Fast, Reliable Storm & Disaster Restoration Across Granite Bay
Storm damage in Granite Bay hits different than it does down in the valley. Big custom homes on granite outcroppings, aging supply lines behind expensive finishes, and a fire season that leaves smoke inside multi-zone HVAC systems. When a tree comes through a roofline off Douglas Boulevard or an atmospheric river pushes water under a foundation on the clay side of 95746, you need a crew that knows what they’re walking into. Wade Ferris has been restoring homes since 2007, and he answers his own phone. Call (855) 915-0646 and you’ll get him, not a call center.
Why Wade’s Restoration of California Is Granite Bay’s Preferred Storm & Disaster Restoration Company
We work Granite Bay regularly, which means we know the houses. Gated communities off Sierra College Boulevard, custom lake-adjacent properties, the tract-custom builds from the 1990s boom. That matters when a storm tears open a vaulted ceiling and you’re looking at engineered hardwood, natural stone, and millwork that can’t just be swapped out with stock materials.
Wade Ferris owns this company. His name is on the truck, his phone number rings in his pocket, and he’s going to run into you at the Nugget or the hardware store. That’s the accountability that matters. Ask anyone on your street. People around Granite Bay know Wade’s crew shows up in uniform, background-checked, and ready to work. No answering service. No third-party dispatch. Wade heads out when you call, and he’s been doing it that way since 2007.
Every water, fire, and storm restoration job we take in Granite Bay is covered by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, Wade makes it right, in writing. That promise is stamped on your contract. Not many restoration companies will put that on paper.
And here’s something almost nobody in the trade does: Wade takes moisture readings every single day on water jobs and hands you the full log when we finish. You won’t wonder whether the subfloor actually dried out. You’ll have the numbers.
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration Services in Granite Bay
Our Storm & Disaster Restoration team handles the full range of what Granite Bay weather and wildfire cycles throw at your house. Here’s the work we do most often in 95746.
Storm Damage Cleanup
When a storm drops a limb through a skylight or peels back a section of roof, the first thing we do is stop the water and secure the opening. Then we start the real work: extracting water, pulling wet drywall, setting up professional-grade drying equipment. Granite Bay homes with vaulted great rooms and open floor plans move moisture further and faster than standard builds. We track it with daily readings, not guesswork.
Flood Damage Restoration
Granite Bay sits on a mix of granite outcroppings and expansive clay. That combination causes surface water to move unpredictably during heavy atmospheric river events. Water finds its way into foundations, crawl spaces, and subfloors. We extract, dry, and monitor with equipment from Dri-Eaz and Phoenix. We map the full extent of moisture before we close anything up.
Emergency Board-Up
A broken window or a storm-punctured wall leaves your home open to weather, animals, and people. We board up fast, properly, and with materials that don’t damage custom trim or exterior finishes. Granite Bay isn’t where you want a generic board-up crew slapping plywood over premium stucco or stone veneer. We take care with the surface and make sure the opening stays sealed until permanent repairs happen.
Roof Tarping
Granite Bay has a lot of complex rooflines. Dormers, hips, valleys, multiple pitches, architectural shingles, tile. A bad tarp job tears off more material and makes the eventual repair worse. We tarp tight, with attention to ridge lines and flashing, so the tarp stays put through wind and rain. If your roof is damaged and you’re waiting on an adjuster, call us. We can have it covered same day in most cases.

Trusted Brands We Service in Granite Bay
We don’t cut corners with equipment or process. Our crews are IICRC-certified and RIA-affiliated, and we use professional-grade gear from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, Injectidry, XPOWER, and B-Air. But the brand that matters most to Granite Bay homeowners is the one behind the work. Wade Ferris personally oversees storm restoration jobs in this area, and he deals with the insurance adjuster directly so you’re not stuck relaying information between your carrier and the crew. That direct line saves weeks on complex claims, especially when post-storm code issues come up.
Common Storm & Disaster Restoration Problems We See in Granite Bay Homes
- Smoke and soot hiding in multi-zone HVAC returns. Granite Bay’s large custom homes from the 1990s often have multi-zone systems with return plenums routed through unsealed chases. After a wildfire smoke event, soot gets pulled into those returns and coats the ductwork. General contractors miss this all the time. It resurfaces as a smell every time the AC cycles.
- Aging polybutylene supply lines failing behind custom finishes. Homes built during Granite Bay’s 1990s boom frequently used polybutylene or early CPVC supply lines. Those lines are now failing, and when one lets go behind a kitchen island or a bathroom wall, the water travels through custom millwork and engineered hardwood before anyone notices. Extraction teams that treat it as a single-room loss miss the full chase.
- Board-ups that ignore non-ignition-resistant vents and wood soffits. After fire or ember exposure, companies will tarp and board up without addressing attic bypasses and older vents. That fails Placer County’s post-2010 WUI inspection and triggers a second permit. Now you’re paying twice and waiting longer.
- Foundation water intrusion on clay soils. Granite Bay’s expansive clay swells and shrinks with seasonal moisture. During heavy winter rain, water collects against foundations and seeps into subfloor areas. If the drying isn’t documented with daily readings, concealed moisture rots the framing behind the drywall. You won’t know until the floor feels soft.
Pricing for Storm & Disaster Restoration in Granite Bay, CA
Storm damage restoration in Granite Bay runs higher than nearby valley cities, and there’s a reason. The houses are bigger, the finishes are premium, and the work often triggers code upgrades you don’t face in Roseville or Rocklin. Here’s what we typically see in this market:
- Emergency board-up: $450-$1,400 depending on openings and access.
- Roof tarping: $500-$2,500 for complex custom rooflines; simple single-plane tarps start lower.

- Storm debris removal: $400-$1,800 for standard residential jobs.
- Smoke and soot remediation (whole-house): $4,000-$18,000 depending on square footage, zones, and HVAC contamination.

FAQs - Storm & Disaster Restoration in Granite Bay
Granite Bay homes are larger on average, with multi-zone HVAC systems, vaulted ceilings, and premium interior finishes that cost more to clean, seal, or replace. A 4,200 sq ft custom home from the late 1990s has duct chases and attic bypasses that post-2010 homes in Roseville simply don’t have. Soot gets into places a smaller, newer build won’t. That means more equipment, more labor hours, and more surface area per square foot. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll give you an exact scope and number for your house.
Yes, in many cases. When post-fire or post-storm work uncovers non-ignition-resistant vents, attic bypasses, or wood-framed soffits on a pre-2010 home, Placer County will trigger WUI code-upgrade requirements as part of the repair permit. What starts as a straightforward roof repair can become a full envelope update. We handle that permitting process directly, and Wade coordinates with your adjuster so the added scope gets documented and included in your claim. Call (855) 915-0646 if you’ve been told your storm repair needs a code review.
Foundation water intrusion through the soil contact point. Granite Bay’s expansive clay shifts seasonally, and during heavy atmospheric river events, water presses against foundation walls and seeps into subfloor spaces. Most crews treat it as surface water and move on. We log moisture readings daily until the subfloor reaches a verified dry standard. That log is yours at the end of the job. For a second opinion on any water intrusion find, call (855) 915-0646.
Yes. We tarp Granite Bay rooflines regularly, including homes off Douglas Boulevard with dormers, hips, and multiple valleys. We use non-penetrating fastening methods where possible and anchor carefully without tearing through tile or shingle courses. A bad tarp job causes more damage than the original storm. We don’t do bad tarp jobs. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll get it covered right.
We start by containing each zone to prevent cross-contamination, then run HEPA air scrubbers from Dri-Eaz while we clean the supply and return ductwork. In multi-zone Granite Bay homes, the return plenum is often the source of recurring soot odor. We inspect the chase, seal any bypasses, and verify with post-cleaning air sampling. If the AC cycles and the smell is still there, the source wasn’t addressed. Call (855) 915-0646 and we’ll find it.
Granite Bay’s late-1990s custom homes sit in a strange spot on the map. On paper, many of them are outside the current State Responsibility Area fire-hazard zone. In reality, they were built before Placer County adopted modern WUI construction standards. That means post-smoke or post-fire restoration frequently uncovers attic bypasses, non-ignition-resistant vents, and wood-framed soffits that trigger mandatory code-upgrade work mid-project. A straightforward remediation job becomes a full envelope reconstruction. If the company you hired doesn’t know that going in, you’ll find out when the inspector shows up and the permit stalls. We know it. We build it into the scope from day one.
On a hilltop street off Douglas Boulevard, a North Complex smoke event forced our crew to open the vaulted great room of a 4,200 sq ft custom home built in 1998. We found the HVAC return plenum pulling soot through an unsealed chase above the three-car garage, with smoke residue coating the multi-zone ductwork and engineered hardwood below. Using Dri-Eaz HEPA 500s and Injectidry floor mats, we pulled the contamination out of the subfloor and resealed the bypass, then rebuilt the wood-framed soffit with ignition-resistant vents to meet current WUI code. That’s the kind of job that only gets done right if you look behind the obvious damage.
