The average cost of reclaimed wood is $10- $12 per square foot but could be as much as $20 per square foot. Reclaimed wood surprisingly costs more than new lumber.

Since reclaimed wood has endured decades of exposure to heat and cold, it's gone through many cycles of expansion and contraction, which strengthen and cause it to be more "stable." This means the wood is less prone to warping and a lot less likely to split.

Reclaimed wood is unique in that it offers ageless distinction and beauty. It's also unparalleled in terms of its architectural quality. Every piece is different and cannot be replicated. Reclaimed wood has so much character, and its age only brings out its allure, depth and color even further.

Reclaimed wood tends to be stronger, more durable, and of generally higher-quality than the rushed, mass-produced materials often found today.
