Interesting! I didnt find what I was looking for but would come back for items if I needed them.

Thr store is well organized. You can find many interesting stuff here. The price is good. Staff is nice.

Its a wonderful place for individuals who dont have money to buy furniture it is a all so non-profit company and sales Furniture also

LOVE this place. We found three of the most dope vintage light fixtures for our funky bungalow. Staff is super nice and helpful, and the selection is truly mind-blowing.

If you like second-hand ones, then you come to this place for good value.

A very under rated place to shop for unique, rare and vintage items. They have a large selection of appliances, furniture, building supplies. They also carry live edge wood slabs. One thing to also note is that they also have a great return policy. So dont be shy about your purchase. Its a great place to shop and a hidden gem. Also one thing to note is that if you ask nicely, they can help you with loading heavy items to your vehicle.

Very awesome place to find antique windows, doors, shutters, lights, paint cans, bathtubs, sinks, faucets, stones, tiles, and many more! Thank you so much for creating this business! Its a must have for many artists and people that just need this stuff! Love, love, love!!!

All DYIers, artists, small contractors, and thrifts! Come forth, come forth! All of us know the pain and struggle of finding what we need at the right price when our pockets are empty of coin. We know the sorrow of dreaming of a project but knowing the expense is too high. Fret no more, friends! Community Forklit Nonprofit is the paradise for all of us who love to create from old; for all of us whose creativity is bound to a smaller budget. Doors, shelves, tools, lamps, lights, knobs, tables, sinks, table legs, rugs, and more in tdifferent conditions and styles for all of use to buy. The best part, at a fraction of its original price.Not only is this place filled with amazing items to be discovered, it is also filled with the friendliest of people who are willing to help you find the treasure you need.But dont forget to give back! Dont throw away that tool you no longer need, or the paint that isnt the color your thought, maybe an old shelf doesnt fill you with joy anymore. Bring them all to Community Forklift as a donation and help your fellows.

A fan since 2006, during the renovation of our house; it continues to be my first stop before I hit the big box and/or boutique stores because you never know what you might find, I found a bicycle for $30. A great place to donate as well, super friendly staff.

Absolutely love this place for antique and rustic style furnishings. Always finding treasures every time I explore!!!

What an amazing community resource that i bet most people aren’t even aware is here. This is the goodwill of home renovation. They will pickup things you don’t need anymore (they recently came to my home in dc to pick up an old toilet and vanity for donation). They have such gorgeous stuff and lots of awesome antiques and all at great prices. Love the idea of shopping here since it’s environmentally friendly to recycle and reuse instead of buy new!

I have upgraded, renovated and restored my entire home working almost exclusively with Community Forklift. It took time, but it was well worth it. You just have to be a lil patient with what you need vs. what they have. Love the place.

It was good before, affordable prices now they are hand to hand with HD and Lowes prices ...whats wrong with people??

Community Forklift does not appear to understand the value of moving inventory from their warehouse to prospective buyers. I have made several reasonable offers on a chandelier. Even though my offers were reasonable, given the acquisition cost was zero and they did not have to ship the item, my offers were consistently rejected.Thus I wonder if they know what business they are in. Are they sellers or a nonprofit warehouse where hanging onto stuff is more important than moving it out of inventory by selling it.They need to hire a pricing expert.

Good selection of bulk nuts, bolts, odd and ends metal hardware. Good place to go as well for cabling, some tools, great alternative to the big box stores. Nice garden center as well

This place is so cool. It has fireplace mantels, doors, salvaged wood, light fixtures, bathroom fixtures, door hardware, windows, and Furniture of course. And more! There is a lot to choose from and walking through this place is like walking through any other thrift store. You never know what youre going to find.

Staff is super helpful, prices are comically good. Got a beautiful desk today on sale for less than $30, looks great and cant wait to go back!

It ok but very good stuff to repurpose and not bad price

Amazing place. Will be going soon.

Extremely unprofessional and confrontational encounter with donation drivers from Community Forklift - donated numerous construction items (which they sell for a profit) and offered to give an additional $50 tip for taking additional, various items with them (ie paint, drywall etc) - after providing the check the other driver becomes very aggressive, banging on my front door, refusing to leave, yelling and threatening to throw all of the items on my front lawn if I do not give him cash (which the donation form states cash OR CHECK and the driver gave me his first and last name for the check). In fact, the driver demanded that he FOLLOW ME TO A BANK, so I could pay him cash. (Are you serious??) Needless to say, the police were called and while there the drivers THREW THE ITEMS ALL OVER MY LAWN (see attached pictures) IN FRONT OF THE POLICE - including boards with nails sticking out, oil all over the street, usable tools, grout, drywall IN THE RAIN!! They even threw a wire on my LIVE power line connected to the house while it is raining and sleeting! Unbelievable situation - would never have believed it in 100 years! STAY AWAY!

Cool warehouse packed full of stuff. I did find some things to be on the pricey side for the wear and tear they were showing.

Great place for finds and making donations

Some things are too expensive while you can get good deals on others.

Much of what they have is low end salvaged home goods and old light fixtures.. Great place to buy the cabinets for garage storage. I would come back here if I needed a small vanity top or looking for a particular door. They also have a collection of used appliances.

A lots of stuff !!

Used to be great prices for.donated material, now some items are prices the same or MORE expensive than home depot. You can find stuff here and there, like Marshalls... They used to sell old stuff for cheap, now they say its antique. They used to only be open 4 days a week, closed by 3. Then 7 days a week close by 6. Now weird hours due to covid.

Fantastic small business Saturday event with live music!

Super fun place to look around. Inventory is always changing. Weve gotten some great deals on old windows and doors that weve used for garden projects. You never know what youll see!

Lots of used options for lumber, plumbing, cabinets, sinks, and so much more. Its like a treasure chest.

Lovely place to be at for used items and even new items fairly priced and Lovely staff thanks for the experience.

Great experience. They are enforcing all precautions against covod 19. Overall a great experience plus theres a new art gallery

I have spent a ton of money fooling with Andre. He is the best. Guided me to good purchases and made sure I got the best deal. Love him and Community Forklift.

So very overpriced. I was quite disappointed to see how much this place has raised its prices to quite comical levels. The prices of used flooring, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and appliances are outlandish.In previous years, I could find real value here, now it seems more like buying used stuff at high retail prices. For shame. They need to hire a person with better understanding of how to price items.

Great place! I got a credenza, radiator, cabinet/hutch at bargain prices. The credenza and cabinet/hutch needed some work but at the price I paid I’m extremely happy to have found items in such good condition. I will be back soon!

This place was a treasure to discover! First time visiting and walked out with a gorgeous coffee table. Will definitely visit again to find more beautiful items

They had carpet I was searching for

Great mission. Great prices on mostly used, donated building materials, furniture, and appliances.

Love those place. . Even if only for inspiring creativity, it is worth the experience.

Community Forklift is a great place to find used furniture and appliances as well as light fixtures, fans and anything else you need for your home improvement projects.

Yuo can find good stuff for improvement home or any job

Lots of useful things at good prices for someone willing to do a little hunting.

Takes some time to look through inventory and multiple visits to check if anything new had come in but when you do find what your looking for you save. Plus the staff is always nice and helpful

Expensive!!!! They do have some things like doors that seem economical, but most of the store is a wonderland of outrageous pricing. It seems they are taking advantage of people.

Helpful people doing important work.

A great place for household items with a bit of history already. All for a great cause. Love supporting them

A bit overwhelming, and hard to get a person to help you. If you are patient and have a lot of time, could be a good spot.

This place is amazing, I not only found exactly what I needed to complete my home project but found additional items to inspire another project or two.

Thrift store version of Home Depot. Been going here for several years and love it. Great place to find a random gizmo that matches something on your older home. Also good for funky finds and affordable materials. Prices for the nice stuff are higher than they used to be. The space is a warehouse, so sometimes its hot or cold, and everything is a little dusty. Overall pretty well organized, though, and it seems like theyre constantly getting better at that. Friendly staff, too.

Every weeks an adventure! Come in looking for a 35 & quarter inch by 80 front door.. walk out with 3 boxes of 1/4 teal & brown glass tile, bag of grout & 4 gallons of paint. Oh ya, and that odd sized metal security door w/frame! Yah! But what are the odds? Its work to rummage through. Aside toilets, wood columns, neon or srain glass, fixing the house can become a major art project.. the furniture is a hodgepodge of Mid-Century modern, 20s -80s chairs tables, a 30s handmade large walnut blanket hutch, or Xmas decorations from a old dept store... yikes! Found a side alter from a Catholic church. Its eclectic & fun, but be prepared for whatever the time of year it is... In the Summer, its hot, Winter.. cold, and dusty. It is what it is, dually noted, be gleeful and pleasant with the the hard working men in this warehouse, moving very heavy objects & as life you get what you give meaning, they might work with you, if possible. Enjoy your visit & good luck😉👍in finding that matching 50s french pink bidet.

Super great idea and they have some neat stuff but MAN are they overpriced. We went looking for a set of old doors to use in our new home; found a set we liked but each had a price tag of $275. I figured they mustve been mislabeled as individually priced vice for the set so finally hunted down a staff member to verify... Nope, $275/ea for some beaten, battered, moldy, dusty, discarded doors. Talk about sticker shock. Then as we were leaving, we walked past a stack of resin Adirondack chairs in terrible shape; I had just purchased two new ones from Lowes at the end of the season for $8/ea so I had to check the sticker on these to verify my opinion of/the exorbitance of this place... Sure enough, each barely-if-at-all usable piece of junk chair was priced at $8. Cmon. The maximum acceptable asking price for those was $1. You cant help but feeling like theyre trying to take advantage of you.If youre looking to be philanthropic, Id recommend you just donate to a charity with the full transparency required to divulge where, exactly, all your money goes. If youre really just searching for affordable architectural salvage (especially in the form of doors, radiators, tubs, or mantels), check out Vintage House Parts & Radiators down the road instead. They have a huge selection of certain types of salvage; most in better shape than Community Forklift, and certainly MUCH more reasonably priced!

This place has great prices for someone doing home remodeling and wants to save money on material.

Their motto is reuse they strive to be no waste. Beautiful pieces are all around the store and you find different things daily. Its always a pleasure to come thru...you will not be disappointed

This is an awesome place. They are 🏳️‍🌈 friendly and they help the community a lot. They also have tons of awesome stuff for sale.

Community Forklift is an always-interesting and ever-changing place. Inventory changes fairly frequently. Lots of sales. They always have high quality tiles at cut rate prices. Today there were cases of beautiful Porcelanosa tiles for just $11. Amazing.

A treasure trove: old fashioned junk store with lots of architectural details, tools, furniture, appliances, you name it.

Its a wonderland! Community Forklift is super cool, but you have to know how to use it. You have to know what you want and/or be ready to browse among a thousand doors or toilets or drawer pulls.Weve been happy to donate to Forklift, too, both bringing them old tiles and having them come pick up an old washing machine. Very friendly people, doing admirable community work.

Pricing on items has been an issue the last two times weve been there. Otherwise always interesting finds

I have been going to this place for three years. I make it a habit to stop in at least once a month for great deals.

I love Community Forklift. Once upon a time, a place like this might have been called a salvage yard, but Community Forklift is curated so everyone knows where everything is at this Home Depot/Goodwill/adult learning center hybrid. People who work here a believers, but some have the curmudgeonly hustle of a busy grandfather on a Saturday morning. Plus, Community Forklift has learning programming. Its great!

A wide Supply of products I really enjoyed my visit it was great

Great selection of used building materials equivalent to a Home Depot size. Dress warm because its a warehouse not a store

Good place. Ive been here a few times, and they seem to have a good amount of vintage materials. They also have a section in the back where you can pick up free paint, typically in pint-size cans (I presume that these are overstock or left over?).

If there is a lower price on an item, but the cashier wants to charge you the highest price, ask for a manager. I tried to buy a light, and was told that the two $65 blue price tags on it werent price tags, they were blue stickers indicating it was vintage. Odd response since everything in there is vintage, and I had seen the exact style price tag on dozens of other items.I left a negative review and management followed up with me, but by the time they determined that $65 was the actual price, the item has been sold. From other reviews, this was not the first time something like this happened. I wont be back.

Every the have is donated but the prices are very high. The manager isnt personable and the prices he gives are ridiculous.

Love this place. Bought an antique ceiling light with a Groupon and the customer service was fantastic. Great finds from antiques to building materials. The selection is so much better than I thought it would be.

Love this place. You can search for hours and find some real good second hand deals for your place. from wood to full kitchen installation. Second hand stoves and windows and all kinds of stuff.There are also some cute stores out front who sell second hand furniture and designed furniture.

Huge warehouse of used building materials, kitchens, appliances, etc. Very much like Second Chance in Baltimore but better organized. A bit less ready to haggle over price than SC but reasonable anyway. Fun to roam around and look.

This place is awesome. I always find great items at great prices. Everyone there is super friendly and they even host events to show their support for the community. If you get a chance, I definitely recommend you check it out.

I went to the store with a reference from a local contractor. The collection is huge, in variety of items. As the name implies, it is a thrift store, but there are some unopened new items too. Items are here and there in the yard which looks even not usable. Parking is across street, unfinished lot. Expect to get muddy if you are visiting the area in the rainy season. You can only drive to the yard to pick up your staff. Employees are very helpful should you have questions.

The Community Forklift is a great business. They essentially sell donated housewares, building materials, appliances, etc. all of which is donated to them. The warehouse itself is enormous, and they have everything, doors, windows, lumber, screws, paint, washers, dryers, toilets, and yes, even the kitchen sinks! The staff is super helpful and knowledgeable, and the prices cant be beat. For instance, $0.15 per foot of PVC pipe: you cant get those prices are your local hardware store!The turnover in inventory for some categories of stuff is massive. If youre looking for a shopvac, they sell out pretty quickly (I know). but if you go back a few days, then you are likely to find one that hasnt been sold yet.They are also super involved in the green community, and host parties the first Fridays of the month (hence the name, First Fridays). All around, this is a great local green business to support, and you can sometimes find some real treasures here that you wont find elsewhere.

Found a vintage door and door hardware that matches the existing doors in our 1917 house. Amazing! The vintage hardware section was amazing. Tons of options and organized by style which made it easy to find what we needed.

I LOVE this place. The employees are extremely helpful, the selection cannot be beat. They are doing a great service for the area by recycling these materials.

Prices are outrageous. Whats with these salvage places that look up furniture prices on fancy antique sites and price their things the same?! This aint a Soho gallery guys! Dont donate- total rip off.

This place is awesome. I was impressed with the amount of reclaimed building material. I was expecting a Salvation Army and was pleasantly surprised.

OMG Such a huge selection and so well organized! Thoroughly enjoyed my visit. There are true treasures there, especially if you are restoring an older home.

Was able to get flooring to match ours for repair. They now have a great selection of new glass tile, at least 4 different styles and enough of each you could do a room

I really like what they are doing here. For those of us living in 100+ year old houses, its hard to find stuff that fits. This place is bound to have exactly what you are looking for, given enough time.

If you own a house-this is a grown-ups home toy store. Everything is used yet is in fair or mint condition. Depending on what it is you need there are some brand new items in store also!!!

Best to check here for doors, windows, lumber, hardware and any other home construction project materials. New, used and antique. Great prices on salvaged lumber, including American chestnut. Good place, good mission.

Always have what I need for my little projects. Staff is always willing to assist as well. Great place!

This place is awesome! The prices are really good and the workers have great customer service. They even help you load anything you buy. My wife and I will be back again when were ready to do our wet bar in our basement.

I went there on a lark looking for a piece of granite for a small counter I was making in my bathroom. Id been there before for other things, but have never been really impressed by their selection of doors or windows. Second Chance in Baltimore has more of those. But this place excels in stone. They had probably three or four times the marble and granite of Second Chance, and were very reasonably priced. At other places I didnt see anything I liked, but here I was choosing between three favorites pieces. Even after machining(The expensive part that has to be done elsewhere) my vanity counter will be under 150 bucks!The person who helped me was very nice and charismatic. It seems like the employees enjoy their jobs, which makes them nice to deal with.

We attended the First Friday and it was a fun way to spend a few hours with a food truck and a fiddler on stage where there was a little outdoor seating. Community Forklift is dog friendly indoors and also in the salvage yard. They had face painting and stuff for kids.The concept of Community Forklift is to connect people who need something for their home with re-useable resources no longer needed from other homes. They reclaim materials from old homes (double hung windows, doors, lamps, base boards, plantation shutters, fireplaces, old furniture, entire kitchens’ cabinets and work surfaces, sinks, toilets, tubs, fridges, washers etc) and sell them at a reasonable price. It’s more expensive than a thrift store or a consignment store and they always know when they have something highly valuable - so no absolute steals here- but it’s still much cheaper than buying new and more eco friendly. You just have to be willing to put in the work to make these items really shine again.At First Friday, the lines for the specialty stall (the fabric section) were long so we didn’t go in there but I saw some shoppers come out with armfuls of nice-looking material. We bought a gorgeous ceiling light fixture for $50 and an aluminum muffin tin for $3. Both require considerable work to get them looking new but I prefer this over sending them to a landfill.

Ive been coming here for a couple years when Im in town. Very cool space, one of those salvage stores you could explore for hours. They clearly have an eye for good/cool stuff. Some of the prices are excellent, some are sky high, and some are average. I normally havent had to interact with the staff beyond paying for a purchase.Today I was purchasing an item that was marked with three different prices. The highest price was more than three times the lowest price. I brought it to the register, assuming I would most likely be charged the lowest marked price. They told me it must have been mismarked or someone switched price stickers, and insisted on charging me the highest of the three prices. Items from that department were on a 50% off sale, but this item was an exception. I asked if they would wave the exception under the circumstances and again they said no.I will probably return but will be very skeptical. This is not how you do business.

Cool place. I love to go and browse. Some items are overpriced but its possible to find a good deal.

This place was awesome, staff is very helpful. They have everything for your home needs. We found a closet door perfect measurements. Check this place out.

A good place to take donations of excess building material.They will accept almost anything, and give you a receipt for taxputposes.A good place to buy radiators. They also sell used toilets.There is a good collection of used and antique tools.Lots of tile. Never the same as the last visit.

Love this place. Next time I kit out an entire house, Im making this my preplan stop. Great inspirations everywhere.

Great place to go for salvaged house material that can be given new life. My wife and I spend hours browsing in this place. So much stuff! Im not sure how the pricing is set up though. Some items seem like theyre a steal, other seem fair and some will make you scratch your head and say really? The customer service is awesome and the people that work there are super friendly. We go about once every other month.

Another great business just outside of DC. Salvaged and reclaimed building materials for cheap. Lumber and hardwood. Old furniture and tools. Great for artists and craftsmen alike.

Great place. Lots of cool stuff. Good place.to.donate excess building materials.

Unique blend of hard-to-find, boutique, and affordable common items usually donated from renovations in the area.Great community presence and a worthwhile stop each time.

Place is full of interesting finds with lots of options. I especially liked the lighting options and lumber for sale. But some items price was a bit of a head scratcher as to why it was so high. They do offer a Groupon deal for $20 off $40 so bring that if you can.

This is a salvage store combined with a antique shop. They have a huge warehouse with all kinds of salvaged material. I want to love this place so much, but they have a few problems. The first is that it is a pain to get to. The second is that their prices for some things are what you would expect from a high end consignment store. The last problem is that they have so much junk just thrown around with all the good things that it is hard to find useful materials. Stuff seems to be thrown into piles and possibly waiting for organization, so this may not be a constant problem, but I found it hard to search through so much obvious trash. (They had an empty can of Bug spray for $0.50). I think they need to focus on being a little more organized and selective with their inventory. That said, it is still an amazing place with some really interesting stuff available if you are willing to work for it.

Amazing staff that is very knowledgeable and helpful. They have good inventory to support any project!

Love this place, but not every thing is a good deal. Some things they actually have over priced, then others are awesome deals. So know your prices when shopping.

Great place to visit, found just what I wanted at a fraction of what I thought I would have to pay.

Has a great selection of used furniture and building supplies. its always an adventure!

Good stuff

They have it going on. More solutions than you imagined.
