Launch
A real marketplace
for real materials.
Right now, used construction materials in Chicago move through Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and the back of a contractor's truck. Reclaim consolidates the supply in one place — searchable, categorized, with condition grades you can trust.
- ✓ Sellers: list once, no listing fees, get paid via direct deposit.
- ✓ Buyers: filter by category, condition, location, and price.
- ✓ Local pickup so you can inspect before you commit.
Listing formats
Three ways to list, built for the job site.
Whether you've got one door or a whole gut-job's worth of materials, there's a format that fits.

Full project
For contractors stripping a whole site. Batch-upload every salvageable item from your phone — categorized, priced, and grouped under one project. Tied together by location, so buyers can pick up everything in one trip.
Condition grading
One language for what you're buying.
Used materials carry uncertainty. A shared grading system fixes that — sellers list with confidence, buyers know what they're getting.
Excellent
Install-ready. Fully functional with minimal cosmetic wear. No cracks, warps, or missing parts.
Example: Solid oak door with original finish, minor surface scuffs only.
Good
Functional with visible wear. May need refinishing, cleaning, or replacement hardware before install.
Example: Tempered glass panel, one chipped corner, structurally sound.
As-Is
For parts, restoration, or rough-use applications. Wear and damage fully disclosed in photos.
Example: Cast iron radiator, surface rust, functional but needs work.
How it works
Built for two sides of the same trade.
For sellers
Turn job-site material into cash.

From the founder
I've watched perfectly good doors, sinks, cabinets, and lumber go straight to the landfill on every job site I've worked. There's a buyer for almost all of it, but they just can't find them. Reclaim is the place they can.
