Superior Quality and Service! 10-26-2009 My husband and I were looking to purchase carpet for 3 rooms we finished in our basement. In my experience with shop-at-home flooring, I was expecting the price to be on the high side. I had no intention on agreeing to anything when they came to our home for the free in-home estimate. However, the price they quote we nearly half of what I expected! The carpet style and texture was identical to what we had purchased last year at Lowe\'s. We had spent $1500 for almost half the amount of carpeting that NFD was quoting only $1300 for! Plus NFD would move all furniture and remove and dispose of all of the old carpeting (we would have had to pay extra for that from most places). I made the down-payment and we set up installation for 2 days later. In the meantime, I looked on the internet and found some not-so-great reviews (as well as some great ones). I do understand that most people will take time out to write a negative review to vent about problems while very few will take time to write a good review. Still, I was a bit leary. However, we had made the down-payment and as money was VERY tight, I decided to stick with our NFD purchase. The install day came and by 10am, I was getting worried as I never heard from anyone. So I placed a call and apparently there was a mix-up and our install date was recorded as the 27th rather than the 22nd (although it was understandable because at first glance the receipt it did look like a 27 rather than a 22). Still, within about 20 minutes, they confirmed they would be out that day as initially promised and sure enough, the installers arrived by 1:15pm. They worked diligently straight through. They were finished around 8-8:30pm and when they were done, we were thrilled at the results. We thoroughly inspected it and even with concrete floor and walls there were somewhat uneven, the job was professional and looked wonderful! There had been a square area around the water heater and furnace that the previous owners had left uncarpeted. We were not expecting the installers at NFD to cut all that out and carpet that area, but they did. It was perfect! The padding is a good bit thicker than what we got with the \"premium padding\" from Lowe\'s also. As the floor was concrete, we were expecting the carpet just to glued down. However, they used tack strips AND glue, so it is extra secure. Our experience with NFD was so much more than we had hoped for. We will definitely be recommending them to others and will be calling for another in-home estimate when we are ready to recarpet and put new vinyl flooring upstairs. Lori and duane H. Funkstown, Md NFD worked \'tiil they got it right! 10-26-2009 I had carpet and wood floors installed in March. The rugs were perfect but there was an issue with the wood floor. National Floors Direct sent out floor examiners and a new sales rep to make sure we selected an appropriate floor to go over our cement surface. The new team that came out could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They resurfaced/leveled the floor and installed the most beautiful wood floor. I am so impressed with their commitment to make their customers happy!! Thanks NFD! Lisa C. Beverly, Ma installers 05-24-2009 we had National floors back in Febuary install a laminate floor in our living room the workmanship was ok and the installer never shut up asking us why we were going over good oak floors well we have two cocker spanials and these laminate floors are a blessing. We decided to have another area done so we contacted you people this time for both carpet and laminate flooring carpet installers did an excellent job but the two floor installers that came yesterday were just the best got here at nine and never stopprd for lunch the professionalizm of these two installers was above reproach and their workman ship the same thank you Judith W. Framingham, Ma Complimentory Prices 05-02-2009 I think that I made a wonderful choice in choosing my Master-Bedroom\'s carpet here. First of all the next day installation was amazing along with the professional staff and management. I also love the price! I saved $567.00 just by coming to National Floors Direct! You can too Jake C. Warwick, Rode Island recent rug installation 04-30-2009 I just wanted to pass on to you how happy my husband and I are with our new rug. We love it. The entire process was easy from the free estimate to the installation. I would like to specifically commend Jon Schaeffer, the salesman who came to give us our free estimate. He was the first person to actually explain to us the differences in carpet and what to look for. We had been to 2 different retailers and not one salesperson could explain to us what he did or cared to explain. We also saved $2,000.00 going with National Floors Direct. When the time comes for us to replace our wood floors, we will definitely call National Floors Direct again. Carrie C. Marstons Mills, Ma installers 04-30-2009 I just wanted to say the instalers that came to my house were the best I have ever met, I have seen a lot. Very perfessional, clean and overall nice. They did a wonderful job at my house and if I ever need the floors replaced (which I hope not) I would have these gentlemen back. You know who they were so please let them know I am very very happy Ann T. Merrimack, Nh Estimate 03-27-2009 I just wanted to tell you about a pleasant experience I had with two of your field agents. Larry Tatenbaum and his wife came out to appraise my house for potential reflooring. They were polite and professional; the estimate was obtained within 15-20 minutes, and while I was waiting for the estimate to be finalized, Larry gave me all the pros and cons to what I was looking for. Both of them were honest about what I could and could not expect from this job, and gave me important and useful information. They should both be complimented on a job well done.
Ian T. Somers, Ct Order # 18362 03-09-2009 Just wanted to say thank you for a terrific job done by your installers, Mike and Mike Bresnahan. Thet were very professional and courteous as well as being very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. Overall it was a pleasure doing business with National Floors Direct. It was my first job with National but not my last! Tommy M. Roslindale, Ma Fabulous job by installers. 03-05-2009 Thanks so much to the very hardworking installers. They worked hard all day without one break and did a beautiful job! I cannot imagine it going any better than it did from start to finish. BTW, great prices! Mary B. Bristol, Ri Excellent Job 02-28-2009 Thank you for your services. My wife was a bit apprehensive about having our carpets changed out of our house. I told her it would be alright. I had heard wonderful things about your prices, services and all around professionalism. Thank you for making me right.
I will recommend you to everyone. Bob M. Boston, Ma IMPRESSED 01-29-2009 I am an interior designer and I usually work with people know. I was not sure about using a big company like this, but I have had a great experience. The salesman, Dan, was courteous and professional as were Carlos and Javier, the installers. I met with Dan on Monday and today is Thursday and I have nice beautiful hardwood floors. There was a huge snow storm yesterday when the install was scheduled and I was only delayed a day (at my choice). I am thoroughly impressed and happy because I believe I got great floors and a competitive price. It was like working with a small company because everyone was friendly every step of the way.
Thanks! I will recommend you to my clients.

Fairfield Shawna F. Fairfield, Ct Fantastic 01-09-2009 The service was great from estimate to installation. I was nervous because I have never used a service like this before being a new home owner, but I just couldn\'t live with my ugly carpet anymore. My hardwood floors are amazing and the service and price were the best Janice D. Greenwich The Den Was A Good Idea 01-06-2009 National Floors Direct - I would like to post my comment so the people who want to use your company will know how professional your staff was in recommending the hardwood floors I was looking for. The cherry wood compliments the atmosphere of our home and I am glad we had it installed in the den also per the recommendation of one of your specialists, since we had originally planned to put carpet in the den. Marie H. Boston, Massachussetts Awesome 01-06-2009 National was great. The salesman (JOE) came to my house at noon on Monday at approx. 11:30 a.m gave me a price, when I asked for a lower price which I never thought I\'d get, he called his boss and took another $100 off. By 3 pm Tues. my carpet was all installed perfectly, and I will use this company over and over while I\'m doing my 8 room home over. I will also tell others of the great quality and service. Arlene G. Brockton, Ma. laminate floor specialists 01-05-2009 We can\'t say enough about the two wood floor specialists, Frederico Silva and his associate Olavo, that came to install our laminate flooring. They were friendly, professional, and dedicated. They installed our floor in one day and treated the job as if it was their own home floors being done. I would recommend these two gentlemen and national floors direct to others, for sure. Thank you so much!
Sharon and family Sharon M. Belmont, Ma Thanks 01-05-2009 I ordered hardwood floors with much trepidation because I had previous bad experiences with a national chain. Within minutes of meeting your flooring rep, Mike D, I felt at ease and knew that the job would be done without issues. Mike did the work in a professional and timley manor insuring my complete satisfaction. Him and his staff, Jay and Steve, were a pleasure to work with and I will be recomending National Floors Direct to all of my family and friends. Stella M. Lincoln, Ri wow great customer service 12-27-2008 I try to use those other guys but when i called the phone rep wasn\'t able to answer any of my questions and concerns about the appoitment, but at national floors direct Maria answered all my questions and was so polite and patient with me. J. S. Plymouth, Ma Return Customer 12-26-2008 This is the second time I have used your guys\' services and am comfortable saying that you are who I will come to if I have any other rooms done. Both times you have proven everything you claimed on your quality products and services. Thank you. Jackie C.
Excellent Service 12-23-2008 I had to purchase new carpets for our house and I am happy that I picked National Floors Direct. The sales person assisted me and helped me pick the right carpet for our house. Thank you National Floors Direct for your great service and products. Alex B.
Very impressed 11-20-2008 I was a bit nervous even in the thinking process of trying to decide whether I wanted new carpet laid down, or whether I wanted to go with the hardwood floors. When I called to speak with someone at NFD, they were very nice and helpful. Answered all my questions and even took away some of the fears that I had.
When NFD came out to lay the floors down in my house. They showed up on time. They were very polite and professional when they were in my home. They moved furniture out of the way. I was even more impressed when the job was all finished and the place looked cleaner when they left, than before they arrived at my house.
I will recommend National Floors Direct to all my friends and family. I will also be calling them back myself when I am ready to put the new carpet down in my bedroom. Barb F.
Laminate Flooring 10-31-2008 Let me start by saying this is the second time we went with NFD, the first being a hallway and stairs between the two units of our Duplex. This time we had Laminate Flooring installed in both units for the Kitchens,dining Rooms and Hallways.
Let me start with the Salesman Don P. who arrived on schedule and with the samples and most importantly the knowledge to explain the differences and advantages of each. When we pressed for a recomandation while we tried to pick between a couple of styles he advised us in one direction based on what we were trying to accomplish, separating the living room and Dining Room and Hallways. He hit it dead on.
The installers came in and did the job on schedule and on time. They were not only courteous and professional, they were hardworking effiecient.
I will call NFD every time we have carpet and flooring needs.
OH did i mention they were the lowest of three bids and i never even showed them the other two, and yes their\'s was below the 15% they promise to beat the competition by. David L. Stoneham, Ma Great Experience 10-24-2008 I just wanted to write to say what a great experience I had in dealing with your company. Not only was the price lower than other estimates we had recieved but the people who work for your company were outstanding. Jason the salesman that came was friendly and very knowledgeable of his product. John and his partner did a professional and quick job of installing our new flooring. Thank-you again for a great experience. Gary W. Manchester, Nh Great Installation 10-14-2008 Just wanted to say thanks for the great price and installation of my new carpeting. Thanks. Richard N. Greenwich, Ct Installation 10-14-2008 Flooring specialist Michael O. did a great job installing our hardwood floor on 10/10/08. The finished product and valuable information furnished to us was greatly appreciated. I believe he left no stones untouched in making sure we were completley satisfied with the final product. I would completley recommend him to your future customers wholeheartedley. Anthony & francis H. Windham, Nh Installation of hard wood floor 10-11-2008 Reciently, two of your sub-contract installers, Dave and Eric completed the removal of ceramic tile and installation of hardwood in our kitchen. The job turned out to be far more labor intensive than anyone expected. What was supposed to be a one day job turned out to be three full days ( actually, over work day hours) I am grateful they stuck with it and didn\'t walk away from what turned out to be far more than they contracted for. I do not know how they are compensated, but I hope consideration is given to anyone who completes and fulfills their responsibility as they did.
The floor looks wonderful and credit must be given to Dave and Eric for not only sticking to an unpleasant task, but for going over and above what they may not have been comopensated for. Donna H.
Installation Feedback 09-02-2008 My wife and I are extremely pleased with the laminate flooring that your company recently installed in our condo. The floor looks great and your installers were very professional, courteous and helpful with suggestions and information on how to take care of the floor.
We will certainly recommend NFD to anyone looking for flooring or carpeting. Dan B. Wilbraham, Ma Laminate Floor 08-25-2008 My family room looks beautiful, i am so pleased at the job done by Peter S. and Anthony Britto. These 2 men came in at 9:00a.m. and worked right through till the job was complete. The salesman didn\'t give the correct information on the specific thresholds so Peter and Anthony made a special point of calling in and talking to national direct to get this straightened out and came back out to complete the job. Thank you Anthony and Peter you were wonderful! Karen C. New Bedford, Ma Carpet 08-15-2008 I just wanted to say what a great job the guys did on my carpet (Myrel and Jerry).
They came on time and it a awesome job. The carpet looks great . No seams were showing. They even vacuumed after and were very professional. I would highly recommend this Company and these gentlemen to all my friends.
Thanks Mrs. Yessayan Cathleen Y. West Roxbury, Ma Outstanding Installation Service 08-12-2008 I wanted to send my compliments to NFD for a job done well beyond expectations at my new home over the past weekend. The installer, Andre DeSouza, worked incredibly long hours on Friday and returned on Saturday and was absolutely meticulous during the entire process. He involved us in the discussions about the project from the beginning and assured us that we would be absolutely satisfied at the end. He went above and beyond expectations to guarantee that the end product would look perfect. Because of Mr. DeSouza’s work ethic and performance, I have already recommended NFD to several of my friends and co-workers, and will absolutely use NFD for my flooring needs in the future. Trevor D. Norwell, Massachusetts my laminate floors 08-08-2008 I am very pleased the way my floors came out. Mr.Travassos and his son Jr. were outstanding. They did an awesome job. They didn\'t even stop to eat lunch. Which i begged them so manny times to do so. They wanted to get the job done. Oh i can\'t forget about John Foley who came out to the house a day before to show me some samples. He was also a nice young men. Thank you again and great job. Sandy F. New Bedford, Ma Carpet Installation 08-08-2008 I would like to express my sincere thanks to Dan and the installation crew (Jose and Migduel Jr) on a wonderfull job! I was a bit leary at first because I read a few negative remarks about the National Floors Direct on the web. But, after talking to Dan, he assured me that everything would be fine. National Floors Direct does miles and miles of carpeting and one might expect a few complaints. I guess that is a true statement. I have read complaints about other companies as well. The installation crew arrived on time and did a terrific job. Jose and Jr were polite and projected a professional personality. Here is the best part. The National Floors Direct beat the lowest price (which was $150.00 more than NFD) by 15%. Not only that, the NFD let me use their cupon for $250.00 after I negotiated the final price. Thanks Dan for all your help. I saved $500.00 from the lowest price I was quoted from a competitor. If anyone from the department of Better Business Bureau is reading my testimonial they should use my comments for their Reliability Report for this company (NFD). I would recommend this company to anyone for reliability and the great price. Again, thanks National Floors Direct for the great service and helping me save $500.00.
Mobashir. Mobashir A. Quincy, Ma floor installation 08-06-2008 I would like to comment on the well done job and pleasant professionalism of Jhonn. M&S and his associate who installed my floors on July 9-10. 08. They were so neat you would not even know they were here when the job was finished.
Thank you, Jhonn and associate. Patsy C.
Laminate Flooring and Carpet 07-28-2008 Just dropping a line to say that my wife and I are extremely satisfied with the new look that National Floors provided to us. Flooring installer Eric Crowell and his team worked under extreme temperature to make our home a showplace. Congratulations Eric on a job well done. Our Carpets were installed the following week by a different team of National Floors. They too worked like a well oild machine and got the job done in record breaking time. Great Job everyone. Guy F. Everett, Ma Our new carpet 07-28-2008 I just wanted to tell you what a great job that Luis and his partner did laying the carpet I ordered from you. They were in and out in a matter or hours and left the place looking beautiful. The basement stairs were tricky but they came out awesome! I will recommend your company to my friends. Thanks! Marge S. Randolph, Ma INSTALLATION OF LAMINATE FLOOR 06-20-2008 I WANTED TO MAKE A SPECIAL COMMENT ABOUT THE TWO GENTLEMEN THAT INSTALLED MY LAMINATE FLOOR - THEY WERE SO POLITE AND HARD WORKING - IT WAS SO NICE HAVING SOMEONE DOING WORK FOR YOU THAT WANTED TO PLEASE - Ellen R. Everett, Ma Just a small comment, 06-11-2008 Just a small comment in regards to your Installation people that came to the house on June 09, 2008 to do our Laminate floor. You need to commend these two people for their excellence...John and Edson, these two are perfection at it\'s best and a talent that you don\'t want to lose in both of them, Edsons actual work with the wood around the tile was excellent and he takes pride in what he does!!! Please commend them for their excellent work!! Thomas G. Avon, Ma You are the best 06-09-2008 I just want to express my gratitude for youe excellent service, product, and price. I will recommend your company to all my friends.
Thank you,
Kevin Kevin V. Newton, Ma Dear NFD 05-07-2008 Just want to tell you how fortunate you are to have Manny and John in your company. They are kind, considerate, and a pleasure to have them working in your home. They did a fantastic job and if we decide to put more carpeting down we would request them.
Thanks for this great service.
All the best Sylvia S. Sylvia S. Stoneham, Ma Beautiful Floors and Stairs and Excellent Service 04-17-2008 I\'m nuts for services. Now I don\'t think that I expect much, just call backs, followup, and genuine willingness to help if something went wrong. But today, in this outsourced, bottom line, next transaction world, it is extremely hard to find. You can stop looking because you get that and more with National Floors Direct. I have seen them make significant investments in their customer service team, including someone who follows up usually on very next day of your work to make sure that everything is to your satisfaction. If you do have any issues they make you an appointment and someone comes out and makes it right, no arguing, no explaining, just ask and you shall receive. You feel like you have not only purchased a floor (in my case hardwood floors in my kitchen, dining room, hallways and two sets of stairs) but you have entered into a partnership with them.
Hardwood Stairs... if you have ever had to get quotes for these, you better be ready for sticker shock. National Floors Direct had not only a great price that beat their competitors, their product was far superior and the job was done quickly. Most companies don\'t stock stairs and it will take you months to get these installed, with National Floors it was just a day. I can\'t say enough about Raymond D and team. They were amazing. The way they finished my hardwood stairs with molding to cover where the builder of my house left raw edges was an example of the \"little extras\" that you experience with the top installers at NFD. It\'s these \"extras\" that save you not only time, and money, but the aggrevation of finding someone to do the finishing word. At NFD they care about the whole job and how your home looks, not just throwing in your floor and leaving.
The no interest/no payments for one year is a huge help, especially when you are doing a large job. It allows you to have the floors that you always wanted, when you want them (like the very next day), and also give yourself time to budget over the year how you will pay for them.
Thank you for my floors but also for your service and an ongoing partnership. I\'ll be calling you back for carpets!!
Dorothy. Dorothy H. Medway, Ma Great experience! 04-12-2008 It was a pleasure dealing with National Floors Direct. The salesman arrived on time, was knowledgeable, informative and professional. I thought the commercial might be too good to be true but the carpet was installed the next day. The installers were terrific and the carpet looks great. There hasn\'t been one person at NFD that hasn\'t surpassed my expectations. Great customer service, professional, great product and competitive prices!! Claire S. Boston, Ma Installation Feedback 04-12-2008 I had both hardwood flooring and carpeting installed. Both installs went very well, and I am totally satisfied with the end result. I would especially like to comment on the carpet installtion done by Kenny D and his son. They were both very pleasant to deal with, worked very hard, and the quality of the work was excellent. Kenny\'s attention to detail was especially evident in the basement. With no prompting from me, he installed the carpet around a sump pump cover in such a way that it is totally hidden, but I can easily pull back the carpet if I need to access the pump. In addition, Kenny was very flexible in handling a couple of situations. Rather than asking me to disassemble a large computer cabinet so it could be moved out of the room, Kenny moved it back and forth while laying the carpet. When he got to the living room, he was only too happy to bury a home theater speaker cable, which goes across the room to the rear speakers, under the carpet so that for the first time it is invisible. I am delighted to have selected the NFD team for my new flooring project. Frank A. Ashland, Ma Dear Staff, 04-05-2008 A very special thank you for a great job done with such speed and professionalism. I may have forgot to mention, my mother is over 80, this is her home. Were all applicable discounts applied?
John was great, his professionalism sold me on NFD. We will do more business in the future.
Sincerely,
Mike B For June G Mike B. Braintree, Ma Great Job NFD! 04-04-2008 I just wanted to say thank you to you guys for the excellent work with my hard wood flooring. My wife just adores it! Thank you! Shiroh H. North Billerica, Massachusetts To A Great Company 04-04-2008 My name is Douglas A and this is my story...
I live in a building that is almost 100 years old and you have to climb four flights of stairs just to get to my condo unit. The tile and carpet were laid in 1985 and, needless to say, it was time for a change.
I saw your T.V. add and decided to visit your website. I answered your questions and promptly received an e-mail on a sunday afternoon.
Monday morning, a young women called and asked if I would like to set up an in-home appointment and free estimate.
Tuesday, a young man arrived with the samples of flooring I chose online. The samples were very nice but, I had a certian style I was looking for. I mentioned I was interested in Bamboo flooring and he ran down and up the four flights with the samples. I chose the Bamboo and received the interest free financing. To my surprise and pleasure, he said they would start the next day!!
Wednsday morning I recieved a call at 9 am saying they would arrive between 11am and 1pm but, they arrived at 10:45 am.
Three young men, (ages 27, 25, and 22 years old), arrived and I thought to myself, They are too young and inexperienced to do a proper job. Boy was I wrong!!!
They began at 11am by ripping up the carpeting and tile and even moving the refrigerator and stove. They laid the first straight line of flooring and then proceeded to fly.
These men worked for seven hours without a break, running up and down the four flights with 6ft boxes of flooring and everytime they had to make a cut to fit the room which had to be at least another 75 times. I had to force them to stop and eat some Italian subs I bought for dinner. They finished at 6:15, began cleaning and at 6:30 they left.
The floor they installed is amazing and beautifull. In seven hours my condo went from the 1980\'s to a new century.
The next day, thursday, a lovely women called to see if I was happy with the job. I am very, very, very happy and amazed!!!
Keep up the good work and I will continue to sing your praises to everyone who tells me my flooring is awsome!!!!!
An extremely satisfied customer. Douglas A. Boston, Ma Your service far surpassed my expectations. 04-04-2008 The salesman, Johnny B was wonderfull! No high pressure sales pitch, just direct answers to my many questions. He was respectfull and professional, and returned all my calls promptly.
The installers were both curteous and respectfull, and did an outstanding job installing, and left everything spotless. I am so pleased, I have reffered your company to friends, family and my real estate agent.
Feel free to use my personal information to any potential customers.
Sincerely, Dianne B. Dianne B. Woburn, Ma |
