Logs End is a hardwood flooring company with a difference. Instead of only cutting down new-growth trees, we focus on retrieving "lost" timber from the heyday of 19th-century Ottawa Valley logging operations. Many of our logs are recovered through diving operations on the Ottawa River, its tributaries and small lakes.
Properly installed, a Logs End floor will be last for the life of your home - and bring you a lifetime of enjoyment. It is important to assess your site prior to installation of a solid wood wide plank floor. Longer periods may be required for dryer areas.
Atmospheric conditions cause all wood to expand and contract to a certain degree; acclimating the flooring before installation allows the moisture content of the wood to align with the site's "normal living conditions" at the site.To minimize movement, relative humidity should be maintained at 40-55%, year round.

Can't decide on the colour? Purchase samples of any of the finishes below and we will ship them directly to your door. Rift & quarter sawn white oak is one of the most sought-after woods for flooring in design and architecture. Its unique medullary ray and flecking patterns are of unparalleled beauty and the specialized cut of the wood ensures superior stability as it will only shrink in thickness.
You can select and order samples of any of the finishes below. We will reimburse the cost of your hardwood samples if you decide to order your wood flooring from Logs End. Hickory is a beautiful hardwood that is incredibly durable and resistant to every day wear and tear. Hickory is approximately 45% more durable than Red Oak, and is correspondingly much more resistant to dents and scratches.
Order wood samples of any of the finishes below. We will reimburse the cost of your hardwood samples if you decide to purchase your flooring from Logs End. It is milled to 3/4" in thickness and comes in a variety of widths ranging from 3.25" to 9". All of our River Reclaimed Pine comes tongue-and-grooved and end-matched to help provide unparalleled stability.

Bought logs end reclaimed pine flooring about 10 years ago. Within 5 years the floor was obliterated. The tiniest item dropped on the reclaimed pine leaves a scuff and forget about owning a dog. Getting ready to tear it all out and replace it with porcelain tile. The damage is so bad it can't even be resurfaced despite what logs end claims. I will never use logs end flooring ever again and do not recomend it to anyone. Basically 10k down the drain.

First-off, I want to Thank all the previous reviewers for their honest feedback. That helped me shortlist Logs End for an in-person consult.
From the get-go we had a very positive and pleasant experience with Rob and his team. It’s our first hardwood floor, we were so overwhelmed with the process. Rob made it so comfortable. We had few ideas but we didn’t know what wood will work for us. Rob helped and gave suggestions, listened to us. We went with Red Oak and we are loving it!
We had thought of putting the wood only on our main level, in the end we got it done for the entire house, except

My husband and I had a very tight window to have new flooring installed due to quick closing dates. We needed to have old carpeting removed to accommodate a family member with respiratory illness. We didn’t think it was possible to have hardwood installed due to the time constraint, but Rob and the Logs End team made it happen and we couldn’t be happier! From start to finish, we always felt like we were in good hands with Logs End. You could tell that the whole team goes the extra mile to ensure the job is done right and on time. It is evident

Have had the Engineered French Cut Oak installed throughout our main floor. Absolutely love the character in the floor. Low sheen hides imperfections from our dog and little one. Next step is to complete the basement in the same floor! The installers were excellent! Very happy!
