Why Wade’s Restoration of Houston Is Fulshear’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade Ferris has run this company since 2007, and his name is on the truck. That matters in a place like Fulshear, where people still ask around before they let anyone into their home. When you call, Wade answers. Not a call center, not a dispatcher. Wade. He will tell you what he thinks over the phone, and if the job needs eyes on it, he heads out.
Fulshear homeowners have told us the same story over and over: a national chain quoted one price on the phone and a different one at the door. We do not work that way. Wade gives you a written scope before work starts. No surprises, no vague “we will see how it goes.” If the scope changes, he calls you first.
Our crew has worked in Cross Creek Ranch, Polo Ranch, and the newer phases off FM 1093 and FM 359. We understand how these homes are built and where the water goes when it gets in. That local knowledge means we tear out less and dry faster. It also means we know what your insurance adjuster needs to see, and we document accordingly. Wade deals with the adjuster directly, so you are not stuck relaying messages back and forth.
Ask anyone on your street. In Fort Bend County, word gets around. Wade answers his own phone, shows up in person, and stands behind the work with a 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, he makes it right. In writing.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Fulshear
Full-Service Reconstruction
When floodwater gets past the baseboards and into drywall, there is no shortcut. We cut the damaged sections, dry the cavities, and rebuild to match what was there. In Fulshear, that often means matching the work of volume builders like Lennar, Taylor Morrison, D.R. Horton, and Perry Homes. We source the same trim profiles, door styles, and paint sheens so the repair does not look like a patch. A typical single-room tearout and rebuild in Fulshear runs $2,800-$6,200. Whole first floors can push $9,500 or more, especially with flooring replacement.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Fulshear’s expansive Vertisol clay shrinks and heaves with the seasons. That movement opens slab cracks, and slab cracks let water up under the flooring. We have pulled up engineered wood in a Cross Creek Ranch home and found the subfloor still wet two weeks after the standing water was gone. Drywall repair after flooding in Fulshear typically runs $1,200-$3,800 depending on the linear feet of wall opened. Flooring replacement adds $4-$9 per square foot for engineered wood, $3-$7 for tile, and $2-$5 for carpet.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
Your furniture and personal items need to move out fast so structural drying can start. We pack out, inventory, and document everything. Photos, item lists, condition notes. That documentation is what your adjuster needs to process the contents portion of your claim, and we hand it over ready to submit. For Fulshear homeowners dealing with a first-time flood claim, that piece matters as much as the drywall work.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Not every flood destroys carpet. If the water was clean and the carpet was pulled, dried, and treated within 48 hours, restoration is often possible. We run professional extraction and drying with XPOWER and B-Air equipment, then clean and sanitize. Carpet cleaning after water exposure in Fulshear runs $250-$650 per room depending on size and soiling. Upholstery cleaning runs $75-$200 per piece.

When you call from Fulshear, we do not have to special-order anything or wait on a parts run.

Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Fulshear Homes
- Slab cracks from Vertisol clay movement. Fulshear sits on expansive clay that shrinks in drought and heaves after rain. The resulting slab cracks are how Brazos River floodwater finds its way up under your flooring, into the subfloor cavities, and behind baseboards where you cannot see it until the mold starts.
- Spray-foam insulation trapping moisture. These tightly built energy-efficient homes hold water in the wall and attic assemblies. Where an older home would air-dry, a Fulshear home seals the moisture in. Mold colonization can begin within 24-48 hours, and drying scopes run significantly longer. Our Phoenix and Dri-Eaz equipment runs for days, not hours, on these homes.
- Detention ponds still under construction. Off FM 1093 and FM 359, many neighborhoods are still being built out. The detention ponds are not yet at final engineered capacity because the adjacent phases are not done. A moderate rain event, not a named storm, can flood first floors in homes that are only two or three years old. We see this pattern regularly.
- First-time flood claim confusion. Fulshear homeowners who bought into master-planned communities like Polo Ranch often assumed flood insurance was not needed. When the first flood hits, they are filing a claim for the first time, often with NFIP, and they do not know what documentation is required. We walk them through it while we rebuild.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Fulshear
Because Fulshear’s stormwater infrastructure is still catching up to its growth. The detention ponds off FM 1093 and FM 359 are often not at final engineered capacity while adjacent phases are still under construction. When a moderate rain hits, the system backs up and first floors flood in homes that are only two or three years old, regardless of floodplain maps. If this happened to you, call (888) 534-8116 and Wade will document the damage properly for your claim.
Within 24 to 48 hours in most Fulshear homes. Gulf Coast humidity runs above 70% even in dry periods, and the spray-foam insulated wall assemblies in these newer homes trap moisture instead of letting it dry outward. That is why we do not wait on mold. We start extraction and drying the day you call.
Often yes. Fulshear’s Vertisol clay soil shrinks and heaves seasonally, and floodwater can widen existing slab cracks or create new ones. Before we lay new flooring, we assess the slab, seal active cracks, and check for moisture in the subfloor cavities. Skipping this step is how you end up with mold under a brand-new floor.
Yes, especially if you are filing with NFIP for the first time. Your adjuster needs photo documentation, moisture readings, itemized loss inventories, and a written scope of the reconstruction work. We provide all of that. Wade deals with the adjuster directly, so you are not in the middle translating between the contractor and the insurance company.
Yes, if mitigation starts fast enough. Clean-water flood exposure with carpets pulled, dried, and treated within 48 hours can often be restored rather than replaced. We use XPOWER and B-Air drying equipment and professional-grade cleaning. If the water was contaminated or the carpets sat wet longer than two days, replacement is usually the safer call. Wade will tell you straight which one applies to your situation.
