Deconstruction Services

Buffalo ReUse is a licensed, insured, and bonded demolition contractor in the City of Buffalo, specializing in deconstruction. We offer comprehensive deconstruction services and can completely remove residential structures, barns, and garages. For most projects, we bid jobs to cover our costs. Materials salvaged from the project are considered a donation to Buffalo ReUse and we can offer a tax-deduction for the value of donated items.

Most people are surprised when we tell them how much material Buffalo ReUSE saves when we deconstruct abandoned buildings.

For example, on our first house, we salvaged over six tons of reusable lumber, as well as doors, windows, foundation stone, bricks, and fixtures. Many materials which can’t be reused can often be recycled, such as metals, clean waste wood, and concrete. Unfortunately, we must still throw away some materials that can’t currently be reused or recycled. However, we are conducting research to determine the feasibility of recycling asphalt shingles and gypsum board.

If you have a need for deconstruction or would like to know more, please email us or give us a call at 716–885–4131.

LEED Credits for Green Developments

The US Green Building Council (www.USGBC.org) has developed a ranking system for classifying Green Building Projects. The classification system is called LEED, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. Buffalo ReUse can help LEED projects obtain credits for deconstruction, recycling and reuse.
