DWELLINGS
Becky and Drew Loboda wanted to tear down a 40-year-old home in Mission Hills to make way for the house of their dreams, they decided a wrecking ball was not the way to go. Instead, Becky opted for deconstruction, or the disassembly of a structure in order to salvage materials for reuse. Throughout March and April, more than 12 tons of materials, from cabinets to doorknobs, were extracted from the 2,400-square-foot home, leaving the couple with an empty lot and over $10,000 in tax deductions. Habitat ReStore, a non-profit organization affiliated with Habitat for Humanity of Kansas City, provides unique services like those utilized by the Lobodas to many homeowners throughout the metro area. What sets apart deconstruction from demolition is the difference of hand dismantling opposed to going in with a wrecking ball or sledgehammer. “We use hand tools to methodically disassemble,” says Brian Alferman, program manager for Habitat ReStore. “It’s the exact reverse of construction, as every piece of the house or room is touched by hands. We’ve developed an efficient way of removing material so that it can be reused by someone else in the future.” What that means for the homeowner is that everything is salvaged and sold to the public at bargain basement prices in ReStore’s downtown warehouse, making each item recovered a charitable contribution. This leaves clients with their houses gone or areas cleared,
a hefty 501C3 tax deduction, and a good feeling they’ve done the right thing. “It was so easy for us to decide to use Habitat ReStore’s services,” Loboda reflects. “Since we had no deadline looming, we realized we could take everything apart and put it back to good use, rather than it all ending up in a landfill somewhere. We felt so great about being able to do that.” Though the deconstruction process can take longer than traditional demolition, at anywhere from three to six weeks for an entire house, the perks of competitive rates, saving useable material from landfills, sparing neighborhoods the noise of demolition and support of Habitat for Humanity’s goals outweigh any drawbacks. “Everybody wins with deconstruction, as we reuse and recycle building materials and supplies, providing dramatic environmental, economical and social benefits to our community,” Alferman assures. “Houses are coming down all around the metro area, making room for custom homes. That’s where we come in, to harvest materials and reuse them.” Deconstruction services are not only the answer for entire home projects, as much of ReStore’s work is done in partial jobs, such as dismantling old kitchens, bathrooms, decks or fireplaces, and even tear outs of hardwood floors or drywall. Prior to remodeling, a crew will disassemble an old area to make way for the new. Often the used materials are perfectly good, simply not
Built in the 1900’s, the Lefcheck’s took this once considered “eye sore” of the nieghborhood, and turned it into a beautiful home for their growing family. Keeping to their low budget, they used old materals and restored instead of rebuilding.
Story by Alanya AsmusPhotos by Lauren Hoover When newlyweds, Brian and Kelly Lefcheck decided
to add on to their family by one more, they knew they needed a bigger house. With a limited budget, they bought an old house that just needed some tender loving care. Shopping at the local markets and thrift stores, a new coat of paint, and just a bit of patience, they turned this “eye sore” into a beautiful home.
