CONSTRUCTION JUNCTION OFFERING FREE DECONSTRUCTION SERVICE
Construction Junction (CJ) has a licensed and insured Deconstruction Department that can save you money. Feed your inner ”need to be green” on your next residential or commercial renovation. Just purchased a “new-to-you” home or commercial property? Then take advantage of CJ’s FREE deconstruction service to pull out useable building materials before you move in or start a major renovation. CJ will gladly do a walk-through and coordinate with you to remove usable items from your unoccupied property. Many of their deconstruction services are free of charge, and they make it easy for you from planning to completion.
Their experienced, fully-insured deconstruction staff will come out to remove salvageable materials such as lumber, trim, fixtures, doors, windows, cabinets – anything that can be reused instead of going to a landfill. You’ll save on disposal costs, it’s better for our environment, and it provides job training opportunities for our partnerships with Goodwill and the Trade Institute of Pittsburgh. Your donation is fully tax deductible, and they’ll give you a receipt for the items you donate.
