Documented $8K to $16K to $5,500 onsite "special offer" sequence on PissedConsumer. Same Wells Fargo 28.99% APR financing structure. Lifetime install warranty with documented claim denials.
Same Empire playbook, smaller footprint
BBB complaints document 85% unresolved rate as of April 2026. NYC AG settlement on file. Heavy DFW direct-mail. Same in-home consultation + scope-add pattern.
Retailer + third-party install (Installation Made Easy)
Floor & Decor sells material, refers install out to a partner network (Installation Made Easy). Third-party inspection cost documented up to $600. Different game entirely. Frame as "buy floor at F&D, install with FloorFlash."
