Lumber By the Foot
The Lovett Salvage Shop
Located in our NW Portland headquarters, the Lovett Salvage Shop is filled to the rafters with historic wood material salvaged from our deconstruction projects. The lumber is sorted, graded, de-nailed, stacked by our team, and ready for purchase. There is nothing we love more than being part of the reuse community and seeing this gorgeous lumber continue to be a part of Portland’s built environment.
OUR SPACE
Visit the Lovett Salvage Shop and you’ll notice the sales floor houses both our reclaimed lumber and the personal collection of objects found and rescued by our owners. A cubbie full of toy trucks welcomes you in. Look up to the rafters to see a wall of baseball bats. Our checkout counter holds dozens of tape measures, tobacco tins and lunch thermoses. Just like our beams and boards, each item has a long history of its own and is a reminder of the beauty and craftsmanship that exists in unassuming, everyday objects.
CLOSING THE LOOP
The Salvage Shop is a key component in our commitment to sustainability and allows us to complete the cycle of reuse that begins with each of our deconstruction projects. We are able to recapture “waste” as a resource, prep it for resale to our community of contractors, homeowners and artists who then reintegrate it into our built environment.
