Fast, Reliable Reconstruction & Cleanup Across Texas City
When storm surge from Galveston Bay pushes through your Texas City neighborhood, the damage isn’t the same as a broken pipe in a Houston high-rise. Water moves through refinery buffer zones, across slab-on-grade bungalows, and into wall cavities that hold salt for months. We’re Reconstruction & Cleanup specialists who work in zip codes 77590, 77591, and 77592 every week. If you need someone who understands what Texas City homes actually face after a storm, call (888) 534-8116. We answer live, 24 hours a day, and we’ll be on the road to you fast.

Why Wade’s Restoration of Houston Is Texas City’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade’s Restoration has been locally owned and operated since 2007, and the person whose name is on the truck is the same person who shows up. Wade Ferris doesn’t send a call center or a rotating cast of subcontractors. He answers his own phone, publishes his address and license number, and stands behind every job with a written 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, he makes it right. That’s not a slogan. It’s stamped on every restoration contract.
Texas City homeowners have told us the same story for years: a national outfit quoted one number on the phone, then doubled it once the crew walked in. That doesn’t happen with us. We give written scopes before work starts, take moisture readings every single day, and hand you the complete log when the job’s done. Almost nobody in this trade does that. We do because Wade built this company on transparency, not volume.
Our crew serves Texas City neighborhoods from 9th Avenue North to the industrial waterfront, from the 77590 core to Bayou Vista’s edges. We know the housing stock, the slab issues, and the wind-load requirements local inspectors enforce. You’ll see us at the hardware store on Saturday. That’s accountability no national chain can match.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Texas City
Full-Service Reconstruction
After a surge event or fire, your Texas City home needs more than patchwork. We handle full rebuilds: framing repair, envelope restoration, insulation replacement, and finish work. On post-Ike homes from 2008-2012, we’re often the crew that catches deteriorating roof decking and failing flashing before the next storm does. Our Storm & Disaster Restoration in Texas City helps prevent repeat damage. A typical full reconstruction in Texas City runs $18,000-$45,000 depending on square footage and structural condition.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Saltwater intrusion under slab-on-grade bungalows does something freshwater floods don’t: it leaves hygroscopic salt crystals in the concrete that keep pulling moisture from the air long after the puddle’s gone. You can replace drywall and lay new vinyl plank and watch it buckle six months later. We don’t just replace materials. We dry the slab with Injectidry vacuum panels and Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers before we close anything up. Drywall and flooring repair in Texas City typically runs $2,400-$9,800.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When a 1950s ranch on the north side of Texas City floods, the family photos, furniture, and keepsakes need the same attention as the framing. We pack out, inventory, clean, and store your belongings while structure work proceeds. Every item gets documented with photos your adjuster can actually use. Contents restoration and pack-out runs $1,800-$12,000 depending on volume and contamination level.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Post-construction dust, drywall particulates, and residual smoke odor settle into carpet fibers and upholstery fabric. We run professional-grade B-Air and XPOWER air scrubbers during cleanup, then deep-clean carpets and furniture with truck-mounted extraction. Carpet and upholstery cleaning in Texas City runs $180-$650 per room or seating set, and we’ll give you that number in writing before we start.

Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Texas City Homes
- Salt-laden slabs that won’t stay dry. Post-WWII slab-on-grade bungalows in Texas City sit on concrete that wicks saltwater from storm surge. Those salt crystals keep pulling moisture for months, so flooring adhesive fails and vinyl planks buckle long after you thought the job was done. Standard dryout protocols from League City or Dickinson don’t address this. We do.
- Hydrocarbon residue from refinery-adjacent flood paths. Floodwater that crosses the Marathon or Valero buffer zones along the industrial waterfront can carry petroleum residue into framing and subflooring. A contractor who skips testing for hydrocarbon odor spreads volatile compounds through your HVAC system. We test before we set up equipment, every time.
- Wind-rated door replacements that fail inspection. Texas City adopted the 2018 IBC wind-load standards, which means replacement doors need specific design pressure ratings for coastal exposure. A generic big-box door gets red-tagged. We order to spec and document the compliance for your permit record.
- Post-Ike rebuilds hitting their failure window. Homes rebuilt between 2008 and 2012 are now 13-17 years old. Roofing, envelope sealing, and flashing installed in that era is beginning to fail. We’re seeing wind-driven moisture claims climb across 77590 directly because of this age cohort.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Texas City
You look for a hydrocarbon sheen on standing water or a petroleum odor that lingers after the water recedes, and you call a restoration company that tests before setting up dryout equipment. Surge water that crossed the Marathon or Valero buffer zones along Texas City’s industrial waterfront can leave petroleum residue on framing and subflooring that standard freshwater protocols miss entirely. We run a Category 3 hazmat containment with third-party environmental clearance before any rebuild starts. If you’re uncertain, call (888) 534-8116 and we’ll conduct an inspection and testing before you commit to anything.
Because your slab is a sponge for saltwater, and salt is hygroscopic, meaning it keeps drawing moisture from the air for months after the visible water is gone. League City homes sit on different soil and rarely see the same storm surge chemistry. Your Texas City bungalow needs Injectidry vacuum panels pulling salt-laden water from the concrete and extended Dri-Eaz dehumidifier cycles, or the flooring adhesive fails and the vinyl planks buckle later. That’s why we run moisture logs daily and hand you the full record at completion.
Your replacement garage door needs to meet the design pressure requirements in Texas City’s adopted 2018 IBC standards for coastal exposure, which typically means a wind-rated or impact-rated door with documented compliance for your specific exposure category. A generic door from a home center will get red-tagged. We order to spec and provide the compliance paperwork your inspector needs. Call (888) 534-8116 and we’ll verify your zone before you buy anything.
On a 2009 post-Ike rebuild in Texas City, a failing roof envelope usually means water has already gotten into the attic insulation, the tops of exterior wall cavities, and possibly the top plates where wind-driven rain entered through deteriorated flashing. By the time you see a ceiling stain, the damage is weeks old. We find this pattern repeatedly in 77590 and 77591 homes from that rebuild era. The fix is scoped in writing after a full inspection, including thermal imaging and moisture readings, before any demolition starts.
We provide daily moisture logs, photo documentation of every stage, itemized contents inventories, and direct communication with your adjuster so you’re never stuck relaying information between two sides. That documentation is what gets salt-contaminated slab claims approved instead of denied as pre-existing moisture. Call (888) 534-8116 and Wade will deal with the adjuster directly from the first inspection through the final supplement.
