What clients say about ReUse Action in Buffalo (NY)
A big time must go to spot if you're trying to find anything for an old house. I got 16 doors with all the fixings I needed to restore my 1880's home. Matched original trim for tons of various things I needed. Got a bunch of different lighting for multiple properties. Might take a trip or two to find what you're looking for but it's so worth it.
Everyone extolls the virtues of recycling and reclamation, but ReUse Action is one of the few companies that actually does it. They are experts at reutilizing donated materials and products such as furniture, plumbing, doors, and cabinets, as well as specialty demolition and light commercial contracting in the community. Michael runs a fantastic company and helps to put people's generosity to good use. We are proud to be their chosen provider of storage solutions for their projects.
Crazy! Crazy what they charge for old beat up items. It’s a shame because there’s a lot of good stuff there. Example: old beat up windows/shutters that are falling apart are going for upwards of $35 an piece. Old used hinges for $2/3. Want stained glass windows, not today, unless you want to pay $200 for an old 24x24 window. Items should be half the price they are asking. I don’t know who is buying these old items but the place is a scam. I don’t know how they sleep at night.
Fantastic experience working with the whole staff. I located my item on Marketplace - a walnut and maple handcrafted dining table. Kelly offered prompt responses and directed me to ReUse, even indicating that she would contact me if the item sold before I could make it to Buffalo (I'm in Syracuse). The place was packed with incredible housing materials at very competitive prices - the best I've seen in upstate NY. I can't wait for my next trip.
Cornucopia of used building materials, furniture, and knick knacks. Always hit or miss, though. Staff very nice and helpful. Accessibility sucks! Steep stairs to get in with no bannister. Three total floors.
The crew from ReUse Action helped us with a framing job in a home we're renovating, and were by far the most professional vendor we worked with in the renovation process. They did quality work in a timely fashion. They even reused materials they could salvage from the original house.
I've also purchased many things from the ReUse action store over the years, including an absolute gem of a mahogany door from an old boat that is now serving as a little "hobbit door" to our attic.
They are exceptionally honest and nice to work with. They really go beyond the call of duty to help. I highly recommend that anyone looking for either something for an older home or even something to give character to a new home, shop here.
This place has all kinds of architectural finds. You want tin ceiling tile, they have tons, fire place mantles, lighting bites and pieces. They have it. Where has this place been hiding!
If you have an old house that your fixing up, make sure you check this place out. Just wish some of the stuff had a little lower price. But most of the stuff are pretty good deals.
Everything you need for home projects but discounted and with character. Couldn't ask for a more helpful group of people who work hard to keep perfectly good items out of the landfills.
Michael was communicative, helpful, and friendly. We got a very good deal on Polyiso foam board and Michael spent a long time assisting us. The reason I can’t give 5 stars is that Michael loaded some incorrect product on our trailer and we didn’t realize until we were back home unloading, 2.5 hours away. When I brought it to Michaels attention and asked for a refund in the price difference between what I had paid and ordered vs what he actually gave us he refused citing a host of reasons that had legitimacy but ultimately I didn’t get what I paid for. So the take away is double check your order before you leave because once you pay there will be no rectification if there was an error on their part. All in all it was a good experience and at the end of the day we got a good product as far as we can tell. We’ll see once we actually install the insulation.
Great place to find 2nd hand and also new items when doing home renovations. I have purchased many brand new french doors for my home at a fraction of the price in big box stores. They work with u and u can truly find some great treasures here. I found a brand new pendanr light for 30 bucks original price was $260.. I also found several boxes of new tile in great condition. I paid 12 bucks for 4 boxes. U will not be disappointed u can find many treasures here.
Unique place!
Very helpful staff. Had a set of barn doors made. Picked out the wood from repurposed and style to be made with the help of the great staff. They took us around to show us types of rails. Made extra pieces to be sure they hung correctly for us.
Ready in 3 weeks, loaded in our truck for us.
The placed is loaded with items for repurposing!!! THANK YOU!
If you need some vintage brass hardware or even an old used door, check this place out! It's a must! This self serve place is truly unique and has just about everything from light fixtures and sinks to cabinetry and even heat radiators! The staff is wonderful, you'll find them moving quickly throughout the building which is pretty big. I'll be returning here often as the inventory is pretty much updated daily.
What a great selection of reclaimed materials, furniture, cabinets and hardware! Staff is very knowledgeable and helpful. We had plenty of help loading a couple of cabinets. These people really care about what they do!
The guys are ReUse were amazing! I picked up some great lumber for a few projects as well as an old pocket door. They were hands on, helping me sort through their inventory and even calculate measurements. Thanks for a great experience! I'll be back for sure.
