We're still the leading
architectural salvage company in
the United States - many
facilities managers and building
owners have been calling us to
sell us salvage rights to their
buildings prior to interior or
complete demolition of
properties. We offer competitive
prices for salvage rights as
well as have a fully insured,
experienced staff who safely and
carefully remove architectural
elements.
Remember we offer the service of
removal of architectural
elements for building owners...
Take a look at the latest job we
did for a building owner in

With garden season finally
here... all you outdoors lovers
have been anxiously awaiting
your chance to break ground and
start up your beautiful warm

more beautiful garden or patio
than salvaged stone and iron

garden more lovely than a
decorative stone or an old iron
fence spear twirling with a
flowering vine. Olde Good Things
specializes in salvaging these
hard to get items. At our
Scranton location alone we have
two iron yards and a large stone
yard, a sprawling 3 1/2 acre lot
filled with outdoor items. Take

antique and new garden and patio
