Nashville's Cheapest Building Materials

Nashville area Habitat for Humanity HomeStores are the answer.

Here's why my family always checks Habitat HomeStore before Home Depot:

Savaged building materials save money:
We needed a full-glass exterior door for our home. Home Depot could order the cheapest model for $175, plus tax. We found a similar salvaged door at Habitat. Price? $30.

Here we are, strapping our fabulous "new" door into the station wagon.

We've learned to bring a truck or wagon, tie-down straps, and padding whenever we shop for salvaged building materials.

Salvaged building materials means more quality for the money:
Habitat Homestore sells windows, cabinets, and doors salvaged from expensive homes in Belle Meade and Green Hills. We bought an Anderson double-casement window for the price of a cheap vinyl version.

I spotted this granite countertop and sink for only $35.

Even though it's chipped on one corner, it would still be amazing in a laundry room or outdoor potting area.

Go green by reusing items which are still good:
Salvaged building materials save energy, resources, and space in our landfills. Nashville Habitat Homestore sells good quality, leftover paints for $5 a gallon.

You never know what unusual items you'll spot at Habitat's Homestores, like these vintage roof corners and tiles.

Habitat Homestore uses its profits to build new homes for people in our community. Your building material donations AND purchases directly help local families.

Look at this charming cast-iron fire basket.
It reminds me of Restoration Hardware's fireplace accessories, only authentic--and 1/4 the price!
