No carpet was installed. After not hearing from the Empire team, I went to Lowes and purchased higher quality carpet for the same price. Lowes installed it with no problems.

I agree, payment in full should not be made until AFTER a contractor's work is completed.......this is just poor business.

You didn't state whether or not they installed the carpet. If they didn't, then yes, you were ripped off. But you say the installers arrived on time on the chosen date. So that indicates they probably installed the carpet. Were you unhappy with the quality of the carpet or installation? Where's the rip off?
