Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Upland
Reconstruction and cleanup in Upland after a storm, flood, or fire usually needs to move fast but get scoped correctly the first time. We handle full rebuilds, drywall and flooring repair, pack-outs, and the documentation your insurer actually needs to approve the claim without a fight. If you’re looking at water-stained drywall, a wind-damaged roof, or mud in the garage off San Antonio Avenue, call us at (855) 915-0646. Wade Ferris owns the company and answers the phone himself.
Upland sits right against the San Gabriel Mountains, which means the homes up in 91784 take wind and debris hits that flatland cities like Ontario never see. We know what that means in a crawlspace or behind a stucco wall, because we’ve been pulling wet drywall and re-laying buckled flooring across Upland neighborhoods for a long time. Our Reconstruction & Cleanup team works from the first tear-out to the final paint pass, so you’re not juggling three contractors and a confused adjuster.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Upland’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and never took on investors or a call center. His name is on the truck. He publishes his address and license number. When you call at midnight because a Santa Ana gust peeled back your roof deck, the phone doesn’t route to a national queue. Wade answers. That matters in Upland, where the difference between a contained repair and a full gut job can be measured in hours after a wind event or debris flow.
We’re proud of the work we’ve done on 91784, 91785, and 91786. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every water, fire, and mold restoration contract we sign. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right. Written down. One call brings him back. Ask anyone on your street who’s dealt with a restoration company that quoted one number on the phone and another at the door. That’s not how Wade operates. You get a written scope before work starts, and you get the same price at the end. To wade is what you do through a flooded basement at two in the morning, and it happens to be his name.
Wade’s crew is background-checked and uniformed, and they run professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, and B-Air. The certifications behind the work are IICRC, RIA, and IFA. No trip charge inside our own county. Free second opinion on any written estimate. Senior and Veteran customers always get 10% off.

Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Upland
Full-Service Reconstruction
After a fire burn scar above Cucamonga Peak turns a heavy rain into a debris flow, north Upland garages and crawlspaces end up packed with mud and rock. Full reconstruction here means more than hanging drywall. It means tearing out compacted subfloor debris, evaluating mud-line staining on exterior walls, and rebuilding with materials that hold up to the next storm. We pull permits properly in 91784, where the city’s building inspectors enforce wind-load documentation on door and window replacements. A standard door won’t pass. We handle that paperwork so your rebuild doesn’t stall.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
The 1950s and 1960s tract homes across south and central Upland in 91786 often still have their original cast-iron or galvanized supply lines. Upland’s hard water eats those pipes from the inside. When a pinhole leak finally lets go, the water wicks through plaster walls and the drywall starts crumbling two weeks after the visible stain appears. We cut out the damaged section, dry the framing with proper moisture readings, and patch with materials that match the original profile. Flooring runs the same way: Saltillo tile from a 1970s custom home in 91784 or oak strip from a 1962 ranch on Euclid. We match it or replace it cleanly.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When we have to gut a room, your furniture and belongings don’t sit in the garage collecting dust. We inventory everything, pack it out to a clean facility, and restore what’s restorable. For Upland homeowners whose contents got hit by post-fire debris or wind-driven rain, the inventory list matters to your insurer. We document it in the format adjusters expect, with photos and item-level detail. That’s the difference between a claim that pays out and one that stalls for weeks.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Mud from a Cucamonga Wash overflow doesn’t belong in your carpet padding. Water from a wind-damaged roof doesn’t belong in your sofa. We extract, clean, and decontaminate carpets and upholstery with professional-grade equipment, and we check the padding and subfloor underneath. What looks like a surface stain can be hiding moisture that feeds mold inside a week. Upland’s mountain humidity after a storm doesn’t help. We treat the whole job, not just the visible spot.

Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Upland Homes
- Wind-driven roof damage north of Baseline. In 91784, Santa Ana wind events funnel through mountain gap corridors and tear Spanish tiles loose or snap vent covers. The roof deck gets exposed, and the next rain soaks the attic insulation and drywall below. We see this every windy season.
- Post-fire debris flow mud intrusion. After the Cucamonga Wilderness burns, the next heavy rain sends mud and rock down the alluvial fans straight into foothill garages and crawlspaces. Flatland neighbors in Ontario and Montclair get channel overflow. You get actual debris compaction in the subfloor. Different cleanup, different insurance documentation.
- Hard-water corrosion on 1950s plumbing. Upland’s water is notoriously hard, and the original cast-iron and galvanized lines in 91786 tract homes degrade faster than homeowners expect. One pinhole leak can soak a wall cavity for weeks before the drywall shows it.
- Unpermitted prior work. We regularly run into doors, windows, or even whole additions that were installed without wind-load documentation. When the city inspector flags it during a rebuild, you’re looking at a tear-out and refile. We pull permits correctly the first time.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Upland
Yes. Upland’s building inspectors in the 91784 foothill neighborhoods enforce wind-load documentation on door and window replacements. A standard door installed without the right paperwork will likely get flagged and torn out. We pull the permit, file the wind-rating documentation, and install a compliant unit the first time. Call (855) 915-0646 before you buy a door.
We remove the mud and rock, then check for subfloor debris compaction and mud-line staining on exterior walls. Mopping the floor isn’t enough; compacted debris holds moisture and reactivates mold the next time water enters. We extract, document, and dry properly. Insurance documentation for post-fire debris flows is different from standard storm loss, and we write it that way for your adjuster. Call (855) 915-0646 for an assessment.
Yes. On the first visit we tarp the exposed roof deck, assess the tile damage, and start drying the affected drywall with our Injectidry systems. Depending on severity, we can often replace the damaged tiles and the water-soaked drywall in the same week. We found water from a wind-blown section of Spanish tile had saturated the drywall around a sliding glass door within 48 hours, and we dried the framing without gutting the living room. Call (855) 915-0646 to get on the schedule.
Yes, and insurers writing policies on 91784 addresses now frequently require documentation distinguishing fire-related flood from standard storm loss from a broken pipe. The coverage and deductible rules are different. We document the cause of water intrusion, the source, and the path it took through your home in the format adjusters expect. That keeps your claim from getting misclassified. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll walk you through it.
Subfloor moisture and hidden wall-cavity water from a pin-hole leak in original cast-iron plumbing. Upland’s hard water corrodes those old lines from the inside, and when one fails, the water wicks through plaster walls before anyone sees a stain. Standard drying math doesn’t account for it. We take moisture readings every single day and hand you the full log at the end. Call (855) 915-0646 if you suspect hidden water.
