Great option for architectural salvage. Doors, windows, hardware, and other 1860s-1940s goods. Lots of salvaged flooring.
Had to bring my truck back to pick up a door I had purchased a few weeks earlier, but the employee almost refused to give me the door. She made me turn off my truck and continued to make derogatory comments about my truck. Here I am trying to reduce the waste in this world and re-purpose items that would otherwise end up in the landfill. And I usually drive a 37mpg car. I don't think I'll go back.
I've frequented many a salvage store and this is one of the priciest ones. I love their mission but not making it affordable for those of us trying to lovingly restore old homes. You'll have better luck on FB Marketplace.
