The ReHouse team travels to houses that are going to be torn down or remodeled to carefully remove materials and resell them at the store. It’s a 16,000 square-foot treasure hunt.

Kamprath says it’s an adventure every time, because the inventory is always changing.

“I started the company almost 20 years and doesn’t seem like it but when I go back and look at pictures it does look like it,” laughed Sally Kamprath, owner of ReHouse. "We get stuff in every single day. I mean there’s plenty of places to salvage in the Rochester area or even two hours from here puts ya put out a long way."

The top-selling item at ReHouse is doors. The store has 1,000 doors in the shop for sale. ReHouse has reclaimed more than 12,000 doors for reuse from around the Greater Rochester area.
