Wade Ferris owns this company, answers his own phone, and has been rebuilding homes across the Tomball area since 2007.

Why Wade’s Restoration of Houston Is Tomball’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Tomball homeowners have a particular reason to be skeptical of restoration outfits. After Harvey, this whole corridor got flooded with out-of-state crews who quoted one number on the phone, then “discovered” a second number once the drywall was open. People here still talk about it. Wade’s Restoration took the opposite approach from day one: the owner’s name is on the truck, his address is published, and he’s going to run into you at the H-E-B on Main Street or the farmers market downtown. That’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is. Wade’s crew has rebuilt homes in Creekside Park, Lakewood Grove, and the older grid-street neighborhoods near the historic townsite, and we know what’s behind those walls because we’ve opened enough of them.
We answer the phone live, 24/7. You won’t get a voicemail tree. You’ll get Wade or someone on his crew who can have a truck headed toward Tomball within the hour. On reconstruction work, we don’t do same-day promises, because that’s not how a rebuild works. What we do promise is a written scope before work starts, photo documentation at every stage, and direct communication with your insurance adjuster so you’re not stuck relaying information between two sides.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Tomball
Reconstruction in Tomball spans everything from a single water-damaged wall to a full gut-and-rebuild after a Cypress Creek tributary backup. Our Reconstruction & Cleanup crew handles the full sequence, and we’re honest about what needs replacing versus what can be saved. Here are the services Tomball homeowners call us for most.
Full-Service Reconstruction
When the damage runs deep, we take the room down to studs or slab, then rebuild it right. In Tomball’s newer subdivisions, that often means replacing builder-grade drywall that wicked moisture into the stud bays long before anyone noticed. We coordinate the whole sequence: demo, structural repairs, insulation, drywall, texture, paint, trim, and flooring. No subs you’ve never met; Wade’s crew does the work.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Slab leaks and seasonal clay movement are the usual culprits in Tomball, and they show up as hairline cracks at wall-floor joints or swollen baseboards in 2000s tract homes. We cut out the bad sections, dry the framing properly with Injectidry panels when needed, and install new drywall that actually matches your existing texture. On flooring, we handle vinyl plank, carpet, and tile replacement after water or fire damage, and we’ll tell you plainly if the subfloor is salvageable or shot.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
A big rebuild usually means your furniture and belongings need to move out before the work starts. We pack, inventory, and store contents with photo documentation, then clean and return everything when the rebuild’s done. For Tomball families still dealing with Harvey-era storage bins in the garage, this is often the first time someone’s actually told them what’s ruined and what’s fine.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After a house fire or smoke event, soft surfaces hold odor long after the walls are scrubbed. We clean and deodorize carpet and upholstery on site when it can be saved, and we’re straight with you when it can’t. In a humid climate like Tomball’s, a carpet that got wet for more than 48 hours is almost always a replace, not a clean.

Trusted Brands We Service in Tomball
We work with the equipment and standards that hold up in Tomball’s humidity. That means Injectidry drying panels for hidden wall cavities, IICRC protocols for every water and mold job, and RIA-affiliated practices that your adjuster will recognize. If a homeowner already has a restoration plan from another company, we’re glad to give a free second opinion on the written estimate. And if that estimate came in over $200, we can usually beat it with the standing $40 off any repair offer.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Tomball Homes
- Fast-build stucco failures in 2000s tract developments. Thin stucco over OSB absorbs driven rain, and since Tomball gets 50-plus inches a year, those walls stay wet longer than they should. By the time a stain shows on interior drywall, the sheathing behind it is often already compromised.
- Slab cracks from Houston clay. Expansive black clay swells after a wet spring and shrinks in a dry summer. The wall-floor joints in slab-on-grade homes move with it, and a repair that only muds over the crack fails within a season if the pathway underneath isn’t sealed.
- Incomplete Harvey-era remediations. A lot of homes got remediated fast in 2017 and 2018. We routinely open walls during reconstruction and find mold colonization behind baseboards or under stairs that never got dried properly, because the original crew didn’t verify with moisture meters.
- Hidden moisture behind vinyl wallpaper. Vinyl acts like a vapor barrier, trapping moisture against drywall in the older 1970s and 1980s homes near the townsite. If you’ve had a leak and the wallpaper never got removed, there’s a good chance the drywall behind it is still wet or already colonized.
Pricing for Reconstruction & Cleanup in Tomball, TX
You should know what reconstruction actually costs in Tomball before you sign anything. A small drywall repair after an isolated slab leak typically runs $600 to $1,800, depending on how far the water wicked up the wall. Replacing builder-grade drywall and insulation in a single water-damaged room runs $2,200 to $4,800. A full gut-and-rebuild of a water-damaged great room with trim, paint, and flooring starts around $8,000 and climbs with square footage and finish level. Post-construction cleanup runs $350 to $900 for a full interior. These are honest ranges, and Wade will not quote one number on the phone and a different one at your door.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Tomball
Expect the quote to include exploratory demolition, because that smell is a symptom of moisture you can’t see yet. In Tomball homes remediated during the 2017 aftermath, we regularly find mold behind baseboards that were reattached without the wall cavity ever being verified dry. A proper reconstruction quote accounts for removing the baseboards, probing the stud bays with a moisture meter, cutting out any colonized drywall, and then rebuilding with properly dried framing. If a contractor quotes you drywall repair without mentioning that step, walk away. Call (888) 534-8116 for an exact scope.
You start from the inside, not the outside, because the water is already in the wall cavity. We cut back the interior drywall to expose the OSB sheathing, dry the cavity with Injectidry panels so the studs don’t rot, and then rebuild the interior with moisture-resistant drywall and a vapor-retardant primer. On the exterior, we’ll assess whether the stucco failure is localized or systemic. In the 77377 tract homes built fast between 2005 and 2010, we often find the water-resistive barrier behind the stucco was installed incompletely, which means the repair isn’t just cosmetic; it’s a weatherization issue.
If you only patch the drywall, yes, probably within two or three seasons. The clay under your slab is going to keep moving regardless of what we do. The difference is how the reconstruction covers that movement. We cut back the drywall, seal the wall-floor joint with a flexible sealant, and install the new drywall with a proper gap at the base so seasonal movement doesn’t transfer to the wall. That’s the detail national crews skip. Call (888) 534-8116 and Wade will walk you through how we’d reconstruct your specific wall.
You’re not alone, but yes, we work with out-of-pocket homeowners all the time in Tomball, especially in the 77377 corridor where homes built before Harvey’s flood map revision weren’t required to carry flood insurance. The key is a written scope that separates emergency work, structural reconstruction, and finishing work so you can phase them across a payment plan if you need to. Wade’s been doing that for years. We also honor a permanent 10% discount for veterans and seniors, which applies on top of the $40-off-over-$200 repair offer. Get the scope in writing first, then decide what to do next.
Drying needs to start within hours; reconstruction can wait until the structure is dry, and that’s typically three to five days after the water event in Tomball’s climate. But in Tomball’s humidity, where ambient indoor air rarely drops below 65% without active HVAC, any delay in drying means mold colonization can start within 48 hours. In practice, that means emergency extraction within the day, structural drying with commercial equipment for several days, and only then demolition and reconstruction. If you’ve had standing water or saturated drywall, call (888) 534-8116 before you turn off the fan and hope for the best.
