Refab creates training and employment opportunities through the sustainable practices of deconstruction and refabrication. Rather than use machines to demolish buildings and landfill perfectly good materials, we use people power to quickly and carefully disassemble structures and make quality, affordable materials available to people like you. 
Shop reclaimed building materials and other creative re-use supplies while supporting our veteran reemployment program.
