St. Salvage

Came here during a trip back in December ’14 and saw this place while walking along Division. We walked in and Francis was super nice and helpful. He answered all of our questions and gave us a good idea of what to expect. The idea of the customized marquee lettering was super unique so we decided to come back in July and get them done. We called Francis in advance to make an appt to choose the letters. Again, very helpful and nice.
After agonizing over what words and colors to choose, we are TOTALLY happy with the end result. We saw a bunch of other stores selling crappy mass produced individual letters for $ 20 – 50 each but his craft is far superior than the pre-​fabricated stuff.
He’s a one-​man show, so you should be realistic about timing and don’t expect him to rush as he’s in high demand. Awesome job Francis!

Wanted to do a quick photoshoot for some friends and offered to buy some letters. The woman was so rude and upset we decided not to do the shoot. They were only interested in how much you would spend, and otherwise could care less about you. Just a bitter woman. I normally don’t review at all, but felt compelled to.

This guy makes awesome marquee letters at a great price! The man was super nice and helpful. We even got to see the project he was currently working on, and saw how it is assembled! You can buy the letters as is, or he can do them up with lights and fresh paint!

While the items in the store are quite unique these people are so extremely rude. I would never go back there.

I have purchased a cool retro couch, 1940’s medical cabinet, and neat steel mesh basket for my dining room table. I keep coming back because of the quality of the items and the care and knowledge put into restoring them. Great store!
