What clients say about Salvagewrights Ltd. in Orange (VA)
If you are in need of antique building materials, there's a very good chance that Salvagewrights has it. From doors, to logs, to flooring, to fixtures, the selection is varied and extensive. We have done business with the owner, Craig Jacobs, for more than 30 years. During that time, we have purchased bricks, glass, logs, lightning rods, door knobs and other assorted antique building materials. In addition, Craig actually assisted in the construction of our house (an 1850-vintage log cabin attached to a 1790-vintage Virginia farmhouse). He has also been engaged in historic restoration for many years so has deep knowledge and understanding of the challenges and needs of old buildings. On top of it all, Craig is an enormously nice guy. Salvagewrights Ltd. is a great local business.
Lovely place to visit and find one-of-a-kind items, from logs, salvaged items to French bras faucets. Craig and Becky the owners are very knowledgeable and helpful. A fun place to visit on a Saturday.
Craig and Dean are super friendly and very helpful to find just what we need. When it comes to old architectural hardware, doors and old home items, this is the place to go BUT they are only open on Saturdays. This is our go to for all of our old house architectural needs.
I needed antique barn wood to finish my 1800s cabin interior loft; this was the place to go for what I required. Also doors, fixtures, and more. The staff was very helpful.
Great little shop. All sorts of reclaimed material from very old homes. Very friendly. Great stuff. They even make pieces for you. Well worth checking out on Saturdays.
My wife and I are very fond of this place (we hesitate to call it a store). Salvagewrights is a celebration of the fact that in ages past, things were made more carefully and beautifully than they are today and are worthy of second lives (and third, fourth, and fifth lives!). We can purchase items from lumber to sinks to windows to hinges (and on and on) for construction and renovation projects on our farm, and often at prices that beat the Lowe's/Walmart, made-in-China, breaks-after-six-months manure. If you want them to rebuild your 18th-century barn, they'll do that too. As a bonus, Craig and his family are helpful, polite, and friendly in that special Virginia way.
