Empire Today Damaged wood work and door frames more than small scratches. Carpet installed on 11/25/14. Promised to pay for damages, one month has passed and no check received. Can not get any information concerning repairs. I have pursued all the follow ups. I do not plan to deal with this inadequacy any longer neither will I purchase any other flooring. Buyer beware.

2014-12-31 Carpet was installed on 11/25/2014 by Empire Today. Carpet was installed well but minimal damage became moderate damage to wood work, base boards and door frames. I reported the problem within the next day and one of the mangers with three other gentlemen came out to inspect the work. I was instructed to get 3 estimates and submit to office. I was able only to get 2 estimates and informed Shaundra at Empire of the 2 estimates and submitted to company. After a couple of weeks I had not heard from anyone and called to follow up. I was told estimate was to high and need further information from the painters. I had the painters to return to my home to take requested information and resubmitted to Empire. One of the painters,whom I requested spoke from my home to a Chuck and they agreed on a price to do the repairs. No check yet. I called Empire again and spoke with Shaundra on 12/22/14 and she stated check was mailed on 12/19/2014. No check came that week. Called again after Christmas,no one seems to know what is happening with the check to pay for repairs. I have become weary trying to get the repairs done and at this point I think Empire owns me more than the repairs. Never will I do business with this company again! The carpet has a 20 yr warranty. Heaven forbids if anything should go wrong. I wonder how long it would take to get repairs done for carpet ?

Unfortunately, you didn't install my carpet. Secondly, there is no one that lives on this floor of my house. So wear and tear -no. My home had none of this damage before the installation. The problem will be resolved. Apparently you did not read BB report. I am happy to know that you are more considerate of your customers' property.

HELLO , I HAVE BEEN INSTALLING CARPET FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE INSTALLERS DID THAT KIND OF DAMAGE TO THE WOODWORK,THAT IS FROM YEARS OF WEAR AND TEAR ON IT IF THEY DID ANY DAMAGE IT WOULD BE SLICES FROM BLADES OR MAYBE SURFACE SRCATCHES FROM BACKING OF CARPET NOT THE DEEP GOUGES THAT ARE IN THIS PIC. THAT IS WHY THE ARE NOT PAYING YOU SORRY
