"I highly recommend Imperial Wood Floors to anyone getting their wood floors refinished. My finished floors are beautiful and Imperial fully met my expectations. The sanding was truly low dust! They did everything that the said they would: reasonable pricing, showed up and completed the job in quoted time frame, and even took care of some extra task."
"I recently had Mike from the Loft completely update a 30 year old, outdated and ugly bathroom. It was a complete redo. The whole bathroom needed to be gutted. The planning of everything was a bit overwhelming with so many choices to make about flooring, faucets, fixtures, tiling, etc. Mike made it easy by offering a few terrific options for each item that needed replacing. Mike did a great job - everything was completed in a timely manner with expertise and precision. It hads been transformed into a beautiful, new bathroom. Mike cleaned up the remodel mess perfectly, too. We are delighted with our updated, clean and sparkling master bathroom!"
"I had a garage epoxy floor done and the workmanship was excellent. Great communication and customer service. Am hiring again to have a concrete porch epoxied. Highly recommend."
"Marvin's crew were able to show up ahead of schedule and complete the work faster than expected at a great price. The work is amazing and Allan, Cesar, and the other crew member running the gravel truck were all fantastic to work with!"
"We could not find a local flooring company that wanted to talk with us - either too busy for months or no reply to our message. Called Empire, talked with them the next day, flooring installed the next week at our convenience. Not sure how the price compares since we couldn't get a second quote locally. Installers were great to work with, worked fast, and did an excellent job."

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts
Sometimes, professional floor cleaning isn't enough to remove all the set-in grime and odors that have accumulated over the years. In other instances, your flooring might be nearing the end of its lifespan after more than a decade. If that's the case, it might be time to replace your flooring and start fresh.
The cost to install flooring ranges from $1,500 to $4,460 for a 500-square-foot room. The overall price you pay depends on the size of your room and the flooring type you choose.
Vacuum regularly, clean spills promptly, and schedule professional deep cleaning annually.
Many DIYers and pros start installing flooring in the middle of a room to ensure a balanced, symmetrical layout, especially when using tiles or planks. This process is particularly helpful in odd-shaped rooms because it allows you to create a centerline from which to work. Beginning in the center will enable you to work toward the edges so the final layout feels intentional and centered, even if the walls aren’t perfectly square.
To prep a floor for painting, start by sweeping and cleaning any loose debris that could puncture the protective material. Take out as much furniture as possible. Then lay plastic, canvas, rosin paper, or masonite sheets across the room, securing them at the edges with masking tape. Plan your painting so that you minimize the chances you’ll step in and track any splatters.
Yes, your kitchen flooring should extend under your dishwasher. It is essential for creating a level and stable surface for the appliance and preventing moisture from seeping into the subflooring, which is costly to repair. Working with a kitchen contractor will ensure the new flooring accounts for the height of the dishwasher so it sits under the countertop properly without any glaring gaps.
