Unfortunately, this is not a good review, and it is not something I like to do. However, I feel…read morethis is necessary. We engaged John last November to do knock down ceilings and paint our entire house after he completed a very nice job on a flooring project the year before. This new project did not go well. We discussed and agreed to the project schedule and expectations. What transpired was a serious lack of transparency and management. We were taken advantage of including paying for work that was never done and were told it was, hurried work that required rework multiple times, schedule slippage by multiple weeks causing us to incur additional costs and rescheduling subsequent contractors. John discussed making things right, however we were well past the point of allowing for this to continue and paid for a different contractor to finish the remaining rework. I'm sorry to have to share this. Sharon G.

Luckily we had been planning to have the carpets redone anyways and we chose to work with Thoroughbred since several of our family members used their services. I'm quite surprised with these negative reviews - our experience was great all the way through. Every person we worked with was so honest and have transparent recommendations. Our installation guys they contracted with were so awesome and corrected a small issue they noticed right away with Thoroughbred with no additional hassle for us. Prices are very competitive and a great value and experience. We will definitely keep them in mind for other carpeting or flooring needs!

I asked the installers when they were here about what their opinion was of the carpet we bought - I thought it was telling when they told me that Josh and Joe don't mess around with cheap carpet. The end-to-end service went above and beyond anything I have experienced in home improvement stores. Josh and Joe actually care about their business because they own it, and you will not get shafted if something goes wrong like I have frequently have been when I have bought from big box retailers.

After the installation I discovered heat wasn't working in the unit which caused a few wrinkles in the carpet when we had the cold snap around New Years. Reached out to Mike and he had his son come out and stretch the carpet again, after which it looked great. The job was done right from the beginning and I'm impressed that he backed up his work even though the lack of heat that caused the wrinkles was my problem not his. Liked the whole experience...Mike knows his trade, friendly employees, the price was 40% less than Flooring Expo for exactly the same carpet and the best is it's family owned so you can address any concerns directly. I will hire Mike's company in the future without hesitation.

I had several quotes for flooring and carpet, and Empire Today stood out above the rest. Not only…read moredid they match a competitor's price by over $1,000 without any hassle, but their representative, Dmitri, was extremely thorough and knowledgeable. Every detail he provided aligned with other trusted quotes I received. The consultation was so impressive that I canceled other appointments and booked installation immediately. They delivered a fast timeline as advertised, and their professionalism was top-notch. I truly appreciated the service, and I'll be following up after the install--but from the consult alone, they went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

We had our flooring installed by Empire Today just over three years ago. About a year ago, we began…read morenoticing a bump in the floor extending to the wall, along with the LVP starting to rip up. After reaching out to Empire Today, an employee came to assess the situation. The technician removed more of the floor and used red tape to hold things in place, and then took more than three weeks to get back to us. We sent multiple emails during this period, yet received no response. When we finally heard back, we were told that the installers did not properly level the floor and that we would be charged over $1,200 to fix the issue. To say we are appalled by this response is an understatement. The problem was a result of an installation error on your part, and yet we are being asked to cover the cost of fixing it. This entire experience has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. We trusted Empire Today for a quality installation, but instead, we have been left with a costly and ongoing problem that we should not be responsible for. We are absolutely disgusted by the way this matter has been handled, and we will not be recommending your services to anyone going forward.

We replaced this year existing carpet vinyl with new carpet and luxury vinyl plank, and we can…read morewholeheartedly recommend Bloomington Carpet One (BCO)! Josh was our salesperson, and was tireless, knowledgeable, and patient in working out different options and educating us about the pros and cons. We did some comparison shopping. BCO's good pricing, their responsiveness and promptness, and them doing their own work (not subcontracting) were compelling, so we went with them. After we ordered the work, BCO was able to put the job on schedule within days. The BCO installers accidentally installed the vinyl plank in the wrong area. This error also led to some other issues. When BCO realized this, it immediately acknowledged its error and responsibility, and worked to correct as soon as it could. The BCO installers were back the next day to start addressing the issues, and Eric and another employee even visited the job after their workdays, just to evaluate and determine solutions. Matt (general manager) got involved at the end to make sure that we were satisfied with the resolution. (We were!) However careful a company is, some type of error will happen sometime to that company - that's a fact of life. How the company - and the people at the company - respond sets the great ones apart. And Bloomington Carpet One, through its actions and the actions of its employees, clearly distinguishes itself as a great company!

We went in wanting to just refinish our honey oak floors and we ended up tearing up carpet and putting down a new floor. We only had to be out of our house for one night and they worked with us to ensure we could BOTH work from home and the guy could get the work done. You WILL want to make sure that all your stuff is down...the equipment is heavy duty so a painting could fall if they hit a wall or the room will vibrate so just beware...if you are worried, move your stuff as they advise...we never took our doors off(closet) and the guy did it anyway so my guess is they would work with you if you are older and can't move certain things...overall, a great experience with Above All!

I needed my engineered hardwood floors refinished, and the first company I contacted barely looked…read moreat them before telling me they were too far gone and needed to be replaced. Thankfully, I got a second opinion from Dave's Master Floor Care. Dave carefully inspected the entire floor and explained that refinishing was possible -- and he delivered outstanding results with good value. Dave is thorough and an excellent communicator. He explained the types of wear on my floors and outlined his refinishing strategy step by step. With little room for error on this type of flooring, I appreciated his clear approach -- there's no "undo" button with refinishing! Dave also has tools I've never seen before -- it felt like he had a gadget for every challenge that came up. Plus, he's been doing this for years, so he knows how different stains and woods react. I even learned a bit along the way. And the best part? Dave does the work himself. Sometimes he brings an assistant to help with simple stuff, but you're really hiring him -- not a random crew. After seeing what he did with the floors, I also had him fix some big cracks in my garage and driveway too. Same story: great work, no fuss. If you want someone knowledgeable, equipped, and detail-oriented, I highly recommend Dave's Master Floor Care.

He provided a consultation for my indoor floors, but then I had him also look at my garage floor and he said he was able to do the work I was looking for, which is what I will be reviewing here today. I had a few cracks in my garage floor and was looking to Epoxy it to protect it for the winter. Dave explained to me his process and how it differs from the competition which helps keep his cost low. The best part about Dave was that he stuck to the quote he gave me, with no surprises or additional ask for money, and he started when he said he would, got the job done quick, and finished when he said he would - anyone who has worked with contractors before knows this is a rarity! Dave was respectful and treated the place with care, and I would recommend his work to others. We think the garage looks great! Dave is passionate about his work and did tend to over-explain some things to me, so some people might enjoy that more than others but it was great to hear how much he knew about the subject!
