We sell all kinds of reclaimed building materials, including foam insulation board – factory seconds, used/reclaimed and surplus. We also sell lots of reclaimed wood of all types – barn wood, beams, joists, flooring and siding, as well as odds and ends of reclaimed wood from trim, flooring and so on. We’re the premier reuse store in Buffalo, serving Western New York and nearby areas.
