“Denny, I value AMHF and the relationship with you and the entire Hickman family. The manner in which you approach people, business and your products is first class and with the utmost integrity. We have enclosed for you a picture of the rift & quarter sawn white oak you supplied for us. As you can see, it turned out beautifully. We look forward to doing business with you in the future!”

“Barnum Floors can only say positive comments about Allegheny Mt & the Hickman family. We have been purchasing their flooring for the last 15 years where we obtain all our plank, Rift & Quartered & Livesawn lumber at competitive prices. The wood is exceptional ~ milled and kiln dried to perfection. We have never had a challenge associated with any flooring and receive top-notch service from both the office and the mill. Highly recommend you give them a try. You will not be disappointed.”

“I have been purchasing my unfinished Hardwood Flooring from Allegheny Mountain for some time now. In my opinion no one does it better. Their quality is second to none. Their passion for what they do shows through every step of the way, from Jessica in Sales and Pat in the yard. They are pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend their products to anyone looking for FSC certified beautiful flooring. Their Quarter and Rift Sawn White Oak is what I have in my own house and it looks better each day!”

” I’ve purchased AMHF for several projects and I’m always blown away at how nice their floors look when I’m done. The milling quality of their flooring is superb. Their grading is spot-on; what you see in their photo gallery is what you get. Their live-sawn is a truly unique product in the hardwood flooring industry. I’ve purchased both red oak and white oak in RQ and you won’t find any plain-sawn flooring mixed in (unlike some other manufacturers). I also like purchasing my flooring from a small, family-owned company. I’ve had the opportunity to meet Jess and Denny Hickman and they are warm, genuine people. “

“I’ve purchased AMHF for several projects and I’m always blown away at how nice their floors look when I’m done. The experience Allegheny Flooring have developed over 4 generations is evident in the quality of the lumber. They do not miss delivery dates and always deliver a quality product and customer experience. Spend a little more for the best. You will be glad you did. Support our American sawmills.”

“Allegheny Mountain Hardwood Flooring is a superior company in every respect, from raw materials, process, and finished product to service and communications. We have found working with Allegheny on our Hudson Woods project to be very rewarding, and we plan to continue working with them on many future projects.”
Architect / Developer
Robert Baumbach
Pittsburgh, PA
Customer since – 2017
“As a developer and architect, I get to see many floors and the Allegheny Mountain product has the high-end quality and appearance to be installed anywhere. Our development company used 4” natural grade R&Q white oak on a recent renovation and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone that came into the house commented on the beauty of the wood flooring. We were impressed by how easy it was to install and how little waste we had. We sold the renovated house for the highest cost per-square-foot in the area, in just two weeks, and I’m sure we got that high number because of the hardwood floors that we installed.”

Adrienne, I wanted to let you know that the fellow who is installing my floor, who is very experienced and is also a skilled craftsman, informed me that “I must’ve been working with junk all my life. I’ve never worked with flooring material anywhere near this high of quality.”
Builder / Developer
Pat Taber
Bangor, Maine
Customer since – 2014
“I am a builder who constructed a high-end home on the coast of Maine for very discriminating homeowners. They, and their architect, wanted a custom blend of grades and lengths of quarter sawn white oak flooring with very specific characteristics. Allegheny provided us with a product that not only exceeded the owner’s expectations but was at a reasonable cost. This was very impressive considering the additional work it took to understand the blend desired and to provide it. They were also very friendly and professional throughout the process and delivered the product when promised.”

“I am an interior designer and have worked with AMHF for several years. The Hickman family has been doing it right for generations. They help with selecting the right wood and cut and help fit the customers’ budget. The company’s core values and the fact that they have been managing their supply forests for years and produce FSC flooring is icing on the cake! My personal favorite is the Live Sawn White Oak. So much character and natural beauty! I love it so much, I used it in my own home and admire it every day!”

As an interior designer I work with all types of clients and budgets. I am able to give my clients the “absolute best” for their budget- every time bar none!”

“Jessica and her team at Allegheny Mountain have been amazing to work with. It was great to visit their mill and see the production for one of our episodes on Season 1 (of Restored by the Fords). They are knowledgeable, easy and extremely helpful! Our first project we used the white oak live sawn herringbone. We’ve also used their Rift & Quarter Sawn Beech. Their wood is all gorgeous and only the best quality! We love working with Hickman woods. “

“All the staff at Allegheny Mountain hardwood are true professionals! You will not find another company as dedicated to their product. Our hardwoods came out perfect and exactly how we hoped they would. It is the first thing our guests comment on when they come to our home. We couldn’t be more pleased with our floors! I recommend this company to everyone who asks about hardwoods. “

“Every part of my experience with Allegheny Mountain’s product and staff deserves the highest recommendation. We chose clear rift and quartered red oak and it is so stunning that I may throw away my rugs. The ordering process was a delight. The milling is excellent, true to grade, and again – stark raving gorgeous. I am so happy with the flooring and the company that next time I’m in PA I would want to visit their showroom. 5 stars is not enough.”

“Allegheny Mountain Hardwood Flooring is awesome. We have beautiful beech flooring from the them. The builder, architect, and all who see them are marveled and envious. Seriously. Beech. Great flooring. Could not be happier. There is nothing more gratifying than adorning your home with beautiful American hardwoods and working with a family-owned business that does top-notch work. Really cannot recommend them enough. I only hope that you have the excuse and the chance to put some of their beech flooring in your home.”

“We had such a wonderful experience with Allegheny Mountain Flooring from the initial inquiry to the delivery. The flooring is beautiful and of superb quality. Customer service is top-notch, and Zach was amazing to work with. I had reservations making this type of purchase online site unseen, but the product and service did not disappoint.”
