Why Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta Is Auburn’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Wade’s Restoration has spent nearly two decades rebuilding homes across Auburn after storms, floods, and structural failures. This isn’t a franchise outfit that flies in adjusters and subs you’ll never see again. Wade Ferris runs this company, answers his own phone, and shows up on jobs in Auburn himself. His name is on the truck, and he’s going to run into you again at the Ingles on Atlanta Highway or the gas station off SR 316. That’s the accountability that matters.
What Auburn homeowners tell us they value most is the straight answer before the work starts. A written scope with line-item pricing, not a verbal estimate that balloons after demo. Moisture readings taken daily and handed to you in a log at the end. Direct communication with your insurance adjuster so you’re not the one relaying technical questions between two sides. That’s how we’ve built our name in Auburn, and it’s why homeowners here recommend us to neighbors on Mount Moriah Road, in the 30011 zip code, and throughout the area.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Auburn
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a wind event compromises framing, a water leak rots subfloor, or a storm leaves your Auburn home structurally unsound, we rebuild it properly. That means sistering damaged joists, replacing sheathing, reframing door and window openings, and tying everything back to current code. We don’t patch over rot and call it done. In Auburn’s 2000s-era tract homes, we frequently find hidden damage behind synthetic housewrap that other crews missed because they didn’t check sheathing behind the wrap. We do.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Water intrusion around entry doors and windows in Auburn homes tends to swell drywall and buckle laminate flooring fast, especially in the humid weeks following a storm. We cut out the damaged drywall, dry the cavity with professional-grade equipment properly, and replace it so it doesn’t ghost back with mold in six months. Flooring gets the same treatment. If water got under laminate or engineered wood, partial replacement rarely works long-term. We’ll tell you honestly whether a section can be saved or the whole room needs to come up.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When an Auburn home takes on water or storm debris damages belongings, we document everything, pack out what’s salvageable, clean and restore it off-site, and return it once the structure is rebuilt. Contents get inventoried with photos for your insurance claim. Furniture, clothing, electronics, documents. If a storm blew rain through a broken window in your Auburn home and soaked the living room, we can handle the couch, the rug, the drywall, and the window framing all on one job.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After a reconstruction job, even areas that weren’t directly damaged collect construction dust and debris. We deep-clean carpet, rugs, and upholstery as part of the final cleanup phase so you don’t walk back into a home that still smells like drywall dust. Post-construction cleanup in Auburn also includes wiping down surfaces, cleaning ducts where needed, and removing all work debris. The job isn’t done when the last nail is driven. It’s done when you can move back in and breathe clean air.

Trusted Brands We Service in Auburn
Our crews run professional-grade drying and restoration equipment from Dri-Eaz, XPOWER, and B-Air, which matters when you’re trying to dry out a crawl space that flooded during an Auburn thunderstorm. The equipment gets the humidity down fast enough to prevent secondary damage. We keep common replacement parts and supplies stocked for Auburn jobs, which cuts turnaround time. If we need to order something specific for your door or flooring, we’ll tell you exactly when it’ll arrive and when the work happens.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Auburn Homes
- Builder-grade entry doors failing at hinges and strike plates. In wind events, especially spring line storms, the door itself doesn’t fail. The hinge screws pull out of the rough opening or the strike plate tears out of the jamb. Then rain blows straight into the entryway and swells the drywall and flooring around it.
- Crawl-space flooding in red-clay subdivisions. Auburn’s 2000s developments were rough-graded with dense Georgia red clay fill. Water doesn’t soak in. It runs off. A two-inch rain can leave standing water under a home off Mount Moriah Road within hours, and that water wicks up into subfloor insulation and framing.
- Hidden roof damage after storm debris. Homeowners patch shingles or clear panels off the roof but never check the OSB sheathing underneath. Six months later, water has been seeping behind the synthetic housewrap, and by the time you see a stain on the ceiling, the sheathing is gone.
- Delayed cleanup leading to mold on subfloor insulation. Crawl spaces flood. Homeowners don’t call because the house itself stayed dry. Then the humidity rises, the insulation stays damp, and mold blooms on the underside of the subfloor. By the time anyone notices, the remediation is bigger and more expensive.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Auburn
Does Auburn require a specific wind rating when I replace my storm-damaged entry door?
Auburn follows Barrow County building codes, which reference the Georgia state wind load requirements for the region. Doors and windows in Auburn generally need to meet a design wind pressure rating suited to our exposure, and an impact-rated or wind-rated door is the right replacement when a storm has already compromised the original. We handle permitting and code compliance on every reconstruction job, so you don’t have to sort out what code applies. Call (888) 690-3757 and we’ll check the requirements for your specific home.
Why did my crawl space flood after a moderate afternoon thunderstorm when my neighbor’s stayed dry?
Auburn’s 2000s subdivisions were rough-graded with compacted Georgia red clay that sheds water instead of absorbing it, and drainage depends on the grading of your specific lot. If your home sits slightly lower or your lot’s swale has settled over the years, runoff from the whole street can funnel toward your foundation while your neighbor’s lot drains away. Two inches of rain in forty minutes is more than enough to put standing water in a crawl space under those conditions. We see it all summer in Auburn.
If a tornado or hail storm damages my roof and a window, can you handle the structural rebuild and the contents cleanup?
Yes. We handle the structural rebuild, the window replacement, the drywall and flooring repair, and the contents cleanup all on one job. You’re not coordinating a roofer, a restoration crew, and a cleaning service. One phone call, one written scope, one crew led by Wade’s team. That means the insurance documentation is consistent across every phase of the work too.
How fast do you respond after a summer storm leaves standing water in my Auburn crawl space?
Calls are answered by a live person 24/7, and Wade can typically have a crew headed to Auburn within the hour. Extraction equipment starts pulling water out fast. The longer standing water sits in a crawl space, especially in Auburn’s humid summer conditions, the faster mold colonizes the subfloor insulation and framing. Speed matters on these jobs, and we run trucks in this area regularly.
My 2005-era home has a swollen front door and buckled laminate near the entry after a wind event. Can you reconstruct it and document the damage for insurance?
Yes. We’ll remove the damaged door and framing, check for hidden water damage in the rough opening and subfloor, dry everything properly, then rebuild with a wind-rated door and new flooring. We photograph every step and document the moisture readings for your adjuster. If you need help with the insurance paperwork, we’ll talk to the adjuster directly. Wade has been doing this for Auburn homeowners since long before you had to file a claim.
