The Job: Salvaging an Old Garage with Workshop – A Treasure Trove of Reclaimed Materials
We were contacted by a client looking to have an old metal-sided and roofed garage with an attached workshop removed from their property. As salvage experts, we saw this as a fantastic opportunity to preserve valuable materials while clearing the space for the property owner. 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.
The project wasn’t without its challenges. With snow, ice, and a seemingly endless supply of nails to contend with, the job required multiple trips to complete safely and efficiently. Despite the hurdles, our team carefully dismantled the structure piece by piece, ensuring that as much as possible was preserved for reuse.
The rewards from this project were well worth the effort. We salvaged two types of corrugated metal, durable roofing metal, and stunning barn wood with plenty of character. The large structural beams were another standout find, perfect for use in future construction, design projects, or restoration efforts. These materials, rich in history and quality, will now have a second life instead of ending up in a landfill.
