came here to get a large hardwood slab to make a live edge table. This place is like Disney World for reclaimed wood. There's 3 acres of really interesting lumber, slabs, scraps, etc. to browse through. I could've spent all day here if my wife didn't give me a time limit (so sad). There are also some pieces of furniture built from reclaimed wood, as well as helpful finished sample scraps so that you can see the color and grain of different types of wood after they've been sanded and finished (if you're a noob, finished wood looks nothing like it does as raw lumber).
I have extremely thin woodworking experience so I had a million questions for these guys. They were patient and full of really great expertise. I didn't feel like I was talking to salesmen. I felt like I was talking to carpenters and people who really just enjoyed making beautiful stuff with wood. We talked about my project and what kind of look I was going for. They helped me narrow down to a few species of wood that would work best for me, and gave me lots of useful tips.
they also have full service custom table making if you don't want to DIY. complete with custom made steel bases. or you can have them do part of the work. we just paid to have them use their CNC machine to flatten our slab (saved us from building a router sled and making a huge mess in our garage).
great selection of sustainable wood, and the best part is their stellar staff and service!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Craig N.San Ramon, CA02712May 16, 2023Updated review

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure to work with Christian who showed us around and helped us pick out the perfect reclaimed wood beam for the fireplace we are having installed. Christian also walked us through the refinish process as I wanted to finish the beam on my own. We were also able to view some of the finished beams/reclaimed wood and they were all beautiful. These guys are true craftsmen and know what they're doing. I highly recommend Heritage Salvage and their awesome Team and will definitely be back for any future projects, thank you so much Christian!!

Take Heritage to another level. Clean it up. Get rid of the debris, weeds and junk especially around fence lines bordering residential homes. Remove the boneyard and playground as they attract the debris.

I love this place. It still is the best place to wander and find that piece of ancient weathered wood for that special project, or a beautiful rusty piece to put on the wall or out in your garden. They still have the nicest people in the world working there. I recently did a walking tour with Ross Friedrich, and this guy has a passion for finding wood that can be repurposed into an incredible piece of furniture or help something outside make a statement. I always spend about an hour looking at everything they have. I was even fortunate enough to have a visit from Michael "Bug" Deakin this time. If you look at my pics I have a photo of a painted caricature of him. He was a hoot. You should know everyone that works there act like family. They look so happy there. Still at the top of my visit list for Petaluma.

I was greeted and chatted with Heather, a very nice lady (With the cutest baby). They sell vintage wood of all kinds. all old and seasoned for your special needs. Whether building a house, siding, floors, interiors, decorating, furniture, it's a museum/showcase. I wandered for an hour marveling at the pieces. What a delight. And old beautiful rusty things for in house or garden. (See my pictures). Visit these guys. It's worth the trip.

Excellent customer service. When they weren't able to directly supply a flooring material, Pagene took my phone number and called me back to refer me to another supplier who had the material.

We have always had great service here and the quality of wood available is phenomenal. Each member of staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help. Great live edge options both pre-made and for DIY projects. Finally, pricing can vary. We got a great deal on our mantle piece at only $25 given we did the sanding, staining and install. But we spent just over $1,000 for a live edge table slab that they sanded, leveled and split for us. Both worth every penny and then some.

Ok I cannot be happier with the service I got from this salvage yard! I am blanking one her name but the woman who runs the grounds there was incredible!! A few months back my husband and I came there to get a beam for our mantle. She walked the entire lot with us and showed so much care in what she was doing. After lots of looking we found the perfect beam!!!! I could not thank her enough!

I was searching for a unique, rustic "barn door" to complete my master bath remodel project. After looking at all of the products online and visiting several local stores, I simply couldn't find anything that really "spoke" to me in terms of the design, finish and price. The barn doors that I did find, were all out of state and fairly pricey and the risk for buying out of state was too high. I did some digging online and the only "local" option seemed to be a custom barn door created by Heritage Salvage in Petaluma, CA. Although a 1 1/2 hr drive, I was willing to make the trek to check them out.
From the first phone call with Teresa, to the visit onsite with the crew, Lisa and Teresa helped me locate and design the most beautiful reclaimed chicken coop flooring and turned it into a master piece. Knowing that I was on a super tight timeline to get the door completed before my husband arrived home from overseas, these gals exceeded my expectations tenfold. I'm so pleased with the outcome and this piece is now one of the main signature pieces to my master bedroom and bathroom design. Best of all, it makes for an incredible story as well. ( I raise chickens too!)
Thank you Heritage Salvage. I'll be back for more inspiration!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
