NM Hardwood Flooring

Northern Michigan, home of some of the finest hardwood stands in the world, provides logs for Northern Michigan Hardwoods to produce lumber and hardwood flooring of the highest quality.

We harvest logs in our area in a manner that ensures sustainable forest management, then transport the logs to our mill, where we cut them into lumber, kiln dry the lumber and process it into hardwood flooring, rough-cut lumber and dimensional lumber.

 

 

From start to finish, the quality of what we produce at Northern Michigan Hardwoods is in our hands, and that is the quality we offer to you. Please call us with questions, or stop by our showroom.

We'd love to show you how you can enjoy the beauty of Northern Michigan inside your home with lumber or genuine hardwood flooring from Northern Michigan Hardwoods.

 

Owner Phil Manthei is committed to producing the finest in hardwood products while operating with the highest standards of integrity.

In 1979, Phil Manthei started a small logging operation in Petoskey, MI with the vision of sustainable harvesting—selectively harvesting only mature trees to keep the forests healthy and growing. Responsible forest management is of the utmost importance to NM Hardwood Flooring.

From the beginning, the logging crew utilized horses to skid logs in order to reduce the impact of excessive machinery in the timber stand. Staff forester Steve Maniaci joined the team in the early 1990s, and his careful direction and commitment to environmental quality has ensured that each timber stand harvested by the NMH crew is well managed and will be healthy and productive for the landowners in the future.

The company experienced a significant expansion in 1987 when Phil added a full sawmill to the logging business, and with the sawmill came the birth of the company’s name, “Northern Michigan Hardwoods, Inc.” The sawmill continued to grow and expand over the years, adding a dry kiln in the early 1990s and, just a few years later, a molding department for producing hardwood flooring, paneling, and finished lumber. Every part of the tree is utilized in the sawing and finishing process, and even the bark and scrap wood is manufactured into premium double-ground hardwood mulch.

Since NM Hardwood Flooring completes the whole process from harvesting the trees to creating the finished product, we can say with confidence, “We know hardwoods…inside and out!”

From the harvesting, milling, drying and processing of the lumber to the final installation in the customer’s home, the staff of Northern Michigan Hardwoods makes sure their high standards are maintained.
