About DeConstruction Services

Edit This Entry

The ReBuilding Center offers DeConstruction Services, an affordable and sustainable alternative to conventional demolition. Working by hand, our skilled crews salvage for reuse up to 85% of a building’s major components.

What can be deconstructed?

We hand dismantle anything: from a kitchen, to a full house, to a 100-year old grain mill. We work on residential, commercial and industrial projects.

Tax deductible:

You will receive a tax-deductible receipt and documentation for all materials salvaged and donated.

Affordable:

Our rates are competitive with conventional demolition. The tax deduction can offset initial costs.

Healthy & safe:

Our industry-leading safety procedures, cleanup equipment and containment systems minimize potential hazards such as lead paint, asbestos and silica. We are licensed, bonded and insured in Oregon and Washington. (OR CCB#145799, WA #973B7)

Green building:

Deconstruction reduces waste, promotes reuse and recycling and minimizes the impact on our region’s natural resources. Deconstruction can help your project qualify for the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED Certification.

Job creation:

Deconstruction creates six to eight local jobs for every one created by standard demolition.

Preserve architectural heritage:

Salvaged materials are available to the public at The ReBuilding Center and live on in homes and other projects throughout our region.
