My name is Becca Sharp and I am the owner and founder of Radically Reclaimed.
I come from a long career in advertising sales. I am a thrift shopper and saver of all things. I am constantly looking for a good deal for a home improvement project or new decorating style. I am a mother of 4 grown children and a proud Gigi to 4 grandkids. I have always wanted to own my own business but never really knew how to make a difference or impact my community. I have always been networked but was having a hard time, seeing a future with the industry I had landed in and was desperate to get out of corporate America! It was in 2020 when I bought my current house that I stumbled upon this concept.
I was in the market for LOTS of upgrades to the house and had a limited access to materials during the pandemic. Overnight we saw prices of wood double and triple due to scarcity and transportation costs. I needed a fence to keep my German Shepard close by and realized what I had budgeted months before the outbreak, was NOT going to be enough. I search for USED cedar panels and low and behold, I got that fence for PRE PANDIMIC pricing. Not only did I save money but I got those fence panels moved out of that warehouse for the sellers.
I quickly began to realize that so many people are constantly doing home remodeling, clean outs, or commercial resale properties that the contents of those places is basically just trash since no one has time to mess with that stuff.
I also did research in LANDFILL contents and learned that 80% of landfill is construction based. WOW! What were we doing ??? Throwing all this stuff away when all that was needed was a WOMAN….to connect the two dots. So; I started this company.
Now, I get to use those same connections I had, run business MY way and help save the planet all at the same time!
