Reclaimed Home LLC is not a licensed contracting service, nor are we interior designers. We offer our insured crafts(wo)manship on niche projects as shown on the service page. We are happy to work with homeowners directly or as a subcontractor to architects, GCs and designers on various projects that require specialized aesthetic skills or salvage consultation.
The full house renovations shown here were mainly DIY projects completed by Phyllis and Hubby as the homeowners with the help of skilled professionals, including artist Emilia (above with sledgehammer). We are sharing these with you so you can get a feel for our capabilities, experience and style, however if the renovation requires permits and licensing, Reclaimed Home LLC would be happy to join as a sub-contractor or consultant only.
If you want to know which materials can be reused in your renovation, give us a shout! You’d be surprised by how much you can save on dumpster fees.

I want to find a home for our original front door and glass side panels from our 1904 home here in Hasting on Hudson, just north of NYC. I do not want to just put them in a landfill. I don’t need to sell them; they’re free – some one just needs to pick them up. The door and side windows were removed today, so it’s ready whenever you are. I know things are a bit different due to Covid, but I would really love to give this a second life. Please let me know if you know of a place to donate this!
Thanks so much
There used to be a few Habitat for Humanities in Westchester, but not sure if they’re still around. That’s the first place I’d try, even if the closest one is in NJ. Also, you can try posting it on the Brownstoner forum. Granted, it’s mostly Brooklyn, but people will travel for the right door. I need a front door for my own place, but unfortunately, it has to be very specific as I’m in a landmark district. Lastly, you can post it on Craigslist or hashtag it on Instagram and you may get a taker. If you want to post a picture to the Reclaimed Home Facebook page, I can send that to my Insta account too. This blog is no longer active, so posting here isn’t going to do much. Good luck!
Hi, have you started to get up and running again in the midst of the current pandemic? At the very least, with consultation services? What is the best way to contact you?
By the way, Teresa Snider-Stein, do you still have those side panels and door? Can you send pictures if so?
Thanks!
Hey Wendy,
We actually closed the shop a few years ago and I’ve been doing my own investment renovations as well as helping people, but not acting as a contractor. I might be up for a consultation. You can hit me up at phyllisATreclaimedhomeDOTcom
Emilia currently has free time to help with the artsy side of restoration/renovation. She does various faux painting and mixed media techniques to hide damage and make interiors more interesting. I can reach out to her for you if you’re interested in that.
Thanks!
