    This is one of those company's that always wants you to pay upfront and then do not care how the job get's done. I basically paid $3500.00 to have 3 bedrooms and a master closet carpeted and they did $1300.00 worth of damage to my bathroom tile floors due to shoving heavy furniture on both the master and the guest bathrooms. I reported the damage to them and they offered me $250.00 for the damage which is not even close to covering the damage as they do not carry that tile any longer so I would have to replace the entire flooring in both bathrooms. The sales consultant gave me the BS canned response during his visit about being in business for 50 years and being a member of the BBB, but that does to mean they will stand behind their workmanship. Here again, I should have known better and not paid them upfront as once you do that, they have no motivation to make things right. I will NEVER use them again and will be sure to tell everyone I know not to do business with them.

    I had flooring installed in May and reached out via their chat since the wait time for customer service was over an hour with no response. It has been a week with no reply.

    Carpet not tacked down, entire hallway

    We weren't going to do a review, but decided to share our experience. You're reading this because A) you're looking for a flooring company, or B) you're completely pissed about how things went with this company and are looking to see If you're the only one who shares that sentiment. We got 3 quotes for our flooring job, the first two came in at around $6500, and we were very specific about what we wanted... 1/2" carpet pad, the best carpet, and engineered hardwood in one of the guest rooms. Empire's sales guy dropped by for the third company's quote and after a long presentation about 50% off and special deals due to the Covid situation, the list price was over $12,000 BUT, drum roll please, with the 50% off, they could do the job for around $6,500! My wife and I shared a giggle and a foot kick under the table. We couldn't help but like this guy, and the material was in stock, unlike the other two companies, so we decided to go with it. We made the appointment, carpet in a few days, wood flooring the following week. The morning of the appointment, we got a call that the installer called in sick... reschedule. We both stayed home and had cleared all the rooms, prepared for the carpet, a bit of an inconvenience. OK, a few days later, they show up. The installers were nice and did a good job. My only complaint was that one side of the hallway carpet came up from the floor due to there not being more than a couple tacks left on the old tack strip they reused. I called and texted, and then e-mailed the sales guy, got no response. I called the 800 number, left a message, got a call back a couple days later from some guy with an attitude who told me it's common practice to reuse tack strips. I replied yes, I know, but not when the strip is 40 years old and most of the tacks are missing or unusable. He sighed, and said they'd come look at it at some point, but I said don't waste your energy and then I went ahead and fixed it. A few days later, the guys who were going to install the wood floor showed up. I had removed the baseboards, because sales guy told me we could put 1/4 round over where the flooring met the baseboard... not the look we wanted. They walked in and plopped down a pile of some thin floppy rubber looking material with a picture of wood on it. This portion of the job was going to be around $1500, so at that point, looking at what probably cost them a couple hundred dollars in material at most, we politely asked them to leave. We bought some hardwood and did the job ourselves, underlayment included, for about $1,000 less. So, that's a long story only to share our experience with this company. You have to decide for yourself, maybe you'll have better luck. I have to say that the carpet is great, now that I've tacked it down completely. The fact that they tried to sell us that crap flooring for $1500 just really didn't sit well, so we wanted to share. Empire, please don't reply with that cut and paste "sorry to hear that, please call us", or "we can't find your account"... we're done, and all is good now. We'll put this behind us.

    See how much higher is the carpet than the tile. Door will not slide.

    Installed carpet and made pocket sliding door nonfunctional as it can't slide out. They say the contract stipulates doors might not work and I was now responsible for fixing it.

    The lazy installers somehow left a strip without any underlayment. Of course, you couldn't tell at first - until after the 1 year installation warranty had expired. Now, there's a huge dip with no padding, and they want $250 to fix it! It would have been so easy to get this right, and it's such a huge pain that they didn't. DO NOT use Empire. They just don't care.

It also had several gaps where the seams met. The installers assured me this was normal and that the seams would fade. I was shocked considering the price we paid for the carpet. Also, I asked a few experts in the area and they also agreed this was not correct at all. Well two weeks later and it honestly looked worse. So I called them back. They "fixed" the seams they said and left. I didn't have a chance to look before they left as I was on a work call. I checked shortly after and same deal. I ended up calling my project manager at Sunn and she came right out to check. Well lo and behold, she immediately could tell something was wrong even though the installers assured me twice that everything was ship shape. She had me send over a piece of the carpet to get tested by the vendor. That ended up being about a one month waiting period. The vendor got back to me and agreed that the carpet was defective and offered a full replacement at zero charge. They were extremely compassionate and empathetic, so it made me feel much better since the installers made me feel like I was going nuts. So we got the second install done on the carpet and it is MUCH better. There are still issues at a couple seams, so I am not 100% thrilled. But it did take care of the major issues we had. To be honest, I was pretty surprised the whole time that the GM or owner of Sunn carpet didn't follow up on this at all. The only thing that saved them from a one star review was their project manager to be honest. So I am so appreciative of her help in all of this. But I do think that better quality control would help this company a lot. Also, a follow-up after install to ensure customer satisfaction should be standard. But it is what it is. I would be a bit hesitant to use them for my next fooring project given the circumstances. But at least it wasn't left in the state of the first install. DM me if you would like the first or second install pics. If I posted the first install pics here I think it would severely hurt this business, so I refrained from that.

They Cristy was hands on from the very beginning and came out to give to some measurements and put together a quote. We picked out our flooring and scheduled the installation. Cristy was on time for every single appointment and followed up with us timely. My mother who lived with us passed the weekend before our installation was scheduled and Cristy made it so easy to reschedule. She even brought a card and flower by and dropped it off. I never expected that and it was so incredibly thoughtful. Finally the day came for installation. We went to stay at a hotel to get out of their way, we have a 9 month old who is into everything, so we thought it would be better to be out of the house. Cristy checked in with us daily to ensure we knew what was going on and if we were on schedule. The team was professional. They stayed later in the evening several nights to ensure the floors were completed in a timely manner.
