Reclaimed Wood Flooring is our mainstay. PDF Print E-mail

Nobody in the industry has more experience in this product nor a more efficient milling system. From start to finish we control the quality and costs. You WILL NOT find a better product or a more reliable supply source anywhere - period!

Along with all the partners in our group, we take down buildings all over the country from Old Whiskey Storage facilities to New York apartment buildings to dairy farms in Washington and bridges in Texas... you name it and we've probably done it.

The majority of the Reclaimed Flooring you buy from us comes from structures that were erected from the 1850's through about the 1940's. At the beginning of WWII, there was a major change in the lumber industry... in order to meet the demands of the war, 2 x 4's were turned into 1-3/4" x 3-1/2" and younger, weaker trees were used. That practice never changed back after the war and this is what you buy from a typical lumber yard today.

Many of the buildings we get our material from have been standing vacant for years or have outlived their usefulness. Buildings from this pre-WWII era were built with OLD GROWTH TIMBER, which means the trees used for the lumber may have been 300-500 years old. These trees cannot be cut down today but, at that time, there seemed to be an abundant supply.

100 Year Old Whiskey Storage Facility - Going, Going, Gone!

100 year old Old Whiskey Storage Facility

Nearly the size of a football field, this facility was dismantled...saving about 500,000 BF of material from the landfill!

We carefully dismantle each structure by hand, saving nearly 100% of the material. Even the bricks and tin roofing sheets are salvaged. With many of the buildings having been put together with bolts rather than nails, there is very little damage to the material during the dismantling phase. The larger beams are usually sold as-is and the other material is milled into flooring or used to create furniture of the highest quality.

 


 

You will LOVE living green...

Resource Conservation GroupBeing “green” is a hot topic right now. Imagine being in a position to help with the environment and at the same time offer warm, inviting flooring filled with character that cannot be duplicated. That is what we offer here at Resource Conservation Group. We offer a full line of reclaimed wood flooring. 

We take apart historic buildings all over the country, piece by piece, carefully maintaining the character and integrity of the wood. We offer multiple grades of hard-to-find historic woods such as reclaimed Oak, Heartpine, and Rustic Douglas Fir. Some woods, such as American Chestnut, can only be found through reclaimed sources.

We've dismantled Old Whiskey Storage Facilities, barns in Wyoming, bridges in Texas! We purchase old buildings and salvage all re-usable lumber.
