Used to come here for used stuff because the prices were ok but it seems management has changed and so has the prices. So instead of paying used prices for used stuff now you can give them new item prices for used stuff.

This place is worth looking if you need any contruction materials. They have a large selection of both old and new things. We got great deals on tile for a bathroom remodel.

A place with a great mission, you get to clear your residence of excess construction and other recycled materials, and you receive credit for a tax donation - Thanks LD!

Its hit or miss, depending on whats been donated, but this place should definitely be on your list for materials for projects-check what they have before heading to a retail place.

Its a personal preference location...I found nothing of interest and I think the prices were a bit extreme for used an dated throw away and donated appliances, fixtures, cabinets, etc.Junk yard...dump yard!

This place is the best for actual things you need to remodel and for art projects. Blows Second Chance out of the water (they’ve gotten so expensive, but Loading Dock prices are perfect). The people working there are knowledgeable and super nice. Cannot recommend highly enough.

The Loading Dock is my go to place if you want to save a few bucks. Im turning my basement into an apartment on a budget. Ive found some good stuff so far at The Dock, today I brought 5- bi-fold doors, a gallon of paint and floor tile all for under $100. I probably would have paid close to $300 elsewhere. Check it out!

Great spot for home improvement or mending material. Nothing new but all still workable material for the entire home! GREAT prices for things if you dont mind gently used. Great staff who are all helpful, friendly, and knowledgable. You have to be a member to purchase ($10.00 for a year so not bad at all and not automatically renewable) but its well worth it. Chances are, theyll have what you need! Highly recommend and will be returning often!

Random deals on recovered, repurposed and reused building supplies. You never quite know what youll find here! Significant improvements over the last year or two. Parking lot repaved, better organized parts/supplies inside. Generally great deals on stuff...

Review №27

Came to find ceramic tile for a bathroom project and EVERYBODY was helpful! They all pointed me to AL who must have been the main tile guy. He helped my uncle and me figure out how much tile we needed for the job and was honest when I asked what he thought about coordinating the different tile options! Very knowledgeable! The folks at the cashier showed customer service too! Definitely going back!

Besides having to pay a 10.00 annual membership fee for two vhs tapes, it was a really cool place and a nice experience. I dont like membership fees because not everyone will be able to afford even 10 dollars after all it is suppose to be a place where people that dont have a whole lot of money can go and buy supplies for remodeling their homes. But I loved it and I love the people.

Review №31

The Loading Dock is a great resource for new and used building materials, fixtures, doors, windows and especially ceramic tile. This place saves so much landfill space by selling excess material at a reasonable cost. It pays to check in regularly. Subscribe to their weekly email blast, check them out on Craigslist.

I love The Loading Dock, I will say if you see something you want get it right then and there because if you come back it will be gone. The loading dock is like a hit or miss but I always find the things I want, you might have to visit a couple of times if your looking for something particular but you will find it here. They do pick up items you would like to donate, prices are incredibly LOW especially being that some items are very hard to find.

Review №33

I love The Loading Dock. You can find everything from cans of screws to cabinets for the whole kitchen. Carpet squares, paint and doors, even furniture and windows round out the pickings. More than reasonably priced compared to NEW prices elsewhere. A bargain is always found. You do need a $10 membership card which supplies you & a friend or family member with a years worth of bargain hunting & or buying.

As with any of the building selvage stores, you never know what you are going to get here. Loading Dock doesnt have the volume or the footprint of Second Chance, but it does better on prices. Their tile selection tends to be larger, and every time Ive been there, they have had scads of carpet tiles. Other materials? Most of the time you are looking at nothing special... But if you want a random selection of hard wood floors to put on a wall, they will have what you need at a better price than Second Chance.If you go to Second Chance and leave with cabinets for your kitchen, you might go to Loading Dock and leave with cabinets for your garage. On the other hand, if you are in the market for a circle bathtub, today is your lucky day: Loading Dock has one.Today, we left with underlayment material for our new floors. Didnt know that was what we were going to get when we walked in the door, but there it was and thats one thing we dont have to go to Home Depot for anymore. If you are driving to Baltimore, it is worth venturing a little further on your selvage mission to see what you might find here.

Review №47

A great place. A true salvage yard and not a place for TV shows to buy over priced set pieces. I come to places like this in order to save money not spend money. The staff is great, especially the charming cashier. Its nice to support a well run place like this that lets you save money while supporting a good cause.

I have done so much with the products from the Loading Dock. I remodeled my bathroom, kitchen. I installed new hardwood floors. I used many items for craft projects. There is even a stop for free items such a broken tiles that I have taken advantage of. This is the creative persons dream warehouse. I highly recommend having a look here when starting a new renovation project, youll save a load of money.

Warehouse full of building materials. Very easy to spend a few hours just looking around. The only downside is the $10 annual membership, but depending what you need its worth it.

Awesome place to get building materials. Seems like a bad part of town but dont let that deter you from the great deals you can find. Only a $10 fee per year and you dont have to pay it until you are going to actually buy something.

The Loading Dock has everything and plenty of kitchen sinks. There are light fixtures, chandeliers, bolts, golf clubs, doors, windows, paint, stain, appliances, and plenty of other materials for any DIY project.Staff is polite and will ask you if you need help and will also help transport heavy items.The cost of a membership is reasonable and you can add a 2nd person to your account. If you go one day and see something you might want, buy it, because its not likely to be there when you come back.Groups of large items like doors, tile, cabinets, and bathroom hardware are easy to find, and the doors are marked and have measurements and prices on the side. Prices are fair, though not every item is marked, so you wont know how much some things cost without taking it up to the register or asking.Buying small items like screws are harder to find, especially if you need a specific size. Make sure to bring a pair of gloves if you want to sift through boxes of odds and ends, and keep hand sanitizer in your car for when youre finished shopping.

I have been going to the Loading Dock for years. I have found many great deals there. I now realize that it was most surely the location of 2 different debit and credit cards getting pinched. If I find I have no chose but to go there. I will only use cash. Buyer beware.

Plenty of used and recycled building materials as well as bric-a-brac. Lots of items to be re-purposed. It is free to bring in items but to purchase you have to pay an annual membership fee ($10). I guess they sell enough they can be selective to whom they sell. It seems to me they would want to unload some of that stuff, member or not.
