It can be tough to find companies that make and/or distribute reclaimed wood flooring. For one, reclaimed wood is not a big enough business to warrant more than the occasional brick-and-mortar store. In the online world. Also reclaimed wood's imperfect character doesn't easily compete with the neatly bundled wood flooring favored by the majority of consumers. Lumber Liquidators might sell distressed or faux reclaimed flooring, but it is doubtful if it will ever sell the real product.

This is a list of the most reputable reclaimed flooring suppliers who offer their product to retail customers and who will ship at least throughout the U.S.

    Aged Woods

    This Pennsylvania-based reclaimed wood supplier most definitely ships: all throughout the U.S. and, according to their site, Israel, Singapore, England, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and presumably any other international destination.

    Reclaimed engineered wood flooring may sound like an oxymoron, but Aged Woods has just that: 3 mm of reclaimed antique wood laid over a nine-layer substrate of plywood. Like other prefinished floorings, this product receives seven coats of aluminum oxide finish. The beauty of reclaimed wood with the practicality of engineered flooring.

    Elmwood Reclaimed Timber

    Elmwood is based in Peculiar, Missouri, a small community just south of Kansas City. Odds are with you that you'll find just the kind of reclaimed flooring you want; after all, Elmwood has one of the biggest selections of reclaimed wood around.

    Like other companies in the industry, Elmwood's mainstay is with high-profile commercial projects (The Gap, L.L. Bean, Starbucks, and more like that), but they also do supply the residential market. For the truly authentic look, you can even get antique cut nails, tin, and stone from them.

    Prices aren't listed because products change so frequently. But get on their mailing list for the latest prices.

    Jarmak Corporation

    Jarmak has the right pedigree: offices and lumberyard both in Massachusetts and a sawmill in Pennsylvania.

    Jarmak has a number of the popular standbys of the reclaimed wood industry, like antique barn oak and heart pine. But you'll also find items unique to Jamak like their reclaimed Boston Harbor White Oak, which was "harvested from decaying buildings along Boston’s waterfront," according to their site. 

    And if you're tired of seeing those commodity floors with boards that seem to be little more than 3 inches long, you'll be happy to know that Jarmak also offers reclaimed wood flooring in lengths up to 16 feet for their Harbor Oak.

    Most of Jarmak's wood is between 200 and 500 years old, and they select wood from historic industrial buildings across the U.S. As with other reclaimed wood companies, their product line is continually changing, so be sure to check in frequently to see what's new at Jarmak.

    Reclaiming the Past / Green Family Materials

    Tennessee-based Reclaiming the Past, also known as Green Family Materials, began when 13-year-old Tom Green, Jr. helped his father demolish a building in West Point, Mississippi. The rest, as they say, is history. It also helps to have a family name that fits well with their eco-friendly mission.

    Green Family Materials does way more than supply reclaimed flooring—they have tin and barn siding, beams, brick, and more). But they're still most proud of their antique heart pine, oak, maple, and barn wood reclaimed floors.

    Diana Younts of Green Family Materials says that her company most assuredly ships within the Continental United States—as well as Hawaii, Europe, and perhaps any other place where there may be a willing buyer for unique/antique flooring.

    Sylvan Brandt

    Like Aged Woods, Sylvan Brandt is another reclaimed wood flooring mill and distributor located in Pennsylvania. Begun in 1960 by founder Sylvan Brandt, this company is now run by son Dean and takes on the multi-pronged job of locating, pulling, milling, and distributing reclaimed wood floor. And yes, according to representative Genna Antes, Sylvan Brandt does ship all throughout the United States.

    One nice thing is that much of its flooring is actually derived from flooring: the attics of historic homes. So the surface you see is the original surface. One line from their site sums it up well: "[W]e don't offer perfection, but rather the beauty of imperfection."

    The Woods Company

    The Woods Company began when Barry Stup first observed barns in Maryland and Pennsylvania built with chestnut, "one of the rarest and beautiful native hardwoods," according to the company site. Stup decided that this commodity was too valuable to waste, and so he began The Woods Company.

    If you're looking for a wide range of products, you'll find it here: stair parts, white, yellow, and heart pines, and even reclaimed engineered flooring (species: oak, walnut, and heart pine).
