Habitat for Humanity ReStore

I’m only posting on this page because the Torrance page has yet to be created. I found this to be a great store. This is a great place to find home gems at affordable prices and give your dollars to a worthy cause at the same time.

CLOSED
Fantastic ReStore, just like the others, but in a huge warehouse.
Unfortunately this one has closed and is moving to a Torrance location near Crenshaw Blvd.
Too bad because this location in Gardena was right off the 110 freeway.

Review for Donation Pickup:
Excellent service of my donation pickup request was handled by Letty. Sent an email to the restore address, received a response back to provide additional information and photos. Within a few hours I was confirmed for a truck to come and pickup the items the very next day. Keep up the great work Habitat team!

I love this place. I received a great deal on windows and doors. This is the «go to» place for me and all my contractor friends.

This is a great place to shop for your do it your self projects.

I love this place — you can’t beat the prices.
They have home and office furniture and reclaimed materials from home demos like doors, windows, cabinets, tubs, toilets, fixtures, tiles, wood flooring etc. So if you are a DIY person you could probably find some nice funky pieces to make your project a lot cheaper. Do your measuring before you go so you can make sound choices.
Seems to be crowded in the mornings with a lot of contractors so get there early for the best pickings.
Last time I went I bought an area rug for the cheapest price I have seen anywhere.
Because they are steadily getting in new items daily it’s a treasure hunt each time you go.
Happy hunting.
Store Hours:
Tues — Sat; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (closed Sundays & Mondays)

Great stuff… brilliant finds. Great customer service. Prices on most items seem too good to be true. You can also find hardware and tools for all home improvement needs.

I had a amazing experience at Restore! The staff is friendly and helpful and the the things you can find in here are incredible! I came in to buy some paint and left with a vintage dresser and vintage outdoor lights! The quality of the items is great! I love to repurpose and recycle and this is the place to do it!

If you are remodeling your home, this is definitely the place to shop. You can get anything from a new carpet to a new door for the fraction of the price.

Great place to save. Why pay full price when you can save 50% or more? Huge selection.

This is an outstanding place for supplies for DIY home repairs/​improvements. I’ve been able to find great furniture, cabinets, and even art for the walls here. They also have extra tiles for floors and even backsplashes at great discounts. It’s also great to just reuse and re purpose these used household items so you aren’t creating more waste!
Sometimes you have to look around a little to find something special, but the store has stuff coming in all of the time. Store is clean and employees are super helpful.

This place has lots of cool stuff for your house at great prices. You can hunt out bargains, interesting things for your house, or some construction supplies.

Great items, great staff, go here if you want to find great stuff for your building project that doesn’t have to be new. I was like a kid in a candy store.

Exterior doors, interior doors, french doors, closet doors, windows, shutters, rugs, exterior masonry, some bedroom furniture but it goes fast and etc. I bought solid hardwood closet doors and a 8×10 rug. Seriously will visit this place x2 a week because they keep having new items placed on the sales floor.

There are gems amongst the junk! Worth a look for things like bookshelves or tables/​chairs. They had several brand new stackable driers donated to them when I was there.
Tough to find a parking spot.

You have old stuff get it here, but most are junky and old, and overpriced I should have gone to Home Depot for some stuff they sell here used .
check prices first them shop around and compare.

Need to update my review so u can understand how the first review got a low rating. Jessica from HH came through the 2^nd time around and did a p/​u of additional windows and a couple doors
Jessica explained to me after not coming through the first time around that she was running the store alone an apologized for not getting out to pick up the items. I strongly believe that communication is key in any situation so things can get donated .
Keep up the GREAT JOB
PS: the 2 workers who came to p/​u were also GREAT very nice & polite

I wish I could come here every day to check out their items. For all the random stuff they have the staff keeps this place pretty organized. From planters to shutters and light bulbs to rugs. It has your A-​Z list of random items to fix up your fixer upper.
FYI they are closed Mondays and Sundays.

They have half of windows and doors. But you got to find out when and product change very day. if you have time you find house parts that Mach there period of your house. But I can’t tell you everything cause then you will want to go and buy something I’m looking for.

Living in a house that was built in 1918 and is in a historic district has its responsibilities, specifically keeping the house as true to its original character as possible. It is definitely a labor of love and certainly not a responsibility that all people should take on or would enjoy.
Over the almost 94 years of her life it is clear that not every resident must have felt the same way because while her bones are great she needs some special attention to get her back to her best. We have been systemically updating and redoing the house over time, paying close attention to adding back those final touches that make homes built in this era so special.
The above is a long lead in to this review. When you are in the process of trying to find vintage accents such as doors, built-​ins and fixtures, it can be a daunting task. I was recently turned on to THE GREATEST kept secret in LA, the Habitat for Humanity Restore!!!
The concept behind these stores is the repurpasing and reselling of used household goods, furniture, fixtures and more; a perfect hunting ground for someone looking for a great deal or looking to buy things that you simply cannot find in stores anymore.
Habitat gets their donations from construction companies, contractors, close out merchants and the movie industry. This means that you never know what you will find at any given time.
My current project is replacing the horrible hollow track home doors throughout my house with real wood, period-​appropriate doors. Within a matter of a few hours, visiting the stores in Gardena and Norwalk, I found 11 AWESOME doors, many of them with their antique hardware STILL on them, which can cost you $ 25-​$ 50+ a door alone per door. And, get this? I bought all 11 doors for just around $ 300. Let that sink in…
I don’t think you can get one cruddy new solid wood door for much less than that! So, not only did I accomplish my goal of finding «doors with a soul,» but I did it for a bargain basement price!
Happy hunting!
