GBInstallation 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.

GBI scheduled an appointment to get an… I scheduled an appointment to get an estimate for carpet installation. I scheduled my appointment between 9 am and 11 am. I received a phone call stating a representative would arrive at 10:30 am. At 11:05 am, I called 1-855-558-3200, and a sleepy phone rep answered. She informed me that someone was at my home at 10:30 am, and they called me. Which was not so; I've taken off from work to accommodate my appointment. There was no knock at my door or a phone call. She stated the sales rep canceled my appointment because of a no-show. I was furious. I decided to call again to get a rep who was not sleeping. I called 1-844-643-0219 and got an outstanding rep. I explained my situation, and she informed me that they needed to cancel my appointment because no one was home. She contacted the sales rep and said that someone would call me. Unfortunately, I would instead not get a call because it is unprofessional not to contact a customer, especially a customer who has taken off from work, a customer who was excited about having her home carpeted and turned around to be disappointed because of laziness, inconsiderate, and irresponsible Empire salespeople.

GBNever 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.

GBLVT and carpet throughout… We purchase LVT and carpet throughout our house. The LVT was installed first, and then the carpet. The carpet installer scratched our "scratch resistant flooring ". We have other scratches in the floor from chairs and such. We purchased warranty, and although I have called four times, no one has been out to fix it. This has been going on for months. I wouldn't recommend due to the lack of customer service, and we even paid a pretty penny for the warranty. Additionally, the salesperson told us over and over again how scratch resistant the LVT is, and not even 4 months later we have multiple visible scratches. They won't respond to come out and fix the damage they caused to the floor while installing.
