Deconstruction and Architectural Artifacts

By way of neglect,age or in the path of development, many a building's useful service life ends for the present owner. Preservation Trades catalogues and deconstructs historic buildings for immediate use or later re-erection. We also inventory structural and non structural architectural salvage for reuse.			Nonstructural deconstruction involves the removal for salvage/reuse of any building contents that are not a part of or whose removal is not dependent on the structural integrity of the building. This category includes finish flooring, wainscot, windows, doors, trim, fixtures, hardware and fireplace mantels.
