Hello,
I don't know if this question belongs here, but here goes.
Has anyone ever used Empire Carpet for putting carpetting in their home?
How is their work? and their cost?
Thank you,
Peter.

Buyer beware!!
They are subcontracting out the installations. They advertise next day installation. If a subcontractor is always available the next day, you wonder why they are not booked weeks ahead of time, if they are that good. Because they aren't. Bidding at the backdoor loading dock begins at 7 am and goes to the lowest bidder. Let the corners get cut to slap it in as fast as possible. The good easy jobs are bid on first.
A formula for diappointment.
Actually most flooring retailers that subcontract out installations, are run this way. Unless your in a state that has lisencing for the flooring trades, as a mandatory requirement.
You'll be lucky to find a flooring retailer that has employees, installing the products they sell.
