What’s the difference between deconstruction and demolition?

Simply put, it’s the chance for renewal. Our nonprofit operates a dedicated business specializing in everything from soft stripping kitchens to full-home deconstruction, diverting 1,500 tons of usable materials from landfills every year to be rediscovered and reused at our Chicagoland retail stores.

Additionally, deconstruction reduces the need for extraction of raw materials for new construction, conserves the energy and natural resources used in the manufacturing of new building materials, prevents environmental pollution, and increases the longevity of landfills.

Our workforce makes a difference, too.

Deconstruction is also a job creator. Instead of hiring a bulldozer, you’re employing our workforce training crew, providing hands-on experience and fostering job skills for people seeking new pathways to employment.

They treat your renovation with extreme care, knowing your no-longer-needed materials will be getting a second life at our nonprofit stores.

In addition to the large reduction in disposal costs, everything removed from your house and donated to Rebuilding Exchange, a qualified 501(c)3 charity, can be claimed on your taxes as a donation at fair market value.
