It's doors doors doors at the Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity ReStore, the discount home furnishings store at 2800 N. Hampton Rd., thanks to a charitable donation from Perry Homes, a major Dallas-area homebuilder.
Habitat for Humanity ReStores is a chain of home goods and hardware stores that sell new and donated items on discount, with a constantly-changing inventory of furniture, appliances, building materials, lighting, and home decor at up to 90 percent off retail price.
It's a favorite for homeowners, landlords, contractors, interior designers, and recyclers who prefer to re-use rather than buy new. Lighting is always expensive and they often have amazing fixtures, from places like hotels that have undergone renovations or stores that have closed, at discount rates.
In Dallas there are also stores in Lake Highlands, Garland, and Walnut Hill/North Dallas.
Perry Homes donated more than 400 new garage doors, valued at almost $500,000, to support Dallas Habitat’s mission to provide safe, affordable housing for families throughout the community.
The garage doors are valued at $1,000 or more each, but will be sold for 70 percent off. Models include
According to a spokesperson from Perry Homes, they became available following shifts in the company's supply chain during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"Rather than allowing this inventory to go unused, we saw a meaningful opportunity to support local families and further strengthen our ongoing partnership with Habitat for Humanity," the spokesperson says.
Perry Homes has an ongoing partnership with the Dallas Area for Habitat for Humanity that includes projects such as the recent Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build Dallas 2025 project, in which the organization spends a day building a home for a local Dallas family.
In addition to selling the doors, Dallas Area Habitat For Humanity can use them on future builds.
