Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Westlake Village
Reconstruction and cleanup in Westlake Village starts at roughly $1,400 for a small drywall patch-and-paint job and runs $8,000-$22,000 for a full garage rebuild after water or fire damage. Most Westlake Village projects land in the $3,500-$9,500 range. That’s the honest math, and Wade Ferris will walk you through every line before a single crew member steps inside. Call (855) 915-0646 and you’ll get Wade himself, not a call center.
We’ve worked the cul-de-sacs off Lindero Canyon Road, the ridge-top homes above Three Springs, and the lakefront properties along Lakeshore Drive. Westlake Village isn’t a drive-through for us. It’s where we know which homes carry 1970s popcorn ceilings that need asbestos testing before sanding, and which garages near the lake have door hardware that’s been quietly rusting for a decade. That local knowledge changes the order of operations, and it saves you money.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Westlake Village’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris founded this company in 2007 and he still answers his own phone. In Westlake Village, that matters. When a homeowner off Agoura Road calls at 6 a.m. because a water heater blew out a garage wall, the person who picks up is the same person who signs the contract and the same person who shows up to check the work. No account managers. No rotating project leads. You’ll see Wade’s name on the truck, and you’ll see him again at the farmers market.
Westlake Village customers tend to ask the same two questions before anything else: “Who exactly is coming into my house?” and “Will you be straight with me on the price?” Those questions come from experience, usually a bad one with a national outfit that quoted one number on the phone and a different one at the door. We answer both directly. Background-checked, uniformed technicians. A written scope before work starts. And a 90-Day Done Right Promise stamped on every reconstruction contract: if it’s not done right, Wade makes it right, in writing.
Ask anyone on your street. We’ve rebuilt garages, dried out lake-humidity drywall, and cleaned Woolsey Fire soot out of ductwork all over Westlake Village. The work holds up, and the paperwork is complete enough for your adjuster without you playing middleman.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Westlake Village
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a wall comes down in Westlake Village, we rebuild it correctly for this climate. That means corrosion-resistant fasteners near the lake, proper moisture barriers before drywall goes up, and a materials check on the existing structure before anything gets sealed. A full garage rebuild in the 91361 ZIP typically runs $9,000-$22,000 depending on square footage and what’s hiding behind the old drywall. We’ll tell you what we found before we cover it back up.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Lake humidity in Westlake Village means drywall work has to account for moisture that inland crews never think about. We take moisture readings on the framing before hanging new board, not after. A single-room drywall replacement off Triunfo Canyon Road runs $1,400-$3,200. Flooring repair, whether it’s water-swollen laminate or fire-damaged hardwood, runs $1,800-$5,000 for a typical Westlake Village living area.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When fire or water hits a Westlake Village home, the stuff inside matters as much as the walls. We pack out, inventory, clean, and store your belongings with photo documentation at every step. For Woolsey Fire smoke-damaged contents, that means soft-goods laundering, upholstery deodorization, and electronics evaluation. Pack-out and contents restoration for a typical 2,000-square-foot Westlake Village home runs $4,000-$9,000 depending on the load and damage level.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Lakefront and canyon homes in Westlake Village hold odors differently than inland houses. Carpet and upholstery cleaning after water intrusion or smoke infiltration runs $300-$700 for a standard room set, using professional-grade equipment from Injectidry and Dri-Eaz. For embedded soot from the 2018 fire or musty lake-air dampness, we use hot-water extraction and air scrubbing rather than a rental machine and a prayer.

Trusted Brands We Service in Westlake Village
We’re not brand-loyal to a fault, but we do use equipment we’d trust in our own homes. Dri-Eaz for drying, Injectidry for hardwood and wall-cavity drying, Phoenix for air movers and dehumidifiers, XPOWER and B-Air for air scrubbing and negative-air setups. For Westlake Village specifically, we keep corrosion-resistant fasteners, stainless steel track hardware, and nylon rollers stocked on the truck because so many lake-adjacent garages need them during reconstruction. IICRC-certified processes on every job, RIA-affiliated, and IFA-recognized. That’s the industry standard, and it’s what your insurance company expects to see in the line items.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Westlake Village Homes
- Garage-door hardware corroded by lake air: Homes within a few blocks of Westlake Lake deal with constant humidity. Springs rust, bottom roller brackets seize, and opener chains flake. Contractors who treat Westlake Village like the drier San Fernando Valley skip the corrosion inspection, rebuild the wall, and trap failing hardware behind fresh drywall. We check first.
- Woolsey Fire soot still in HVAC ductwork: The 2018 fire forced evacuations across Westlake Village, and a lot of homes never had their ducts professionally cleaned afterward. The soot sits in there, redistributing char odor every time the system cycles. Reconstruction crews open walls and the smell persists, and the homeowner blames the new drywall when it’s the old ductwork.
- Popcorn ceilings with potential asbestos content: The master-planned rollout from the late 1960s through the 1980s means a huge share of Westlake Village homes still have acoustic popcorn ceilings. Sand them without testing first and you risk kicking asbestos dust into a room that’s already open for water-damage repair. That’s a stop-work order and a costly abatement, all avoidable with a $150 test.
- Polybutylene plumbing behind the drywall: 40-to-55-year-old Westlake Village homes sometimes have polybutylene supply lines that were common in the late ’70s and early ’80s. If we’re opening walls anyway, we flag it. Replacing a section before closing beats a future leak behind a freshly finished wall.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Westlake Village
If your Westlake Village home sits within half a mile of the lake, there’s a good chance the springs are rusted and the roller brackets are seized, and once we close the wall, replacing them gets a lot more expensive. We inspect the hardware before we hang drywall. Call (855) 915-0646 and Wade will take a look himself at no charge.
In most cases, the odor is embedded soot from the 2018 Woolsey Fire sitting in your HVAC ductwork. The system has been redistributing char particles through the house every time it runs, and no amount of new drywall will fix that. We clean the ducts and the air handler, then run an air scrubber before any reconstruction finishes. The smell doesn’t come back after that.
If the ceiling is original to a Westlake Village home built between 1968 and roughly 1985, the popcorn texture may contain asbestos, and sanding it without a test is a health risk and a code violation. We test before we open anything up. It’s a $150 step that prevents a $4,000-$9,000 abatement stop-work. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll walk you through the order of operations for your specific home.
Lakefront and lake-adjacent garages in Westlake Village run consistently more humid than inland parts of the Conejo Valley, which means drywall that’s tight in Thousand Oaks can stay damp for weeks here. We take moisture readings on the framing before hanging, use moisture-resistant board where it’s warranted, and document everything for your insurance file. It’s the difference between a repair that lasts and a musty wall you’ll be redoing in a year.
Yes. Westlake Village sits in a designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and your insurer knows that. We document every step with photos, write the scope to the line items your adjuster expects, and talk to them directly so you’re not relaying messages between two sides. For a free estimate on fire-damage reconstruction or cleanup, call (855) 915-0646.
