Empire Today - Frank Hernandez, G.M. in Phoenix Az

4 years ago I had Empire put premeum laminate flooring in the living room, Dining Room . The workers ran out of time and did not put the baseboards back in. I was sick at the time. When I felt better I called customer service and told them. They said I ran out of time to complain. Since then, last year I had flooring put in bathrooms, kitchen, hall ways and...

Empire Today Mirror closet door broke by installer

We have been calling empire from the day it was done. (found it 10 mins after they left) they sit our clean air machine in front so we did not see. Have called so many times, give us a reference # and told someone will call within 24 hours. Never happen. We have been trying to get this taken care of for 10 weeks now. When we did get to talk to a real person they told us they would replace the door. Never happen. Really sad that a company like empire would string a customer along this long. Ten weeks is a long time. Would I recommend empire? I don't think so. Would you?

Desired outcome: new doors that match

Empire Today - Carpet not installed in a timely fashion

We had a contract to install carpet set for today. It was about 10 and I had not received a phone call so responded to a text from Empire. About thirty minutes later I received a call. Their contractors license was not renewed and they just found out. Therefore it would be another four days before someone could come out and install the carpet. In the...

Empire Today - Carpet and customer service

On 12/11/2023 we had kitchen carpet installed by Empire Today. (order #PRJ002446947/SO02078709) Within a few weeks, we saw a tear in the fiber of the carpet and several areas where the carpet was fraying. We called Anthony Pacelli [protected] X3839) the general manager about the issue. He asked us to send pictures, which we did. After that Anthony did not...

Empire Today Kitchen flooring

I have had vinyl flooring put in my kitchen, back in 2019. It is white and looks like marble. Was told it was stain resistant, but it does stain. Ans not covered under their warranty. So I lived with it.

But more recently, I have two tiles that were coming off on the corners, and eventually cracked.

I called Empire, twice, finally someone came out to inspect and blamed it on moisture.

Now these 2 tiles are nowhere near any pipes, sink, window, or water of any kind.

They also said the whole floor would have to be replaced since they are all connected.

This was shoddy installation in the first place and something needs to be done at their cost. This is not my fault.

I wish I never used this company.

Desired outcome: New tiles replaced

Empire Today Home damage caused by Empire

This company has caused substantial damage to my home. They recently replaced the flooring throughout my house. The workers removed and reinstalled a toilet bowl and replaced it with a wax ring that was too small. Over the course of many months, toilet water slowly built up between the floor and the garage ceiling — this created damage, which they are refusing to repair. I have photo proof of the damages. My plumber has identified all of the blame is from Empire since the wax ring was too small, and each flush would slowly leak and accumulate below. The new wax ring my plumber installed fixed this issue immediately. In addition, all of the trim they installed is starting to peel, and a small area of the floor has already cracked and was replaced in less than a year. This leads me to believe their product won't last very long. I would not trust working with Empire in any capacity.

Claimed loss: $6k

Desired outcome: Refund and apology.

Empire Today - LVP (Vinyl Plank Flooring)

On 7/16/22 we paid $10,000 to Empire Today to have Vinyl Plank floors installed in all rooms of our home with the exception of two bedrooms to be done later. The salesman that came out to our home and sold us the floors told us this type of flooring will not buckle,warp,scratch, or dent and was water-proof so we took his word for it.

Empire Today Laminate lifting

Had a carpet and laminate install 08/19/23. Several things incomplete. Bullnose to garage (now complete 8 weeks later) baseboards in three carpeted rooms (still not complete). Top layer of laminate lifting in the kitchen area and the upstairs hallway. Not the board but the laminate attached to the board. We had the company come back to access and they blamed it on my dog. Really? I found this out after the rude customer service rep called to check on the quality of service. The initial job overall is nice, but these things are a headache and to get them back out to take care of is awful. I purchased a warranty and just want my flooring that i paid for to be right. My dog did nothing in the kitchen or hallway to lift the flooring. It seems like maybe a bad box of laminate got laid. The rep gave us no time to talk she was just rude. I want resolve immediately.

Claimed loss: $10,000

Desired outcome: Repaired flooring

Empire Today Flooring Installation

Sales representative told me the total price would be $7550, and asked me to sign a contract for over $9700, but not to worry because it would "take a few hours" for the updated discount price to be reflected. I emailed him the following day to ask about when the updated contract would arrive, and I got an email bounce back saying the mail couldn't be delivered. Very shady. Also, the contract says you can send them cancellation via email, but doesn't provide any information on where to send the email or how to confirm that the cancellation was accepted.

Desired outcome: Provide honest information during the sales process, and provide clear information in the contract about where to send the cancellation.

Empire Today 30 day refund policy

On September 14, 2023 I had Empire Today come to my home to give me an estimate on carpet and vinyl flooring. I knew I was gonna be comparing pricing being that this was my first time getting my floors done but the price I was given would only be valid if the offer was excepted and a deposit was made on that day. Estimate was $10918.80 and a deposit of $5460 was made. I read that it take 30 days for a refund it’s now October 24, 2023 and still no refund. Looks like Empire Today is sticking it to me cause of my decision to use another company.

Empire Today Carpeting

On 10/16/2023 I had carpeting installed in our newly finished basement. The gentlemen that were her to install were pleasant - but they did a job on my walls with dents, scratches, and dirty hand prints on my newly sheet rocked, newly painted walls. I called customer service and was advised the contract stipulates that you may get some scratches … which I get … but this was excessive.

The sales people that came earlier were excellent too.

This is an unfortunate situation as the carpeting looks great, but the wall damage has soured our experience with you. I will now pay my contractor to redo the painting, at my expense because of the actions of your agents.

Desired outcome: Reimburse me for the cost of repainting the walls.

Empire Today Laminate

We purchased waterproof laminate and the day of installation a substitute product was delivered and installed. We spoke to our salesperson and were told this was simply the next boxes in the supply chain. We were not told the switched product was water-resistant. Further, the quarter-round installed was not what was selected. We attempted to contact the main office and never got a response.

Desired outcome: We want Empire to provide, free of charge, the warranty for our floors since we have lesser quality flooring. We want Empire to provide a $3000 refund so we can purchase and install matching quarter-round.
