After 22 years in the salvage business, we have been honored to work in some of the most beautiful buildings in the country.  Although we hate to see these structures come down, we are happy to be able to preserve some of their architectural elements for you and your home.  Seen to the right is our first salvage project back in 1988.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

^Salvage and demolition went hand in hand at the "HUGE" first Baptist Church in Atlanta, GA.  Half of the church was being torn down as the other was being salvaged.  The church was decorated with 36 terra-cotta and stone urns nearly 6 feet tall, Huge stone columns and lots of interior plaster decoration.
