Trusted Reconstruction & Cleanup for Atlanta Homeowners
When your Atlanta home has been through a fire, a flood, or a bad storm, the damage doesn’t stop when the water recedes or the flames go out. What you’re left with is a torn-up house and a stack of insurance paperwork. That’s where we come in. Wade’s Restoration of Atlanta has handled Reconstruction & Cleanup - Atlanta for homeowners since 2007, and we’ve rebuilt everything from a single smoke-damaged room in Brookhaven to a fully gutted basement in Sandy Springs. Wade Ferris answers his own phone at (888) 690-3757, and he’ll be the one walking your property, not a project manager you never hear from again.
What Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Service Includes
Full-Service Reconstruction
This is the heavy work: framing, drywall, paint, trim, and getting your house livable again after a disaster. When a fire in your kitchen damages the cabinets, ceiling, and electrical, or a burst pipe in your Druid Hills home soaks the walls to the studs, you may need Reconstruction & Cleanup in Druid Hills,, you need someone who does more than mop up. Wade coordinates the entire rebuild with his own crew, so you’re not stuck juggling three different subcontractors. We pull permits where Atlanta’s code requires them, and we don’t cut corners to speed up a claim.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
Water and fire both destroy drywall and flooring faster than most people expect. A small roof leak in your Mableton attic can saturate insulation and leave ceiling drywall sagging within a week. We cut out the damaged material, dry the framing properly using Dri-Eaz equipment, and hang, tape, and finish new drywall so it matches what was there before. Hardwood floors in older Atlanta homes often need board replacement rather than full tear-out, and we’re honest about which gets you the better result for the money.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
When your home needs major work, your furniture, clothes, and personal items do too. We pack out affected rooms, inventory everything with photos, and haul it to our climate-controlled facility for cleaning and storage. A smoke-damaged sofa from a Fair Oaks kitchen fire often costs far less to restore than replace, but we’ll tell you when it’s not worth saving. Every item gets documented for your adjuster, and everything comes back only after your home is clean and ready.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
After water extraction and structural drying, carpets and upholstery often need deep cleaning or replacement. We use professional-grade XPOWER air movers and extraction tools to pull embedded dirt, soot, and moisture that household vacuums can’t touch. If carpet in your North Atlanta rental property took on sewage from a backup, we’ll tell you straight: some things can’t be saved and shouldn’t be. For the things that can, our cleaning leaves them safe to live with again.
Post-Construction Cleanup
Reconstruction leaves behind a layer of fine dust on every surface, inside every cabinet, and coating your HVAC vents. We do a full Best Reconstruction & Cleanup in Atlanta, GA post-construction clean after our own jobs, and we also take calls from Atlanta homeowners whose contractor finished but left the place a dust bowl. Phoenix air scrubbers run during the cleanup to pull particles out of the air, not just off the counters. HEPA-vacuuming, surface wiping, and vent cleaning are all part of it.
Insurance Claim Documentation
This is the part where Atlanta homeowners get burned by the wrong company. Wade has dealt directly with adjusters for nearly two decades, and he documents every stage of the job with photos, moisture readings, and itemized line items that speak insurance language. You don’t have to translate between your contractor and your carrier. When you file or reopen a claim for your Smyrna house, we hand you a documentation package your adjuster can actually work with, and Wade will get on the phone with them directly.

Brands We Service for Reconstruction & Cleanup
We use Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment on our jobs because we’ve watched cheap gear fail mid-job and leave a homeowner’s house wet for an extra three days. Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and air movers are built for the sustained run times that Atlanta’s humidity demands, especially in crawlspaces and basements. Their moisture sensors and data loggers let us hand you a daily record of drying progress, not a vague “it feels dry to me.”
XPOWER air scrubbers and blowers come out on our post-construction and mold cleanup work, where airflow and air quality matter most. We service our own equipment, keep it clean, and replace parts before they fail on your job. Whether your home is in Marietta, Vinings, or anywhere else around Atlanta, the machines we bring are only as good as the person running them, and Wade’s crew knows how to run them right.
Signs You Need Reconstruction & Cleanup Right Now
- Water stains spreading on your ceiling or walls. A stain that grows day over day means water is still moving through the material above it. Left alone, that wet drywall starts sagging, then collapses, and mold isn’t far behind in Atlanta’s warm months.
- That musty smell after a leak or flood won’t go away. If your basement in North Druid Hills still smells damp two weeks after a water event, the moisture found a place to hide. Trapped water in wall cavities or under flooring keeps feeding microbial growth until someone opens it up and dries it properly.
- Cracked, bubbling, or peeling paint in one area. Paint failure in a single spot almost always means water behind the surface. By the time the paint bubbles, the drywall behind it is already compromised and needs to be opened up, dried, and patched.
- Warped or buckling floors near a bathroom, kitchen, or water heater. Hardwood and laminate both cup and lift when they take on water from underneath. You may need board replacement after the subfloor is dried, and waiting only makes the damage wider.
- Soot residue or that lingering smoke smell after a fire. Smoke particles settle everywhere, not just around the flames. Without professional contents cleaning and surface sealing, the odor comes back every warm day, and your walls and ductwork keep holding the smell.

You get the 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If something isn’t done right, we come back and make it right. That’s not a marketing line. It’s stamped on your contract, and one call brings Wade back.
How Much Does Reconstruction & Cleanup Cost in Atlanta?
A full reconstruction project in Atlanta typically runs $8,000 to $45,000 or more, depending on how much square footage you’re rebuilding and what got destroyed. Drywall and flooring repair as a standalone job usually lands between $1,200 and $6,500. Contents pack-out and cleaning for one or two rooms runs $800 to $3,000, while post-construction cleaning on a whole home averages $500 to $1,800. Carpet and upholstery cleaning sits lower, typically $150 to $600 per room. What moves the number is the size of the affected area, whether structural framing needs replacement, how much electrical or plumbing has to be redone, and how quickly you act. The faster we can dry things out, the less you rebuild. Our estimates are free, itemized, and in writing before work starts. Call (888) 690-3757 and Wade will give you a real number, not a phone quote that doubles by day two.
How to avoid overpaying: get the written scope before you sign anything, ask for daily moisture logs, and make sure your contractor talks to your adjuster directly. We do all three on every job.
