Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2015/10/13) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I am still waiting for a manager to call me. The woman that I spoke to Sunday during install said an upper manager would be calling me on Monday, 10/12. Never received a call, have not received anything in writing reflecting my discount, and when I called [redacted] where my financing is through, they don't show any discount, only the full charge.
This needs to be resolved and Empire Today needs to take responsibility and call me back. When I am quoted 2-4 hours for upper management to handle my complaint and it has now been three days, that is not resolving the issue.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 9, 2015/10/20) */
We have spoken with the customer and advised that the discount has been processed and will be applied to her financing account. We appreciate the customer's feedback and look forward to amicably resolving this matter.
Final Consumer Response /* (2000, 11, 2015/10/21) */
(The consumer indicated he/she ACCEPTED the response from the business.)
Glad this issue is resolved. I have not received my first bill, so I am going to assume they got this squared away. I will never do business with this company again, nor will I recommend their services. It is unfortunate that in this day an age, a business still does not understand that a simple I am sorry can go a long way.

We appreciate the customer contacting us regarding her concerns. On May 6, 2014, we met with the customer to inspect her concerns. We have reviewed the inspection results and advised the customer that we will power stretch the product,...

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
They came to stretch the carpet, manually as they did before, it was not power stretched as they said. Looks terrible I will not accept this. They need to fix the problem once and for all! I need the laminate guy and carpet guy there together. The carpet looks like it was installed by a non professional. It will start fraying eventually and I need it fixed asap! I am waiting for an estimate on the damaged walls which I will get tonight.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 21, 2014/06/24) */
The necessary repairs were completed on June 21, 2014. We appreciate the customer's feedback and hope to assist her with future home improvement projects.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I am still waiting for an estimate of the paint that they ruined. The carpet has not yet been replaced and I will not have an answer until I see how the installation comes out. However, this claim is still ungoing as I have not received the estimate from my painter. His invoice has to be submitted to empire for reimbursement. At that point I will advise as to the outcome.
--------------------------------------------------
6/4/14 info from consumer:
I have received a copy of the estimate for the damaged paint, however, no one knows where I should mail it! This is ridiculous! What a business!
--------------------------------------------------
6/5/14 info from consumer:
I sent Empire an estimate for the damages done to my walls (paint) which was $975, they offered me $525 with a signed release. Now why would I accept that if the estimate if $975? Ridiculous!

Thank you for contacting us regarding your concerns.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:
 
An inspector did arrive and deferred yet again to another individual.  This is a material problem with substandard flooring materials and substandard installation. I'd really like to see this issue resolved before the end of August.  Deliver new flooring material, allow it to actually acclamate and then correctly install it. Problem solved. 
Sincerely,
Gerri [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: Once they remove the laminate from my home, they are leaving me with a bare floor. I am rejecting this because if they have no intention of fixing the floor correctly, they need to leave my floors as they found them, with carpet. They are now offering to install the floors the way they were supposed to with warranty, but I now need to take another 2-3 more days off work for them to do anything. And they want me to sign a disclosure BEFORE they do any work saying how I will not seek action against them now or ever. This leaves me with no recourse in the event they do the same work they did this time. I have no problem with them coming and removing their flooring from my home, but they need to replace my floors with something. 
Sincerely,
Rosietta Gadson Jennings

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: I called Bill Allivato and left a message, sharing a change of thought- asked if my hardwood flooring could be stained to match the hardwood steps.
I have not received a response.
 
I also asked that the price be reduced, as the length of time of this experience has cost a great deal of inconvenience. I have not received a response to this either.
Sincerely,
[redacted] C.  [redacted]
