ReStore Foothills Habitat For Humanity

Do not shop here! The employees are rude. I’ve had several problems and I’m a frequent shopper who believes in the mission of Habitat. I even used to work for a Habitat in Oregon.

The prices were like a retail store. I went there for some hardware and was shocked at the prices. I have been in other restores and found reasonably priced items but here … Shop at Home Depot and at least you can bring the item back.

Selection of items was more of household thrift store type of used items than construction overstock. Given the picky donation requirements, I was expecting more. I went to the N. 10^th street location on the same day, and much better quality there. Did not find what I was looking for at either location unfortunately.

This is donated stuff not retail. The prices are way to high for used things, Craigslist has better deals than the prices i seen. Never going back

Four stars given the diversity of the items present. There’s a lot of home-​ware items, books and a huge variety of other goods. Yes, it’s a second hand store and you’re not going there for brand new, brand name items.
There’s some items that this place is great for:
— Do you need shelves for that closet and you’re only concern is that they do their job? This place has a wide-​range of shelves and shelving-​items ready to go at a great price. Where they used? Yup but they’re just meant to hold cans of paint, so who cares?
— Speaking of paint, this shop often has gallons and gallons of paint. I don’t know if i would buy second-​hand paint to paint a nursery but it’s probably good for painting the inside of a shed. Or serving as a primer.
I don’t know but I’m sure if you spend a few minutes here you’ll get an idea or two. Or three.
The staff seem pleasant, which is always a plus.
Thanks!

Love this place! Habitat for humanity has nailed it with this model.
I love to stop through just to see what’s new, I always check here first before buying wood or hardware for projects, and It’s a great place to donate any extra building materials. They help the homeless…
The staff isn’t always the friendliest but I figure they may be volunteer so I don’t expect much from em.
Overall this place is really cool.

Went and found a newer skilsaw but when I got home I noticed a few parts missing. (The parts for the model I bought are obsolete) I went back and told the ladies up front if i can exchange it or look for parts for it but i was denied. They told me it was priced accordingly. I price checked before buying but the price I bought it for was slightly less than what it sells for online. They told me to take it or donate it back. Like I would donate it back so they can steal money from someone else who picks it up without the necessary parts. It’s missing key components! Now it’s just sitting in my garage. $ 25 Paperweight.

I really like the Restore on several levels.
I like the fact that old and excess building materials has someplace to live rather than being thrown by the road or in a landfill. I like being able to browse for things that might be useful or interesting in a semi-​climate controlled environment. I like that sometimes they have weird parts or pieces (that I don’t run across at Home Depot or Lowes) to use on my ‘Maker Projects’. I like sometimes stumbling upon a screaming deal on something useful. Finally, I like the fact that buying stuff here supports a worthwhile cause so I don’t feel bad if I buy something that does not turn out as useful or as exciting as anticipated.
This store has a little of everything: Appliances, kitchen cabinets, molding, hand tools, paint, power tools, rolls of carpet, lighting fixtures and parts, tile, wood, doors, miscellaneous hardware, old home electronics items, DVDs, CDs, VHS tapes (?), cassette tapes (??), and occasionally Snow Globes from 26 of the states (plus Coachella and Branson)!
Some items, Snow Globes for instance, may have amazingly cheap prices. Some other prices are just okay. While the hand tools here were previously inexpensive, it seems like there has been some inflation in the last few years.
The hardback book section is huge, and although I seldom buy any (since I am trying to purge my life of physical books), I enjoy browsing and skimming.
Their relatively new space at the end of the building is a nicer environment. It has separate doors for donations versus shoppers, it is larger, seems more open, and has better parking. There is usually sort of a jungle feel from the birds (who fly in the windows) chirping from ceiling fixtures.
You should visit the Restore so you have a feeling for what is there. Something might come in useful.

Everyone we dealt with was rude.

I have shopped at this ReStore for several years. On my most recent trips there, I find their pricing has gone through the roof. My three friends who were with me agreed.
Example: A pretty beat up vintage tall-​boy dresser was priced at over $ 250. In the past you would never find something like that piece priced over $ 100-​$ 125 max. at the ReStore.

Great thrift store the home and construction DIYers out there! Picked up a brand new ceiling fan for 35 $ If you are a Pintrest follower then this might be a good store for you to do some of those crafty projects.

We checked out the ReStore in Roseville today. This place is an awesome find! Their prices are incredible. Their couches and easy chairs are incredibly well-​priced. $ 25 for a used-​but-​still-​useable white leather couch; $ 185 for a brand new, VERY comfortable couch. $ 65 for easy chairs. A gigantic wire dog crate for $ 65 (seriously — Great Dane-​sized crate). An entire wall of used books: $ 1 for paperback, $ 2 for hardback. Area rugs for $ 65ish. Tons of used interior doors, screen doors, windows, bathtubs, some appliances. They also have lots of construction stuff. The people working there were totally friendly and helpful. We will be back monthly to see what they have gotten in!

Unbelievable bargains on home hardware, both new and used. The inventory is constantly changing so you need to plan the occasional visit to see what is in stock. Tile for floors, wood flooring, furniture, hand tools, paint, lighting, like new home and garage cabinets, the occasional home appliance, etc.
Most if not all of the inventory comes from donations. Individuals, builders, suppliers, re-​modelers, contractors, etc., donate overstock and unused items to Restore. Retail stores such as Ace Hardware have donated discontinued merchandise.
Many donations end up being used for Habitat for Humanity’s home programs, but with so much coming in, the Restore shop has a consistently large inventory and variety of home improvement items for just about any project.
Prices are certainly right for what is offered and it’s always a surprise to find a needed item at a bargain price, plus your purchase is helping fund projects to help families that need and deserve a home.
Before heading to your favorite Home Depot or Lowe’s, visit Restore and peruse the bargains.
Located on Industrial Avenue just north of Pleasant Valley Rd. Always plenty of volunteers working to assist in answering any questions or to help with loading your purchases.
