Save a Buck, Make a Buck With Salvage

Working on a building demolition, new build or remodel?

Before you give the final OK to the plans take a spin down to Earthwise Architectural Salvage.

Earthwise Architectural Salvage specializes in the reclamation of historic building materials. Their retail warehouse is full of vintage and new doors, windows, lighting, and lumber. They also offer a diverse assortment of architectural antiques including stained glass, wrought iron, pillars, posts, and columns.

For large demolition projects it costs nothing to have one of their salvage experts "coordinate a walk-through of your site and present you with a written estimate of compensation, along with a list of the items to be removed contingent upon your approval."

Recent postings to their facebook page include photos such as this headboard, historic doors and flooring.

Their website includes a sample list of inventory and guidelines for what material they will accept.

Reusing materials from buildings being deconstructed reduces the amount of material that goes to the landfill. The less material sent to the landfill the less spent in fees and the cost of developing new land fill space. Business and homeowners can get some great deals when purchasing materials from Earthwise Architectural Salvage. If you have material to pick up or drop off that meets their guidelines you can receive cash, store credit or tax donation receipts.
