Txt message offering to come and fix it
Jorge G.

After many months, I am still waiting. These people are professionals, but not for carpeting, to scam people. Several managers told me that they will help me. So far, nothing. They left voice messages saying they will help me but actually when you call back nobody answers, never. I think it is the old trick of a dummy extension. I accepted even to pay for the fix... but not even with that they want to come to fix their mess. I will have to call another company to fix this. After only 2 years, I have to spend more money to change or fix my carpet.

Master bedroom floor (South Gate Hickory Shadow laminate floors)
Derrick S.

This was my first time using Empire Today and overall my experience was absolutely AMAZING. I had a competent sales lady who helped me to find laminate floors that blended well with the other laminate floors I purchased from another vendor a year ago. I ended up getting floors placed in three bedrooms. At first I was going to do only two bedrooms, yet I wanted to ensure all three bedrooms had the same color floors. I requested during my estimate for the installers to move furniture I had in my master bedroom; one of the other rooms was empty and the second bedroom had boxes I was storing. The sales lady said, "No problem." She included my request for items to be moved on the cost which was rather inexpensive. On the day of the installation, I had a team of three to arrive. The team arrived at 10:00 a.m. They were polite, proficient, and courteous. I had moved everything out of the rooms but told them I would need assistance moving items back into their prospective places. I was again told, "No problem." This time it was spoken by the installer. They had to remove carpet out of all the rooms which was disposed of properly. The job was completed by 2:45 p.m. which included them assisting me with moving things back. They even did a great job cleaning up behind themselves. I was super excited with my experience with both the sales lady and the installers. Here is a little extra note-Empire Today provides financing through Wells Fargo if you do have the cash on hand or don't want to part with it at once.

He found us an amazing product at a great price and we felt totally at ease with him. He's super knowledgeable and you can tell he sincerely cares about his customers. No gimmicky sales tactics, no high pressure, which I appreciated compared to some of the other companies that came to give us quotes. The installers did an amazing job and our new floors look awesome. I'm sure these floors will last and be super durable for our rental. Do not hesitate to call Brian, he is amazing and will take great care of care of you (and save you money!)

Brian is so knowledgeable and incredibly dedicated to making sure that you get the best possible outcome. He went above and beyond any service provider I have ever worked with, and was there from start to finish with a level of support that is unmatched. He made the decision making process so easy and enjoyable, and the flexibility and turnaround time was unbelievable. Our project came through under budget and ahead of time, and the quality and professionalism is undeniable. We absolutely LOVE our new floors, and we can't wait to work with Flooring by Patterson again soon!

I could not recommend them more highly. We had a bit of a tricky install because we were adding on to existing wood floors. The crew did an awesome job and were able to integrate the new flooring without the need for transition strips. Their tile work was exceptional as well. On top of all that, they were courteous, hard working, trustworthy, and clearly took a lot of pride in their work. Review #1 From the start, Colby at Flooring Warehouse was responsive, helpful, communicative, and professional. He made the experience of replacing all the old, dated flooring in our 1970s townhouse seamless and painless. The end result is a mix of tile and hardwood and looks fantastic!

It was a pleasure to work with Danny on product selection, purchase and installation. I never felt rushed while I was looking at different flooring products. Danny explained the pros and cons of the various types of flooring. He allowed me to take home several colors so I could see what color worked best in my home. He responds to calls and texts, is very professional and kind. The man (sorry don't remember his name) who installed the product did a wonderful job. installing the new flooring and removed the carpet that was being replaced. There was no trace of any trash, dirt or prior carpet left at my home. He made sure that the floor was level before installing the product. I was able to go to work and felt comfortable not being home while the flooring was being installed. The installer contacted me when he was just about finished and waited for me to return so that he could go over the installation with me. Smooth process from the beginning to the end. I believe that the product I selected is of great value and should any problems arise that they will be handled in a professional manner. Thanks Danny! The floor looks great!

No call back after talking to the lady who answered the phone. Called again two more times over 10 days and left messages. Still no call back. Finding a carpet repair company turned out to be hard, but most other companies were responsive and said they don't do that work--I respect them getting back to me and I will Not review them. I take exception to The Carpet Specialist who failed to respond to numerous inquiries. What does that say if you hire them and they need to come back? Will they "ghost you?"

They said they would turn my invoice into the office then they would email me and it's been over a week. I called them a few days later and the lady never picked up and now the phone call goes straight to voicemail. The address listed for this business is an apartment which I believe is illegal to run a business from a residence. I'm assuming they are dodging tax by not providing me a receipt. I really need this receipt as we sold our home and need to provide to the new buyer. I have a couple of stars because they did a pretty good job. I will report them to the BBB for not providing an invoice as well as running a business from a residence. Also I thought they charged a bit high for the amount of work that they did. I would definitely get an estimate and shop around before using them in the future, especially if you need warranty or an invoice.

I could not have been more pleased with the service provided. We were scheduling a lot of repairs to the house - drywall repair, carpet repair, moving company to move us in, etc. Point being, there were a lot of moving parts here and Roberts Carpet communicated beautifully throughout the process of when the carpet would arrive, when it could be installed, etc. This was critical as we were doing the painting and the drywall repairs first. Then had the carpet done, then moved our belongings into the house. Robert's carpet stayed right on schedule as promised and did a wonderful job! We feel like we have a brand new house and are very pleased with the work that was done. On top of how great they were, we were also extremely satisfied with the price. Hopefully I won't need new carpet anytime soon, but if I do, I know who I'm calling... ROBERTS CARPET!

I visited this store on a Saturday looking for an engineered hardwood floor that would be similar…read moreto the one I had installed in my house and I was able to find it there. Joe, the salesperson, wasn't very friendly from the beginning, but since I really needed the hardwood, I decided to go ahead with the purchase. I noticed an extra $75.00 charge on the receipt and asked him what was that about and I was told it was the charge to have the product delivered. He didn't seem to be willing to explain where the product would be delivered to - my house, that store, somewhere else - and I had to keep asking again and again until he finally said I would need to pick it up at a warehouse. At which point, I asked why the delivered charge even existed, since I would have to pick up the product myself, and he said it was "for gas". By the time I noticed the charge, I had already paid for it, but I think he should have informed me about the charge beforehand and explained properly that I would have to go and pick it up. He told me I would get a phone call the following Monday or Tuesday (I made the purchase on Saturday) from the warehouse for me to pick up the boxes. He said twice, pointing the finger at my face, to not call the warehouse, which I found even more strange and unreasonable. I waited Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and nobody contacted me, so I decided to call Wednesday afternoon. Bill, the person who answered the phone informed me that the paperwork related to my order had arrived on Tuesday (the day Joe told me I would receive a call from the warehouse to pick up the product) and they would probably receive it on Thursday. It felt really bad to find out I had been lied to by the salesperson and to have been treated in such a patronizing and disrespectful way.

The work was done beautifully and there was clear communication the entire way through. Doug and his staff really know their stuff and are great to work with.

Several years before, the previous owners had installed quality engineered hardwood floors downstairs and on the stairs to the second floor, but left carpeting in the two upstairs bedrooms, hallway and closets. Our go-to family owned local flooring company closed after 77 years of outstanding service to our previous two homes, so we looked for a company to take their place. Of the few area flooring companies we researched and visited, Flooring Inspirations made the best impression and did not let us down. A competitive quote, great communication before, during and after the job, and excellent execution by the installation crew. Ramon, Zora, Doug and the installation crew each took ownership of the job, matched the previous flooring exactly, solved minor issues without hesitation and worked hard to show they deserved our business. Would not hesitate to use again.
