 Richie
and Phyllis Ballance got their start in the flooring
business in 1987 as installation sub-contractors. They
opened their first retail store, Richie Balance
Flooring, Inc., in 1991 on Hwy. 301 in Wilson, NC.
In
1998, they moved to their current location at 3042-F
Forest Hills Rd. A year later, during Hurricane Floyd,
they learned what it was like to become flood victims.
“We
don’t complain, though,” says Richie. “So many people
lost more than we did and many of those were not in a
position to rebuild their lives. It wasn’t easy — like
many, we had no flood insurance — but we still had a lot
to be grateful for. We rebuilt our business and we’re
proud and thankful to be here today, offering great
products and service to our neighbors”.
Their
son, Justin Ballance, handles the installation of all
hard surface flooring. Justin has grown up in the
business and besides having extensive hands-on
experience, he has completed many courses in
installation and continually upgrades his knowledge with
new training.
In
fact, on-staff installers, each one trained and
certified and employed full-time by Richie Ballance
Flooring, Inc, professionally install all
flooring sold by Richie Ballance Flooring.
“You’ll
see the same people installing our products. We don’t
rely on contractors because we want to ensure
consistent, high-quality work. That’s why buying your
flooring from us will be one of the best decisions
you make about your new home, office or church, or your
renovation,” says Richie. “Installation makes the
difference and we’ve got the best!”
Richie
and Phyllis continue to add to their extensive lines of
carpet, ceramic tile, vinyl, hardwood and laminate
flooring. Stop by and talk to Tony Sauls, sales manager,

staff and find out how our great new flooring can
