Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Santa Rosa
Reconstruction and cleanup in Santa Rosa means dealing with a housing stock unlike almost anywhere else in California. We work on post-Tubbs rebuilds in Coffey Park with Chapter 7A fire-resistant siding one day, then a 1950s ranch with original wood lathe and galvanized piping near Railroad Square the next. That split requires a crew that knows both worlds, and it’s exactly what Reconstruction & Cleanup work demands here. If your home needs structural repair, smoke-residue remediation, or full post-loss rebuilding, call Wade’s Restoration of California at (855) 915-0646. We answer live, 24 hours a day.

- Full-service reconstruction for fire, water, and smoke damage in Santa Rosa

Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Santa Rosa’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 with his name on the truck and his cell number printed on every contract. That’s not marketing. That’s how he’s operated in Sonoma County for nearly two decades. When a Santa Rosa homeowner calls about Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration after a kitchen fire or a water-loss rebuild, the person who picks up the phone is the same person who will walk your property and sign the scope. Ask anyone on your street who’s dealt with the alternative: a national chain that quotes one number over the phone and a different one at your front door.
Our Santa Rosa customers regularly tell us the same thing: the direct line to Wade is why they called, and the written 90-Day Done Right Promise is why they stayed. Every water, fire, and mold reconstruction job gets that promise in writing. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. No runaround, no third-party call center.
We’ve rebuilt homes in Fountaingrove, Coffey Park, Roseland, and the older neighborhoods around Railroad Square. That local familiarity matters when you’re matching a 1948 interior wall profile or sourcing the right ignition-resistant vent assembly for a 2021 rebuild. Crews coordinate from our San Francisco Bay Area office and serve Santa Rosa daily. No trip charge inside the county, and a free second opinion on any written estimate you bring us.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Santa Rosa
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a Santa Rosa home needs Storm & Disaster Restoration after fire, water, or storm damage, we handle the entire rebuild: framing, drywall, insulation, trim, paint, flooring, and finish work. This is scoped, scheduled, and priced in writing before any materials are ordered. On post-Tubbs rebuilds, we match Chapter 7A materials so the fire-resistance continuity of the original construction isn’t broken. On older homes near Railroad Square, we’re careful around legacy asbestos and original plaster profiles. A typical full-room rebuild in Santa Rosa runs $8,000 to $28,000 depending on room size and material grade.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Water intrusion in a 95405 ranch or a 95407 newer build usually means cutting out saturated drywall, treating the framing, and replacing flooring. We carry the moisture meters and drying equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix to confirm the substrate is dry before new material goes in. That prevents the mold bloom that shows up six weeks after a cheaper patch job. Drywall replacement in Santa Rosa typically runs $1,200 to $4,800 per room, hardwood refinishing $3 to $6 per square foot, and full flooring replacement $6 to $14 per square foot installed.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
After a damage event, the contents of your home often need to be packed out, cleaned, stored, and returned. We do this in Santa Rosa and across Sonoma County, with an inventory system that photographs and logs every item. If your smoke-damaged Fountaingrove home needs its contents cleaned of embedded char odor while the structure is rebuilt, we handle both sides of that job. Pack-outs typically run $2,500 to $9,000 depending on home size and contents volume, with cleaning and storage itemized separately.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Post-construction dust settles into carpet fibers and upholstery in ways a standard vacuum won’t touch. We run professional-grade extraction equipment and HEPA filtration to pull fine particulate, drywall dust, and smoke residue out of soft surfaces. For Santa Rosa homes that went through wildfire season with windows cracked, this deep cleaning often makes the difference between a house that smells clean and one that doesn’t. Carpet cleaning runs $150 to $450 per room, upholstery $75 to $200 per piece.

Trusted Brands We Service in Santa Rosa
Our equipment and training standards come from the industry’s recognized bodies. Wade’s crew carries IICRC and RIA credentials, and we’re affiliated with IFA. On the equipment side, you’ll see Dri-Eaz and Phoenix machines on nearly every Santa Rosa job we run: negative air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, air movers, and HEPA filtration systems. We don’t use rental-store gear. We own and maintain our equipment, which means it’s calibrated, serviced, and ready when a Fountaingrove homeowner calls at two in the morning. For Santa Rosa customers, we stock commonly needed materials locally so reconstruction doesn’t stall waiting on a parts shipment from out of state.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Santa Rosa Homes
- Smoke residue that won’t clear. Homes in Fountaingrove and along the 95404 corridor that survived the 2017 Tubbs Fire often absorbed weeks of off-gassing from adjacent burned lots. That fine particulate lodges in HVAC ductwork, attic batts, and wall cavities. Cosmetic cleaning won’t touch it. Our crew pulled ductwork and batts from a Fountaingrove hillside home, ran negative air with HEPA filtration, and replaced cavity insulation before air-quality testing finally cleared the char odor. Out-of-area contractors routinely fail that test on the first pass.
- Chapter 7A material mismatches. Rebuilding part of a post-Tubbs Coffey Park home with standard drywall and paint can break the fire-resistance continuity the original construction was designed around. If the technician doesn’t recognize ignition-resistant siding or ember-resistant vent assemblies, the repair can void the rebuild warranty. We’ve seen it happen.
- Legacy materials in older homes. The 1940s through 1960s ranches and Victorians near Railroad Square and in 95405 often contain asbestos in old flooring and drywall compound, galvanized piping, and original wood lathe behind plaster walls. Reconstruction in these homes requires material testing and careful abatement before demo starts. Skipping that step puts your family and our crew at risk.
- Rain following smoke season. Santa Rosa gets 30-plus inches of rain in a wet winter. When autumn Diablo winds push smoke into a home, then the rains come before the structure is resealed, moisture gets trapped in the same wall cavities that absorbed the smoke. Mold colonizes fast. The correct order is mitigation first, then reconstruction, and that sequence has to happen before the winter rains set in.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Santa Rosa
Yes, if your property still has ash deposits from the 2017 Tubbs Fire, DTSC hazardous ash cleanup protocols apply before reconstruction materials are brought in or walls are opened. Ash from burned structures contains heavy metals and toxic compounds that can contaminate new building materials and create an ongoing exposure risk. On acreage properties in the 95409 area where wildfire debris remained in service drives and workshops, we’ve seen fresh reconstruction material get contaminated by ash tracked in on boots and equipment. We follow California’s Consolidated Debris Removal Program requirements and DTSC protocols. Call (855) 915-0646 for an assessment.
Yes. We source and install Chapter 7A compliant materials, including ignition-resistant siding, ember-resistant vent assemblies, and Class A roofing components, and we verify that the repair maintains the fire-resistance continuity of the original construction. This is a common failure point for out-of-area contractors who treat a post-Tubbs rebuild like any other house. We have experience matching the specific materials used in Coffey Park rebuilds, and we document everything for your warranty file.
We reconstruct around existing oversized doors and heavy equipment by working in phases so the structure stays secure and usable while interior work proceeds. Long power runs from the main panel to the workshop are evaluated for code compliance and load before any finish work starts. For Santa Rosa acreage properties in 95409, we commonly coordinate with your electrician or bring in our own licensed sub to handle panel and run upgrades. Get a written scope before we start.
Mitigation first, then smoke and particulate cleanup, then structural drying, then reconstruction. The correct sequence is: stabilize the building envelope to stop active water intrusion, remove saturated lathe and plaster where needed, run HEPA air scrubbing to clear smoke particulate from the cavity, verify moisture readings are below threshold, and only then rebuild. If the smoke cleanup happens before the structural drying, you trap moisture and smoke residue inside the new wall. We follow that sequence on every Santa Rosa job and document each step with moisture logs.
Yes. We photo-document every phase of reconstruction, including the discovery of residual smoke, char, or ash that was not visible at the initial estimate. We provide written documentation and direct communication with your insurance adjuster so you’re not stuck relaying information between two sides. If your policy covers the newly identified damage, we handle the supplement paperwork. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will walk you through what documentation to request from the outset.
