"My husband and I decided to embark upon a custom home project and act as the general contractors. Both of us work full time and have a pre-school aged daughter. Needless to say, we were short on time, and in most cases, convenience was hard to come by! When I needed to choose hardwood flooring for our new home, I called James Baliko at Floors and Shades DIRECT. I'm still thanking my lucky stars that I did! Being short on free time to drive around to brick and mortar stores, it was such a blessing that James was able to bring the store to me! In addition, the pricing for both materials and installation were extremely competitive.

Once I chose flooring, the entire process went like clockwork. James is a stellar project manager, and his communication skills are top notch! Mostly via e-mail exchanges, James scheduled the material delivery and installation dates. I chose to have hardwood flooring installed throughout the entire house. James' installer was incredible! The entire installation took place amid a series of blizzards and the installer showed up every single day until completion. The finished result is flawless!

I would recommend James Baliko to anyone seeking new flooring for their home!"

"I am so pleased with the new carpeting in my master bedroom. It's absolutely beautiful. Thank you for your prompt and courteous assistance with the selection. I was also extremely pleased with your installers. They were pleasant, efficient, and left the room in tip-top shape. It was a pleasure doing business with you, and hope to use your services when carpeting the remainder of my home." - Jan A.

"We recently reduced our 'carbon footprint' using one of the carpet products that James offers - we had recycled carpets installed in two of the rooms in our home as well as the steps. James helped us pick out the carpet and explained the recycling process and things about carpet processing/manufacturing that we did not know. He is very knowledgeable with his products and an expert in that field. The buying process was very easy - he brought over all kinds of samples and once we chose our product the time for installation from start to finish was a breeze. The entire choosing, buying, installation process went very smoothly. I highly recommend James and his business. He is very professional and personable and has great products." - Ruth P.

"James is an excellent service provider of top quality shades and flooring. You can trust his knowledge and exptertise - he makes excellent recommendations to fit any budget." - Kristine A.

"I hired James when I wanted a new kitchen floor. I have never laid a new floor before and had no idea how to pick it! James guided me through the whole thing. He has great software that lets you actually see your choice in your kitchen. He came back twice and gave me some great advice. My final choice he totally guided me to pick. It is all in now and I LOVE it!!! I would hire James again in an instant and would recommend him to anyone I know who wants or needs a new floor!" - Hope F.

 "I have used James for two decorating jobs each with their own set of unique circumstances. He is a true pleasure to work with. He is not a high pressure sales person which I truly appreciate. He works within my clients budgets, getting them the most amount of flooring with the least amount of waste possible. The best part about his company is he brings the whole store to my clients homes. I do not have to run back and forth to stores with samples and that's a HUGE TIMESAVER for me and my clients!!!!!" - Teddy D.

"James is very professional and delivers excellent service. He has helped my clients with their flooring needs in a very professional yet personable way. I would highly recommend James company." - Jatinder S.

"I called James in for a customer who had a fire in his house and needed a new kitchen floor and carpet in select areas. James doesn't know that I kept in touch with the customer to see how well he was doing. He served my customer so well that he wound up carpeting the entire house. Good price, quality products and a business owner that does what he says he'll do. That's the formula for a successful business. We will be doing business with James again, and you'll be glad you gave James a call for your flooring needs." - Harry A.

"In decorating our new home, a lot of decisions had to be made, the fact that James of Floors and Shades Direct came to us made life that much easier. The selection rivaled any of his competition, his prices were competitive and the quality is second to none. James not only takes pride in his product, but provided thoughtful insight and commentary during the selection process. Additionally, he presented numerous options that we did not even realize were available. His willingness to work with us was appreciated and showed his dedication to his customers and his company. James was here during installation to make sure that everything was correct and that we were satisfied. We would highly recommend James to friends and family and we couldn’t be happier with end result." - Donna & Chris R., Logan Township, NJ
