“We recently completed our bathroom renovation in a 1946 building in Jackson Heights. It was a full-scale renovation - we took it right down to the studs. The centerpiece is a deep soaking tub with a marble tub surround and deck that I designed. For marble fabrication, I turned to Empire. Empire had a remnant of just the kind of statuary marble I was looking for at just the size I needed. There was even some leftover that they cut into pieces for my shower niche, thresholds, and window sill. And because it was a remnant from a kitchen they had already finished, they quoted me a really good price. Their installers were excellent. It took them about 4 hours and they were very patient and diligent. (The corner where the double apron meets the deck was a tricky bit that they had to hone on the spot.) Before going to Empire I had read the mixed reviews on yelp - and having worked with them, I think I understand the issues. I would use Empire again. For their great prices and great quality of fabrication and installation. But just be aware that Lucy, the owner, is prickly. She really should not be dealing hands-on with customer service. Anna in the front office is a sweetheart. But in the end, Lucy calls the shots, and she is tough. Two words of caution: Negotiate the exact division of your payment up front. Read the agreement carefully. The industry standard is 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 payments. That is, 1/3 up front. 1/3 after inspecting fabrication. 1/3 after installation. But Empire will try to get you for all but a few $ at the second stage, before installation. This happened to me and it felt like swinging in the wind to pay Lucy almost 100% before final installation. My experience turned out okay, but if I had it to do again, I would have made sure it was the standard 1/3 at each phase. The other thing that happened that I would caution about - nearing the end of the installation, one of the installers said he was running out to get something from his truck and asked my contractor for the keys so that he wouldn't have to buzz. My contractor handed them over without thinking. Did you know that if the fabricator has your keys and the job goes sour, Empire is legally still in your apartment and can rip the whole thing out? Yep. So, word to the wise about that. In the end, my renovation turned out great and I would use Empire again.”

“I cannot say enough about how wonderful this company is! From setting up the initial appointment, to scheduling the template, and the final installation; everything went perfectly. There are so many slabs of stone to choose from with a range of prices. When I gave my budget, they made sure to stay within that budget; not pushy at all. Everyone we dealt with was professional, knowledgable and friendly. This was definitely the most enjoyable part of our home renovation project. I highly recommend them!”
