What Herrington's does
Herrington's (legal entity Ed Herrington, Inc.) is a fourth-generation, family-owned building materials supplier founded circa 1865 in Hillsdale, NY, and incorporated in 1953. The company operates six integrated retail locations spanning Eastern New York (Hillsdale, Hudson, Chatham, Millerton), Northwestern Connecticut (Lakeville), and Western Massachusetts (Sheffield) — covering Columbia County, Dutchess County, Litchfield County, and Berkshire County. Headcount is 51–100 employees.
The company sells an extensive product portfolio across more than 20 categories including construction and finish lumber, windows and patio doors, decking and railing, roofing and gutter, siding, stone and masonry, tile, flooring, moulding and specialty millwork, drywall, insulation, plywood, engineered wood, paints and sundries, hardware, power tools, and plumbing/heating/electrical supplies. Brands carried include Andersen, Marvin, Benjamin Moore, TimberTech, Trex, VELUX, James Hardie, GAF, KraftMaid, Bosch, Milwaukee, and DeWALT. Complementary professional design services include kitchen & bath design (with NKBA-certified designers), window and door design consultation (Marvin Showplace in Lakeville, CT; Andersen at three showrooms), marble and tile design, deck design, blueprint estimating, and countertop templating and fabrication. Delivery service with specialized boom trucks for roofing and heavy materials is offered free within the service area.
The business model combines physical retail, e-commerce (shop.herringtons.com), phone-based inside sales, and outside sales representatives who visit construction job sites. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product transactions at retail pricing with periodic promotional discounts; professional design services are typically bundled with and supportive of product sales. The customer base spans four persona-segments — professional builders and contractors (primary), remodelers and trades (primary), homeowners (primary), and architects/designers (secondary). No outside equity, debt issuance, or institutional investment is disclosed; ownership remains within the Herrington family across four generations.
