Remodeling homes is a messy business. We are constantly tearing things out before we can go to work improving our client's home. I'm sure you've seen the dumpsters or demolition crews carrying the rubble away. Some years ago we discovered a way to recycle the reusable items while getting our clients a tax deduction. Plus, on numerous occasions we've been able to locate and buy one-of-a kind historic building materials such as doors, sinks, tubs or other unique items that fit very well into the home we were remodeling.
Common items we donate during kitchen remodeling would include old kitchen cabinets, kitchen counter tops, kitchen sinks, refrigerators, ovens, ranges, cook tops, dish washers and lighting fixtures. Bathroom remodeling items include toilets, bathroom vanities, pedestal sinks, shower fixtures, old tubs, and lighting fixtures. Other household items include water heaters, ceramic tile, usable paint, tools, door hardware, doors and windows.
As a member of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI), we have grown to appreciate that our donations and purchases have been supporting numerous people in need through another NARI member, Stardust Building Materials, a non profit corporation.

Computers for Kids
Computers for Kids is a special program created by Stardust Building Supplies. It is designed to benefit the students, families and schools in less-advantaged school districts in the area.
Computers for Kids' unique vision: getting computers into the hands of students who may never be able to afford them and having a positive impact on the literacy rates in these districts.
Computers for Kids' unique plan: for every book that a student reads, that student earns points towards owning a computer. When the student has read the agreed upon number of books, the student is awarded with a computer for his or her home.
