We get asked a lot about where we source our wood. Typically it’s from people like you who hate to see a good thing go to waste. 

Maybe you’re looking to have a structure removed from your property or maybe you just have some boards laying around. Whether it’s a barn, an old deck, or a dusty pile of lumber chances are we’re interested in it. It doesn’t have to be old to be cool. Don’t get us wrong, we love a good back story, but whether it’s twenty or two hundred years old we’ll find use for it.

We typically don’t buy our wood; we work for it. When you call us to have a barn or building removed from your property, we don’t come out with any heavy demolition machinery that will take your structure down in minutes. Our process is much slower; we do it board by board using only crowbars and chainsaw. It takes time. Burning it down might be a quicker solution but we’d certainly prefer you give us a shot at it.

A building complete with drywall, masonry, wiring, etc., may require the heavy demo people to come out, but we can still be part of the process. Right now cities and counties are doing very little if anything to salvage material from homes or businesses slated for demolition - It all just goes to the landfill. If you are aware of a structure in your hometown that’s going to be demolished, let us know about it. Maybe we can preserve a little local history and save taxpayers a nickel from fees taken at the landfill.

If you have some wood you’d like to drop off, a pile of lumber you want us to pick up or a building you’d like us to look at for deconstruction, let us know about it by sending us an email to info@bearwoodcompany.com. You can also call or send a text to the shop at 304-982-9078. Any photos can really help us understand what the job might entail.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to take something old, remake it into something new and keep the story going.
