Horizon Forest - Long Floor

About Long Floor

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.
