Deconstructing takes a longer period of time and is more expensive than just smashing a structure and sending the materials to a land fill, however in most cases it really pays to deconstruct and in more ways than one. Earn a federal tax deduction and save the environment! This 1300 square foot home in San Carlos provided the owners with a $65,000—$85,000 tax deduction and this was after they sold off most of the good stuff on Craig’s list! 
Here are some recent examples of appraised values for homes deconstructed

Non cash charitable contributions in excess of $5,000 must be covered by a complete inventory of the items and be appraised by a qualified appraiser.  Full documentation of all items and a signed IRS Form 8283 is provided for all material contributed.  For a complete understanding and actual impact on your personal income tax liability consult your CPA or your tax attorney. 

Who would have thought thinking about taxes would make one smile?

Contact BACH’s Deconstruction Division and explore the possibilities and benefits of deconstructing rather than just adding to our land fills

BACH
has been building, remodeling and deconstructing homes in the Bay Area since 1999.  With the changes in the economy and the consciousness toward a clean livable environment, recycling is not just in vogue, it’s truly a necessity! 

Reusable resources is our future and it‘s not difficult to start that process now.  We have extended ourselves and become certified for deconstruction of all structures. If this is something that might interest you, please contact us!
