Salvage
- How We Get Our Products
ReHouse diverts quality reusable antique,
vintage and modern building materials from the landfill. We
accomplish this by salvaging architectural items and offering them for
sale at the ReHouse store.
Our
salvage crew works on-site at houses that are going to be torn down or
remodeled. They carefully remove reusable items such as
doors, cabinets, and lighting fixtures. The salvaged items
are then loaded on a truck and hauled to the ReHouse store where we
offer them for sale.

are always looking for sources of salvaged items.
