HFHAA Restore Deconstruction Service is a free community service available to residents, businesses and contractors in the greater Alpena County area.

Reusable building materials will be removed from a remodeling project by our staff and volunteers. The donated items are then sold at ReStore, all proceeds support HFHAA.

Donated items are fully tax deductable.

Many types of building items can be removed from a remodel project and include:
Windows, Doors, Cabinets, Flooring, Lighting Fixtures, Plumbing Fixtures, Exterior Siding, Fences, Switches, Outlets, Showers, Tubs, Recyclable Goods and much more.

Most deconstruction projects will be completed within a few days, larger deconstruction projects may take more time and can be scheduled to coincide with your remodeling project.
