From a donation stand point this place is fantastic!! I've been doing some remodeling, and needed to get rid of my old things. A deep sink and countertop that were still in very good condition. I did not want to throw them away knowing that someone could still put them to good use. And I didn't want to go through the hassle of selling them. So I took them here for a tax deductible donation. And I saved it from the landfill and helped someone in need of a deep sink. I hope they take kitchen appliances, as I am still not done with my house remodel. And Home Depot wanted $15 each to haul away my old appliances, which are still good! No thanks! I'll donate them to someone who can use them! read more

I love everything about this store and the staff. Carlos is extremely helpful and an absolutely wonderful guy. I have been to this store several times and I always see him running around helping everyone. If you cant find him its because he is either out back helping unload donations, up in the rafters doing some kind of crazy work or simply somewhere around the store helping someone in need. The store is always clean and they are always getting new things. The items they get are always in good to great condition. It's as if they wouldn't take it in if they wouldn't buy it themselves. I appreciate all of the staff for always being so friendly to me when I would come into the store. A+ on service! Thank you to everyone who made me feel welcomed. Your service did not go unnoticed read more

The Habitat folks picked up an extra refrigerator today. On time, courteous and efficient. A pleasure to work with.

This place has loads of useful stuff - and antiques. All for a great cause whether you're buying or donating. For those from the East Bay this is like Urban Ore but much cleaner read more

I love Restore. I recently moved and needed someone to pick up my furniture.. Restore came out right on time. Their drivers were courteous. And then best of all I got a great phone call thanking me for my donation. I love to shop at Restore. They support a great cause. read more

This store and its treasures is a real find if you are a DIYer at all! I buy materials for upgrading our Sequoia Humane Society shelter in Eureka and we have been able to buy white tile to make an isolation ward for our Pregnant rescues to give birth and to isolate sick pets and protect the shelter pets from contamination. Thank you Restore! read more

Habitat for Humanity Restore is a place that looks like a store, but houses a lot of junk that people don't want. Some of it is useful, but most of it is not. I go there sometimes when I have a lot of time. There are lots of very old and worn tools as others have said, "Overpriced". I did purchase a big box of galvanized hex head with washer screws for a roofing job I want to do for the goats. $10. I saw the same thing at Home Depot for $23. Mine look old and suspect - but I don't think the goats will mind... and my box had more than the Home Depot box. Additionally, I was able to get a 20% discount because I convinced the clerk I was a veteran by telling him my service number very quickly. Oddly I can recite very quickly because it was one of those things they made us do in basic training. I suggest they keep a rifle around and have veterans demonstrate their knowledge of close order drill to prove they are veterans. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DmFL2JclqY). Friday is Military day. Thursday is for Senior Citizens, but for this senior citizen it doesn't matter because I would never remember which day is senior citizen day... or what day it is for that matter. If you luck out by being old and arrive on a Thursday, you will get 20% off. Probably the best part about Habitat for Humanity Restore is that they will take your old junk. I took them an old radial arm saw that I didn't want anymore because I had serious fears I'd cut my arm off with it. I saw it there for sale for $58. They had cleaned the rust off the blade and verified it worked. I also saw they have two pallets of exterior doors for a 32" frame. That's kind of an odd ball size. $25 each. One set was plated with tin. A nice touch for $25 - but I don't have a need for them. The other good thing about being a senior citizen is that you can go home and take a nap when you are done looking at all the junk. It made me quite tired to look at all that stuff. read more

Bought multiple 9' tall trellis, they were super heavy. Customer service was super helpful! They provided measuring tape, helped load and also tie downs for my truck. I appreciate all their help! read more

You can't go wrong buying used and new tools and building supplies at Restore, because the proceeds support Habitat for Humanity. It's fun to browse their stuff. If you buy something that doesn't work out, you can donate it back to them and write it off on the taxes. There's friendly, helpful volunteers there to give you a helping hand or advice. Give it a try for a good cause. read more

Workers are very rude. Had 5 minutes before closing wouldn't allow me to use restroom while my husband was in line to pay for some items we wanted. Needless to say due to the rudeness we decided against our purchase. On top of the rudeness the worker had the nerve to touch me. Having PTSD from a brutal assault during a home invasion it caused me to go into a panic attack. I realize the worker had no way of knowing but businesses need to train their employees not to walk up & touch people for that very reason. read more

This store was a disappointment, They mostly have new stuff now. They do have a few older things not much .

If you haven't been here lately you should check it out! We remodeled our bathroom with all ReStore products, for pennies on the dollar! My sister bought a sofa there that looked brand new for $300, which might seem like a lot for resale, but she found it online for $1500. They also have antiques now if that's your thing. No other place like it in Santa Rosa, so you can't really compare it to "thrift shops "because of the sort of things they carry... More like thrift shop meets thrift Home Depot! It's a must for anyone doing remodel on a tight budget. Also, if you see something you like I recommend buying it because it probably won't be there the next day. read more

This place is definitely hit or miss... Today, I needed a few outlet covers. I noticed that there's a small selection of dining tables and chairs; I might come back a different day in the future. I paid $0.35/ per cover. Since I didn't such nor price check items so I can't comment on price. read more

While this place is definitely hit or miss, I've scored a number of decent bargains. My best advice: (1) sign up for the email list to know when they are discounting a category of item in which you are interested - go then; (2) don't just consider an item as it is - consider how it could be (I bought an enormous, AWFUL wood and iron light fixture, spray painted it silver and it is now simply stunning; (3) ask for an additional discount - if an item has been in the store for a while, you can often negotiate to reduce the price. Struggled between 3 and 4 stars - finally decided on 3 because I think I tend towards too many stars. read more

I found a really nice computer chair for 30$ it was a steal!! There is many different colors! Everyone was so helpful read more

ReStore - Thrift Stores Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

I've only been here once, and I'm a little perplexed on how to comment on a place that has a mission statement of basically recycling usable junk. Yay for them. Let's use this stuff! Having said that, I didn't find a thing I was hoping to find from my long list. Nevertheless, this is a great place to check out. I'm guessing you need to frequent regularly and grab it when you see it to get the good stuff. I'm not much of a hoarder for future projects and/or ideas, so this place doesn't really fit my M.O. I imagine other people who don't mind dropping in frequently and storing things for when they're ready will appreciate what they have to offer here. read more

Amazing restore with great finds and organization. Especially loved the antics section. All in all, a great atmosphere thanks to Karlos Silva! Thank you for your continual effort to make this a true gem not only for customers but for the cause! read more

Super great service and amazing deals. Everyone was super nice and helpful. They had a variety of things and all for a good price!!!

love it here! so many options and great staff. came to do some volunteering and was met with welcoming and easy going people.

Volunteered with my work team today! Great mission, great people, and great cause. Definitely felt good making a difference for the Santa Rosa community. read more

all of you who think prices are too high need to get a reality check I am as cheap a bargain hunter as they come and I think the porices are fair and you can bargain with them. This is the best place to find what you need when updating or re-modeling your home. No you won't find everything you need here but with a bit of DIY skills you can save tons of money. Found knobs for cabinets, a beautiful modertn kitchen island and have used the paint section as well. They are also friendly and knowledgeable whihc is more than I can say for Home Depot or Lowes. read more

You can find things here that you can't find in other thrift stores such as building materials, windows, and light fixtures. It's also for a great cause and a non-profit. I feel good about donating there. read more

We were thrilled to shop at restore to fix up our very first house. I love the idea, and was really excited to do our part buying used, and help our community. We purchased many items there including a french door. We were assured it was complete (we are admittedly not experienced in this) and "top of the line". We took it home and had our door guy come to install. When he saw it, he asked where the kick plate was. No kick plate. It is a part that is not in stock at hardware stores and needs to be special ordered for hundreds of dollars! Almost as much as the door itself! We ended up going to Lowes and buying a brand new COMPLETE door for less than what we paid at ReStore. As we're on a very tight budget, I tried to contact restore about this issue. We were hoping to return the door in its original condition for our money back. Since we were forced to buy a new door because they incorrectly labeled and completely lied to us. They never responded. So, I guess restore is an organization that has no issues taking advantage of hardworking people to build houses for people who are less fortunate? Not cool. EDIT- spoke to Thomas on the phone and he was very accommodating. Seeing that this door was the only issue we had our of many items purchased, I would definitely go back and purchase more from ReStore, just make sure you do your homework on prices first. read more

Prices too high on everything & are higher than new in some cases. And yes, some of the stuff that is donated is still in the box, but that doesn't qualify as new.- there are no manufacturer warrantees, etc. and it is in a second hand store that doesn't have a wholesale overhead... 10% off used is not a good deal by any measure( 50% or less is normal if in good condition).. Great place to go if your primary motivation is to donate to H4H, but otherwise not worth it. They do have some cool stuff, but you can find a greater selection new & warranted from a regular retail store. Great idea for a great organization but the implementation isn't helping in the long run. Lets face it, most people who are going to buy things in that store work hard and don't have much money.The store should have more of a community focus. read more

First and foremost, the idea behind H2H is great and the business model is a awesome concept. With that being said, whoever sets the prices for their stuff is crazy. Deals can be had if you hunt for them, but their prices are sometimes higher than if you went to the Home Depot and purchased the same item brand new. So don't go in there expecting low prices on everything, because greed can effect a non profit charity just as it does their for profit counterpart. read more

I have been to many Habitat stores. The Santa Rosa outlet reflects the values of the community it is in; Yuppie Stuckup. I have gone to this store with all kinds of leftover building supplies and they only took a handful of what I know to be of value to the typical shopper. Needless to say, I rarely find what I want and need for my projects because they turn too much aside. I have heard every excuse and as far as I'm concerned this store can simply shut down. It does not hold true to the values of Habitat For Humanity like the others I have done business with. Check out the store in Salt Lake City and you will know what Habitat is all about. An Attitude Makeover is what this store needs! Go to Recycle Town at the Sonoma County dump to recycle your unwanted building materials. Seriously! read more

I just went here and I love it! Great home and office furniture at bargain prices. The light fixtures are terrific, paint supplies and bathroom fixtures. It's pretty amazing and I love that it keeps things recycled instead of tossing away perfectly fine stuff. read more

Too expensive. It makes me mad after you buy something used and non-returnable you find it brand new for less. A lot of phantom deals.

This place has really neat bits and pieces and I love the idea of recycling building materials as much a possible. The day I went it felt a little empty but I found something amazing. I got the talk to the store manager, Thomas, and just chatting with him made the trip worth it. This place is pretty amazing, AND GREEN. read more

Finding this store has made our shopping much easier. We own a rental property and the prices can't be beat for doors, cabinets and windows. That the store supports Habitat for Humanity is an added bonus. read more

The new location is much more user friendly than the previous location. Do they always have everything I am looking for? Of course not, it is a donation based organization after all but they do have a lot of great and interesting items that are worth browsing. The best part? The sales revenue is used to support a great cause of building affordable housing for Sonoma County families. Not just any low income family mind you, but families that are willing to put in hundreds of hours in sweat equity, take classes in financial literacy, and more. In a community that has driven up housing prices through approval difficulties and ridiculous building fees, low income families have no hope of quality housing outside the help of organizations like Habitat. read more

Visited Restore for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I found an eclectic assortment of household remodel items and a staff willing to be of assistance. Although I didn't purchase anything on that trip, I will return when I need a specific item. read more

We picked this charity to donate two furniture items, one quite expensive and one antique. The process of getting scheduled for pick-up was a breeze, especially compared to Salvation Army. From a submitted request with photos to pick-up day was just one day! I was impressed by their professionalism from start to finish. This will be our place of choice for donations in the future. read more

Love this place! I am an avid thrift shopper always looking for that next treasure to rescue and re imagine. I never know what I will find there, but I almost always leave with something. There are times when I see items still there over time because the price may have been a little off, but they always reduce until it finds the right home. Any time I have decided to sleep on a cool item, it is almost always gone the next day so I have learned to buy what I love when I see it. I have purchased furniture, flooring, lighting, cabinets, counter tops, art work, garden stuff and doors. Haven't found the right plumbing, books or tools yet, but I am sure that is a matter of time. read more

Don't bother with this place. I called twice to arrange a pick up of some really lovely furniture. We didn't have time to advertise it on Craigslist before our move, so thought a donation to Habitat would be for a good cause. I twice called the pick up driver in charge, and he didn't call back. I then called the store directly, and was told that the driver 'is a very busy man.' I assured him that I was ' a very busy woman,' and that I didn't understand why a five minute call could not be arranged. Took my business to the Good Will, who immediately drove over and were thrilled with what we donated. Too bad for the HfH people who benefit from their efforts - they just lost many thousands of dollars in merchandise - but just as happy to donate to the Good Will. However, this is no way to run a business, and I hope they learn that a brief call to touch base will reap far greater rewards than simply telling a person who wants to donate 'we're busy.' read more
