Thanks for your videos. I've had great success with carpet in my basement for 15 years. It's remained dry and keeps the basement warm/cozy. I'm looking to upgrade now, and open to ideas. I'd like to stay away from tile (too cold). What recommendations do you have flooring that would offer the benefits of warmth/coziness other than carpet, if any? Thanks in advance.

Great video and information!

Forget the stairs, did y’all see how neat and clean that yard is! Good Lord!

Sorry pal do not mislead people telling them there is no floor prep with LVP because you are dead wrong.

Nobody can really tell you the best floor for your basement. It all depends what you want. Some people want it comfy and warm so go with carpet. If you want longevity go with a great LVP. But I would first seal the concrete every inch of it since basement are always damp. Also maybe install a sound proofing approved of course under the LVP so it’s not sitting right on the concrete even though you sealed it. But just remember other than tile or carpet whatever you install make sure you seal that concrete so no moisture will effect you’re LVP

Basement finished 45 years ago. 2x2s strapped to concrete with batts in-between. Recently opened some walls for remodeling. Zero mold. Not sure why you're so quick to spew BS statements. 🤡

What would you recoment if concret is insulated on outside

I'm helping my parents frame a room in the basement. We live in the Midwest Central Illinois area, what kind of vapor barrier should we do against the bare concrete walls?

How did you attach the handrail to the railing?

What is the perc test or sanitation requirement for a home that is on city sewer? Ex. No septic tank etc.

"100v is your basic outlet of lights" If you're in Japan, that is.

No peloton bikes!!

What's the diameter of this staircase?

What about lino? Heated loni floor?

Do you have to prove you are the homeowner with any documents or prove that the home owner have you permission to do the work on the property?

Does LVP…or SPC flooring allow the slab to breathe?

goood video!

i saw your video on line. what is your opinion on carpet tiles for a concrete basemenr floor.

That’s right!! Don’t do it yourself….call this guy. $1,000 in materials at Lowe’s for DIY, or $60,000 for his fee and get the same outcome. (Allegedly)

lol what a joke ? 😂😂😂😂

Thank you so much!

Spent 50k on 750 sq ft but added a bedroom, full bathroom and full kitchen.

I’ve had some flooding issues in my half basement. I’m working outside on my grading and drainage, but it could happen again. I just had to pull up my Pergo. There is water underneath. I’m concerned that if I put down LVP I’ll have water and mold happening underneath. Thoughts?

Great information Josh!

Looking at this for inside tiny home, just for visual help how wide are your treads? Looks great!

LOL You have no clue...........................

Why is foam board always the suggestion when mold can still grow on them?

My dad works for Pella!! 35 years and counting

how about cork flooring?

As a locksmith, gotta say not a fan of pella. No idea about their windows but their door lock mechanisms are a nightmare to work with. Had a customer today with a simple spring broken: the whole body is riveted together so she needs a $700 part to replace all of it instead of a $0.25 spring. Pretty dumb.

We are living in 6th floor, we want to make move kitchen to balcony, kitchen and balcony are in front of each other, and there is 8feet dinning space between them, its possible to make balcony as a kitchen.

I have 30 years experience in the home valuation business. Typically a standard finished basement will not add more than 3% - 5% to the value of a home in most markets. Walkout basements with more natural light can return more value. For example if you have a $300,000 house you will likely get $10k - $15k return when selling the home. If you spent $50k you lost money. I finished the basement myself. 650 sq. foot main room with a small bar area, pool table, and dartboard. Smaller 150 sq. foot room with complete home gym. Total cost of about $8,000. Don't hire a contractor to finish your basement - bad financial decision.

I've worked with them there the greatest thing I've ever seen

I see you also wasted your money on that worm drive Milwaukee saw, thing bogs down on a wet pt 2x6

1. 📐 Measure: Determine the total rise of the stairs. We picked 7-5/16 as we had a rise of 110 and this gave us 15 treads. (Remember you can pick your riser height) 2. ✏️ Draw: Mark the outline of the stringer on a piece of wood using stair gauges and a square. 3. 🔨 Tools: Gather a circular saw and a handsaw. 4. 🪚 Cut: Use the circular saw to start each cut, and finish with the handsaw or jigsaw 5. 🔄 Repeat: Cut additional stringers as needed. Make sure you use your original board to mark all the boards. (Create a sample board) 6. 🛠 Install: Secure the stringers in place on your stairwell. You can use a cleat at top and bottom to hold the stairs as well.

RE Septic. Are you saying that if I have a brand new, 4br house with 4br septic in MA and I decide to put in a bedroom in the basement and go the permitted DIY route, it is possible that BoH will REQUIRE the 5br capacity septic for the home or they will fail the septic due to undercapacity?

🤣🤣🤣 Yeah ok.

Jesus I almost had a stroke with that intro

1️⃣ **Measurement and Marking**: Measure the length for your shelving and mark the cutting line with a pencil. Double-check the measurements for accuracy. 2️⃣ **Secure the Shelf**: Secure the shelf on a stable surface to prevent movement while cutting. Use clamps if available to hold the shelf firmly. 3️⃣ **Use Painter's Tape for a Clean Cut**: Apply painter's tape along the cutting line to make the line more visible and to reduce splintering during cutting. 4️⃣ **Cutting with the Skill Saw**: Set your skill saw blade to the right depth and cut along the marked line, using the level as a guide. Keep your hands steady and maintain a consistent speed. 5️⃣ **Finishing Touches**: Remove the painter's tape and sand the edges if necessary for a smooth finish. Remember to prioritize safety by wearing protective gear and working in a well-ventilated area.

My lvp buckled and soaked water and got musty!

Hello, what are your thoughts about epoxy over concrete in the basement? Thanks

What about just painting? If yes, any recommendations on painting over concrete? black mastic? Maybe Ardex feather finish first?

Yah, the air gap method is still bad IMO, like you said, it will most likely still lead to mold. Foam board or closed cell spray foam only.

would you recommend some kind of subflooring's for LVP in an old basement to mitigate moisture issues? (durofoam with osb), drycore , etc)?

And the cost comparison for each?

Thnx Josh, this was an awesome video! very informative!!

Well made!

Hi, can this be installed through the deck instead of on the edge?

Does it matter if it is upper floor appartement and not a house?
