The workmanship was great The workmanship was great, however the flooring we chose had a high gloss to it. When this flooring was installed it was very much a matte or no shine finish. We were instructed to use a microfiber mop to remove the dust that had settled during installation and them wet mop to clean it further. We did this for about 3 weeks and then also used the Bona which we were told would give it shine. We had done all of this since installation and still no shine.

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.

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?

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.

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!!
