Why Wade’s Restoration of Minneapolis Is Edina’s Preferred Reconstruction & Cleanup Company
Since 2007, Wade Ferris has built a reputation in Edina by doing what national franchises won’t: showing up on time, writing down what he’ll do before any work starts, and standing behind the result in writing. Edina homeowners in the Country Club District, along Interlachen Boulevard, and throughout the 55424 zip code keep our number because we understand pre-war construction.

We’ve documented flood losses on Minnehaha Creek, rebuilt kitchens in 1960s ramblers off Vernon Avenue, and restored period millwork in Tudors near Edina Country Club. Our customers tend to hear about us from neighbors, not from a billboard. Ask anyone on your street. Wade’s name on the side of the truck means he runs into you at Lunds & Byerlys on a Saturday, and that’s the oldest accountability mechanism there is.
Our Reconstruction & Cleanup Services in Edina
Full-Service Reconstruction
When a water loss or fire requires more than extraction and drying, we handle the rebuild end to end. That includes framing, insulation, drywall or plaster, trim, paint, and finish carpentry. In Edina’s Country Club District, we regularly rebuild lath-and-plaster assemblies to match the original thickness and texture, so a repair doesn’t read as a patch. A full-gut kitchen reconstruction in Edina typically runs $22,000-$48,000; a single wet wall in a 1960s rambler runs closer to $3,500-$7,500.
Drywall & Flooring Repair
We replace water-damaged drywall, match texture, and repair or replace hardwood, tile, and carpet. Edina’s high-character homes demand material sourcing that goes beyond big-box stock: we match oak, maple, and fir profiles and source salvaged flooring when a seamless patch is required. Standard drywall repair after a ceiling leak in Edina runs $900-$2,800 per room. Hardwood floor repair or refinish runs $6-$14 per square foot depending on the species and finish.
Contents Restoration & Pack-Out
After a fire or flood, we inventory, pack, transport, clean, and store your belongings, then return them once reconstruction is complete. We use Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER equipment for contents drying, and we photograph everything for your adjuster. For Edina clients with antiques, artwork, and heirloom furniture in Country Club District homes, our pack-out process includes condition documentation at pickup, so claim values are never debated after the fact. Contents pack-out and restoration in Edina generally runs $2,500-$12,000 depending on volume and specialty cleaning needs.
Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning
Post-construction cleanup starts with removing the dust that settles into carpet fiber and fabric after drywall work, sanding, and trim installation. We run professional-grade hot water extraction using B-Air movers to speed drying. Most Edina carpet cleaning jobs run $250-$600 per floor, and upholstery runs $75-$180 per piece depending on size and material. It’s the fastest way to make a rebuilt room feel move-in ready.

Trusted Brands We Service in Edina
We run Dri-Eaz desiccants, Injectidry floor mats, XPOWER air movers, and Phoenix dehumidifiers on Edina jobs every week. These aren’t rental-counter units. They’re commercial-grade machines built for the moisture loads we see in older Edina homes, and we keep replacement filters, hoses, and mats stocked for fast turnaround. If you’re in the 55424 zip code and your basement took on water near Nine Mile Creek, we’re not waiting on equipment. It’s already on the truck.
Common Reconstruction & Cleanup Problems We See in Edina Homes
- Ice-dam water damage in steep-roofed Tudors. Freeze-thaw cycling in the Twin Cities pushes meltwater behind siding and into attic assemblies. In Country Club District homes, that water ends up behind horsehair plaster, where it hides until the ceiling sags or the trim begins to cup.
- Misjudged moisture readings in plaster walls. Horsehair plaster holds moisture differently than drywall. Contractors without local experience routinely close up walls too early, and mold blooms behind the new trim six months later. We log moisture readings daily and hand you the full record at the end of the job.
- Knob-and-tube wiring and cast-iron stacks uncovered during demo. Open a wall in a 1920s Edina home and you may find live knob-and-tube wiring or a cracked cast-iron drain line. If it’s not flagged before demolition, the rebuild stalls or the cost jumps. We flag it in writing before the first cut is made.
- Mismatched millwork profiles. Modern baseboards and door casings don’t match Country Club District originals. When we rebuild, we match species, profile, and finish so the repair doesn’t advertise itself to every future buyer and inspector.

FAQs - Reconstruction & Cleanup in Edina
Horsehair plaster walls need adjusted drying-time calculations, pre-demolition inspection for knob-and-tube wiring and cast-iron stacks, and a finish coat matched to the original thickness and texture. In the Country Club District, crews opening walls after a water loss regularly find original wood-lath-and-horsehair plaster, which holds moisture differently than drywall and must be documented for the adjuster before reconstruction scopes are finalized. Call (888) 690-6095 and we’ll walk you through what we found and what it means for the rebuild.
We use Dri-Eaz desiccants and Injectidry floor mats to pull moisture from behind plaster and under original oak floors without removing the millwork. In Edina’s Country Club District, that means leaving crown molding, baseboards, and door casings in place wherever possible. Our team responded to a water loss in a Country Club District Tudor on the 4900 block of Arden Avenue, where ice damming had driven meltwater behind horsehair plaster in a finished attic bedroom. We documented the exposed knob-and-tube wiring, flagged it for the adjuster, and adjusted our drying protocol to protect the original oak millwork. The reconstruction phase matched the existing lath-and-plaster finish and sourced salvaged quarter-sawn oak flooring for a seamless patch, leaving no visible transition between old and new.
Yes. We source salvaged quarter-sawn oak and mill it to match the width, thickness, and grain pattern of the original floor, then stain and finish to blend. In Edina’s Country Club District, original floors are often 3/4-inch quarter-sawn oak with a distinct fleck figure, and modern off-the-shelf replacements don’t match. We do this on nearly every pre-war Edina home we rebuild. Call (888) 690-6095 to talk through your specific floor.
Edina doesn’t require special documentation beyond what insurers already demand: daily moisture logs, photo evidence of all damaged materials, and a written scope separating flood damage from pre-existing conditions. Nine Mile Creek’s watershed cuts directly through Edina, creating documented recurring flood exposure for properties in its corridor. We provide daily moisture readings, complete photo documentation, and direct adjuster communication, so you’re never the one stuck relaying information between two sides. Call (888) 690-6095 if your adjuster needs specific evidence or you’re not sure what to document.
We stop work in the affected area, isolate it, and flag the material in writing before demolition continues. Many 1950s-1970s Edina ramblers across central and eastern neighborhoods contain asbestos in vinyl floor tile and insulation. We coordinate with a licensed abatement contractor to remove the material, then continue reconstruction once air clearance is confirmed. If you suspect asbestos in your rambler, call (888) 690-6095 before anyone starts swinging a hammer.
If you need reconstruction or cleanup in Edina, the fastest way to get Wade on the phone is (888) 690-6095. Free estimates, no trip charge inside our county, and a 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If it’s not done right, he makes it right.
