In Georgia and South Carolina, older structures can contain strong regional hardwoods like hickory, maple, oak, heart pine and other quality lumber.
That strength, combined with the character that comes from decades of use, can make reclaimed wood an incredible resource for a new project.
When an older wood structure needs to come down, some of those materials can be planed and re-used to create:
• Exposed beams in a new cabin
• Interior walls and accent walls
• Flooring
• Mantels and stair components
• Shelving and cabinetry
• Barn doors
• Tables and furniture
• Porch or covered outdoor features
• Architectural details
• Decorative timber framing
And for someone building a cabin-style home or structure in Aiken, reclaimed lumber offers something new lumber can't manufacture:
Character.
That's sustainability in a much more practical sense.
If you're planning a demolition in the Aiken area and believe the structure contains quality lumber worth saving, we will be glad to discuss this before the equipment arrives.
A professional demolition and salvage approach can help identify materials that may have value beyond the original structure and get them to the appropriate reuse, salvage, or recycling outlet.
