Prior to building our home we heard of how it can be a nightmare. We can honestly say it was a very enjoyable experience and the only stresses we had were picking out all of the colors, carpet, fixtures, etc. Empire spent a lot of time helping us plan and giving us suggestions. We were kept informed on what was going on whenever I stopped over. We would recommend EMPIRE to anyone building a new home. The overall quality and craftsmanship of our home was excellent.
