Empire Carpet. Can anyone give me an idea on what it will cost to install laminate flooring in a 24x16 room?

Question

Just looking for someone that may have used Empire Carpet.

Answer 1

Sq. ft. =388.
Waste allowance@10%=38 sq.ft.
Approximately 422 sq. ft.

This can be a bit more or less, depending on the amount of sq, ft. per box. This varies.
It isn't bad to have a few pieces left for repairs.

There are "promotional" products as low as $2.00 per sq. ft.
This may range $3-5 sq. ft.

At promotional prices, labor is often quoted at a premium. Regular labor may run from about $3.50 per sq. ft. up.

The unknown in your question is any necessary preparatory labor. Such as removing existing material, moving furniture, and any surfacing repair or leveling.

Also, doorway transitions from one surface to another is an extra charge.
Laminates require highly skilled labor.

In US, Prices will vary by competition, as well as labor cost from one area to another. Labor in the South is usually less than North East to Mid-West. And California.

This may not help much, but may give you a range. Only by shopping competitors can you know.

As I mentioned, product prices can be low with high labor, or vice versa. One fradulent practice is to quote low, and quote excessive material.

These are only my most recent memories.

I've heard of Empire, know nothing about them.

Answer 2

I had a very bad experience with Empire. They just installed our carpet and laminate, crews did a good job, but mix up on appointments, took two days instead of one, didn't bring enough carpet and laminate. Local customer service with Empire very bad. Did not get a commode set back correctly, leaked and ruined a ceiling under bathroom. Called Empire and reported several times, no one ever got back in touch with us. I do not recommend them at all.
