New lumber prices have skyrocketed in recent years. By choosing reclaimed materials, you can drastically cut your project costs while still getting sturdy, reliable products. And our pricing beats hardware store discounts every time.
Every piece of wood and tile we resell is one less item clogging up Baltimore’s landfills. Using reclaimed lumber reduces demand for new logging, conserves natural resources, and helps create a circular construction economy. It’s the environmentally responsible choice.
Looking for old-growth lumber? Want to match the flooring in your 1920s rowhouse? Need wood with character for a furniture build? Our inventory often includes hard-to-find or discontinued materials that can’t be sourced new — perfect for restoring, customizing, or upcycling.
