Architectural Salvage – Making Silk from a Sow’s Ear

March 4, 2012 by Paul Edwards 40 Comments

One of the casualties of the collapse of the housing market has been the destruction of thousands of homes. With two million homes vacant at the present time, many more can be expected to be torn down beyond the 200,000 that are torn down in a typical year. These produce architectural salvage. Almost half of the 127 tons of construction debris when a two-thousand-square foot house is demolished can be salvaged and reused, and there’s a ready market for what’s obtained through salvage operations.

The advantages for people who buy architectural salvage are cost savings and being able to buy items and materials with histories.

Architectural salvage businesses can be specialized in a number of ways. For example, you can salvage particular materials, such as bricks, wood, or glass. You can specialize in specific building portions of a building, such as cabinets, doors, windows, molding, etc.

Does a livelihood with a growing need, requires no special licensing, has low start-up costs, low overhead, and flexible hours appeal to you?

For an initial free consultation, explore this or another sustainable livelihood that bests suits your personality and your community, contact us.

      I test the site using four browsers – Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari – and the site, including the images, all load without problem. So my suggestion is to try a different browser than the one you have been using. It’s also possible that something is blocking your browser. I find this sometimes the case with Internet Explorer, which provides what I call “nanny care” sometimes when it’s not wanted.

      We appreciate your compliment on the design. We did use a web designer. We gave her our ideas and she found a WordPress template. The logo was designed by a friend of many years who has done work for u. if you need the name of our designer, let me know; however, increasingly people are using sites like Guru and eLance to find creative people. We have had some success with – but it varies from time to time.

    I wish to show my thanks to the writer just for bailing me out of this type of scenario. Right after surfing around through the world-wide-web and coming across proposals that were not helpful, I believed my life was well over. Existing without the strategies to the issues you have sorted out through your good article content is a serious case, and those which might have in a negative way damaged my career if I hadn’t come across the website. Your own personal natural talent and kindness in playing with all the pieces was useful. I’m not sure what I would have done if I had not discovered such a solution like this. It’s possible to at this time look forward to my future. Thanks for your time so much for the impressive and results-oriented guide. I won’t hesitate to endorse your blog post to any individual who requires support on this issue.

    I would like to show some thanks to this writer just for bailing me out of this issue. As a result of scouting through the the net and getting thoughts which are not pleasant, I figured my life was gone. Existing devoid of the strategies to the issues you have sorted out through your entire short article is a crucial case, and those that might have badly affected my career if I had not encountered the website. Your own personal competence and kindness in playing with all the details was very useful. I’m not sure what I would have done if I had not come across such a thing like this. I can at this point look ahead to my future. Thank you so much for this expert and amazing guide. I will not be reluctant to propose your web site to anybody who should have counselling on this issue.

    There are actually plenty of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a nice level to convey up. I provide the thoughts above as general inspiration however clearly there are questions like the one you carry up where an important factor will likely be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged around things like that, however I’m sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game.

    An attention-grabbing dialogue is value comment. I feel that it is best to write extra on this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but typically individuals are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
