Rife Repurposing & Salvage Company

Rife Restoration a one of a kind shop. Purchased this Chevy truck bar today, looks AWESOME in our basement. Vern at Rife, thank you, you’re the Best for your help in securing it in my truck. I will be back after the new year for that desk we talked about. Thanks again Vern and Eric and Merry Christmas!

We were heading home from a small trip in the North Ga mountains on a Sunday and was wanting to go antiquing. Couldn’t find anything open but landed upon this little gem. It was such a unique surprise. We purchased a repurposed and hand made, unique one of a kind light fixture that goes perfect on our rustic themed back deck. Can’t wait to go back and buy more unique goodies in the future!

Great find! They seem to have a little bit of everything that you can think of and more. Custom, unique pieces ready to go or you can special order what you need. Eric was so helpful and prices were fair. I had him build a mantel for my fireplace to replace the stone one. Too much stone! Came out amazing!

I've known Eric for a long time and he's always had a good eye for thrifting and repurposing things. I live in Illinois but saw that he collected some old camera's and I inquired about 1 of them. Not only did he ship it out the next day it was also well packaged. I will for sure be a customer for years to come and can't wait to actually go down and visit his store to see how far him and his store has come.

what a great location and shop. This store feels like you're walking around inside of Pinterest. They also have a lot of raw goods for doing your own crafts and projects if you want to do that to including large planks of raw wood faced planks.
The owner is super nice and helpful and even threw in a free can of paint with the table that we purchased.

I’ve had the luxury of talking to a few employees, all of which were polite and courteous. Small town, warm, and creative atmosphere, I could walk around in this place and ask 100 questions all day. I absolutely dig that the owner was covered in sawdust and stain, it’s exactly what I expected. He was down to earth and very knowledgeable about antiques. He’s got things in there that have such history. He also custom makes all kinds of things. I advise everyone no matter your age to swing by and give it a glance.

An amazing place to visit for unique one-of-a-kind hard to find items. Need that one piece for a project you have in mind? This is the place to get it. Don't want to create that one of a kind peace but have an idea in your mind? This is the place to go. If they don't have it they'll help you get it and/or will custom create something for you. Everyone who is there is knowledgeable, kind, and very helpful. A must stop on the way into downtown Ball Ground.

The people, location and atmosphere of Rife is incredible. The caliber of their work is nothing short of master carpentry as they can make virtually anything in any range of quality. The owner is hands on and heavily involved. I have bought multiple items in their store over the years and have recently had a kitchen table built and the price is always more than fair. They are professional, friendly, and LOCAL. I don't think I will ever regret spending my hard earned money here.

This is our favorite places in Ball Ground, GA. If you want some cool and different this is the place to find it. We have bought a lot of custom built furniture…barn doors, outdoor table and amazing porch swings! The reclaimed wood and custom furniture is a bonus on top of picking the old finds that change weekly.

If you’re looking for shiny floors and items you can find at Target that everyone in your neighborhood has……this might not be your kind of place.

Love, love, love this place! Eric is an amazing woodworker who takes pride in his work. His custom creations are beautiful and we get so many compliments on every piece he has made for us!

Really cool shop with lots of very interesting finds and treasures....

This place is awesome. People that don’t like man glitter (sawdust) should probably stay away and leave all the awesome stuff for the rest of us. I have several items from this shop and they are all high quality!

I've been a customer for years, never know what you might find on any given day. This place is so unique!
I've walked out of there with rusty treasures, retro pieces and beautiful custom furniture made on sight. My new table is the heart of our new home. Thank you Eric and staff.

Great little shop with a wide variety of picked treasures! I have found many items that I’ve used to complete projects! Super friendly and talented! Their wood projects are awesome!!

Authentic salvage shop. Items, picked, pulled, and found and put on the shelf. Fantastic prices, friendly staff, new items regularly stocked, cool location. They also build awesome custom furniture. It's my favorite place to go hunting for salvaged treasures.

Eric always has a very interesting mix of items. Friendly and knowledgeable. The atmosphere is very cool too. This is a small business that I will support over and over

I love picking thru this place. I wish I were more creative with the items I see here. I love rusty and crusty antiques. They also have a lot of items they have repurposed. There is something new every time I go.

Great shop with lots of interesting items. I bought my cans turned into Halloween characters. The folks who work there are great and so helpful.

Awesome place, great finds, and great owner! Totally check it out!

It was very nice and friendly staff place was clean. Great prices
