Empire Today installed Galewood series vinyl Plank flooring in our house (1,200 s ft - cost 8.1k) with a "lifetime" wear and structural warranty in September of 2021. The prior laminate floor was fine - 4 worn boards that could have been replaced - but was an ugly yellow. Empire removed old laminate and installed vinyl flooring. We bought a new vacuum, use only Swiffer, and got new feet and rollers for all our furniture - based on what we were told the warranty required.
A few months later I called because the floor edges were starting to pull up in a few spots. The person who led the install team came out and said there were NO on-site issues that would cause the problem and that they would have someone call to schedule a warranty repair. A rep called a while later and said it would cost $600 to repair because of 'site damage'. I said there was NO site damage - and I cited all the info above. I asked if they would escalate.
In May of 2022, they called to say a manager was going to come out and review the floors. I asked them to proceed but they never came out and I got preoccupied with my son's graduation, college prep, and my leukemia treatment and didn't call them back for another several months to check on things.
I have been arguing with them since. They WILL NOT send someone out to review the floors unless I pay upfront even though I have the active full warranty. The last thing I heard from them was that I could hire a house inspector to look at the floor and IF they said the floor issues were their fault then they would send someone out to review. It's been a total nightmare and now my floor is pulling up everywhere. Numerous people have said the floor was not properly handled by them prior to installation, causing the issue. We have throw rugs all over so that no one cuts their feet. It is causing us all significant stress and frustration to have spent all this money with a company that is supposedly reputable only to find out they are a FRAUD!

DO NOT BUY! This site is a SCAM!
I ordered flowers for my mother-in-law for Mother's Day. The delivery date was promised between May 7-9 - on or before Mother's Day. I received 2 calls on Friday the 7th about the order, first requesting a phone number to contact me (they were calling me at my contact phone number) and then for my email address - which they had already sent an email to with the order confirmation. I made sure to verify that the flowers would arrive on or before Mother's Day, asked to speak with a supervisor to verify, and was told supervisors only work via email and that the flowers would arrive on Mother's Day my mother in law was sobbing on the phone because her flowers did not arrive.
Today I received a call from support to ‘verify the delivery address. When I again asked to speak with a supervisor because the flowers were not delivered for Mother's Day I was hung up on. I received a callback moments later only to be hung up on again.
I tried to call for support but was hung up on with every option I selected. Finally, I selected the option to place a new order and got to a human…who said they could not help me and transferred me to support.
I waited 48 mins to speak with a supervisor and was again hung up on. Finally, after several calls, I spoke with a supervisor called Sebastian@ ext 2343 who told me there was nothing they could do aside from offering a $20 credit on future purchases.
SCAM SCAM SCAM SCAM!
