The Job: Florence Pioneer Museum Basement Kitchen

The Pioneer Museum in Florence, Colorado, approached us with a unique opportunity to assist in the removal of old kitchen cabinets and a sink from their basement. These cabinets, which had served their purpose long ago, were no longer in use and needed to be removed to make way for updates. As a company dedicated to salvaging and preserving history, we were thrilled to help ensure these materials didn’t end up in a landfill.

The removal process took a couple of hours, and while we managed to salvage about half of the cabinets intact, the rest had to be carefully disassembled into boards. This allowed us to preserve as much of the original material as possible, ensuring it could be repurposed for future projects. Although some pieces couldn’t remain whole, they are still valuable as reclaimed wood, ready to be transformed into something new while retaining their historic charm.

We take pride in being part of efforts like this, where we can contribute to preserving local history and giving old materials a second life. Whether it’s architectural elements or furniture, every piece we salvage carries a story, and we’re committed to ensuring those stories continue to live on in new and meaningful ways.

We were thrilled to be contacted about this unique salvage opportunity in Canon City. The property owner was in the process of a full remodel and reached out to us with a commitment to sustainability and preserving usable materials. By working with us, they ensured that valuable pieces from their property were saved and given a second life instead of being discarded.

The garage proved to be a treasure trove of salvageable items. We carefully removed and saved several unique features, including vintage cabinets with white paint that still retained their charm.

The collaboration didn’t end there. After seeing the care and effort we put into salvaging materials, the homeowner later offered us the doors and windows that had been removed from the main house. Each of these items is now part of our growing inventory, ready to be repurposed or incorporated into restoration and remodeling projects for others in the community.

This particular structure had several layers of history to uncover, including beautiful barn wood hidden beneath some of the metal siding, sturdy structural beams, and a variety of other unique finds.
