My wife and I drove a little over an hour to take a look around and see if anything struck our fancy. We follow them on Facebook and love what they have. However, I must say that we were very disappointed in the high prices for wood. I know we are in a pandemic but the prices are listed as “per linear foot” which is ridiculous expensive. We have a place called Urban Wood Lab right in Racine, WI that is far more reasonable for essentially the same type of slabs. I will say this though they had some pretty cool odds and ends types of things that you can tell were pulled straight from the barns.
We drove and hour and a half to come here. It was well worth it!! We bought a hand hewn beam for our fire place mantle and a slap of wood for a desk. They had an outstanding selection of antique and reclaimed items from barns and other items. Paul was an absolute gentleman! So patient, knowledgeable & we arrived an hour before close and he made us feel so free to take our time.. I highly recommend this business and it’s perfect for the designer or anyone looking for those special items to bring out that AUTHENTIC farm house feel.
If your looking for a place to inspire your creativity this is the place! If your not crafty no problem, they have incredible builders to help make your vision a reality!Not just reclaimed lumber, they have tons reclaimed treasures such as whiskey and wine barrels, stable doors, cabinet hardware, crates, doors, windows,ans, tools, and so much more!The prices are very reasonable and as an added bonus knowing you bought something with some history behind it is priceless!The staff is top shelf and the owner is so always willing to chat and a true professional! The owner seems to know the history about almost every piece. Check it out, you will not be disappointed!
Didnt buy anything but will revisit again. Made a quick stop and was amazed to see the collection of items they have in this place. I had been looking for whiskey Barrels for a while and they have the best collection. Must check out if you like Barn items or if you are into DIY projects
Very cool place, lots of interesting stuff/junk as well as finished finds.Will return.
Just found out about this place tonight. Immediately went over there and were nothing but blown away. The smell is amazing. The vast array of available product is even more amazing.Cant wait to replace our Mantle with a piece from them and have it custom clear finished and a few other things done. This is going to be a regular trip for me now that I know its there. I could probably spend an entire day walking around looking at all the great stuff to use to make things out of.Let me wrap this up by saying that the folks complaining that the prices are too high, are just simply individuals that have an absurdly unrealistic expectation of what it is that they should pay for a product of this nature. Any lumber yard can sell you run of the mill wood for cheap, but thats not why you come to a place like this. You come here because each and every piece has a history, has character, and has a story. You cant just get that anywhere. I priced them out for what it was I wanted to be done and they were actually extremely fair priced. Especially given how trendy the product is in todays market.
I couldnt be happier with my experience with All American Reclaim. I had a fall project of redoing my fireplace and the centerpiece of any fireplace is of course is the mantel. I went in pretty green to what to expect or look for and the team was amazing form the star. From looking and selecting the right wooden beam to the craftsmanship in cutting and brushing it to the amazing final piece was beyond my expectations. This beam was an extremely important piece to our fireplace overhaul and my family could be prouder of it!Thank you All American Reclaim Team!
Great selection and very helpful in helping us find just the right board. So much nicer than they previous location. A special thank you to Mike, he walked all over trying to help locate just the right piece.
AARC is a one off store with great owner and his wife who motivates him.Great selection ... anything wood and treasures... wood pegs .. Box nails .. Windows.. Planking.. Beams... joists.. anything left in a barn for 50+ years and free donuts on Sat morning.Really good how to knowledge and just plain wonderful people to do business with.Wholly heartedly say ..Andy and his wife are the Best!!The store is a direct reflection of their mission and family values.Solid pricing..GB
Cool store with vast array of products for your needs. The people were friendly and helpful! Shoutout to Michael and Paul, who were lots of help during our visit.
Good if your looking for wood specifically for a project but they are getting way to pricey for the reclaimed items
Bad customer service. We drove to this place from Wisconsin on Saturday to choose a beam for our new house. Paul helped us choose a beam and he was great.However, we had to pay 175.00 for delivery. The delivery manager said 11/11/20 would be no problem because they had few deliveries to wisconsin. He also said he would call me on Monday to confirm delivery, which he did not. On wednesday evening I sent a message asking what was going on. Thursday morning I get an email saying it was sent via fed exWe paid for delivery not fed ex. If I had not sent the inquiry I would not have known it was being shipped. This is material because we are not in the house yet, so whenever it gets delivered someone may or may not be there. We paid a lot of extra for delivery.Their communication is poor at best and it seems as though they make up the price for services as they go along. I would not reccomend this place if you need a beam delivered for your fireplace.
Cant beat the customer service that you get here. Building a custom shuffleboard table and both Andy and Mike spent a ton of time with me helping me pick out the right board, as well the epoxy. Messed up my first go around so went back and they spent even more time helping explain and walk me through the process of how to do it properly. Stand up crew! Also anyone giving bad reviews due to high prices, simply doesn’t know what they are buying.
I’ve been shopping at All American Reclaim for years and decided that I would give them a nod to celebrate their new location! If you are interested in reclaimed wood (and other items), woodworking, or farmhouse and industrial style, All American Reclaim has a treasure trove of things you should see. A constantly changing inventory combined with an extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff make for a great shopping experience!!
Could have spent hours in this store
Awesome place.
Wow! Amazing service from everyone here but big shoutout to Matt and Mike. They spent a good amount of time showing me around and explaining everything. The never made me feel rushed or uncomfortable. I highly recommend you check this place out for your future projects.
Great place for barn wood and any rustic style.
Great place. Candy store for us woodworking peeps.
Great professional staff. A must see location to find that unusual item for your home.
My favorite place for barn wood and reclaimed materials.. Im always inspired just by walking through the shop... the staff here really know their stuff too, they helped me out a few times and I appreciate their creative ideas and insights to help my projects be a success and have fun doing them.
All American Reclaim is amazing. I have made coat racks, candle holders, decorations, shelves, picture frames, small tables, etc with wood and supplies from All American Reclaim. The new location is organized and stocked with tons of wood. The staff is always willing to help & share tips on wood working projects.
Excellent sourc and for reclaimed lumber, doors and mounting hardware. Great service and friendly staff
Great selection of barn wood and other items. The team there is so incredibly helpful. Prices were also very reasonable. It isn’t often where I go to a store and walk out so impressed with not only the store, but also the service I received from every single person that works there...but this was that place! I was so impressed and can confidently refer anyone looking for barn wood, mantels, and other unique finds here!
While I didnt purchase anything I thought they were well organized with plenty of stock on hand. The staff was attentive and friendly. Nice place.
Love this place! There is so much to look at and the possibilities are unlimited! Each time you go there is something different so if you dont see something that day, keep going! I purchased a 4 pieces of reclaimed oak for shelves. Once I get them made I will post the before and after. My son bought a piece of flooring from a railroad car and its going become a coffee table.The staff there are so friendly and helpful! Cant wait to see what I find next!!
Dont waste your time here. They boast a selection of slabs, while only having a handful poorly worked at outrageous prices. Do yourself a favor and head to kettle moraine instead.
A little pricey but great selections!
Great sruff
I came in here looking for a piece of wood for a coat rack. I was asked by no less than 3 people if I needed help, before finally deciding on a nice piece of mahogany. After selecting the piece the salesman gave me some tips on how to finish it. I finished the piece and it looks great! I will be back soon for material for a table, thanks!
The new location is incredible with a super selection of some of the highest grade wood around. Very organized and love the antique items you’ve bought in. Nice work Reclaimed!
I have no idea why this place thinks everything is made of gold.I have no idea how anyone affords there prices!Edit: I am fully aware of what its to reclaim materials as I was in the trade once. Your prices are still high. I can find everything you have there for cheaper price just being resourceful. But thanks for the response.
Very large selection. Worth the drive. Associate was helpful
Good selection, but prices are 3 to 4 times higher than what can be found in the area.Thanks for the reply!Dont get me wrong, you have a great selection and, if you can get business at these prices, more power to you.Honestly, Ive been in this business for 15 years, and Ive never seen prices higher than yours, not even close. I mostly use 8x8 beams and 2x10 lumber, and these are 5 times cheaper at the Rebuilding Exchange downtown, and 3 times cheaper at the ReUse Depot Im Maywood. Im sure they have the same expenses as you, maybe higher due to their locations.Your stuff might be well priced for the weekend warrior who buys a piece of wood once a year, but I cant help but think youll sell a lot more if you target people like me.
I cant believe this place has been here for a couple of years and I havent discovered them yet!! From the outside it may look like a just a store, but once inside you are treated to a true shopping experience! They have everything from gift items to some of the more unique, character filled pieces of wood and other treasures! Honestly, you could shop and go through things for hours. Their staff is incredibly helpful, knowledgable and friendly. Youve got to check this place out!
You can find any kind of wood you can think of.And Hardware
Excellent selection of reclaimed lumber and live edge wood. Definitely recommend.
Interesting things, didnt end up purchasing anything so I cant comment on the prices
The staff was amazing, very knowledgeable and attentive. The wood we got was amazing and perfect for our shelving! This place was a hidden gem, I’ll definitely go back :)
Awesome Place! A must...wood options endless!
Had success in my first visit this past weekend. The staff was extremely helpful and shared great information. I was able to find the perfect pieces for our project. Looking forward to my next trip!
I have been in this store three times already, and every time I am there, I find what I was looking for, and even more. The owner and the employees offer a unique customer service care to every customer.
Largest selection I’ve seen in Chicagoland. Great prices for the high quality. Wood recommend
If your into doing magic with nifty barnwood and such....this is a dream come true....you talk about lumber and stuff....check it out for your self...
Awesome place to shop for old stuff
I want to like this place so much but just cannot. Their prices are ridiculous. I have purchased from them about 3 years go and they had much more fair pricing. They have a lot of wood there but a lot of it is pretty picked over. They have some gems there but at $7.50 a board foot its not worth it.
I was looking for 50 board feet of mixed 4, 6, and 8. Inventory was very low, but beyond that, they were asking high end retail prices. I make my products for resale and need wholesale prices. These guy are way out of line for me.
Theres a lot of stuff in here and lots of boards to chose from but the prices are way too high for someone who wants to do a few projects. At the end of the day, old wood with a little character shouldnt cost more than new wood
Love the store. Has many different kinds of woods. I do think it is a little expensive but in my opinion its worth it
Nothing has a price on it. They have great stock but no one is on the floor to ask what something costs. I could hear saws in the back room and guys joking around but no one offered to help even when they came out to get pieces of wood for what ever they were working on. The wood is sorted so it shouldnt be hard to put a sign out for how much something costs per linear/ board foot like at ReStore and the Re-use depot. I saw one lady asking about some slabs and the guy had to run back and forth to check price multiple times, what a waste of time. I wasnt impressed with the service, it wasnt until I was almost out the door that someone asked if I had questions. I left 2 stars only because of the stock they have. As far as service or ease of shopping this place doesnt compare to other reclaim material places in the Chicago area.
LOVE this store and the people that work there! Unique gift ideas Too!
Super helpful and knowledgeable staff. 5 stars!!!
Fascinating place wide range of items, barnwood, windows, beams, antigues.
