Designers, architects and builders worldwide consider Goodwin’s Antique River-Recovered® Heart Pine and Heart Cypress as well as our Antique Legacy Heart Pine® are the premier choices in hardwood flooring and paneling.

This is no empty claim: Goodwin’s antique river-recovered® floors have been featured in U.S. News & World Report, Architectural Digest, Florida Design, Southern Living Magazine, Fine Homebuilding, Country Home, This Old House and many other national publications.

River-recovered® antique wood does cost more than average flooring, but that’s because it’s not average. Because it’s original-growth and was preserved underwater, it’s stronger, healthier and more beautiful than other woods. Because it is rich and rare, it also adds value over time. When shopping, consider that it never wears out, is easier to maintain, is recommended for those with allergies. Best of all, it adds tremendous character, warmth and authenticity to your most important environment.

Flooring prices range from $5 to $30 per square foot, depending on the wood, grade and specifications you choose.

The most common choices for milling are listed below. For further information, please contact a Goodwin Heart Pine representative.

The supplies of this rich lumber are limited and our production quality demands that we follow every step in the manufacturing process. We stock some of the most popular widths and may be able to fill your order within one to two weeks. The standard production schedule, however, from air-dried lumber to finished wood flooring is four to five weeks.
