THE GOODS
TOP SHELF STRUCTURE REMOVAL
COOL OLD STUFF
STELLAR ATTITUDE
Our primary service: We specialize in the safe removal of old delapitated wood structures (barns, grain bins, fences etc.) that you wish to have removed. We will dismantle, remove debris and de-nail your site to leave it as it once was before they even made cars.
Our primary product; "Barn wood" refers to a variety of materials typically reclaimed from farm and ranch wooden structures. Each piece is unique in character and colour and, like a snow flake, there are no two the same. This is wood that tells a story & rust that bleeds its age. This stuff is weathered with just the right amount of touch from mother nature to make it cool
Its all about the attitude and nobody likes a bad one; hard work and a positive/can-do attitude make this world go around and thats what we bring to the table...nothing less. Respecting the land and respecting the people that own it leads to a respectful relationship. You won't be disappointed!







THE SCOOP
Relics, Salvage & Stuff was founded in 2018. Right now it's a one man show. I have always had a fascination in the look and character that old weathered wood displays along with the quality, craftsmanship and hardiness of old machinery and stuff. They just don't make things like they used to. Well I saw a need and an opportunity. Many farms and ranches have old structures that are well beyond repair, perhaps have become a safety hazard and the time has come to "put them out to pasture" hence the need. Preserving the time worn character of this wood and repurposing all things old was the opportunity that presented itself.
Build a barn wood feature wall, make a cool picture frame, use your crafty skills to make a neat wood craft or enhance a rooms decor. It's old stuff reborn!! "It's not rust...it's patina" is what the city folk say. I got what I got so if you don't see what you are looking for, touch base in a month or two and more amazing stuff will have rolled in. Salvage is a unique business; in almost every case there is only one look/one version of everything. Each piece is unique and once it's gone you wont find another one like it.
