Reclaimed Home is going back to its roots! After moving back to Brooklyn, where space is an issue, we stopped collecting larger salvaged items for reuse. Well, it’s time to expand again.
Starting a tiny home based business was a breeze. Starting a small business with a team is a bit more challenging. But you know what? It’s important that we do this now for a variety of reasons.
Saving building materials from the landfills. Mother Earth is screaming for help. Tons of demolition rubbish goes into dumpsters every day.
Presenting restoration options for folks of all income levels. We’re going through some rough economic times. Why shouldn’t everyone have the same access to beautiful architectural details and furnishings for their dwellings?
Preserve our history! Old homes are being torn down to make way for new construction. Historic details are discarded of during renovations. The skilled craftspeople who created these materials are long gone. Let’s give their work a second life.
Here’s what you can do to help us achieve our goals. If it can be recycled, please don’t throw it out! We’ll take reusable materials off your hands. If you’re doing a renovation or know of someone who is, contact us before you allow your contractor to destroy house parts and throw them in the dumpster. We’ll carefully remove the items for you so someone else can make use of them.
It will save you demolition fees. It will save you disposal rates. Most importantly, it will save our planet from overflowing landfills.

Exciting prospect! Look forward to hearing more about it. Do you know Re-Store in Philadelphia? http://www.re-store-online.com/ Something to emulate. I always try to stop by there when i’m in Philly. Brooklyn needs something similar!
Hey Cara! Never been to the Philly Re-Store. There was one in Newburgh that I went to all the time.
There is a Build it Green in Queens and I hear they are opening a space in Gowanus. Can’t compete with that because we won’t be non-profit, but we’ll hopefully fill a niche for somewhere in between. We hope to offer consultation and DIY classes as well.
Good luck, I hope you do well!
Thanks, Bill!
