I need to find some old windows and doors for an independent film and am wondering if there are any salvage yards in or around Detroit where I can pick up these items cheap or, better yet, free. Any help would be appreciated?
Most big cities have at least one architectural salvage yard, and Detroit, MI is no exception. I did a quick search and it looks like there are several from which to choose. If you do the same search, you can check out the websites for yourself. Type the following phrase in the Yahoo! search box ? "architectural salvage" and "Detroit" ? including the quotation marks and you will be rewarded with several thousand results. You will find all the information you need, including addresses, phone numbers, hours of operation, etc etc. Like most searches, the first couple of pages of results (a total of just 20) will yield the best websites to visit.
Another idea that comes to mind is to contact some home improvement companies that specialize in replacement windows and doors. They spend a lot of money disposing of old windows and doors, usually in landfills, and may be more than happy to give you all of the old windows and doors you want. A look through your local Yellow Pages will give you lots of companies to call.
Good luck with your film project.
