Heritage Plank Floors

What Heritage Plank Floors does

Heritage Plank Floors is a privately held, owner-operated manufacturer of sustainable hardwood flooring based in Ayden, North Carolina. The company produces two principal product lines: a reclaimed woods collection sourced from old barns and tobacco barns in North Carolina (nine SKUs spanning grades from Premium Heart of Pine down to rustic hand-distressed planks), and a newly sawn woods collection sourced exclusively from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified mills across seven domestic hardwood species (hickory, cherry, yellow pine, oak, maple, walnut, and ash). Production is carried out at a single facility equipped with industry-grade machinery — Weinig molders, Woodtech planers, and Cooks saws — that also supports a custom millwork service producing stair treads, risers, handrails, pickets, newel posts, and architectural moldings. Reclaimed material is kiln-dried to eliminate insects and stabilize the wood while preserving patina, nail holes, and historic character.

The business sells primarily to individual homeowners (primary residences, second homes, mountain homes, waterfront homes, golf bungalows), home builders, architects, interior designers, flooring retailers, and flooring installers across the East Coast of the United States. Revenue is generated through one-time sales of flooring products and custom millwork plus an installation-recommendation professional service. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company operates a free-sample program and captures demand through a "Request a Quote" form on its website and direct phone contact. All outside sales and on-site installation guidance is led personally by the owner, Drock Vincent, who became Principal in 2007 after a decade in commercial banking; over half of employees are reported to be owner-operators of the business.

The go-to-market is sales-led with no digital advertising infrastructure, no e-commerce checkout, no third-party retail distribution, and no public-facing API or software layer. Marketing is driven by word-of-mouth referrals, Google customer reviews, and the owner's direct customer engagement. The company holds memberships in the National Wood Flooring Association, the U.S. Green Building Council (LEED), the Forest Stewardship Council, and a regional Home Builders Association, which underpin its sustainability credentials and channel access within the residential construction ecosystem.
