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.

Installation could’ve been smoother We had a fantastic experience with our sales person. No issues at all and he was so helpful. Customer service was great as well. The day of installation was not the best. We requested a morning install, for lighting and work reasons, they arrived after 4pm, and were rude when they called to notify they were on their way. The installers were rude when they realized there was no overhead light in the room, and demanded to know why they weren’t notified. My response was that is why we requested they arrive in the morning. They did not leave until almost 9pm, and left pieces to vacuum up behind. (Said it was too dark to vacuum.

My second experience with Empire I had Empire carpet my home in 2003 and 20 years later I had them remove the carpet and replaced it with a light colored vinal plank flooring which came out beautiful. I had a good experience from start to finish.

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

It was worse than buying a car After reading all of the negative reviews, glad we dodged the bullet with a horribly pushy and insulting sales rep! It was worse than buying a car!! "If you sign right NOW, we can give you a discount." or "Let me call my manager." First quote was 22K for 1500 sq ft - but miraculously, the price would come down to 16K if we signed on the spot. No thanks...I'd rather have root canal! Pushy, aggressive, and insulting sales reps are a turnoff!!
