Holy Pinterest Crafters' Heaven!…read more Have you ever wondered where all those super thrifty and creative folks on Pinterest get their surplus of old wooden doors, used rakes, vintage shutters and pre-loved chandeliers? Look no further, Birmingham DIYers. The Habitat Restore is a depository for leftover, unwanted, or found building materials that are bargain priced for YOU (and me too). Bonus: the proceeds benefit an incredible organization that helps build houses for those who truly need and deserve them: Habitat for Humanity of Birmingham. Do yourself and your community a favor - donate any leftover building materials you have after a remodel or addition or head to Restore after a Pinterest binge has you itching to build your own headboard out of doors, fence posts, or old lightbulbs (hey, I don't judge!). The staff are incredibly friendly, the store organized and clean, and the prices, well, let's just say you won't find this stuff much cheaper anywhere else that is in good shape. Note to self: they even sell paint, so no matter what your project is, check out the wares at this Irondale gem to feel good while getting some bang for your buck. Happy crafting!

I came in expecting this to be more of a vintage, re-seller situation. Southeastern Salvage is…read morereally more of a home-improvement, new/overstock furniture spot. They have things like doors and windows in addition to some outdoor furniture, interesting (tacky) art, dog bedding, and rugs. I strolled through the furniture and they have a good selection of dressers, sideboards, and buffets, but the prices were still steep. I loved a couple larger pieces that were all over $800. For that price, I think you're better off opting for the luxurious experience elsewhere. Somewhere like Nadeau in Homewood or more of an actual vintage store. As for service, nobody spoke to me, but I was just waltzing through. The front doors were confusing and broken and unwelcoming. Honestly, this place is a maze and generally an unpleasant shopping experience. It would be worth it if you really found a deal, though.

We are so bored at home!…read more We are hoping to buy another property as a rental that needs tons of work, so we came out here to check out flooring, cabinets, doors, etc. I divot how much stuff this place has. We'd have to compare prices, but we could refurbish the rental with purchases here Check it out!

You really never know what you'll find in this place. My dad and I were in and out of this place so…read moremuch when we were doing home renovations. They have almost everything here from flooring to doors to paint to handsoap. I bought several of their transition strips for flooring. Only $1.00....a fraction of the cost at other places I looked at like Home Depot (about $11-19) and Southeastern Salvage ($5.00). I was overwhelmed in some parts. The staple and nail selection! So many options for sizes....or to me....so many ways for me to buy the WRONG size!! I think this store is an "all sales final" place too. Even more nerve wrecking..... I've encountered so many associates here, and they have all been super friendly and helpful. One guy was helping my dad and I move pipes into our truck. My dad was very rude to him, and he kept his composure the whole time! If you need something (other than like food)...go ahead and come here and you'll probably find it.

Wow. Just wow. For more than 10 years my wife and I had trouble with our antique door knobs on our…read morefront door. The set screwa were too short and you can imagine the issues with the knobs pulling off. I tried lots of solutions including loctite blue which helped the screwa stay in placew, which helped, but never addressed the issue that the sets screws were simply too short (but we would have to get in a time machine to the 1940s to complain to the manufacturer) * A national hardware store had test openings that showed the screws were sized "1/4 - 20" but they didn't have the actual screws and the guy that was helping me said no one did * The owner of a mom and pop hardware store told me that longer set screws did not exist at all and that I needed to look at an antique store. He wouldn't even check * Then I went to Little Hardware at a Friend's suggestion.. I walked in and the guy who helped me introduced himself and shook my hand. He measured the set screw I had as "1/4 - 20" just like you he big retailer. He then immediately found matching sets screws that were longer (see photo). I had to buy a hex tool to entire I could connect the 4 screws on both knobs. The entire purchase was $15 but I would have paid a lot more to get these knobs right. And now, for the first time since we bought our old house I feel confident in our old door knobs Thank you Little Hardware -- I'm a customer for life!

This review is for both South Cypress tile and the product we bought. We bought a hard to find,…read more2X4 inch thin glass tile color of Sage Mosaic. These are very pretty tiles, and while not cheap are sold at a reasonable rate via South Cypress. South Cypress does include a few extra sheets in each batch sold as they do crack sometimes in shipping, but for the most part shipping is trouble free. Incidentally, If you are installing these thin glass tiles, would highly recommend you work with a contractor that has specific and heavy experience cutting glass tile, as they are not all created equal. We had a major problem in the middle of our project where we ran low on tile. I paid over $185 to have the extra tile expedite shipped next day Fed Ex priority overnight to complete the job. Unfortunately, the shipping company South Cypress uses got the wrong address and sent it to another city, delaying my project for a day and costing me additional non-work labor hours. While that was inconvenient, I have to credit South Cypress for going the extra mile on trying to make up for that costly snafu. They refunded the rush shipping charge and gave me that extra box of tile free of charge for the trouble. Big credit to Michael Clark, customer service, for the extra follow up and high level of communication and effort. That deserves high praise - it's nice to see an organization so committed to service that they would do that without even asking. For that reason, I recommend South Cypress and will definitely order product from them again for other projects in the future.

They can ship tile anywhere and truly go the extra mile to ensure a satisfied customer. When the manufacturer had delays they would contact us immediately and give us updated information and even the option to cancel our order if necessary. I told them that we will use them when we build our dream home one day no matter where it is. Highly recommend! Just wish I could meet them in person one day!
