"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."
"Fantastic work and communication from Mike and his team. It so hard to find contractors with great skills, who show up when they say they will, and create beautiful results. He's a pro tiler and so knowledgeable about all aspects of remodeling. I'd recommend him without hesitation."
"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 was next door working on a project for our neighbor and i went over to talk to him about doing something in our backyard.He was very polite and professional and i could just tell by talking to him that he was the one for our project. What i liked about him is that it is mostly a family run business.He helped with ideas on the layout which we ended up using and it turned out beautiful !The quality of work was exceptional and they cleaned up as they went.They were prompted and they really know there stuff as paving is all they do.Marvin is a great guy and i highly recommend him for any job you may be considering. He is busy so plan on booking him well ahead."
"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
There are a few carpet maintenance tips you’ll want to use to keep your carpet looking brand-new. Make sure you tackle stains immediately, and only use cleaners gentle enough for your carpet's specific fibers. You can even pop area rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpeting to change the look of your space and protect the carpet below.
As with timing, the cost to remove tile flooring varies depending on a number of factors, including size and type, adhesive type, condition of the tile and adhesive, and the method used to remove it. If you’re doing it yourself, you can expect the job to cost only the price of any tools, materials, or equipment that you don’t already have. If you’re hiring a professional, expect to pay between $2 and $7 per square foot for labor costs, along with added fees for materials.
Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.
To properly maintain and care for hardwood floors without damaging the finish, establish a regular cleaning routine. Sweep with a broom or microfiber dust mop daily, or vacuum weekly, to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface; be sure to clean in tight corners and under furniture. For a deeper clean, use a damp mop with a cleaner specifically designed for hardwood floors, but avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water, as this can damage the wood. You can further protect your floors by placing mats at entryways to catch dirt and moisture and putting felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches. For long-term care, refinish the floors as needed to keep them looking their best.
Carpet installation costs include carpet type (material, weave), room size, subfloor preparation, and labor costs. Getting multiple quotes provides a clearer picture of expected expenses.
