Never Use Empire Today Empire Today installed laminate flooring in two bedrooms on August 25, 2023. Extensive damage began to appear under the bed in the master bedroom. I reported the damage, indicating the area was totally under the bed, was never exposed to anything as it was never walked upon nor cleaned with any water or solvent. I was required to send photos for assessment. A few days later a flooring specialist was sent for the inspection. A few days later I received a Certificate of Completion which I never signed. The inspector indicated the cause of the damage was water and Empire indicated that this was not covered by warranty and that I was responsible for the repair. This is impossible as the damaged area is under the bed and has never been exposed to anything. The inspector indicated in a text that damage by water was his “BEST GUESS” and had entered “N/A” on the Certificate of Completion instead of my signature indicating that I was satisfied with the work performed. I was informed that had to use an inspector certified by one of 3 certififying organizations. Found one. The closet inspector is 386 miles from our home. Empire Today’s warranties and their business practices are terrible, if not fraudulent.

I was very pleased in the installation I was very pleased in the installation, except for the threshold against the wood flooring that was all ready installed.the installer said they would charge a couple thousand to bring the floor up. I was very pleased with the installers and their professionalism

They were very good They were very good, worked very hard and steady. Only one spoke English which was okay but the one that spoke English didn't show up on the second day so we improvised as best we could with a Google translator on my phone. Overall, they did a pretty good job but my nephew had to do some things that they could not do, due to the fact that they didn't have the right color or size for the doorway to the outside. But they were very hard workers?

The promise of having a professional… The promise of having a professional “stairmaster” capable of handing the circular shape of our stairs didn’t happen. Our sales person made personal promises that were not carried out. When the installers arrived they stated there was no mention of a circular staircase in the notes. The installers worked hard but the stairs just don’t like professional.

EMPIRE TODAY "BAD NEWS" I have been satisfied with my flooring, however where the threshold meets the carpet they cut the carpet too short. The installer used clear hot melt glue on top of the carpet. At first it was clear and now has turned black and has become very hard and sharp. I called them and had very poor customer service and that I would need to pay a service charge to fix their mess. I would tell anyone that is considering to use them to hire someone else to get a better job and stand behind their installs.
