Long Flooring
Our company was founded in 1937 when John Long opened J.P. Long Floor Supply, Co., a Porter Cable sanding equipment and sundries distributorship. That first store was located in what is now known as the historic Shockoe Bottom area of Richmond, Virginia.
In 1947, a 19-year old Alfred Lewis joined the company as a mechanic in the repair shop. Alfred, better know in the industry as “Al”, was instrumental in helping John Long and his brother-in-law Charlie Miller build the J.P. Long Floor Supply Co. Al became a most respected salesman and friend to hardwood flooring professionals in the Mid-Atlantic region. Al Lewis purchased the company in 1978 and changed the name to Long Floor Supply, Inc.
Al and his two sons-in-law, “Chip” Armstrong and L.A. Carroll, along with many other talented and loyal employees and customers, have built Long Floor into the leading, full-service, hardwood floor distributor it is today. Our headquarters is currently located in a 50,000 square foot facility just off of Interstate 95 in Richmond, VA. In 1999, Long began its expansion into other markets with the purchase of the
assets of the T.R. Hazlett Co in Beltsville. T.R. Hazlette had been a well-respected and friendly competitor in the industry for over 60 years. In 2000, we added our third location in Raleigh, NC, and most recently in August 2005, we opened our newest location in Chesapeake, VA.
In 2007, our Raleigh location merged with our sister company, Horizon Forest Products. Still operating out of three locations in Chesapeake, VA, Richmond, VA and Beltsville, MD, Long Floor services the entire states of Maryland and Virginia as well as parts of West Virginia, Delaware and Northeastern North Carolina. Our facilities are full service with extensive inventories of prefinished and unfinished flooring, equipment, and sundries products.

Horizon Forest
Horizon Forest’s History
Horizon Forest Products was founded in 1993. The company employed eight employees in a 20,000 square foot facility located off of Hwy 70 near Raleigh-Durham International Airport in Raleigh, NC. At that time, the company carried about 200 SKUs. Over the years, Horizon Forest Products’ goal has remained unchanged from their inception 18 years ago: To provide the best products and the best service to our customers and to help them be successful.
Today, Horizon Forest Products employs over 150 team members and is a top distributor of products for hardwood flooring contractors and custom cabinetmakers in the southeast, carrying well over 4,000 SKUs. The company currently services areas around Beltsville, MD; Richmond and Chesapeake, VA; Raleigh, Greensboro, and Wilmington, NC; and Charleston, SC. 
Horizon Forest Products provides premium materials to cabinetmakers and hardwood flooring contractors and is particularly proud to offer one of the largest selections of exotic and hard-to-find pine flooring. In 2007, the company moved into their new 101,640 square foot building. The facility is located at 4115 Commodity Parkway in Raleigh and was built in conjunction with Duke Realty Corporation. The new buildin allows Horizon Forest Products to better serve their clients by carrying a larger and more diverse inventory.
In that same year, the company also partnered with Long Floor, allowing them to offer customers one of the most comprehensive inventories of pre-finished and unfinished hardwood flooring, floor equipment, abrasives, finishes, fasteners, and accessories in the mid-Atlantic Region.
Horizon Forest Products and Long Floor are two great companies providing one exceptional customer service experience. With over 75 years’ of industry experience, Horizon Forest Products and Long Floor leverage their positions within the hardwood industry in order to ensure that their customers continue to receive the highest quality, most hard-to-find hardwood products available in the market.
