This show and story are all about one person’s incredible and very compelling story. Why did Steve Feldman start Green Demolitions and then Renovation Angel? Because he wanted to “give back” after his life was given back to him. He is a recovered addict whose life was saved 27 years ago through an addiction recovery program. He was a teenage drug and alcohol abuser raised in Poughkeepsie, New York and suffered two bouts of serious suicidal depression before he got his recovery. And give back he has. Renovation Angel. Simply put, Renovation Angel provides professional luxury kitchen removal and effortless recycling. If your kitchen qualifies as a luxury kitchen, Renovation Angel provides you with the entire upside: full tax deduction and savings, professional insured removal, packing and transport and disposal cost savings! The “goods” are then recycled and sold to homeowners from all over the world. Talk about the Green Trifecta! Owners/purchasers win, Renovation Angel’s carefully selected charity partners win and Mother Earth wins. Want to hear how it all works? So do I so plan to learn with me.
