Planning a remodel? This local program, now serving Fayette, Scott, and Bourbon counties, offers a unique way to save money, reduce waste, and support our community.

The Lexington Habitat for Humanity Deconstruction Program provides a professional, fully-insured team to carefully uninstall and remove items like kitchen cabinets, countertops, working appliances, vanities, and more — at no cost to you.

From demo to donation

Instead of sending these materials to the landfill, they’re given a second life at the Lexington Habitat ReStore. They’re resold with proceeds supporting Lexington Habitat’s mission of building homes, communities, and hope.

By using the deconstruction service, Lexingtonians can save on costly demolition while keeping usable items out of the waste stream, making the remodel both eco-friendly + cost-effective.

How does it work?

  1. Schedule a consultation: The team completes a walk-through of your project.
  2. Project evaluation: The Deconstruction Manager assesses the needs and sets a project timeline.
  3. Expert removal: The team uninstalls items and provides an itemized list for tax records.
  4. Sustainable reuse: Salvaged materials go to the ReStore for resale, with proceeds directly supporting Lexington Habitat’s mission.

Taking the next step

Deconstruction services are available in Fayette and some surrounding counties. Kitchen uninstalls are scheduled Monday through Friday, with the team typically arriving by 9 a.m. and finishing in the afternoon.

Pro tip: To ensure the best time for your remodel, schedule your consultation at least three weeks in advance. Questions? Reach out.

By using the deconstruction program, you’re keeping usable materials out of the landfill and supporting Lexington Habitat for Humanity’s affordable housing initiatives.

Your remodel isn’t just an upgrade — it’s an investment in your neighbors and a more stable and sustainable future.
