A full service, exceptionally detailed remodeling company with over 120 years of experience. Dedicated world class craftsman working as an extension of our customers vision. We work with you to make sure the final product is what you set out to achieve. We are clean, reliable, and always show up and work a solid day, never placing other jobs ahead of yours as we only book one job at a time. Keeping this business small provides us greater attention to the customer, and allows us to achieve very high end work. Only take a $500 deposit is required to start work, and we are the only custom remodeling company who have done away with large deposits. Proving our work ethic, and showing up to get work done first before demanding large amounts of money is important to us, as is gaining your trust as a reasonable and ethical small business. Our angies list reviews speak for themselves, as does the overall "A" rating, with all jobs being done successfully, and to the customers ultimate satisfaction. Hiring us is a "no risk proposition" as well as an easy and pleasant experience, topped off with an amazing final product. We wont stop working until you are 100% satisfied. Ask about our 15% senior citizen discount.

"I recently hired Empire Remodeling to convert a closet into a laundry room. This job turned out to be a much more involved project than was originally thought. It was a job that most companies would probably have walked away from, but Al stuck with it, worked tirelessly and got it done. He went above and beyond and all of his crew members were very pleasant and hard working. They did a great job I will definitely be hiring him for future jobs in my home "

Additional e-mail - [email protected]. Award winning. The Mission of Better Built Basements, LLC is to have Connecticut homeowners select us as their remodeling contractor by providing innovative and affordable basement solutions. We strive to build trust and confidence with our customers with precise quotes, honest and consistent communication, professional appearance and demeanor, and accurate time lines for every project.

"Unfortunately I give BBB a 1 star rating. The project began October of 2021 with demolition, upon completion of each phase I sent an email to Better Built Basement management thanking them for their work effort and identifying items that either required further explanation and/or resolution. As the project went on, I became increasingly frustrated with their lack of communication, lack of accountability, lack of caring, and lack of skill. The straw that broke my back was when Jim (an owner) called me a f’ing c’sucker. Randy, (an owner) sent me the following email: No one has time to read your 3-page condensing e-mails. You have done nothing but complaint. It's obnoxious and draining to everyone you come in contact with. There isn't one person who cant wait to have you out of our lives. I terminated Better Built Basements on June 7th, 2022, here are some of the details of my experience: - The demo crew was excellent in and out in a day and did a great job cleaning up - The electricians were very consultative in their approach to the project, providing input on lighting and outlet placements. - Framing was mediocre. Despite using laser equipment, one wall was wavy and the ceiling grid has a large gap. Pictures attached. - New steel stud framing and pre-hung doors should be dead on straight as an arrow instead, two of the doors has an aesthetically noticeable skew. - The replacement to an existing door resulted in using the wrong hinge set for the existing mortices, inclusive of color – all the other hardware is brass they used chrome. Picture attached. - 3 of the four doors were either chipped or cracked. BBB was notified before the ‘final’ paint job, but they failed to address the issue. - I returned home the day they applied joint compound to find glops of joint compound on the floor, which I tracked around my house, and glops on wood work on a floor where no work was occurring. Pictures attached - Following the flooring installation, they left garbage in my basement for 2.5 weeks, then did not take it when they came back – in frustration I disposed of it myself. - Many of joints on the ¼ round trim molding were caulked excessively to cover up sloppy miters. - Cracked switchhplate was not replaced. Picture attached. - Sub-contractors have sub-contractors, who seem to be able to sub contract – direct employees of BBB other than the demo and electrical were rare. BBB demands using a lock box, Many people have the combination, providing little sense of security over access to the home. Overall, BBB does a bad job communicating, managing expectations and fails to deliver on their stated objectives at best they are contractors not craftsman."

At SFA you will find second-to-none service and high quality flooring options at a cost that will make you smile. It all started in 1992, when Wayne and Maxine Schneider purchased a Professional Carpet Systems franchise based in Atlanta. The business grew rapidly and soon began offering flooring products and services. Business continued to grow through a customer focused effort. In August 2002, America's Carpet Gallery merged with FA and became part of the most successful flooring co-op in America, CCA Global Partners. During this time the family owned business changed its name to Schneider's Flooring America. In November 2002, SFA purchased the former Frank's Nursery building on Route 83 in Vernon. Schneider's Flooring America is now a Fashion Showplace, carrying all types of Carpet, Hardwood, Laminate, Ceramic Tile and Vinyl flooring. SFA has a team of employees who are fully trained and the focus has been and will always be, to provide our customers with outstanding service and value. We look forward to many more years of growth while continuing to maintain a family-owned and operated identity.

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

With proper care, carpet tile can last 10 to 20 years. These tiles are used in office settings and are designed to handle heavy foot traffic. However, tiles can start to look a little less fresh over time in super busy homes with pets and kids. Keeping extra tiles on hand to swap out will ensure your carpet looks its best.

While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.

Carpet padding costs an average of $510 to purchase and install in a 225-square-foot room. The price can range from as low as $170 to as much as $850, depending on the brand, the thickness, and the labor cost. Although carpet padding will increase the overall cost of carpet installation, it also helps the carpet hold up longer, reduces noise in the room, and provides more insulation.

Carpet glue is very sticky, but it's not permanent. The glue usually lasts as long as a typical carpet installation, which is five to 15 years. For the best results, you should always use the right type of carpet glue for the area you're using it in. There are carpet glues for high-traffic areas, which are more high-quality and durable than others.

When it comes to flooring installers, licensing laws vary from state to state. Even if your state doesn’t require your flooring installer to have a license, your municipality or city might, so it’s a good idea to check with your town before getting started. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local general contractor guidelines. 

Hiring an unlicensed flooring installer could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations. 

As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:

  • The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check

  • Required to have applicable state and local licenses

  • Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review

  • Paying to advertise their services

  • Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi

Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
