Flooring Type: Commercial Carpet

Product/Color: Tenbrooke II/Evening Shade

Rooms: Call Center

We’ve worked with this company in the past for some smaller flooring projects in their office space, but this time they contacted us on short notice for a big expansion project—they were looking to install floors in a new area of the building and turn it into a new call center. One of our veteran flooring professionals was quick to answer the call and help them. During their free estimate, he showed them a few flooring options before guiding them to a great choice of Tenbrooke II commercial carpet in the color Evening Shade. This is a very durable carpet used in a lot of commercial projects, and here, it just made sense. The color matches perfectly with the blue paint on the railings of the stairs and the surrounding baseboards.

Our flooring professional took his job one step further by working with the install office to confirm that we could get the largest roll possible to help reduce seams in the large open space.

The install crew obviously works well together as they were able to install over 5,800 square feet of glue-down carpet in one and a half days without missing a beat on quality. Since the flooring was installed ahead of schedule, the cubicles that were to be installed the next week for the new call center were able to be pushed up to be delivered a week earlier. This project was a complete team effort, and the customer was thrilled with the end result. Hats off to everyone involved to knock this one out of the park.

For help with your next commercial flooring project, you can count on Empire® to get the job done right. Schedule your FREE In-Home Estimate now!

Upon entering the home, the installer noticed the unique herringbone design of the cedar siding on the exterior of the home and went above and beyond by incorporating the herringbone pattern into the stairs leading into the sunken living room. The homeowners were shocked and amazed at the look and attention to detail the installer was able to provide. Another amazing job, and another happy homeowner!

City/State: Cleveland, OH

Flooring Type: Wood Laminate

Product/Color: South Gate/Amber Walnut

Rooms: Kitchen, Dining Room, Hallway, Bathroom

This busy home needed a warm oak flooring look to bring several rooms together that was also a great value. So the homeowner chose the South Gate Amber laminate in the Amber Walnut color. The color meshed well with the green wall coatings and other natural wood accents in the home.

With embossed in register construction and 8 mm thickness, the moisture-resistant wood-look South Gate is manufactured in the U.S.A. and is free of harmful chemicals found in some imported products.

With this job, the install team also dealt with a height difference between the dining area and an adjacent room, which meant adding plywood before the installation. Even with the added prep work, the job was still completed in a day.
