The Good

  • Low Price Guarantee
  • Free Estimates
  • Recycling Program

Low Price Guarantee

Empire Today says it will beat any competitive offer, guaranteed. If you place an order with Empire Today and find that within 30 days of placing that order another business can beat the product and installation price, then Empire Today will match that. This ensures that you get the lowest price possible. 

Free Estimates

Pricing per square foot isn’t always the easiest to calculate, especially if you have an oddly shaped room. Empire Today offers free estimates, which means they will come to your house or business and measure the room to give you a better estimate than what you could have come up with yourself. The best part is that it is completely free of charge and requires no commitments to purchasing their products.

Recycling Program

Empire Today tries to sell products that are better for the environment by being environmentally responsible. Empire Today participated in the Carpet America Recovery Effort (CARE) and also started a recycling program. Not only are the products at Empire Today quality, but they are also taking steps towards helping the environment.

The Bad

  • Limited Lifetime Warranties

Limited Lifetime Warranties 

Empire Today offers lifetime warranties on some of their flooring products, but not all. A lot of their products will jump down to 10- or 20-year warranties, which may not be what you are looking for. Before committing to Empire Today, check out the warranties section on their website and see what kind of warranties your favorite products have.

The Bottom Line

Empire Today is a great company to use for flooring. They have a variety of products that are backed up by warranties and environmentally responsible materials. Empire Today allows you to get quality flooring at a low price with their free estimates and low price guarantees. If the flooring you want has a warranty that works for you, then we recommend Empire Today for your flooring needs.

I was happy with everything except the company cancelling my installation 3 times, but once they finally got their crap worked, out I got my carpet installed and was happy with the installation and the installer.

Previous customer to Empire for carpeting as well as floor. The sales rep was helpful and friendly and I believe honest. The workers were friendly, polite, and very courteous in our home. Their work was excellent. Have recommended.

Chef Cat A 2 Z Living Well Solutions White Plains, NY

The representative that came out was very courteous although the lack of experience in measuring the space was not building confidence in our decision to purchase from them.
