If you’re in Atlanta and staring down high prices on kitchen remodels or bathroom updates, let me tell you—there’s a better way. Hop in the car and head northeast for about two hours (around 119 miles on a straightforward interstate route) and you’ll pull into Fort Payne, Alabama, right at Dixie Salvage. Folks from Atlanta make this trip all the time, and they leave saying it was 100% worth every mile.

Here’s the deal: Dixie Salvage isn’t your typical big-box store. Since 1996 we’ve been the go-to spot in Northeast Alabama for discount building supplies—think “B” grade materials, manufacturer overstocks, buy-backs, insurance claims, and closeouts that we pass on to you at a fraction of retail. Our inventory changes weekly, so you never know what you’ll find, but you can count on killer deals on kitchen cabinets, custom-cut laminate countertops (Wilsonart and Formica in hundreds of colors), hardwood and luxury vinyl flooring, interior and exterior doors, vanities, tubs, showers, wood siding, and even unique furniture and iron pieces for that perfect finishing touch.

Imagine walking out with everything you need for your project and still having money left in your pocket. Customers tell us the savings on just one kitchen alone more than pays for the gas and then some. Plus, it’s a nice little escape from Atlanta traffic—scenic drive, fresh mountain air, and a shopping experience that actually feels fun instead of frustrating.

We’re located at 3630 Gault Ave N, Fort Payne, AL 35967. Open Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 7:30 a.m. to noon. Give us a call at 256-845-5475 if you want to check on something specific before you head out, or swing by our Facebook page for the latest “Deals of the Day.”

Next time you’re thinking about a home project, skip the Atlanta markups and make the short trip to Dixie Salvage. You’ll be glad you did.
