Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Ontario
When a kitchen fire guts drywall on Euclid Avenue or a supply line lets go inside a 1920s bungalow near Chaffey High, you need a crew that knows Ontario’s housing stock and its warehouses, not a generic national phone tree. Reconstruction in Ontario is a two-market job: aging Model Colony homes on the west side, and some of the largest logistics buildings in the country on the east side. We handle both. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade Ferris answers. Not a call center. Not a triage line. The man whose name is on the truck.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Ontario’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris has been running restoration crews since 2007, and Ontario work has always been a big part of that. The reason is simple: he shows up. Ontario homeowners who have been burned by a national outfit that quoted $4,000 over the phone and $11,000 at the door tend to call us second. They call us because Wade publishes his address, puts his name on the side of the truck, and answers his own phone at 2 a.m. when a pipe bursts off Vineyard Avenue.
Ask anyone on your street. Ontario is a city where people still talk to their neighbors, and word travels. Wade’s crew has rebuilt kitchens in the Model Colony neighborhoods, dried out warehouses off the I-10/I-15 interchange, and packed out contents from homes in the 91762 and 91764 ZIP codes. The reviews that matter aren’t on some app. They’re the ones your neighbor gives you over the fence while Wade’s team is rolling out Dri-Eaz equipment in your driveway.
Response time to Ontario is fast, because we run our crews from the Inland Empire office and we’re already working in this city every week. When a Santa Ana wind event tears roofing off and blows embers into attics, we’re not driving in from two counties over. We’re already here.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Ontario
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup team handles the full scope of putting an Ontario property back together after water, fire, mold, or storm damage. Here are the services Ontario homeowners and warehouse operators call us for most:
Full-Service Reconstruction
This is where we rebuild what the damage took apart. For a 1940s Model Colony home near Euclid Avenue, that might mean matching original lath-and-plaster profiles, rebuilding period door casings, and sourcing hardware that doesn’t look like it came from a big-box shelf. For an eastern Ontario warehouse, it means replacing water-damaged drywall, re-flashing roof curbs, and getting a 500,000 sq ft facility back online without disrupting the tenant’s receiving schedule. We’re not a handyman service that also does reconstruction. Reconstruction is what we do all day.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Water causes most of what we fix. A supply line in a 1920s Ontario home with original galvanized plumbing can fail with no warning, soaking hardwood floors and wicking up into plaster walls. We cut out the damaged sections with clean, squared openings, dry the cavity to a documented moisture reading, then patch and texture to match what’s around it. Wade takes moisture readings every single day and hands you the full log when the job is done. That’s not standard practice in this trade. It should be, and it’s how we work in Ontario.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a 1990s tilt-up warehouse off the I-10 takes on water through an aging single-ply membrane roof, the building isn’t the only thing that needs help. What’s inside it does too. We do full contents pack-outs for Ontario logistics tenants: palletized goods, electronics, temperature-sensitive inventory, all inventoried, photographed, cleaned, and stored under insurance claim protocols. For Ontario homeowners, the same process applies on a smaller scale. Furniture, family photos, clothing, tools. We catalog everything before it leaves the house, so you know what went where and what came back.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After a fire in an Ontario home, smoke smell lives in carpet fibers, drapes, and upholstered furniture long after the charred drywall is gone. We run professional-grade extraction and cleaning equipment from Phoenix and B-Air, then run air scrubbers to pull airborne particulates. For post-construction cleanup in Ontario warehouses and offices, we do the same: carpets, upholstered seating, breakroom furniture. Nothing goes back in the building smelling like smoke or drywall dust.

Trusted Brands We Service in Ontario
Our crews work with equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix, and our technicians are IICRC-certified and RIA-affiliated. In Ontario, that matters because the scale of the work swings so wildly. A residential dehumidifier isn’t big enough for a 400,000 sq ft warehouse. We run the largest Dri-Eaz desiccant units on commercial jobs, and residential-grade equipment on homes. We stock parts and consumables locally for Ontario customers, so we’re not waiting on a truck from another state to finish your drywall patch or carpet extraction.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Ontario Homes
- Galvanized supply lines corroding from hard Chino Basin groundwater. Western Ontario’s original Model Colony homes still have galvanized pipes, and the local water eats them from the inside. When they let go, the damage is often inside walls and under floors you can’t see.
- Clay-tile sewer laterals cracked by root intrusion and soil movement. The 1920s-1950s neighborhoods in 91762 and 91764 sit on older clay laterals. Tree roots find the joints, and Ontario’s expansive soils shift enough to crack them. A backup after that means raw sewage in the house, and that’s a full remediation and rebuild job.
- Santa Ana wind damage to roofs and attic spaces. When Santa Anas accelerate off the San Gabriel foothills, they strip shingles and blow embers into attic vents. Ontario homes and warehouses see smoke and ash contamination calls spike after every major event.
- Aging single-ply membrane roofs on eastern Ontario warehouses. Those 1990s tilt-up buildings were built with TPO and EPDM roofing now past its 20-25-year service window. One winter storm can push water into a facility full of electronics or pharmaceuticals, and a minor residential-style roof leak turns into a commercial contents-drying job.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Ontario
How do you handle contents restoration inside a 500,000 sq ft Ontario logistics warehouse after a roof membrane failure?
We treat it like the commercial-scale job it is. We deploy the largest Dri-Eaz desiccant units we have, establish drying zones by cubic footage, and run round-the-clock moisture monitoring. Contents are inventoried, photographed, packed out, cleaned, and stored under insurance claim protocols. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will explain the process on site.
Can you restore original 1920s-1950s homes in Ontario’s Model Colony without disturbing period features?
Yes, and we do it often. Our reconstruction crew has worked on enough Model Colony homes to know how to match original lath-and-plaster profiles, preserve period millwork, and source hardware that fits the era. We don’t rip out character and replace it with builder-grade. We rebuild to the original.
What’s different about drying out a tilt-up warehouse in Ontario compared to Rancho Cucamonga or Chino?
Scale and roof type. Ontario’s eastern logistics corridor has an enormous concentration of 500,000+ sq ft facilities, most built in the 1990s with single-ply TPO or EPDM membrane roofs now failing. Rancho Cucamonga and Chino don’t have that density. A residential-grade dehumidifier in an Ontario warehouse leaves inventory damp for weeks. We run commercial desiccant units sized for cubic footage, not just square footage.
After a Santa Ana wind event blows embers into an Ontario attic, what does your reconstruction process look like?
First, we get eyes in the attic to check for smoldering material and assess smoke and ash contamination. Then we cut out charred framing members, replace insulation, seal the smoke smell out of the rest of the house with air scrubbers, and rebuild the roof or vent penetrations that let the embers in. It’s not a two-day job, but it’s not a six-week one either. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will look at it the day you make the call.
Do you handle post-construction cleanup for Ontario warehouses that have just undergone a large commercial restoration?
We do. After our own reconstruction crews finish, or after another contractor’s work is done, we come in and clean what’s left: drywall dust, sawdust, smudges on glass and door hardware, carpet extraction, floor scrubbing. We leave the building ready for occupancy, not ready for another round of complaining from the tenant about dust on the product.
