    UPDATE: Just in case you are still considering using Dolphin Carpet and Tile because of the alleged "inaccuracies" that I described in my original review regarding customer service...the flooring, which was completed about 3 months ago, is already chipped (in a low traffic area).

    I did get an apology from the nice friendly sales person who greeted me on March 6th
    Sonny D.

    This has been the ABSOLUTE WORST company we have ever dealt with! I would NOT recommend this company to do your project. PLEASE, do yourself a favor and shop around with other tile companies and you will save yourself a lot of heartache. It's my opinion that Jeff Katz and the commercials he's running are not true based on our experience. Please read on and see photos included and then you'll agree with my opinion. March 6th, 2021 I walked into the Biscayne store and met a nice sales person, picked out my tile and gave all the information requested. He told me on Monday, March 8th his measuring guy will come out to measure the job. Monday, no show so I called back. He will be there Wednesday, again no show and I called back. When I called back on Wednesday 3/10 the sales guy asked ME to call the measuring guy and so I did and left a lengthy voicemail. Friday rolls around and still no measuring guy. On Saturday the friendly nice sales guy came out to measure. The next week I was asked to Zelle $600.00 for the permit fee at the city of Miami Beach. Oh yea let's not forget to mention that Dolphin Tile uses a "permit expeditor". If you don't know what a permit expeditor is just google it and believe me she did a poor job. As a matter of fact she uploaded the wrong documents as well as incomplete documents several times. I made contact with the city's building department in person, by phone and emails. What the hell did she do for $600.00 but cause delays by NOT following up for weeks as our permit sat waiting for the correct information to be uploaded. After the permit fee was sent I was again asked to Zelle $1,750.00 which was 50% of my job and so I did just that. This was to reserve and hold my choice of tile. March, April and May came and gone and still my permit was sitting and I continued to make my phone calls to both Dolphin Tile and the city wanting updates. I NEVER once heard from the so called "permit expeditor" on the status of my $600.00 permit. Towards the last part of June I received word my permit was approved. Next, we deal with scheduling which is another horrible experience. I called the nice sales person every week asking when is my install date and his reply was "I haven't heard anything from our scheduling department". Now, by now we're into the first week of July and I'm fed up with Dolphin Tile and their expert team as Jeff says. Finally I get an install date of July 19, 2021. GREAT, well not so much because it gets better. Again, I texted and emailed the same nice sales person I've dealt with since day one explaining that I'm flying someone in from out of state to let the crew in so please make sure they have enough supplies to complete the job that week because the individual is flying home on the 26th. I work at a hospital and couldn't get the time off to let the crew in and out. July 19 rolls around and I get a phone call from the nice sales person I first met on day one saying my job has been pushed back one day. July 20th the crew arrives and removes the old tile, applies the waterproofing as code requires and the city inspector passes that part of the job on July 21. BTW, the waterproofing is red in color so do you notice the sloppy mess on the railing and exterior wall of our condo? Wednesday is when the new tile is to be installed (which I Zelled $1,750.00 back in March to hold with my name on it as the nice sales person who greeted me back on March 6th told me). Wednesday evening the nice sales person who originally greeted me back on March 6th calls me saying " this is the phone call I'm dreading" I replied what's the matter and he said "we can't find your tile. It was in the warehouse with your name on it". Yes by now I went into "are you F*@%&^G kidding me mode. Flight ticket money was spent, it's Wednesday and I have no tile. I asked him to send me photo's of like tile, which he did and another color was picked out. The nice guy tells me it's in stock but won't be installed until Friday. Yes, I said are "yfkm"? Did you not understand I flew someone in to be here this week and you dropped the ball? Friday rolls around and it's down pouring so again, it's a sh!t show no go. Sunday rolls around and I took the individual to the airport came home and looked at the awful red waterproofing mess for a week. I wanted to vent so I called the rude inconsiderate lady in scheduling asking her why she scheduled an outdoor job on a rain day? I told her part of her job is checking the weather forecast and schedule outdoor jobs accordingly. Her reply was " it's not my balcony install you watch the weather". People you can't make this sh!t up. My tile job did get installed the last of July and passed inspection by the the city August 4th, 5 MONTHS just to retile a condo balcony, UNBELIEVABLE! So I ask you, is this the crappy, sloppy service you want done at your home? Again, this is my opinion and experience with photos.

Immediately after posting the need for floor installation, I was on the phone with Eric, one of their sales reps., and we schedule a physical inspection and measurement of the property in question. The next day we met at the townhouse. Eric was concise, prepared, knowledgeable, and considerate. I presented him with the needs of the project at hand and he presented me we a set of options based on my budget. He was patient enough to let me make up my mind as I listened to other offers and compared quotes. And when I settled on Empire he immediately helped me schedule the installation. Getting the job done was flawless. Vanessa, who orchestrated the installation from Empire central, is quite good at keeping you informed, and maintaining the installed and me in constant contact as they made their way to my property for installation. They even called me when the installers picked up the materials to let me know they would soon be on the way to the property after another stop! The team in charge of the installation, led by Oscar Silvestre, was also incredibly profession, friendly, and knowledgeable. They did a job that years prior had taken installers an entire day in only half with double the quality of the previous installers. All in all, I was immensely satisfied with the job Empire did on my property. I thank them and for the reasons listed above highly recommend.

I was given a service window for today, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I cleared my entire schedule, took a day off from work, and lost a full day's revenue to be available. No one showed up. Not a single technician. Worse than the no-show was the complete and total breakdown in communication. I called Empire Flooring's customer service three separate times throughout the day, desperate for an ETA or an update. Each call was an exercise in futility. The representatives, while polite, were utterly powerless. They admitted they could not get in touch with their own service technicians or dispatch. They couldn't even reach a service manager. Not once did anyone from Empire Flooring--not a technician, not a manager, not a dispatcher--have the basic decency to call me to inform me they were running late, to provide a new ETA, or to tell me they weren't coming. I was left in limbo for ten full hours, staring at my ruined floor and waiting by the phone like a fool. This is not just poor service; it is profoundly disrespectful and unprofessional. You have wasted my entire day, cost me money from my job, and shown zero regard for my time or my significant investment in your product. The complete lack of internal coordination and customer courtesy is staggering. My expensive flooring is defective, and your company has demonstrated it cannot be trusted to honor its warranty or perform the most basic customer service function: communication. I am beyond disappointed. I feel cheated and ignored. Save yourself the immense frustration and financial risk. Look elsewhere. A company that treats its customers and their time with this much contempt after taking their money does not deserve your
