Demolition

The Habitat ReStore Demolition Team works with donors tearing down entire buildings or simply remodeling a kitchen to acquire quality materials to sell in our ReStore.  With hundreds of years of combined experience, our demolition team will remove your kitchens, bathrooms, and any other installed and salvageable building fixtures.  Your house will be left in great condition and you will save hundreds of dollars in deinstallation fees.  Furthermore, all of those materials are kept out of our landfills and are reused by another family.  So call today or email the ReStore Manager and set up an appointment with our demolition team!

How it works

  • Our ReStore Manager visits the site to review the items we can accept and prepares a written agreement for signature by the property owner.
  • He schedules a workday(s).
  • Our ReStore Demolition Team removes acceptable items from the walls, floors and framework of the building to load into our truck.
  • The Habitat ReStore gives a signed Donation Receipt listing all the items received by Habitat for Humanity.  This receipt will be used as proof for the property owner's tax deduction.
  • We can schedule further scrapping by contractors who donate to the Habitat ReStore.
