Empire Today Flooring Review
We purchased our floor through Empire Today. It is terrible quality! They have been terrible when I tried to deal with them. The floor has pealed away, this is not even in high traffic areas. It was sold to us as Life long flooring. It was installed 8 yrs ago. It is a real disappointment! They didn't have any manager to come out to see. They only send an installer who wasn't the person who sold it to us. He is of no help.
NWFA Training Experience
Got to spend a week out here for wood flooring training. I've been refinishing wood floors for 34 years, it was nice to get formal training. The staff here is awesome!
Inspection Report Issues
I hired an inspector (Cort Dunlap) listed on the NWFA website. The inspector took payment for the inspection and missed a number of promised dates to deliver the report. It has been over a month and I still don't have the inspection report. I contacted NWFA to file a complaint and was told I would need to pay them $50 to initiate the complaint. Membership dues should be used to pay for complaints and other administrative tasks.
It is clear the NWFA wants to protect its members rather than the customers placing trust in their certifications. I would recommend not using the NWFA as a reliable source for anything related to wood flooring. If you are in Washington State, do not do business with Cort Dunlap.
