Horrible experience. The subcontractors that empire used ended up taking 15 days which was 8 days longer than the sales people quoted. And then to add insult to injury more than $5k in family property and unreplaceable jewelry was stolen by those flooring individuals. Although we signed contract with Empire as the GC, we have had no help in retrieving the goods or getting some type of compensation from Empire for the theft. They have taken no responsibility. We jumped through hoops with police department and they did their investigation but could not come up with anything conclusive. So its been over 6 months since the flooring and thseft occured and Empire has doNe absolutely nothing. So to my fellow consumers never use Empire their lack of oversight as GC is horrible and shameful. Hope to hear something but not expecting anything, so terrible.
