Overview
ReHouse Architectural Salvage is a 21,000-square-foot architectural salvage retailer located at 469 W Ridge Rd in Rochester, NY. Founded by Sally Kamprath, the business has operated for more than two decades with a mission centered on diverting reusable building materials from landfills. ReHouse salvages architectural elements from properties across upstate New York that are slated for demolition or major renovation, then cleans and organizes them for resale. Over its history, the business has employed more than 150 people and is a member of the Center of the Ridge Business Association.
What They Offer
The store carries a broad inventory of reclaimed building materials spanning antique to modern styles, including:
- Doors and windows
- Plumbing fixtures and lighting fixtures
- Flooring and trim
- Cabinets and hardware
- Architectural antiques and decorative elements
ReHouse sources its stock directly through its own salvage operations, meaning much of what appears on the sales floor is one-of-a-kind. Items range from basic functional building components to higher-end period pieces suited to historic restoration projects. The store also sells select items through online marketplaces for customers outside the Rochester area.
