Salvaged Building Materials
Everyone wants to find bargains on building materials to help reduce costs and debt on their projects and many people are searching for greener ways to build or remodel. Salvaged building materials can be a big part of the solution. Decorators can also find everything from lighting, cabinet accessories to door knobs that add a charm and interest that can not be found at the usual home improvement stores.
Salvaged Materials in DIY Projects, Decorating
Today the news is full of urgent messages telling us to conserve, reuse and preserve our resources. Using salvaged building materials when and where possible in your next project is a good way to do all of these things while saving money.
Large retail stores selling unused salvaged building materials can be found in nearly every large city today and with a quick search online stores that sell materials from deconstruction sources and even auction sites can be found. Small projects can benefit from the savings found in discontinued, end of the roll and last few boxes of flooring, wallpapers, cabinet hardware even lighting supplies. Truckload and railcar salvaged goods can offer great savings for both large and small projects on everything from cabinets to bath fixtures and roofing materials.
Savings is not the only reason to think of salvaged building materials. If you like owning unique and character filled items then salvaged lighting fixtures, cabinet hardware, door knobs and strike plates can add a special, highly noticeable charm. Lining walls with naturally weathered wood has become a popular way to add depth and interest to rooms and porches. Salvaged materials can solve many problems for people that find decorating and warming up a space a difficult or challenging job.
Do it yourself projects can save even more and reduce your overall debt. Deconstructing a structure even if a crew of experts must be hired can still yield savings if you are able to use enough of the salvaged materials or if you resell those that you don’t need or want can even bring in a profit.

Saving Money and Deconstruction
Saving on costs and debt is a major part of any project for most of us, especially when it comes to our homes. Whether remodeling or building new, substantial savings can be found in salvaged lumber, doors, cabinets, trim, lighting fixtures, the list goes on. Availability was a problem in the past but today the salvage business is expanding everywhere even online. There is also a growing trend toward ‘deconstructing’ buildings to salvage useable building materials.
Deconstruction programs have become a major part of Habitat for Humanity affiliates in many cities now. This way of recycling materials can salvage from the average size home about 6,000 feet of lumber, the equivalent of 33 mature trees. Add to these materials the discontinued, end of the roll, limited quantity products and truckload sales at the large salvage stores and everyone, not just Contractors, can get in on this money saving way to get projects done.
If you are planning to remove an old shed, barn, out buildings or entire house consider having it deconstructed to salvage the useable materials for resale or to use in the building of a new structure. If you would rather let someone else deal with that part, the Habitat for Humanity program is a good place to donate any buildings you need to remove to make way for new construction, you on longer want or just to be rid of a structure that is no longer useful. You will get a nice tax deduction from Habitat, you don’t have to pay to have the building demolished or moved and Habitat will recycle the materials in one of their Restore stores and use the money to build new houses. The recycled materials are not used in the building of Habitat homes, no doubt due to government red tape but for every three feet of salvaged building materials they recover enough revenue for one foot of new construction.
