I live in Frisco, and we are wanting to replace carpet upstairs and on stairs, replace tile in the kitchen, and put hard woods in the bedrooms. Has anyone used empire today? how was it? The price? Do you have another suggestion? We want to do it at a low price but get quality work done so it will last! Thanks!
In my opinion, they did not have a good selection of products to choice from. What I wanted was something they didn't stock. Try Home Depot -- even if you want something that is not available in their store, they can order just about anything...

We used Empire Today and they were great. They came in tore out the ceramic tile in th entry way and the carpet in the hallway and the living room and laid the laminate in a matter of about 6 hours. We were very impressed and the floors look great!!
My advice ... stay away from them! Course my only experience with them was in Northern Virginia ... We were on a super tight deadline to put our house on the Market - so they seemed ideal ... we were going to go with them knowing it may be a little more $ b/c of the great time factor ..... long story short ... we got a local carpet company to come just a day after the day empire 'would' have come .. they installed all the carpet beautifully and when Empire quoted me $2500 ... the local carpet place was only going to charge $1100!!!! Can you say HUGE difference!!! Needless to say ... I was horrified at Empire's price!
I almost used them, and was warned that some of their products are cheap quality, but still expensive. A lot of times if they are out of a product, they will talk you into something else saying it is the same quality. Their prices are very comparable to Home Depot, etc. I think there main perk is that they are quick,etc. but if you have the time, you may want to go elsewhere. I am sure some of their reps are honest, but I have heard some horror stories regarding bad contractors, bad carpet, etc. If you type in Empire Today at Yahoo.. you will find a lot of complaints.
Good Luck!
