Oakcrest Lumber & Flooring Under New Ownership

Oakcrest Lumber & Flooring, LLC announced the acquisition, effective October 1, 2026, of the flooring manufacturing facilities and related lumber operations of Oakcrest Lumber, Inc. in Buena Vista, Georgia, and Newport, Tennessee. Oakcrest Lumber & Flooring is a newly formed company under common ownership with T&F Lumber Company of Monticello, Georgia.

The Oakcrest operations will continue under the Oakcrest name, preserving the experienced workforce, customer and supplier relationships, and manufacturing expertise built over many years. The two Oakcrest locations provide complementary hardwood manufacturing capabilities. The Buena Vista facility produces unfinished solid hardwood flooring. In Newport, Oakcrest produces unfinished engineered hardwood flooring and high-quality Appalachian kiln-dried hardwood lumber.

“Our intention is to preserve what customers have long valued about Oakcrest while investing in the future of the business,” said William Faircloth, president & CEO of Oakcrest Lumber & Flooring. “Oakcrest has a strong history in both hardwood lumber and flooring, experienced employees, and meaningful relationships with customers and suppliers. We want to build on that foundation for the long term. Bringing these three state-of-the-art facilities together gives us the opportunity to continue delivering the quality our customers have come to expect while expanding the products and capabilities we can offer.”

Kevin Cloer will continue serving as vice president of sales and marketing, providing continuity for customers across the company’s lumber and flooring businesses. “Our customers will continue working with the same people they know and trust,” Cloer said. “The combination of the existing Oakcrest operations with the resources and manufacturing experience of the new ownership gives us an opportunity to build on what we already do well while continuing to provide the products and service our customers expect.”
