Reconstruction & Cleanup in San Pedro - Written Price, No Second Contractor to Find

Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across San Pedro

Reconstruction and cleanup in San Pedro works differently than it does inland, and if you’ve lived here long, you already know why. The marine layer sits over the bluff for half the year, salt hangs in the air, and older homes near the harbor face wind and moisture that post-1980 construction never had to handle. When a storm or a water leak hits a 1930s Craftsman on a hillside above the western bluff, you don’t have days to wait for someone to show up. You call Wade’s Restoration of California at (855) 915-0646, and Wade Ferris answers his own phone. He’s been doing this since 2007, and he’ll be the one walking your San Pedro property, not a crew you’ve never met.

Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is San Pedro’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company

Wade Ferris started this company in 2007 and put his name on the truck. His address and license number are published, and he answers calls himself at midnight, on holidays, and on Saturday mornings when you’re standing in a wet living room trying to figure out what to do next.

People in San Pedro know Wade because Wade shows up.

Our reputation in San Pedro comes from doing what we say we’ll do. We hand homeowners a written scope before any work begins, and every water, fire, and mold job is backed by a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right.

It’s the kind of transparency people in San Pedro tell their neighbors about.

Response time matters when the marine layer is keeping everything wet. Wade heads out to San Pedro the same day you call, and depending on where you are, he can often be on-site within the hour. Calls are answered by a live person, 24/7. No voicemail, no answering service, no runaround.

Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in San Pedro

Full-Service Reconstruction

When a San Pedro home has been through a storm, a fire, or a long-running leak, reconstruction is the part that puts walls back up, re-frames rotted sections, and makes the house feel like home again. We’ve rebuilt 1920s Craftsman bungalows on hillside lots above the western bluff, original lath-and-plaster walls and all. We know how those old pier-and-beam foundations behave when they’ve been wet, and we know how to rebuild so the next winter swell doesn’t undo the work.

Drywall & Flooring Repair

Older San Pedro homes frequently hide water damage behind original stucco and lath-and-plaster walls. By the time you see a stain, the framing behind it may already be compromised. We cut out the damaged material, dry the cavity properly using Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Injectidry drying mats, then replace drywall, plaster, and flooring so the repair matches the age and character of the house. If your home sits on the western bluff, we’ll also talk to you about upgrading to impact-rated windows before the next storm front arrives.

Contents Restoration & Pack-Out

When a San Pedro home floods from a burst pipe or storm surge, the furniture, rugs, clothing, and keepsakes need as much attention as the framing. We pack out, clean, deodorize, and store your contents while reconstruction is underway. For older homeowners especially, we catalog everything carefully and keep you informed at every step. You’ll know what’s been cleaned, what’s damaged beyond repair, and what it’ll cost to restore before we spend a dime of your money.

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning

After reconstruction or a water loss, carpets and upholstered furniture can hold odors and moisture long after the walls are dry. We clean and sanitize carpets, rugs, and upholstery using professional-grade equipment from XPOWER and B-Air. If your carpet sat wet for more than a day in San Pedro’s humid marine air, we’ll tell you honestly whether it can be saved or whether replacement is the smarter long-term choice.

Trusted Brands We Service in San Pedro

We stock parts and materials that common San Pedro homes actually need, and we service all major brands of doors, windows, drywall, and flooring. For drying equipment, Wade’s crew runs Dri-Eaz and Phoenix machines, chosen specifically for slow-drying coastal environments like San Pedro where the marine layer holds moisture longer. We’re IICRC-certified, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized, and we bring that training to every job. If we don’t have the part for your specific door or window assembly in the truck, we can usually get it the same day through local San Pedro suppliers, keeping turnaround fast.

Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in San Pedro Homes

• Wind-driven salt water penetration on the western bluff. Homes above the western bluff face direct sea-spray impact during winter storm swells off San Pedro Bay. Original single-pane windows let that salt water in, and it saturates adjoining drywall within a single storm season if not addressed.
• Hidden mold behind baseboards from slow-drying plaster walls. San Pedro’s persistent marine layer keeps relative humidity elevated longer than inland neighborhoods. Plaster walls dry slowly, and mold can spread behind baseboards before anyone sees it, which is why we take daily moisture readings and hand you the log.
• Rotted framing hidden behind water-damaged stucco. Reusing stucco cladding without checking the framing behind it is a recipe for collapse during the next winter swell. We open walls carefully, check every stud, and replace what’s rotted before closing things back up.
• Tsunami-zone documentation delays. Homes in the low-lying blocks near the Main Channel and Fish Harbor fall inside California’s designated tsunami inundation zone. Insurance and permitting require different documentation for structural repairs there than they do even a mile inland, and if that paperwork isn’t handled properly, the claim stalls.
