Wood Salvage

Wood salvage, amidst the complexities of big demolition jobs, is often an afterthought. We do not see it that way. We provide a full-service solution: We do not just take the good parts and leave you with a mess like most “antique materials” prospectors.


We have a reliable network of interested buyers, a team of hands-on experts and the best tools and technology in the business to remove your construction wood and give it new life through recycling and reuse.

Wood salvage is more than saving nice window frames and re-selling vintage doorknobs. It requires careful prep work, an expert eye for assessing value, and specialized tools and processes. All of that is standard to our basic process and just a small part of the services we provide for our satisfied clients.

Older buildings are especially sought-after in the wood recycling industry, because they are often full of the ornate, unique pieces that are in demand for their decorative and historical value. Many demolition sites can be converted into a profitable source of salvaged materials. We can maximize the yield – and that is a big win for your bottom line because we are reducing your disposal costs and turning scrap into assets.

Of course, wood salvage is a selective process and that is exactly why you want to be working with a full-service demolition company. We can take flooring, trim, siding and architectural details and sell them to developers, the antiques market and industrial suppliers.

However, we do not just pick over your site for “the good stuff,” we provide the total package, from tear-down to clean up to proper and careful disposal. Our team is full insured and highly trained and we provide them with the most advanced tools available to get the job done right.

Wood salvage is just the beginning of what we do for you. We have years of experience with dismantling and salvaging metals, concrete, machines and a range of other materials. We have a wide network of buyers who pay excellent market prices for scraps and dismantled woodwork.

This is green demolition at its best: More post demolition materials are given new life and kept out of the landfill, making for a cleaner environment. The demand for these materials can also offset your demolition costs and boost your bottom line.

No matter how complex or insurmountable you think your demolition problem is, we are ready to talk solutions at a price that will probably surprise you. Our takedown process balances the need for careful safety and careful preservation of all recyclable materials. In other words, we can do it right and do it fast, too.

Wood salvage is an earth friendly way to tear down an unwanted building and give its best features a new life. We are constantly surprising our customers with how much material we can salvage and recycle. Because of the sheer volume we handle, we have forged strong relationships with buyers around the country and we pay careful attention to what is in demand month to month.

Get a free consultation and talk to one of our experts when you begin planning your demolition. They will walk you through the process, answer all your questions, and carefully assess your project. We can convert an eyesore structure into an orderly pile of raw materials, and get you the best price for them, too.
