"We shopped the "Big Box Stores" and got both a carpet quote and a laminated wood floor quote, the quotes cost us $50, which is supposed to be credited to the order. Anyway, we called Empire Today because they give free quotes. After we negotiated a little the Empire rep's "all inclusive" carpet price quote was about $100 less than the Big Box carpet quote. The Empire quote for the laminate wood flooring was $300 higher, but the Empire rep also explained that they are the only ones anywhere that give a "topical water warranty" on laminate. Considering the customer service, warranty and price we are planning to go with Empire. We have to wait for our tax refund before we can actually make the purchase, but so far Empire is very fair."

"Had Empire sales rep stop by today. We where shown the 60% off and the not on sale carpet. Well the 60% off was only .06 cents cheaper than the normal price carpet. Which the normal price carpet was higher quality. We called the sale rep on it and we couldn't receive a clear straight answer.

Then we had the sales rep called "office" to get the best price on the carpet that wasn't on sale. They dropped the price almost 45%. Then we asked about the 60% off carpet and they dropped it to the same price range as the other carpet. My wife and I ask how is that possible. From that point on the sale rep attitude completely changed. The sales rep became rude and snooty.. and other few choice words that I would get this post removed."
