I love being able to donate usable leftover building supplies here, instead of having to pay the garbage guys to toss them into a landfill. Im so glad people are able to find and make good use of them here.

Review №2

Completely void of ANY customer service here. I have bought 1000’s of $$ here and donate to them just about every month. The ONE time I buy some thing that doesn’t work I cannot trade it for some thing else! I know this is your policy but maybe you can ask ‘are you a loyalty member’ and look at my account and see how many things I’ve bought over and over and over. And they told me there’s a coupon for 20% off from when I have donated over and over. I’ve never seen this coupon. I have bought over and over and never received one of these coupons off, I’ve only ever received the normal promotion that’s happening. Again there’s other solutions than just being a hard a$$ and being a complete butt when you’ve got a loyalty customer standing in front of you!!

I have shopped here for several years and have loved coming here. I ALWAYS found stuff that I could use at a fair price, and have spent a lot of $ here. However, after the “Great Clean Up” of 1999/2000, everything is overpriced! Seriously, many items are cheaper at Menard’s down the block! I will come in, and leave empty handed due to a feeling of being “taken” buying donated goods. ReStore needs to get back to their original mission, not maximum profit possible. BTW I have also donated heavily to the store!

Not sure why I come here anymore. Some items are cheaper at big box hardware stores. Today, the guy taking donations at the back was rude and seemed annoyed to be there. Maybe mandated to volunteer? If so then I guess I understand. I like the cause, but wish the pricing reflected the quality.

Review №12

So I had read the reviews and then my husband and I went to the store and They really dont have much to offer at all. Most of the people the had reviewed this store is right.. Their pricing is off the charts like too high for things that are half damaged. You can go to Facebook market and find things cheaper. Never going back. Sorry. Not much to offer.

Well organized. Good supply of different product. Prices are a bit high on some things. They do offer discounts so watch for those. Great supply of replacement Windows. Unfortunately, I need new construction :( I visited 3 restores this week. I liked this restore the best. Great lighing. Some things werent marked for price. I did look at the paint. Hard to know what is in those cans as most of the ones i looked at had no color. Nah, I wont be buying surprise paint!

This is the place u need to go to before u go to Home Depot or Lowe’s or menards. U will save hundreds of dollars. I got my new outlet covers here for a $1 each. And a snow shower for $6. And a dresser and a high top chair for my kitchen for less than $85. I’m so happy.

Management has bed and breakfast sale tables chairs, cabinets, bedroom beds and tables,dining room table, chairs, cabinets at 30% off! The only problem is the manager called a buffet table a hutch? We disagreed with his description of the table, he responded rudely its a hutch so no discount while walking away from us, very unprofessional, and rude, and probably falls into the fraud category.

Good place for used home improvement items. Great service, donations, and great variety of items. Prices have become a little pricey over the years. Gave them 4 stars due to their volunteer work. I recommend volunteering just for the experience. Keep up the great work.

Restore has a lot of odds and ends for the home renovator. Left overs from projects, a few of these and thats. If you dont mind used cabinets they seem to have some nice choices that vary all Id the time. My find... a really sturdy wood chair for $25. Perfect for some artistic painting seems a bright new cushion for my porch.

Some very good bargains at this location. it s hard to go there and not pick up something useful that you would pay 3 or 4 times more at other stores. Yes some stuff is used but occasionally you can find new stuff for much less.

Mostly filled with items that were from a hotel or motel. A decent selection on some items, but you need to watch the pricing... Make sure you open up your door and hinge. Still, theres some nice gems here.

Hard to go to this store and not pick up something for your kitchen or bathroom. I am not interested in the furniture as much but I like the kitchen and bathroom accessories . Also a great variety of light fixtures and bulbs. Very good prices too.

Me and my family shop here on a regular basis. We love all the great deals and the DIY project ideas given to us by the employees and volunteers. Everyone is really helpful and friendly. Its a great place to shop. Its also good to know that all the money they make from our purchases goes to our local Habitat for Humanity.I suggest you stop in and check it out.

Always a great place to find a bargain on building supplies, furniture and even tools. If you are into upcycling, or want to start; or if you just want to help the great mission at Habitat for Humanity, stop by and see what treasures you can find at Restore. You wont be sorry.

Great place to find home improvement projects on a budget. Since this place is based off donations, you never know what you may find. This can be considered good or bad depending on what youre looking for. Overall, its fun to go to these places and see whats for sale.

Its very good for what it is. you can get some decent buys on things you need sometimes but not always it depends upon what they get in. And all the people who work there are volunteers who I have found to be helpful.Anyone who gets upset about the service needs to get their head out of their arse and find the door.

I can recommend this store to all doit yourselfers who need material and hardware to create something cool. The used furniture section is always interesting. Allow yourself time to shop or you may not find the good stuff.

Review №67

The management and staff here needs a SERIOUS attitude adjustment. Especially Juan (the manager) and Miguel, the electrical guy. They treat you like an idiot and have no interest in helping their customers. Its all about selling things their way, at astoundingly high prices no less. Dont waste your time with these clowns. Youll likely come out ticked off, empty-handed, or both.

Review №68

Never quite sure what had been donated for purchase. Prices arent always as low as Id like but it is for charity. Great place to donate lots of stuff that I might have tossed because Goodwill wouldnt be the place to give used or even unused building materials.

Since I moved to Naperville I have frequented the Restore. Have done many DIY project thanks to items purchased here. Always a good variety and is well organized. Frequently have 30, 40 or 50% off sales and a good selection of items. People are always friendly and happy to help. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to save some money for any home projects.

Review №77

They are always very friendly and help us lift heavy things. I like that you can pay for an item and come pick it up later. There is a sign that SAYS they dont negotiate on prices but they have a few times for us. My crafty daughter loves this place because she Vann find used building materials, tools, pallets and pvc at great prices for her many projects. Inventory changes regularly, so if you see an item at a good price, you should buy it up quickly because they may not have it again for a long time.

A lot of useful things if you are remodeling. Items are definitely used and not always in the best of shape but if dont mind putting in the work to get them back into shape it might be worth it.. Pricing is a little on the high side .

Review №82

Poor selection, rude staff. Goodwill and Salvation Army are cleaner, less expensive, and easier to purchase from.Expensive for things that arent broken, cheap for very broken/very damaged things. Dont get me wrong, I like to upcycle and fix. But when its $250 for a very scratched table thats only $300 brand new, I get a little iffy. And when its $30 for a cabinet that is disintegrating from water damage, has no handles or top, and the doors have snapped off at the inside hinges, I get *very* iffy.Staff is intensely rude. You have to track them down when you need anything, and there are always too few floor employees. They always act like youre bothering them because you want to make a purchase, but theres no way to buy an item without an employees help. Theyre also very disorganized. Today we visited, and I was scolded for wanting to purchase a kitchen cart without a top. It wasnt marked as not for sale, and it was on the selling floor, but no, apparently its being given a top by an employee (despite being in the area of items for sale). It wasnt for sale, I was told with much scolding. Nice customer service there.Its a shame. They used to be quite good and reasonable, but I dont think well be going back again. Back to CraigsList, Salvation Army, and Goodwill. I dont like being insulted by employees and by quality-to-price ratios.

I read the reviews before I went. Had to laugh as I entered the store and noticed the chilly reception from the cashier. She seemed annoyed that I walked in. Thought it was just me. Til I was almost run down by a guy with a dolly bringing in more furniture. He was quite irritated that I was in the way. Great selection but very rude employees. Every habitat store Ive been to the staff were great. Not so here. Makes a big difference. lol. I will stick to one that Im allowed to ask questions and walk around freely.

I am being generous with the one star! The people who work there are soooooooooooo rude! The manager, I can only assume (he acts like he is) is so disrespectful to the people who come there to shop. He is very curt, and loud. If this company is looking to help people out, then they need to hire staff who make customers feel welcome.

NEVER DONATE, SHOP, VOLUNTEER OR WORK AT THIS PLACE. If i could give this place no stars I would. I went to this place to at attend their orientation for volunteers 5/7/16. When i arrived the first person I ran into to ask about the meeting was this lady who looked of Latin descent with black hair and stood about 59. She was not friendly, rude rather. I brushed it off, thinking maybe it was just me. About 5 minutes later this Caucasian lady with sandy colored hair who stood close to the same height as the other lady and seemed to be pregnant. She seemed to have a more pleasant demeanor. She took the orientation group of about 4 people to the back office and sat us down in chairs. I happened to be sitting in front of one of their computers. As the lady was speaking going over details, some guy who is about medium weight size, stands about 59 with loose salt and pepper colored hair he looks more of Spanish descent. I wish i knew all thier names so i could state them. He stands next to my chair, than rudely exasperated for the whole room to hear. He than says to me, I quote move. Just like that as if hes talking to an animal. I turn to him and say sorry thinking I misheard. He than says again with the same tone move. So I say to him, do you know how to ask politely? The Caucasian lady than says to me thats our front end manager. You can leave! I asked wait, I have to leave? She says yea, you can leave. I got up and said wow, you guys are very disrespectful. As I was walking out of the room the guy says all I said was move.If this is supposed to be a place that helps people in need why do the staff have no people skills. I feel sorry for the staff who work under them and the customers who have to deal with them. I cant believe there are businesses that support this sort of behavior.I will be contacting this companys president, and posting this all over the web. This situation can be interpreted many ways, especially discriminatory by name. NEVER DONATE, SHOP, VOLUNTEER OR WORK AT THIS PLACE!
