Build It Green!NYC's Deconstruction Services are available to professionally dismantle anything from a kitchen to a whole house. Our team will carefully uninstall your materials and remove the items, offering you a tax receipt for your donation and removing the items without a container fee. Deconstruction is also your best environmental, and often financial, alternative to the landfill.

Project: Full House Deconstruction
In November 2010, we all took a big road trip out to the beautiful town of Tom's River, NJ and spent a week working on our first solo large-scale deconstruction project: a two and a half storey home with a two car garage (click here for pics). The project was a big success, we've already sold everything from the house and are hungry for more, so here goes: Demolishing your House? Clear your eco-conscience with Build It Green!NYC large-scale deconstruction. Pay us instead of the Demolition Man, your house will be dismantled with care, organized, and resold to save both the material and the environment. It's a win-win.
