Has anyone used Empire Today for flooring installation? If so, what was your experience with regards to price?
I am looking at laminate. HD has a good deal on installation right now and would like a comparison.

My step mom had them come in. Disaster! They ended up adding charges for every little thing and the end result was awful. Check around your area and find someone with an A+ rating with the BBB and ask for references. Make sure they are a flooring only company. This is a big purchase and you don't want to deal with some fly-by-night outfit.

I've never used them and probably won't simply because of all the fine print they flash on screen with their endless commercials. Any company that uses that much fine print is trying to hide something.

Thanks for the responses!
I looked at their website and all they show are small color samples but do not show the exact flooring they offer. For example, Shaw Light Oak for $3.00 a sq.ft.
I am also going to check out Lumber Liquidators.

Live in Southern Ca. They wanted over $1000 to carpet a 13 x 14 bedroom with low to average carpet quality and little color selection. Shiesters (sp).

For what it's worth, my friend used Lumber Liquidators and they don't recommend them at all. Every box had all kinds of defective boards in them and they wouldn't make it good. In the end, they had to buy way more than they needed to get enough 'good' boards to finish their home.

Ugh! Looks like I will NOT be calling this company! Thanks for the input!
Nothing like trying to jack up the price on a large purchase. Adding in additional charges when they quote you a price is dishonest.
I guess they have to pay for all of those catchy commercials!

I used a local flooring company for some other floors and they were good. I might check them out again.
I guess Lumber Liquidators sells seconds and that is why they price is cheap.
