What clients say about Rebuilding Exchange Evanston in Evanston (IL)
It's sad that evrytime we bidit this store, all the good items are sold, or holding for somebody to pick-up. I'm thinking to go to the store in Chicago.
Such a community gem. I’ve loved the different workshops I’ve attended. I appreciate being able to buy materials from the warehouse - which provides affordable materials and keeps them out of the landfills. Their job force training has been life changing for my son and others.
This place is just awesome. Tons of materials with lots of character. We also had a blast at their Halloween kid building session. The instructors were great about providing ideas and letting kids explore on their own. An amazing place.
I have bought so many beautiful things here! Great resource for unique building materials! Chandeliers, sconces, moldings,
towel bars and rings are some of the things I have bought. The staff are soooo nice!!! Love this place!
If you need anything traditional or modern but are unable to find it anywhere else, come and shop their warehouse. You never know what you will find. I bought a 25 thousand dollar kitchen from them for under 3 thousand, Delivery included.
The people here will help you find what you need. There is so much here and all in pretty good shape. Last night, the guy gave us suggestions for how to cover a radiator my client didnt want to let show. Nice people here. People care about the environment here.
I went here to see if they had a reclaimed wood beam for me to use as a fireplace mantle at my house. I found a 10 ft beam 5x8" and it was the perfect piece and it was $30. Unbelievable value and variety. There is soo much to see there and unique reclaimed items to discover.
We have been rehabbing a 93 year old house and have bought a few things here. It's hit or miss but fun to go treasure hunting. I love digging through dirty old antique shops and this is right up my alley. If you get lucky they often have whole kitchens of cabinets and gently used appliances from North Shore tear downs. Follow their Facebook page or email for deals.
I was like a kid in a candy shop. I love old things, I love reusing old things, I love refinishing old things, and this place feeds all my loves. Like a treasure trove of memories.
If you've looked everywhere for a replacement item in your home that has been just too old or just impossible to come up with a comparable match or just looking for a good used item, you need to visit this place. I purchased 3 radiator covers that I couldn't find anywhere. Friendly, helpful staff. Great selection of slightly used everything.
My flooring contractor suggested me to go over there to find flooring planks that could match the best my really old floors for repairs.
He was right and I was able to get flooring pieces that looked almost exactly the same like my old vintage floors.
