Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit Your premier provider of salvaged building materials, deconstruction services and up-cycled products. ASW Detroit is a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation.

Architectural Salvage Warehouse of Detroit (ASW Detroit) is the premier provider of deconstruction services and salvaged building materials in SE Michigan, and a national building materials reuse resource. Founded in 2003 with a primary goal of conserving and preserving historic and irreplaceable historical architectural artifacts by salvaging and reusing building materials through deconstruction, our mission and vision has since expanded to include a triple bottom line approach with a three pronged focus:

• Transform waste from environmental liability to economic asset through deconstruction and building materials reuse.

• Improve neighborhoods and communities through blight elimination and improved housing stock by providing low cost building materials to Detroit residents while empowering customers through training and partnership.

• Develop the workforce and economic infrastructure needed for a thriving deconstruction and building materials reuse industry through career training, contractor training, local employment, and support of local entrepreneurs and business in the deconstruction and building materials reuse market.

🚨 NEW GOODIES AT THE WAREHOUSE 🚨

We’ve got a fresh batch of goodies in, and there’s some FUN stuff this time 👀

🪵 Cabinet-making materials: We received a bunch of sheet goods from GLW Custom Craftsmanship, a local Detroit cabinet company. If you’ve got a project in mind, come take a look!

🌈 Science cabinets with SO much character: Tons of lower cabinets, one upper, and two sink basins salvaged from a Corktown lab undergoing renovations. These came from the former DIFT Co. lab, now Thermo Fisher, and the COLORS?! We’re obsessed. Such a fun opportunity to give some seriously cool cabinets a second life.

✨ Plus, lots of other fun goodies have made their way onto the warehouse floor! (It’s bread szn, amirite?)

You never know what you’ll find here, so come dig around and see what speaks to you. 😉

♻️ Good stuff deserves a second life.

Old oak, new life. 👏🌳

This custom entertainment system proves that reclaimed materials can make a pretty great comeback. What was once old oak is now a one-of-a-kind piece built to fit the space, the style, and the people who use it.

Have a vision for a piece of your own? We’re open to custom work! Whether you have a specific project in mind or just need help bringing an idea to life, reach out and let’s talk.

Good materials deserve a second act. ♻️

Hey! Look at this! 👀

Got a working appliance, an old door, or some windows you no longer need? Welp, we know a few Detroiters who might!

Through our Community Uplift Program, we help get salvaged materials and home essentials into the hands of Detroit residents who need them most. And right now, large working appliances, doors, and windows are some of our most requested items.

Your donations do more than clear out your garage or make room for your next project. They help our neighbors make their houses feel like home, support our local community, and keep perfectly useful materials in circulation instead of sending them to a landfill. ♻️🫶

So before you toss it, remember: what you no longer need could be exactly what another Detroiter is looking for.

Have something to donate? Bring it to ASWD and help us keep the good stuff doing good.

💚 UPLIFT — YOUR DONATIONS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Our Uplift program helps get donated building materials and household goods into the hands of Detroit residents and community organizations who need them.

During the third quarter, we helped 13 Detroit households and 55 individuals, providing more than $4,500 worth of goods — including refrigerators, ranges, windows, and doors.

We also continued our partnership with After the Storm, donating 40 12-foot 4x4s to support their work in the community.

Right now, large appliances, windows, and exterior/security doors are some of our most requested items — and they’re also some of the hardest things for us to keep in stock, especially when customers need specific sizes.

If you have materials sitting around that you no longer need, consider donating them to ASWD. What’s taking up space in your garage, basement, or job site could be exactly what someone in Detroit needs.

Thanks for helping us keep good materials in use and supporting our community in the process. 🫶

👀 A little piece of Hazel Park history is sitting at ASWD.

We got a load of boards salvaged from the Hazel Park Race Track — including resawn 2x6s that are now 1x6s and would be perfect for shiplap, wall treatments, ceilings, furniture projects, and whatever else your DIY brain comes up with.

And if you need the full 2x6 situation… we’ve still got loads of those, too.

Come dig through the lumber and see what you can find. ♻️🪵

Albert Kahn was a legendary American architect known as the “architect of Detroit” who designed nearly 900 buildings in the city, pioneering modern industrial architecture and iconic city landmarks — and we got some materials from one of his masterpieces on 2nd Ave.

Come check out these grates? fences? window covers? Do whatever you want with them! But heads up, although melissa makes them look light… they weigh a ton. 💪🏽

And some gorgeous wood and glass doors (don’t worry, they’re just a tad dusty) 😮‍💨🚪

Come by, you could own a piece of Detroit history!
