not a marketing line – it is how he works. When you call about a water-damaged wall in Clovis, you are talking to the owner, not a dispatcher in another state.
We carry IICRC and RIA credentials, and our crews run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and XPOWER air movers that move enough air to hit drying targets in Clovis’s hundred-degree summer heat. But the real difference is what happens after the drywall is hung. Wade hands every Clovis homeowner the full moisture log from day one through final inspection. Very few contractors in the Valley do that. It is the kind of documentation your insurance adjuster wants to see, and it is the reason adjusters in Fresno County tend to work smoothly with us.
Our crew works Clovis neighborhoods every week: the 1970s-era ranch homes off Shaw and Barstow in 93612, the tight tract-home streets around Sierra Vista Mall in 93611, and the post-2000 master-planned communities east of Clovis Avenue in 93619. We know which blocks have alley-loaded garages, which subdivisions have the fastest-draining soil, and which floor plans trap smoke in the upstairs hall. That is not something a national franchise learns from a training manual.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Clovis
Full-Service Reconstruction
When water or fire damage has gone past the surface, reconstruction means taking walls down to the studs, treating what is still sound, and rebuilding so the repair looks like the original build. In Clovis we do a lot of this in 93619 homes where OSB sheathing has been wicking for weeks. We remove the saturated drywall, treat the framing and sheathing with antimicrobials, install new insulation, and rehang and finish the walls. The 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every reconstruction job, in writing.

Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
Smoke smell does not just live in the drywall – it lives in your couch, your books, and every piece of fabric in the house. When a fire or heavy smoke event hits a Clovis home, we document everything, pack out what can be cleaned, and handle contents restoration off-site when that makes sense. For homeowners in 93619 with open floor plans, contents are often contaminated throughout the structure even when the fire was contained to one room. We itemize everything for your insurance claim and keep photos for the adjuster.

Insurance Claim Documentation
This is where Wade’s Restoration does something most contractors will not. Wade deals with your adjuster directly. He photographs every step, logs moisture readings daily, and hands you a written scope of work before anything gets torn out. If your Clovis home has hidden OSB damage behind stucco, the documentation matters – insurance adjusters will not approve structural repair without photographic evidence and moisture data. We build that file for you as we work. It costs you nothing extra, and it is the difference between a denied claim and a covered one.

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After water extraction or smoke remediation, carpets and upholstery need professional-grade cleaning or they will keep off-gassing odor for months. We use truck-mounted extraction equipment rated for the high-heat, low-humidity conditions in the San Joaquin Valley, which dries differently than coastal carpet work. In Clovis, where central air recirculates indoor air constantly, a carpet that was not properly cleaned after a water event can keep reintroducing musty air into the whole house.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
Our crews run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers, XPOWER air movers, and Phoenix drying systems – the same equipment used by IICRC-certified restoration companies across the country. Because we work Clovis neighborhoods every week, we keep spare parts and replacement filters stocked locally. That means when a dehumidifier goes down on a 105-degree day in 93619, we are not waiting on a shipment from Dallas. We swap it out and keep the drying schedule moving. Your home does not wait, and neither do we.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Hidden OSB sheathing saturation. Hairline stucco cracks on 2000s-era homes in 93619 let winter storm water soak the OSB behind the exterior. It wicks for weeks before interior drywall shows any sign, and by then the framing is compromised. Cosmetic patching over this just traps moisture and guarantees recurring mold.
- Centralized HVAC spreading contamination. Open-floor-plan homes built after 2000 share ductwork across the entire structure. One smoke event in the kitchen means soot and odor spread to every bedroom through the same vents. If the ductwork is not decontaminated during reconstruction, cleaned rooms get re-contaminated within days.
- Tight access delaying equipment staging. The dense tract-home streets in 93611 and 93612, especially with alley-loaded garages, make it hard to stage drying equipment. Crews that are not familiar with these layouts lose hours, and in valley heat, 24 to 36 hours is all mold needs to colonize a wet wall cavity.
- Neglected drainage from zero-summer-rain habits. Clovis gets almost no rain from June through September, so gutters and perimeter grading go unchecked for months. When atmospheric river storms arrive in winter, poorly maintained drainage channels water directly against foundations and into stucco cracks. We see this pattern every wet season.
Pricing for Reconstruction & Cleanup in Clovis, CA
Full-service reconstruction in Clovis typically runs $2,800 to $12,000, depending on how many walls are involved, whether insulation needs replacing, and whether HVAC decontamination is required. Drywall repair and finish work on a single water-damaged wall usually lands between $900 and $2,400. Contents pack-out and cleaning adds $1,500 to $6,000 depending on volume. If hidden OSB sheathing damage is discovered, factor an additional $1,200 to $4,000 for structural repair, which your insurance may cover with proper documentation. Carpet and upholstery cleaning runs $250 to $900 per room set. These are honest ranges for our market – not lowball phone quotes that change at the door. Call (855) 915-0646 for a written estimate. It is free, and if you already have a written estimate from another contractor, bring it in for a free second opinion.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Clovis
Yes, with infrared thermal imaging and moisture meters we can detect saturated OSB sheathing behind stucco weeks before you would see a water stain on interior drywall. We run these scans on every 2000s-era Clovis home where a winter storm has followed a period of neglected gutter maintenance. Early detection means a $900 drywall repair instead of a $6,000 structural rebuild. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will bring the meters out himself.
Almost certainly yes. Centralized HVAC systems in post-2000 open-floor-plan homes distribute soot through every vent in the house, even rooms far from the fire source. Skipping duct decontamination means cleaned rooms get re-contaminated within days. We include HVAC assessment in every smoke reconstruction job in Clovis. If the ducts are contaminated, we document it for your adjuster and clean it before reconstruction finishes.
It compresses it dramatically. In 100°F heat, a wet Clovis attic or crawl space reaches mold-colonizing humidity within 24 to 36 hours. That is a narrower window than most of California. We stage Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and XPOWER air movers within hours of your call, and Wade checks moisture readings every single day until drying targets are met. The window is short, so we do not waste it.
Often yes, but only if the damage is documented before cosmetic repairs hide it. Wade’s Restoration photographs every layer as we open the wall, logs moisture data daily, and communicates directly with your adjuster. Hidden structural damage behind stucco is exactly the kind of claim that gets denied without photo and moisture evidence. Our documentation is the reason adjusters in Fresno County approve these claims when we handle the reconstruction.
Yes. We stage equipment through alley access and side gates in the tight tract-home neighborhoods of 93611 and 93612 all the time. Our crews know which blocks require pre-staging before arrival and which streets have enough clearance for a box truck. The equipment still hits drying targets within the same 24 to 36 hour window; we just plan the access before we show up. Call (855) 915-0646 and tell us your street – we probably already know it.
One more thing worth saying plainly. In a 2000s-era 93619 subdivision off DeWolf Avenue, our crew responded to a winter storm water intrusion behind a hairline stucco crack. We removed saturated drywall, treated the OSB sheathing with antimicrobials after discovering it had been wicking for weeks, and rebuilt the wall using high-capacity XPOWER air movers and Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers to hit drying targets within the 100°F summer window before mold could colonize. That job is why we open walls with moisture meters before we hang new drywall. It is why we hand over the full moisture log. And it is why we tell Clovis homeowners: if your stucco has a crack and it rained last winter, call before the interior paint starts bubbling. (855) 915-0646.
