lighting, wrought iron
 + 0 moreI'd rather sum up than give details. These are workers and volunteers in a community supported salvage yard. Many of the items are donated. If you can rehab furniture, wrought iron gates, do your own repairs and installations, this is a wonderful source of quality material. Somebody is always there to help you load a cart or answer a question. The only drawback is the warehouse itself, they need to crowdsource money for an HVAC system.
Description of Work: offer help in choosing the right tools for wire work, yard, etc.

marble & granite
 + -1 moreIt is a nice place to get items for your home. You can find things here that you wouldnt find at a regular hardware store. It is a treasure cove of antique and vintage knick knacks. They are a lot of fun.
Description of Work: We bought a whole piece of granite from them for our kitchen.

 + -1 moreLast visit was truckload of donations and they have this system down. Give you a receipt with everything itemized and signed; up to donor to place values. Staff always helpful in unloading and friendly to boot!
Description of Work: We use mostly to donate construction/home excess or materials in good condition. We do also go there looking specifically for something for our home or rental properties. Have found some great bargains and other times do not have what we are looking for, but have never left empty-handed because of price. It's a great service, tons of stuff, but often not what we need.

Description of Work: Community Forklift is not a service provider, but a store that sells used construction materials and housewares. It's a nonprofit that recycles stuff from home demolitions, rehabs, etc., that might otherwise go in a landfill. We've found tile, doors, marble, etc that we've used for various projects. Given the nature of the business, they may or may not have what you're looking for on any given visit. But you might also find a gem. And you should have a good time just poking around.

Description of Work: I purchased a dish washer and a clothes dryer from them. I also purchased light fixtures and a kitchen sink. Basically, they were my primary resource during my home's remodel.

 + 11 moreGreat warehouse to located salvage, antique, hard to find, recycled materials. They do not perform services. This is a place you go to look for a replacement to that old light fixture, or a old countertop you want to refinish yourself, or perhaps you are an artist and need some inspiration. They have great DIY classes as well.
Description of Work: Salvaged material haven.

countertops
 + -1 moreThis store is perfect for those who do their stuff on their own and does not want anything new. It is a wonderful place and is very friendly. There is no high pressure and are good people. The atmosphere in the place is very friendly. You can just walk around and do what you want to do. We enjoyed dealing with them. It was a very educational experience.
Description of Work: We used Community Forklift to buy countertops from them. It is a nonprofit company that sells construction stuff. IT is a big warehouse area around here. They have used kitchen cabinets and counters. They also have a lot of antique and architectural materials. They have gates and fence section too. They have chandeliers and panel doors.
