I have been a customer of Lifecycle for a couple of years now. It used to be a great place to go to find unique recycled materials for building projects. Often, a new fixture or appliance would show up and their prices were always pretty good. Not only that, but the staff was willing to cut you a deal if you bought a bunch of stuff. Something changed, however. Now their prices are sometimes higher than Home Depot. They advertise 50-80% off, but lately I have not found that to be true. And though it is still a bargain, the problem is that all of the best items get immediately put on hold for their favorite customers. What you end up with is a huge warehouse full of items you cant purchase because someone else might want them. And these arent sold items, they are just "oh hold" in case one of their customers might like it. LBC has changed a lot and most of the people that I know who have shopped there are just as disheartened by their new business model as I am.

I recently visited LBC after I saw them on a television program. The place is amazing! I was able to purchase all the tile for my house, pavers to do a patio, and all of my kitchen cabinets at a very, very reasonable price. I recommended it to a friend and they came back two days in a row and brought another friend with them. The staff is excellent. They are willing to help and even give you ideas on projects. I cannot recommend this place enough! If you are trying to fix up a house and you do not have a lot of money to spend, this is the place to go.

Its like a thrift shop but for building supplies. Vast space with countless items from various professional building projects. With a little creativity and know-how this is a DIYrs dream. Also you can feel good about the fact that a portion of the purchases goes to charity. Recommend going mid week to avoid the weekend crowd (also because they are closed Mondays.)

I feel like Im in a treasure hunt in this place. Items range from the random to the totally useful to the super cool but totally useless. This would be a great place for someone artsy who recycles things into nicer things. For the average home owner you may not find something but youll have an adventure looking!

Love this store! It is VERY organized for this type of salvage store. There is LOTS of inventory and walking through gives rise to a million project ideas. The staff is friendly, outgoing and helpful. Always a fun experiencce to visit here. Lots of interesting well priced house parts.

This place is an absolute GEM for the city. Its like a playground for artists or anyone wanting to renovate their home without draining all of their savings. Ive been able to build so much furniture from the incredible inventory they have on hand. I could not recommend this place enough.

Great place for salvaged building materials, lots of good projects for home renovations, recycled and upcycled cabinets, sinks, tubs, furniture, carpet, flooring, mantels, doors, windows, appliances, and much more! Nonprofit keeps material out of landfills.

Love this place! They have tons of salvaged building materials for home-improvement projects and art projects. Lifecycle is a nonprofit organization that helps the community as well as other nonprofits. Support them!

The Lifecycle Building Center is truly an amazing place for both the enormous capacity of salvaged, reclaimed building supplies (and a lot more) and the overall great concept. Definitely worth checking out!

Go visit! This place is a recycling store for building supplies. You can buy perfect condition Used stoves, or a vintage chandelier! If reclaimed hardware is your thing, this is your place.

Andrea Carter

Its a maze, but this place has every building material ever made. Love the antique fireplace mantels and other architectural elements that can really add character to a house.

Steven Bell

Lots of random building materials if you dont mind hunting amongst the huge selection of items. Especially great for finding period pieces items for aging homes and DIYers.

Elizabeth Arnold Hood

My friend and I were doing a service work remodel project and picked up everything on our list here under our budget. I will def shop here as much as possible.

Great prices and HUGE selection. Reclaimed wood, old factory pieces, old doors... Great way to add some character to your project at a cheap price.

This place is awesome! It should be your first stop on any renovation. Also great to keep in mind to get rid of your junk.

Steven Lindsay

Reclaimed building materials, some new, some antique or period. Opens late, closes early. One step up from a junkyard.

Great place to give back to your community. And lots of furniture, hardware and equipment to recycle. Retro.
