Salvage Options Report

The following information answers many of the questions property owners and contractors have about our salvage and deconstruction services. In order to take the fullest advantage of a very significant income tax deduction, we urge you to consider Option #1, deconstruction. It has saved clients considerable amounts of money and keeps tons of usable material from landfills.

The knights of recycling/repurposing. I don't know when Paul took holy orders or answered the call of the Salvage gods but he did and is walking in the carbon footprints of angels. He has saved(!) so much ostentatious excess of buildings past from landfills. Appliances, wood, building products of all kinds, plants, you name it given a new lease on life. Designed obsolescence indeed. Be a subversive: refinish that old claw foot bathtub turn that ugly car port into a work of art! Text Paul and see what he's got to fulfill your renovated dreams.

I've been buying from Paul/Driftwood Salvage/Whole House Building for my garden projects for many years. Using recycled lumber, bricks and other demolition objects are good value and good citizenry.

I have dealt twice with Paul, both times the transactions have been positive. I'm big on recycling materials so Paul's business model of salvaging materials is very meaningful to me, in this throw away world that many of us live in. I find that most older materials are of better quality and have more character than newer materials. I monitor his site when I'm doing projects at my house for needed materials. I would recommend dealing with Paul their are many benefits with his business structure and prices competitive and sometimes super good deals.

I've purchased some great things from Paul at Whole House Building Supply. I love using recycled building supplies rather than dumping usable stuff in our landfill. Thank you Paul! You're doing a great thing for our Earth.
