Empire Today Installed brand new carpet in 2014!

My wife and I purchased Carpet, Laminate wood flooring, and Tile for our Condominium before we moved in. It is only my wife and myself, we have no children, and no pets…and yet we have two (2) wrinkles in the carpet, we did almost 4000.00 of work with Empire Today. The first time I reached out too Empire Today, they actually gave me a service number. No one every called me. Then Ms Mary E. Steele reached out to me after almost a year goes by too tell me they cannot stretch our carpet they installed because it’s too old, she said the material Empire Today uses could not withstand the stretching of the two (2) wrinkles!

Desired outcome: I want our wrinkles removed.

We also bought all new wood window blinds from Empire Today! And We’re having a difficult time with customer service to remove 2 wrinkles from our carpet, both are right next to transition strips.

Empire Today Product and service

We had vinyl flooring installed from Empire Today. We started this process last October. The crew came out put new floor on top of old floor. We had to have white quarter round because it was the only color he had on his truck. The salesman told us we wouldn't need quarter round but that was wrong. After the crew left, the next day the floor had a rip in it and many bubbles. There were many issues with the job that was done. It took us many times of emailing and talking to get someone to come out and look at the job. We specifically asked for someone other than the contractor. They sent the original contractor out. I had to call back and request someone else come out and look. It took over a month to get someone out to look at the terrible job the contractor had done. He took pictures and it was decided that we would get a new floor and the crew would fix all the things that needed to be fixed. The second crew came out and removed both floors (new and old) and put down a new floor. Although they did a good job with doing what they were told, the floor was laid on subflooring that had many imperfections (dried glue, etc) therefore you could see every ripple, imperfection in the floor. Again, we complained and it took a long time for them to decide to come back out and redo the floor again. The same crew came out and questioned us as to what they were supposed to do. There is no communication. I told him we were told that you would take up the floor and put something between the subfloor and the new floor. They completed the job on March 15th. Again, the crew did a good job. My issues are with Empire Today. It took 6 months, many, many phone calls, emails to get it done right. I had to call a salesman in the Baltimore office at least 4 times to get any answers. he was the only one that would answer his phone. I had to move furniture, clear out cupboards three times. I asked for a discount for all out frustration and incompetence on your part. They said that they could give me 20% off and I said I need to speak to someone else. He came back and said that the most he could give me is $500.

Picture were taken both times by your people.

Desired outcome: I think what we went through is unacceptable (6 months, three installations, I moved everything, many phone calls and emails (spent time). we should be given more than $500. You should give us the floor for free.

I am dealing with this EXACT SAME ISSUE. I was told that we were going to have leveling agent put on the subfloor along with an underlayment. Neither of those are done and there are very noticable high and low spots in the floor. The bathroom vinyl cracked, so they sent someone out to fix that and I. Doing so they broke my toilet and put a hole in the wall. I told them I needed an ADA compliant toilet and they brought back a standard one (which I CAN'T use) and it's the cheapy Lowe's brand toilet and I had just RECENTLY installed a nice Jacuzzi brand one 6 months earlier.

Now they're trying to say there is no record of any complaints. I'm SO FRUSTRATED. This is the worst company I have ever had to deal with in my life! I would recommend them to my worst enemy.

Empire Today Window blinds

The blinds we ordered will not go up or down and I am not able to get anyone to return my calls. I was able to speak to three people within a month. With a promise that someone will define get back to me. NOTHING. I was finally told

that Empire no longer services blinds. They referred me to GRAYBER. Still nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Desired outcome: Fix my blinds

Empire Today Laminate floors

1) unable to get even least bit of shine. Shows footprints. Spills or pet urine seems to have ruined floor in that place. Never looks healthy or clean. Very unhappy.

2) The quarter rounds are covered in paper? What stupid idea. Parts of them have peeled off due to mopping floors. Unable to get rest of paper off so I can paint them.

3) Installers did not install openings for registers enough to reinsert register covers. The inside metal is very bent making registered uncovered. Register on floor in front to kitchen sink is completely covered up. The floor becomes quite hot.

4) TV advertising is untruthful.

I've been so unhappy but hesitate to complain but I can't stand these floors.

Maureen Basch

Desired outcome: I honestly don't know because I would want replacement & end up with the same results. Otherwise. Replacing them would be only option.

Empire Today Carpet purchase and installation

2/1/2022 Charles sold us carpet for 2 rooms at a total price of 1800. I signed on his tablet and was told he was going to put the discount in to get the price down to the 1800. 1-he did not

2/4/2022 Carpet was glued down in bedroom in error and color was wrong. 2/5 Returned and pulled up carpet. Glue wet. Waited a week to dry, still tacky. We had to buy plastic which cost us 38.00 to put down over glue.

2/19 Installer put down tack strip & pad and rolled out carpet and told us it was 4" too short.

2/22 Installer finished job, right color, but tried to collect 600.67 from us that we didn't owe. We had already paid 537.20 &1262.79 (disputed after carpet was glued). Total: 1800.

The collection agency called stating I owed 500 more and I told the story and agent said it was awful service and understood why I didn't owe anything and was to check on the 10%credit. I called installation 2 x since and was told yes gong to cut you a check. Will call you back. Never got called back.

On CC dispute it says we received an allowance of 328.26 plus a accommodation of $200. We did not receive the $200 and not sure what the $328.26 was about.

We feel we were manipulated by the salesman who never put the right price in. Also, way too many errors in installation as well. No expertise on part of salesman. He said would be fine to glue carpet down in living room and there are too many bumps under the carpet in the hallway... looks bad and we are now stuck with it. We didn't foresee this, but Charles should have.

Desired outcome: We had asked for $200. which was 10% off the 1800.00 price and we were told by the installation department that it was a very reasonable request because of all the errors made. We never received the check.

Empire Today Cancelation

We had a rep come out on Thursday. We told the sales person that we were not sure because if We don't get enough We can't do it. He said we can cancel at any time. Upon reviewing the contract that was not true. Also I asked for the square footage though he was going to send it. I called Friday and the rep said someone would call me in 24 hrs. Still no call and it's Monday night. We don't have an address to cancel the contract. Email or e send whatever it is. We have done business with your company before but this is unacceptable. All someone had to do is get back to us.

Desired outcome: Cancelation of contract

Empire Today Vinyl installation 4/7/21

I signed a contract with Empire Today to have my carpet removed from my stairs and to be replaced with Bradstreet vinyl. I asked the sales person if Empire employees would be doing the labor, he assured me yes and went on with some spill. The morning of the installation a man shows up who's first language was not english in a company truck that did not read Empire Today and his shirt matched his company truck name...He did a good job of ripping out the carpet and replacing it with the vinyl. He used wide masking tape to hold each step (18) together and as he left my home, advised me that I can remove the tape after a couple of days...I told him that I paid for a completed job and that I would not be removing 4 x 18 pieces of tape off my steps, I did not sign the completed form. I called Empire to have him come back, a couple days later he did and removed the tape. After about 6 months the glue began to come apart and the vinyl was loosening,,,several calls to Empire they sent the same man to re do about 4 steps. Now I am very close to my 1 year and 1 step is showing glue the vinyl is pulling away. I have been calling Empire for about a month attempting to get someone out before my warranty is up to repair my step. Still waiting. I would not recommend Empire Today to do any work for anyone. Poor customer service, poor workmanship. Next step will be to sue.

Empire Today Empires Failure to Issue cancelation refund due to error on their part

A quote for 3 rooms of carpet and 1 room of vinyl was given on 2/28 around 5:00 pm from Luna (owned by Empire). Salesmen said they would drop the price if we immediately signed a contract and paid a deposit. He told us we could cancel within three days of signing the contract by phone. We paid a deposit of $2826.50 to find out the "sales price" and the next day got a competitor's quote that was over $2,000 cheaper than Empire. I called to cancel the purchase on 3/2 before noon (inside the three days per the contract terms). I was given a hard time and a run around until they eventually canceled the order. I spoke to Alex Solo who gave me the cancellation number [protected] and promised a refund in 7-10 business days. I called and spoke to Vanessa the following day (3/3) and she verified the cancellation but gave me a different cancellation number: [protected]. We have not received our reimbursement by 3/18 (12 business days). I called again on 3/18 and spoke to Ebony who verified my order was canceled and a refund should have been issued but gave no reason why it hadn't. She put me on hold for 30 minutes before hanging up. I called back and spoke to Gail who determined that the individual who canceled our transaction did so incorrectly without inserting the required project number, therefore the refund had not been issued in the system. I asked to speak to a manager as that’s unacceptable. I was transferred to floor supervisor Viri G said would submit an email to top management to have this refund approved, but it may be another 7-10 business days and I should receive a call from higher management by Monday at the latest. Empire/Luna is not honoring its own contract, and this is unacceptable. A mistake on their part is an unacceptable reason to delay my refund an additional 7-10 business days when its already been 12 business days. I followed the terms of the contract and expect the same from the company. I want my refund and shouldn't have to keep calling for it.

Desired outcome: Process my Refund

Empire Today Vinyl Plank

Second Complaint! I asked not to put in touch with the same installers, because the was too much confusion! So what did you do send me to the same installer! They told me you people don't care and i had to deal with them! I blocked their phone number and wish never to hear from them! So, it's true once the floors are installed and they have your money, Empire Today doesn't care any longer about your problems! I would never recommend your services to anyone! Now i'm stuck with shifting floors and gaps that cost over 8,000 dollars! Your Customer Service Is Worst I Ever Dealt With!

Empire Today Laminate and Tile Installed - Base Strips are HORRIBLE

Placed order for laminate and tile in early January. Laminate was installed on 1/17/22. The tile installation was not started until MARCH 9th and completed on the 12th! Tile job took 3 days to complete - we refused to take another day off on Friday. They returned Saturday at 8am and finished at 5pm.

Problems:

1. Three guys showed up, but we found out there was an incorrect amount of materials. We had to call the installation supervisor to resolve. Two of them left to get the other materials - BUT NEVER CAME BACK.

2. Told by sales rep old floor was fine to lay tile over. Installers said NO, the old floor needed to be removed.

3. The ONE guy was left alone to start job - ALONE which took all of Wednesday.

4. Thursday they show up together, but again LEFT the guy alone to do tile work. He worked as best and as quickly as he could. Completed most of the kitchen and half of the hallway. He left at 7pm.

5. Thursday evening called customer service and asked for supervisor. To date (3/15/22), no call has been received. Texted number we had for the installer to advise we would not be taking a THIRD day off and staying home on Friday so they could come back Saturday morning. That we were also waiting on a call back from a supervisor.

6. Once the installation was done at 5pm on Saturday, I did the walk through and advised the installer of my concerns. It was hard for either of us to understand each other because neither of them spoke ANY English. We tried to translate through an app.

7. Installer was shown the gaps between the laminate and tile, the thresholds LIFTING, gaps under the base trim from the kitchen floor, crumbling grout, etc. It was blamed on the laminate flooring installation. (?)

8. The remainder of Saturday and all day on Sunday and Monday I tried to reach someone at Empire to address the issue. The phones just rings and rings until you are sent to various voicemails.

Desired outcome: The flooring is fine, but the trim and the threshold from one area to the next are a hot mess!! The company needs to fix this.

Empire Today Carpet installation

We purchased carpet and installation for our house and were told it would be done in one day. It was, except that they pulled up the molding around the old carpets and did not reinstall it; the technicians said that a different group in their company did that and they would call us to schedule that. They did not call us. We called them and were told they have three business days to call us back (not to do the work, just to call us back) and they were sorry our salesperson did not make that clear. However, it has now been 4 business days and they have still never called us back, much less scheduled OR performed the reinstallation of our molding. We have had to cancel the rest of our house selling activities as we can't even tell the realtor when our house will be ready since we have no scheduled install, nd now apparently we have to find someone...and pay someone else...to come give us a quote to reinstall all the molding.

Desired outcome: Would like them to come reinstall the molding by COB 16Mar2022, or reimburse us for what it will cost us to have someone else come do it.

Empire Today Vinyl Plank Flooring Shifting and No Help!

Empire today, Customer Service Gets A Big Fat ZERO! You call and you get a number to call in your area. This is where you have to do everything yourself. You call and you are dealing with the installer and their awful customer service.Why: do i have to do this? Empire today should be doing this.They don't because they already have your money. My vinyl plank floors are just over a year old and are moving and shifting. I don't exactly when i first spoke to Stephanie Brown, but it took a while when she got back to me,it during Covit and i understood they it could take a while. When she finally got back she said she was having personal problems, okay! after many phone calls i get a appointment on a saturday, get a call installer can't make it, he's on another job. so they agree to come the next Sat. and we get a call he can't make it,he will be coming next week, no call no show, by this time i no longer want him to come back. No call back for a few weeks,Stephaine tells me she had Covit,Okay I called every Friday for a Month and no call back.Talked to the sales to help but nobody seems to want to help me. After speaking to supervisors, putting in two corporate tickets, i still haven't heard from no one!

I asked that the people who installed by floor not come back, because of all the confusion. You sent them to call me and i don't wish to hear what they have say. I want someone else, but i was told that it's not going to happen. So i will find someone else to fix the the problem and will never buy or recommend Empire Today to anyone. I should report this to Better Business Bureau,because you are unable to do what the customer asks!

Empire Today Laminate flooring

Empire Today in the Boston area installed laminate flooring in two bedrooms and a hallway on January 26, 2022. Previously we had good luck with this company, but this installation crew were simply awful. They didn't let me know when they were arriving. Once here, they refused to wear masks in my home despite my request that they do so because I have fragile elderly parents. Since they weren't wearing masks, I avoided going down there to check their progress. There was also a huge language barrier. When my husband got home from work he went down to check on the progress and discovered they were installing our bedroom flooring in the dark with just a cell phone flashlight. My husband gave them a floor lamp so they could see what they were doing. They were running late (didn't leave until about 8 p.m.) and it is obvious they rushed the last part of the job, which was the hallway. There are huge gaps between the flooring and the trim and they slopped caulking all over the place. It's incredibly unsightly. I have left many, many messages asking them to fix this problem and they will not return my phone calls.

Desired outcome: I would like them to call me back and give me an email address so I can send them photos. I would also like them to send a different crew in to fix the problem,

Empire Today Replaced carpet with laminate

Replaced out carpet in December. A few days after installation floors starting bubbling up and large gaps appeared between the planks. Empire sent a team to fix it. The team cut the bubbled planks out and used super glue to insert new ones, leaving shiny super glue residue over the flooring. Less than a week after repairs were done, more bubbling has appeared on the tiles and gaps continue to show every day. You can actually see and feel the flooring shift. Empire sent a manager to inspect it who confirmed this was a manufacturer defect and told me they would need to replace the entire flooring. A few days later the local office tells me they will not be replacing the floors but only fixing a few of the bubbling tiles. Called them again to issue a complaint as now the tiles are shifting dramatically and making noise when you walk on them and they told me there is nothing scheduled for my address- no repair or replacements.

Desired outcome: Would like a refund. Have been dealing with this for months and cannot get a straight answer. At minimum would like a replacement to quality materials as we paid for best one we could get.

Empire Today Flooring

Here's a update to my dispute with Empire Today.

They came out and refused to replace the flooring that was damaged by them taking the flooring protection that was there before they came to install the new flooring.

I have text messages from them saying they would be replacing the flooring on 2/22/22.

So again stay away from empire today.

Desired outcome: They have already wasted 2 days of mine I only want the money back now.I still will need to hire someone else to replace the flooring

Empire Today Laminate flooring - had for less than a year - had 5 different service calls

The first installers put the quarter round on and did not caulk it, so there were large obvious gaps, and he said I could do it later. Also cut the carpets too short and the under padding, my bedrooms now look like crap. So I called Empire and had them come back and fix it. Also cut the carpets too short and the under padding, my bedrooms now look like crap. The transitions did not match or go with the floor, they eventually peeled with in a year and they replaced them. Then the hallway separated, I had a different person show up, he literally kicked it back in place. Two weeks later they were gapped, they sent a different guy out and he determined there was a flaw in the flooring, the same guy that kicked my floor came back they replaced the entire hallway. Then the floor in the kitchen cracked in one spot where they went over the nail, and the ugly mismatched transitions finally got replaced. This group of subs took the dirt and literally swept it under my little carpet in the kitchen and hid the dirt under the cabinet.

For all of this, I had 5 days that I had to make arrangements with my job to work from home. Empire offered me a credit for $75.00 I spent close to 5k on these floors - thanks for the added insult

Desired outcome: compensation for the lousy subs they keep sending me, and better vetting for their subs
