Wood River Maintenance is a locally owned restoration company serving Sun Valley, Idaho. We handle water damage, mold remediation, fire and smoke damage, radon mitigation and the reconstruction afterward. Most of the properties we work on here are second homes, so we are set up to take the call from a caretaker, property manager or HOA and report to an owner who is somewhere else.
What we do in Sun Valley
Five services, one crew, and one number your property manager can keep on file.
Frozen lines in a closed-up house, failures in HOA buildings, spring melt under the foundation. Extraction, measured drying and documentation for the owner and the association.
The finish work that returns the property to the standard it was built to.
Built around owners who are not here
Sun Valley is a town where most of the front doors are locked most of the year, and that single fact shapes how restoration has to work here. The person who discovers the problem is rarely the person who owns the building. By the time an owner hears about it, someone else has already been standing in the water for an hour.
So we work the way the town actually works. We take the call from caretakers, property managers, HOA boards, neighbors and alarm companies. With an owner's authorization on file we can be inside and working before a decision about flying out has been made. Everything we do gets photographed and measured, and the owner gets it directly, wherever they are.
The practical advice, if you own here: set this up before anything happens. Give whoever watches your house our number and the authority to use it. The worst version of this is a caretaker standing in a flooded kitchen at 11pm trying to reach an owner in another time zone to ask permission.
The two windows that catch people
Late October through December, and April through June. The season is over or has not started, the house is at low heat, and nobody is scheduled to be there. Almost every serious loss we handle in Sun Valley started in one of those two gaps and ran for days or weeks before anybody opened the door.
If your house sits through either window, the cheapest thing you will ever do is have someone walk it. Not a service call — just eyes on the building, the mechanical room and the crawl space before the gap, not after.
When to call us
Your caretaker, manager or alarm company reports water
A pipe froze, or the house dropped below temperature while it was empty
You are opening the house for the season and something smells wrong
There is a stain, a soft spot or a warped floor that was not there last visit
An HOA neighbor has a leak that may have reached your unit
An inspection flagged mold, moisture or radon ahead of a sale
There has been a fire, however small
You are closing the house up and want it checked first
If you are out of state and not sure how bad it is, call. We will go look and send you photographs before you book a flight.

Hayden does quality work, with any water damage, smoke damage & fire damage. He helped us kill all the mold and smoke smell in the house we renovated. Highly recommend using Wood River Maintenance for all of your emergency needs.

I couldn't be happier with the work Wood River Maintenance did on my office. As a first-time homeowner tackling my first real project, I wasn't sure what to expect — but Hayden and his team made the entire experience seamless from start to finish.
From the beginning, Hayden was thorough, communicative, and walked me through every step of the process. When an unexpected PVC pipe was uncovered from the previous owner mid-project, he problem-solved on the spot and kept me informed and confident the entire way through. That kind of transparency and professionalism is hard to find.
The finished work speaks for itself — the wall and baseboard were patched and blended so perfectly with the original texture that you would never know anything had been touched. The attention to detail was impressive.
Wood River Maintenance will absolutely be my first call for every project and facelift going forward, and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Thank you Hayden and team — you exceeded every expectation!

Although there were some bumps in the road ( delay of shipment of materials, which was beyond his control) Hayden was a very good communicator throughout my repairs as was he true to his word. He also made sure that everything was quality work and was to my satisfaction. In addition, he was personable yet professional.

We are based in Hailey, about 90 minutes door to door, locally owned and working in this valley year round. Not a franchise and not dispatched from Twin Falls.
Yes, and that is how most of our Sun Valley work runs. With your authorization we take direction from your manager, caretaker or HOA and send you the photographs, readings and written scope directly.
Our number with whoever watches the house, written authorization for them to call us, and a clear decision about whether the house is heated through or winterized. If it is being left at low heat, we generally suggest no lower than 55 and shutting off the main if it will sit for weeks.
Yes, including Elkhorn and the other attached buildings. When one unit's failure affects others we document each unit separately, because each usually involves a different policy.
Yes. Tell us the date. We run transaction work on the closing timeline and produce written scope and completion documentation both agents can put in the file.
Yes, testing and mitigation both, and Blaine County's building code makes radon a more common transaction item here than almost anywhere else in Idaho.
All of the 83353 zip code — Elkhorn, Sun Valley Village, the Dollar Mountain area and Trail Creek — plus Ketchum, Hailey and Bellevue — the rest of the Wood River Valley towns we serve.
