The Deconstruction team gently removes cabinets, countertops, appliances and building materials prior to your renovation or demolition project. Our team will come in and uninstall and remove usable materials for donation to the ReStores, leaving a blank canvas for your project.

A Deconstruction is a free service offered by Cape Fear Habitat ReStore. All items removed during the Decon are donated to the Habitat ReStores. While this is a free service, donations are welcome to help offset the costs to Cape Fear Habitat.

You can make a financial gift to help offset the cost of the Deconstruction and amplify your impact.

Items must in decent, usable condition to qualify for a deconstruction. We primarily work with kitchen remodels or whole house deconstructions, but are happy to conduct an evaluation for your project. Qualifying items include cabinets, appliances, countertops, vanities, sinks, lighting fixtures, doors, and more. If time and space allow, we may also be able to accept furniture during the decon project.

All donated items are taken to the Habitat ReStores, where they are resold at discounted rates. This helps to reduce the cost of home repair and maintenance for the local community and giving your items a second life.

Deconstruction is a free service offered to home- and business-owners to offset the cost of your next project. Instead of paying a third party to strip these items before your project begins, our team will uninstall the items, remove them from the property, and take them to the Habitat ReStores as a donation. Not only is this a free service that saves you the cost of typical removal, but the donation items are also tax deductible.

This service also diverts usable items from the landfill, giving a second life to your items while providing affordable access to home repair materials to the community.

And of course, we can’t forget that all sales from the donation items directly support Cape Fear Habitat’s mission to build homes, community and hope!

The first thing you need to do is reach out to us to schedule your consultation with our Deconstruction Coordinator. We will conduct a site visit to determine if we are able to provide a Decon for your project.

After the initial consultation, we will schedule a day for our team to come out and complete the Decon.
