    Exposed nails at the top of our stairs.
    Pamela W.

    I used Empire once before to install carpet in my master closet. Small, easy job. They did well, so when we moved I hired them to replace all the upstairs carpets in our new home. They came as scheduled the first time. Installers worked all day and didn't leave until almost 11pm. I noted on the paperwork that the seams were all visible and that they would need to be fixed. The next day the installer returned. He said now that it was light out it was clear the company had sent him with rolls of carpet that don't match. Instead of a single roll from a single line, they were rolls with slightly different color, texture, pile height and density. The company said they could reorder the carpet and have them replaced. I said I wanted that done. They delayed 3 times. The first time was because of rain. The second was because their installer didn't show up. I was pretty upset by this time because we were trying to move in and the entire time we're waiting for the carpets I can't set up book cases or assemble my daughters beds or order furniture. We spent two weeks on hold. The third time they simply didn't show up, no call, no excuse. An installer finally came the following Thursday. We were incredibly relieved, and took him through to explain the situation and why the replacement was needed. He tore out all the carpet, started to put in the new carpets, and when he got to the first seam he told us the carpets were, again, mismatched. I called the local contact and asked what was going on, and she said, "I can request they send a single roll when I order the carpet, but I don't have any control over what they send." She said she could order the carpets again, but there was no guarantee they would send a single roll. I said that was unacceptable. Obviously they can't just install mismatched carpets, and keep reordering in the hopes that eventually they will get what they requested. It's absurd. We discussed our options with the installer, and he said that he could talk to his manager, that they should be able to order the carpet that day (a single roll, he said the upstairs could be done with one roll so it would all match), and that if they ordered it right away it would get there Friday and they could install it Saturday. We said that would be great. So they left without installing the rest of the carpets, because they would just have to tear them out on Saturday. In this entire experience, this installer was the only one who has exhibited any concern for our needs and made any effort to provide us with the service we expected when we hired Empire Today. He knew the concern, he recognized right away that there was a problem with the carpets Empire ordered, and instead of mindlessly installing carpets he knew wouldn't satisfy us, he tried to work with us to find a solution that would make everyone happy. I'm so disappointed that Empire didn't follow through or show anything near the same concern as the installer they hired. So they left on Thursday, with the expectation that the carpets would be ordered and installed on Saturday, and nothing happened. We were told the manager would call Friday. He didn't. The woman at the local office said the marketing manager would call me on Monday. He didn't. We started calling the local office on Monday and have received no answer, no call back. I started calling Empire's main office on Monday (July 26th). As with everyone else, each time I waited on hold for over an hour, was told they would try to get ahold of the local office, couldn't get ahold of the local office, would make a ticket, and then promised a call back. On Tuesday I explained that there are dozens of feet of exposed tack boards, literally hundreds of nails sticking up, with five kids in the house. My daughters have been sleeping on the floors for weeks. All the upstairs furniture is packed into our master bedroom or the girl's bathroom. I can't walk to my bed. The girls can't walk through their bathroom. The doors are all still off their frames. On Wed I explained that they are exposing themselves to a lawsuit, leaving the nails exposed and doing nothing to remedy the situation. Each day I was told that I would receive a call back the next day. They said since there was a safety concern it would be dealt with quickly. And yet, not a word. We have now been in this dangerous, unfinished state for a solid week. Not one employee from any office having anything to do with Empire has made any effort to reach out to us, despite the obvious urgency and the potentially disastrous ramifications if one of us were to be injured. They can claim to be concerned about our situations and say this doesn't meet their standards and promise to reach out soon. It's meaningless unless someone actually does something.

    Guy and his guys (Brandon and Chris) were absolutely phenomenal! The quality of their work put all…read morethe competition to bed! They are extremely responsive, personable, and listen to the customers needs. I was burnt by my first contractor and Guy helped me out step by step for that I needed to do - Brandon and Chris did the same. They even recommended others to make sure our bathroom remodel turned out just the way I wanted. The tile floor, backsplash behind the tub, and the entire shower was completed by them. I was expecting to pay way more than I actually did but was happy with the price I received! You've got to call guy if you have any tile or flooring needs. I will use them again!
