Service was okay but wasn't great. Quality of carpet wasn't great either and was pulling up in less than 7 months.

There is an excellent presentation of flooring choices, but no option to "test".

Consumer from Seattle, WA

Empire had to reschedule me 3 times because they did not have enough installers available, their van broke down, the arriving installers saw my piano and said they were not allowed to move pianos. I was not told that up front so had to hire a piano mover and reschedule. If I had been employed I would have had to take 3 days off work instead of just one.
