Relics Architectural Salvage in
Union Bridge (MD)

Doug and Eric completed provided and completed a project using reclaimed beams and corner braces in architecturally correct manner that required precision that even most accomplished carpenters would not have. We love the materials they have available and their ability to build almost anything using reclaimed materials.

My husband and I have used Relics to supply install and make repairs to our house and barn.Their workmanship and knowledge of historic home renovations is outstanding. It is hard to find craftsmen who really care about their work. We highly recommend them.P.S. Visit their shop in Linwood /New Windsor for home furnishings and great gift ideas

Great place for the older home and those looking to replace items lost years ago. Doug was very helpful and nice.

Outstanding products and services! Highly recommended! Relics carefully helped select and prepare reclaimed wood beams for our basement project. The results after installation are stunning. Thanks a million Relics! We’ll be back for a few more projects soon!

We purchased this lovely cornice from Relics with the vision of our mantle in our new home. We chose to let it show its age and beauty. We love the contrast against the new tile. It is becoming a conversation piece. Highly recommend Relics. You never know what gem you will take home. Linda and Brad.

Relics Architectural Salvage is truly a gem. Had I known we are practically neighbors, I would have been a customer of theirs since they opened their door 2 years ago. My husband and I went recently went to browse and get some ideas for a new build. We like somewhat rustic, primitive and unique. Relics has it all! From cornices to corbels, mantels, radiators, oh so many doors, hardware, windows and so much more. We were greeted warmly by Kelly, one of the owners. Kelly introduced herself and was genuinely interested in us. She shared the history of the building and the business with passion. She suggested we take our time while browsing. At the end of our "first" walk through, we found exactly what we wanted. I believe it is called an entablature or simply a cornice that at one time was over an exterior door. We plan on repurposing it as a mantle. We went back a week later to purchase it and at that time, met Doug, Kelly's husband. Doug shared where the piece was salvaged, what the purpose was and where it was on the building. He even put it in the car for us! If you are looking for something unique, this family owned business has it.

Very knowledgeable. Very helpful. Some really cool stuff. I got some good ideas on stuff I can build as well.

Fun place to explore. You never know what you might find!

I emailed relics to ask if they had a specific piece I was looking for- not only did they have them but they held them for me and facilitated my family coming to pick them up. I could not be more grateful to the staff who were so kind and communicative. And the pieces are stunning! Highly recommend.

What a fantastic find! This business has a beautiful selection of local salvaged treasures to add the perfect touch—along with some great history and provenance—to your home or business. We purchased an American chestnut barn beam, which was customized to our specifications while we waited. The owners were both kind, gracious and knowledgeable about their inventory. They patiently let us peruse the large variety of potential fireplace mantels, until we found the perfect piece for our project. Thank you both very much! It’s so exciting to add an authentic piece of barn architecture to our home. We will definitely return!

I went to Relics looking for the perfect wood for our kitchen renovation. I found amazing reclaimed barnwood that we used to cover a header between the kitchen and dining room. It completed the project perfectly. They have an amazing selection of reclaimed wood, windows and doors, and other items. I couldn’t be more happy with the wood and the service we got from Relics.

If you love old salvaged doors, mantles, & such, this is the place to go! Relics had the exact old door that I envisioned for our pantry & happened to be on sale which was an added bonus! The staff was very knowledgeable & helpful! Will definitely shop there again!

A wonderful place for anyone who owns a old house or just loves raw antiquities. Very friendly staff who very engaging and helpful (thanks again Kelly!). And if you're lucky you might get to talk with Richard about his latest project.

Great place. We got there right at closing and the owners were gracious to let us in. Definitely worth the trip. Unusual pieces.

Working with Relics was a great experience. I had never heard of them until I accidentally found them on the web. I was looking for some white oak barn wood for a project. They didn't have exactly what I needed when I stopped by their shop but they put in the extra effort to locate an old barn beam and cut it into the dimensional wood I needed. Perfect!

I bought reclaimed barn wood to turn into a bookshelf and I absolutely love the wood! The service at Relics is top notch and the prices are fantastic!

We were looking for a rustic beam to use as a mantle and found exactly what we wanted. Doug took us on a personal tour of his inventory and was a big help in selecting just the right beam. We also got a personal tour of the old mill they are renovating for their workshop. Great personal service and definitely worth the drive out.

An amazing small business that is easy to work with and creates gorgeous reclaimed pieces. Our mantle is exactly how we envisioned.

I came upon Relics Architectural Salvage last spring on a treasure hunt for something old and reclaimed. I was in for a real treat! The staff went out of their way to help me dig (literally!) through piles of reclaimed lumber to find the perfect wood for a table top. They were patient and knowledgeable. The owner can tell you from where each relic was salvaged in the local communities of Carroll and Frederick counties. Kelly makes you feel like her neighbor of many years. We made a one-of-a-kind table top from Relic granary boards. We are looking forward to our next project with Relic...reclaimed lumber with which to make a box beam to cover a metal support beam in our family room. Thank you Relics for your warm customer service and beautiful architectural treasures!

I was given a cedar growth chart as a gift for my baby shower back in January. I received many compliments about the beauty and craftsmanship of the piece from my friends at the party. My sister is expecting her second child and I thought it would be a nice gift for her as well. When my mom saw that I bought one for my sister, she wanted one for the grandkids at her house! Although I also chose cedar wood for my sister's and my mom's growth chart, (they are available in other types of wood too!) each one is unique and special-none are exactly the same. Work done by Relics Architectural Salvage is original and of high quality. I highly recommend their work.

Well worth the trip! Great source of reclaimed treasures from a family business providing excellent customer service. They had everything I was looking for and more! One visit only scratched the surface of their inventory.

I MET DOUG AND HIS WIFE AT SHOW IN WESTMINSTER. I WAS VERY HAPPY TO FIND SOMEONE NEAR WHERE I LIVED WERE I COULD FIND WOOD THAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR. I BOUGHT TWO PIECES OF RECLAMED WOOD. I WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH MY PURCHASE. I WOULD RECOMMEND WOODWORKERS TO STOP BY THERE SHOP TO SEE THERE MANY TYPES OF RECLAIMED WOOD. JOE SCHUMACHER

It was so fun to meet these neighbors and discover this gorgeous mahogany mantel in their delightful shop. It is the perfect centerpiece for our redecorated family room. All of the Blacksten family are a pleasure to meet and work with, and we look forward to finding more treasures there in the future!

Found them at the Home Show in Westminister today. Very friendly and have some unique stuff. Can't wait to see what else they have.

The owners are fantastic! The inventory you simply won't find anywhere else! They had no problem taking their time showing us around and explaining everything they have to offer. They were very attentive to what we were looking for and they have an incredible selection to chose from on and off site!

It's great to finally have an Architectural Salvage business that is local. The current showroom has been nicely finished and matches the original character of the Mill and the stock items they have on display. It has been fun to watch the store come together on Facebook and I will be looking forward to their continued growth in the coming years. There was a good mix of new and reclaimed lumber options as well as a growing inventory of fixtures and hardware. I enjoyed talking with Doug and his family about the process they have gone through over the previous year to get the showroom completed.

This place is awesome! They are in the works of opening a store front which is going to be beautiful. Doug was very knowledgeable and informative. His Customer service was above and beyond. If your looking for something particular they probably have it or can get it. When I'm back in the area it will be a "must go" location!!!
