Not next week. Wade Ferris and his crew have been opening up walls in Cloverleaf long enough to know what’s behind them.

Why Wade’s Restoration of Houston Is Cloverleaf’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Cloverleaf isn’t like Houston proper. There’s no city building department to check up on repair work, no inspector verifying that the drywall was actually dried or replaced correctly after the last flood. That means the quality of the work depends entirely on the person doing it. Wade Ferris has owned and operated his restoration company since 2007, and he publishes his name, his address, and his license number on every written scope. That’s not an accident. When someone does reconstruction in a place like Cloverleaf, their reputation follows them down every street off Woodforest Boulevard.
Our customers in Cloverleaf tend to be homeowners who have already been through it once with a national outfit. They tell us the same story: one price on the phone, a different number at the door, and a crew they never saw again. That doesn’t happen with us. Wade answers his own phone, 24 hours a day. You’ll see him at the job. And when the work is finished, you’ll have a documented moisture log, photo records for your adjuster, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, he makes it right.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Cloverleaf
Most Cloverleaf calls start with one visible problem and turn into something bigger once we open the wall. That’s the nature of the housing stock here. We walk in prepared for that.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Cloverleaf homes built in the 1950s through the 1970s often have original wood-fiber drywall that soaks up water like a sponge and crumbles when you try to patch it. We cut out the damaged sections, check the framing behind them for moisture, treat what’s still sound, and rebuild with mold-resistant board through our Mold Remediation - Cloverleaf process. Flooring is the same story: water sitting on a slab-on-grade foundation wicks up through vinyl and laminate within hours. We pull wet flooring, dry the slab with professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz and B-Air, and document every reading so your claim doesn’t get shorted.
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a flood, fire, or sewage backup does enough damage that a patch job won’t cut it, our Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration in Cloverleaf handles the full rebuild. Framing, insulation, drywall, trim, paint, flooring: one crew from start to finish. That matters in Cloverleaf because there’s no permit process to force a second set of eyes on the work. You get ours. Wade walks the job before we close up any wall, not after.
Insurance Claim Documentation
We photograph everything before, during, and after. We log moisture readings daily with equipment from Injectidry and hand you the log at the end. And when your adjuster has questions, Wade talks to them directly. You’re not the relay between two sides. That’s the single biggest reason Cloverleaf homeowners tell us they’d never go back to a company that just showed up, did the work, and disappeared.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
Flood water in Cloverleaf doesn’t just damage the structure. It gets into furniture, clothes, paperwork, and the boxes of photos sitting in the closet. We can pack out your salvageable belongings, clean and restore them off-site, and store them until your home is rebuilt. It keeps your things from getting further damaged while work is underway.

Trusted Brands We Service in Cloverleaf

When you call, you get the right tool for the job, not whatever was left over from the last one.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Cloverleaf Homes
- Harvey-era mold behind fresh paint. Cloverleaf has no city inspection process, so a lot of post-Harvey repair work was done without moisture verification. Homeowners painted over damaged drywall, and the mold kept growing behind it. We open the wall and find it every week.
- Layered flood damage from Allison and Harvey. Many Cloverleaf homes took water in 2001 and again in 2017. The first event was never fully dried, and the second one fed what was already there. One repair job becomes a mold investigation.
- Slab-on-grade and pier-and-beam foundations holding water. The flat clay soil in east Harris County drains slowly. Water sits against the foundation line, seeps in, and lingers in crawl spaces and behind baseboards. Drying takes longer here, and shortcuts show up as rot within a year.
- Hidden structural damage from unpermitted past repairs. Without a city permit system, previous flood repairs often skipped structural checks. We regularly find framing that was never properly dried or sistered after a prior flood, which changes the scope of what looked like a simple drywall patch.
Pricing for Reconstruction & Cleanup in Cloverleaf, TX
Drywall and flooring repair in Cloverleaf typically runs $1,800 to $4,500 depending on how much wall we have to open and what we find behind it. Full-service reconstruction after a flood usually lands between $9,000 and $38,000 for a typical 1950s-era Cloverleaf home, with the big swing coming from whether structural framing was affected and how much of the original materials have to be removed. Contents pack-out and cleaning runs $1,200 to $4,000 depending on volume. A simple post-construction cleanup after someone else’s remodel runs $400 to $900. Call (888) 534-8116 for a written estimate. We don’t charge a trip fee inside our own county, and if you already have a written estimate from someone else, we’ll take a second look free.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Cloverleaf
Look for soft or bulging drywall, bubbling paint, a musty smell that comes back after you clean, or faint brown staining along baseboards and ceiling corners. If your home flooded in Harvey and the drywall was painted over rather than replaced, the mold is probably still there. We open a small section of wall, read the moisture level in the framing, and know within minutes. Call (888) 534-8116 and we’ll schedule an inspection.
No. Cloverleaf is unincorporated Harris County, so there’s no city permit or inspection process for residential reconstruction. That makes it even more important to hire someone who documents their work and stands behind it, because no one from the government is checking. We provide photo documentation and a written scope on every job, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing.
Because the first flood was never fully dried. Cloverleaf sits low and flat, water lingers, and mold colonies form within 24 to 48 hours in the humid Gulf Coast air. If the drywall wasn’t removed and the framing wasn’t dried and treated after the last event, the mold was just waiting for more moisture. We cut it out, dry the structure to documented standards, and treat the framing so it doesn’t come back.
Within 24 hours, ideally. In Cloverleaf’s low-lying, humid climate, mold starts forming within a day or two. If you wait a week, you’re adding thousands of dollars in remediation costs. Call us as soon as the water recedes. Wade can have extraction running inside the hour, and then the drying starts, which is the part that actually prevents the mold.
It depends on whether you have a separate flood policy. Standard homeowner’s insurance does not cover rising flood water, but it typically covers sudden pipe bursts, fire, or a roof leak. We document everything, photograph before and after, and talk directly with your adjuster to make the strongest case your policy allows. Call (888) 534-8116 and we’ll help you sort out what’s covered before we start cutting.
Why Reconstruction in Cloverleaf Is a Mold Investigation, Not Just a Patch Job
Here’s what makes Cloverleaf different from almost anywhere else Wade works. The area is unincorporated Harris County. No city government. No municipal building department. No permit desk. When Hurricane Harvey flooded Cloverleaf in 2017, a lot of the repair work that followed was done by whoever would show up with a truck and a paint roller. Homeowners dried what they could, patched what they couldn’t, and painted over the rest. There was no inspector to verify the moisture content in the framing, no requirement to remove water-damaged drywall, no documentation of anything. So the mold stayed, sealed behind fresh paint and new texture.
On a 1960s pier-and-beam home near Woodforest Boulevard, our crew opened a kitchen wall after a pipe leak and found original wood-fiber drywall swollen with moisture from Tropical Storm Allison. Behind it, a layer of Harvey-era mold had been hidden under a fresh coat of paint. We cut back the affected studs, treated the framing with an EPA-registered antimicrobial, and rebuilt using mold-resistant drywall and a Dri-Eaz dehumidifier, documenting every step for the homeowner’s insurance claim. That’s what reconstruction in Cloverleaf actually involves: finding the damage that got skipped over the last time, fixing it right, and proving it. If you’re in Cloverleaf and need help, call us. Wade will be there himself.
