From reclaimed wood and antique mantels to salvaged doors, stained glass, wrought iron, and vintage hardware, we offer one of the region’s most expansive and accessible collections of reclaimed building materials. And every purchase supports a mission worth building on.
Architectural salvage refers to high-quality building components that have been carefully removed from old homes, churches, and commercial buildings prior to demolition or renovation. Rather than sending these valuable pieces to a landfill, Second Chance reclaims, restores, and resells them — preserving character and craftsmanship for a new generation of homeowners, renovators, and makers.
We specialize in salvaged materials from homes across Baltimore and the Mid-Atlantic, including:
Solid wood doors (interior and exterior)
Hand-carved fireplace mantels
Vintage clawfoot tubs and sinks
Stained and leaded glass windows
Ornate iron gates, fences, and railings
Decorative trim, molding, and hardwood flooring
Antique lighting fixtures and hardware
Whether you’re restoring a Federal Hill rowhome or adding personality to a modern space, our selection of vintage and reclaimed building materials offers beauty, history, and unbeatable value.
Every salvaged piece you buy helps keep quality materials out of local landfills. By choosing reclaimed over new, you’re reducing waste, lowering your carbon footprint, and contributing to a more sustainable construction cycle — all while enhancing your space with one-of-a-kind character.
When you shop at Second Chance, you’re supporting our mission to provide workforce development and job training for individuals facing employment barriers — including people returning from incarceration.
Your purchases fund hands-on training in deconstruction, carpentry, and retail — offering real opportunities for people to rebuild their lives, right here in Baltimore.
