Empire Carpet?

[Silent1CB]

Their commercials always make me curious. I'm one of those "you get what you pay for" type of people, or "its too good to be true".

Are their carpets the kind that landlords would throw into a rental knowing they will replace it in a few years when tenants move out? Another use is for people selling their house & just want something quick & cheap because new buyer might put in their own likes anyway?

When I buy carpet, I expect it to last. We have carpet that has 25 yr warranty. We've had it 13 yrs now and people can not believe that's how old it is. It hasn't faded, stained, or crushed. Although I see dirt on stair edges that I wish would come out. Its like I'm going to be tired of the color long before the carpet looks yucky. lol

So, how good is this Empire Carpet stuff?

Never used their carpet, but used them for Laminate Flooring in both my living room & recently a bedroom- Wonderful products, would highly recommend them- durable, beautiful finish- I've had the one in the living room for about 10 years now, looks as good as when I first put it. The laminate in just put in a bedroom recently (within the last few months) is so realistic it looks like hardwood- beautiful-

They do have better quality carpet, but the low prices are for the lower quality ones. I've not used them, but a friend of mine had an in-home estimate. If you schedule, be prepared for some pretty heavy sales pitches. My friend couldn't get them out of the house!
