You are my hero. Thank you so much for doing this. I was debating to pay a contractor to install. I watched lots of videos, But had questions as I plan to do the entire house. Going to have to watch this several more times. But I am grateful to have the resource!!!
Really good information, you covered a lot of great points. I’m sharing this video with my boss, I only hope he watches the whole thing. He has a tendency to cut corners and fix mistakes after the fact. Even though I’m going to be laying the floor in his rental, I still have to convince him how it is done correctly. Thanks 🙏
Well,, I had difficulty going into closets and the baseboards where installed, with crazy slot cuts, etc, etc, As you said, and many others will also, But I cut a piece in half with a good blade on a miter saw. And used crazy glue between the perfect butt joint. It worked Amazing and the joint was invisible
It's nice to have someone that has some serious intellectual fortitude do construction work and think about things in a super logical manner. Your discussion on working backwards around the 23 minute mark is missed by just about every typical installer. Your intro "table of contents" for the video is spot on too. Nicely done on many levels.
Great help this video. But you can slide a board under the door. You have to cut out the doorframe with saw or multitool. Than sand of the locking a little bit and slide the board under the doorframe.
I have watched so many and this is the first one that answered most of my questions and it was really easy to follow! Especially with regard to going from room to room and no transitions 🙌
This whole video is gold, but this is by far the most important bit and the part everyone else doesn't explain well 19:58 - Prep: Determine where to start and finish installing the floor Thanks, Walt!
Walt, I’m a 38 year construction Vet that’s has layed many laminate floors and engineered floors. You did a fantastic job of explaining the process. I’m getting ready to install my own home and just wanted to thank you for solving my potential problems before they became a problem. Nice job!!
Thank you for this! Super informative and helpful - I’m about to lay vinyl plank flooring in my house - my mom and husband think I’m crazy for wanting to do it on my own, but I know I can do it, and this video really helped. Your info on direction of board, working backwards, and planning out where to start is so much more helpful than other videos I’ve watched! I know I’ll come back and watch this video several more times as I work through my project.
Super excellent video, thank you. What happens if you plan to do the whole house but not all at once, can you use temporary door transitions and remove them as you do other rooms? Can you glue the plank to the floor at door transitions in the same scenario? I have a hallway with seven transition door openings, one of them is the kitchen that was remodeled and the planks were installed with the vinyl planks we want for the whole house? Thanks again!
By far the most extensive video I've seen - thanks! One thing I missed and wonder about is "working backwards". I will have places where I'll go through a doorway and have to backtrack 3-4 feet in the other direction. The best I can figure is that I'd be laying out that section as carefully as I can so it's like a big sheet of flooring, and then to lift it up and snap it into the piece that's running through. Hard to explain, and would be nice to see via video:)
Also, I consider knee pads essential. You'd be crazy to do this without knee pads. Maybe if you were just doing a small room, but I'd still get knee pads.
Also, when I went to Home Depot, I went to the knee pad aisle, and they just had some crappy cheap ones that looked too small, but I didn't see any others, so I bought the crappy ones that looked too small. They said "one size fits all," so I figured that even though they looked too small, they would be fine. They weren't. They were too small and squeezing them on was like trying to squeeze into the swimsuit I wore when I was ten years old. They ripped about 1/3 through my project and I started using painters' tape to tape them together every time I used them. It was awful. Buy some nice ones.
The information provided in this video is very first grade, but the presentation is the worst I have ever seen. The video camera, in order to show what is being presented, kept moving from place to place, causing the viewer, by following along, having headache. And since the video is about 50 minutes long, so the viewer has to endure 50 minutes of “roller coaster” torture…
Initialy I did not like the video because the camera was just moving so fast but I stuck with it and I soon realize the its actually the best video on this site for Vinyl Plank Installation. THANKS
Hi, great video, but I have an issure in my closet....What do I do around the crawlspace door, and to the cover of it with the planks??? do I glues the planks to the crawlspace cover? How do I cut or nail or glue around the crawlspace opening??? Nobody has videos about this which is mind baffling!!!!!!
Hey, I'm a little confused on the issue. Why is the crawlspace door creating issues that other doors are not? Can you not treat it like any other door and just keep laying flooring up to it the same way you have been everywhere else?
@@waltsreviews90 no you cant. There's specifics to be done and then the trap door needs to fit nicely. My friend showed me how he f..ked up the first one he did then figured out how to do this correctly on the second one in his house.
Killer video brother!!! Excellent info for DIY'ers as well as us pros! Can never stress enough the word "RANDOM"! I've got 10 rooms, 1,800 sf to do, and a bad knee. Should be fun :)
thanks for sharing! i've learned many of these lessons myself during my first two rooms out of more to come. It's great to hear from other DIYers sharing learning experiences to reinforce your own to keep improving. Cheers and congrats on your flooring install!
Seriously, the BEST video I've seen on this topic. So glad I found it before we started. I appreciate how thorough you are and for all the extra info that so many other videos don't cover. Thank you!!!
Greetings from Netherlands. On this Easter weekend I've decided to lay down rigid pvc tiles myself. I have no experience and because of covid my help can't travel so I'm alone to do this and mostly trying to plan as much as possible. All questions you addressed I had and you answered them all in detail and so clearly. Your tips are so valuable. Sending you lots of good vibes!
YT is not always the treasure trove of Information you need. A lot of vagueness and bad Information. If your gonna instal vinyl plank/laminate in your home this IS the video! thank you
Hello great video very helpful, what is your opinion if you have great line of sight from the front door so you would want to put them going long ways of course, but the problem is when you get to the hallway they're not going to be going long ways.
Most of the time people start with stairs, but every situation is different. Wherever you end you're likely to have partial planks, so I'd factor that into your decision.
Seeing that the drywall is crumbling is probably why leaving the baseboards is advised and covering that gap with quarter round. Dang it. I didn’t want to add quarter round… hmmm…
Really useful video - thank you! How did you fix the issue at 43:20 where there was going to be a visible gap between the floor and baseboard? Did you have to redo the whole row? Or could you maneuver the row a little further back (closer to the wall)?
Well done! I'm planning the same project but my only concern is going from the main hall (remove carpet) into the bathroom (remove tile)... I'm not sure it'll be level from the hallway to the bathroom once the tiles are removed, did you have to do this as well?
Tons of great information here, and I'll be watching it a few times before I get started on my whole-house project. Thank you! One problem stands out: You mention installing like you read a book - top left to bottom right - but follow that with point selections that amount to top right to bottom left. Did I miss something there?
This is good stuff but I hate tapdown on thw short seams. Do not use those planks that you have to hammer down the seams. If you have to remove the planks to fix one later they DO NOT come apart easily or they break onenor both planks.
Hi, I have a hallway leads to two bedrooms and still confused rather start with the hallway first and move to the room or start with one room, hallway and then finish the other room. Please advise Thank u
Thinking about doing my first floor in the basement.... I have a lot of our furniture/fridge (that can't come out of the room) piled on one side of the room. Can I install half the room and then move the stuff onto the Vinyl Flooring, and then finish the flooring on the other side? Appreciate the help!!
Sure can! Just make sure to read the user manual. Sometimes newly installed flooring needs 24 hours + to settle before you start putting heavy items on it.
I have split level home top floor makes send to run horizontal but bottom floor makes sense to run vertical because its a long hallway to then get to rest of the house bottom floor. So is it ok for top of house to be horizontal and bottom floor vertical?
Thank you for the great video, this is immensely useful. One question though, if I am installing vinyl plank flooring on the second floor and the direction I choose (based on what makes most sense from your video) happens to be parallel to the floor joists, is that a problem ?
It could very well be. Besides from doing my own flooring, I don't have a lot of experience to be honest. From what I know, you can get away with running flooring parallel to floor joists, but you'll want to make sure that you have a think underlay. Might want to do a little more research though to be 100%.
Awesome Video!! I am a finish carpenter by trade and this Video was Amazing!! One thing that I haven't done is install Vinyl Plank Flooring yet and so I have watched a lot of videos. This by far was the Best One!! Thank You!! "Subscribed"
This was a great video and addressed the multi-room complexity the everyone else avoids. However, I was surprised by the multiple layers that became installed. So much discussion is given to making sure floors are level and clean. You had a moisture barrier, underlament pad secured with duck tape(!) and covered with padded vinyl planks. It seems that you would have areas of bumps from any gathering of material beneath-let alone the duck tape!
Dude you killed it. I am about to embark on this journey. Do you have any rough estimates on how long you think it took you/would take a newbie? Maybe hours/sqft?
My advice is to always plan for longer than you think it will take! Even with a fair bit of experience things tend to take longer because there are always unexpected issues that need to be resolved.
WOW! and WOW! This one is THE most informative video I have watched on install! That was absolutely AMAZING to have all the how-to's; don't do that! & oops fixes laid out so I know what to watch for before it becomes a fix it. I am thinking you have given us many many hours back! I am by no means OCD--but my house was a flip by cheapskate, "close enough" people so you providing the insight to be able to plan ahead saved me time, money, and kept me from pulling my hair out! Thank you!
Just got done doing 1,700 sqft. Had to do 75% backwards because of layout of the stairs in relation to the hallway and the way the stair bullnose attached the planks......what a pain. Oh, never used a tape measure once.
Thanks for this video. I'm also debating to hire somebody to do the work and this helped out a lot. Definitely prepping is key so I've got to look at this video a number of times.
I am about to begin my own flooring project for the entire house to replace carpet with LVP. As you note, other videos, while helpful, leave out a lot of details. You've just done what I was thinking I needed to do. Thanks a bunch. I'll try to share updates of my project and we'll be watching your meticulous guides as I work.
THIS is the video I've been looking for! Thank you sir! This is excellent information, well put together. Looking forward to watching anything else you put up. Subscribed, and thank you again!
Wow. Super helpful video to assist me prior to flooring my home. Very well spoken and put together. You're awesome brother. Thank you for this. God bless!
Great video! Thank you so much. In the part where you tried to put a whole piece in a door way horizontally... this can be achieved by bending the plank upward like a rainbow. Then you can get both ends in and push down the plank in the middle.
I have watched several videos and floor installation and this is by far the best one I've seen. Great job! Thank you so much for putting together an amazing "how to" video.
Good tips. Reminds me of me, down on my hands and knees measuring out how to get around some door jam. I like the idea of having two separate piles for the discards, I've always just thrown them all together, I'll use that. But my discards usually don't last too long, a use for them always pops up quick. ;)
Very good. Answered many of questions especially about transitions and going room to room layouts. I know I will be coming back to this for many references.
What a fantastic video! Well said and well done. I am preparing to take on this project and have done a lot of research but you have ideas and tips that I have not seen. Thank you for all your effort, knowledge, and your willingness to share.
Wow! What a comprehensive video! I am watching a lot of videos to install my floor but no one like this. It is so good. Must watch for any DIYer. Any tips when installing board backwards? Slightly cutting bottom of baseboard instead of taking off can be an option or any issue with that? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I think it would be much harder to cut all the baseboards than to just remove them. Do a test run with a couple boards installing backwards before you do the final piece to get the hand of it and your confidence up.
Great tutorial and well explained. I have a question since you did laydown two types of underlayment quietwalk and ECF cork over it. After having heavy furniture did that cause any damages to your vinyl flooring locks? Thanks again in advance
Thanks! No, I didn't have any issues with damage to my flooring locks. I'm not sure if there is a weight limit listed for flooring or sub-flooring, but it should be able to take quite a bit of weight.
You are my hero. Thank you so much for doing this. I was debating to pay a contractor to install. I watched lots of videos,
But had questions as I plan to do the entire house. Going to have to watch this several more times. But I am grateful to have the resource!!!
You are very welcome, glad I could help.
One of the best how-to videos I've seen. Very comprehensive with tons of helpful tips. Great job, Walt!
Really good information, you covered a lot of great points. I’m sharing this video with my boss, I only hope he watches the whole thing. He has a tendency to cut corners and fix mistakes after the fact. Even though I’m going to be laying the floor in his rental, I still have to convince him how it is done correctly. Thanks 🙏
No problem, hope this works for him!
Well,, I had difficulty going into closets and the baseboards where installed, with crazy slot cuts, etc, etc, As you said, and many others will also,

Great tip, thank you!
Great video, what software did you use to diagram out your rooms?
RoomScan LIDAR app
Amazing video. Subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
I have watched so many and this is the first one that answered most of my questions and it was really easy to follow! Especially with regard to going from room to room and no transitions 🙌
Glad that it was helpful!

Thank you, glad that I was able to help!
You Rock Dude, thanks for making this long ass video.....lol......\m/
Excellent video, Walt! I’ve watched dozens of these vinyl board install videos but no other video was nearly as helpful as yours. Thanks!
You're very welcome. I'm glad it was helpful for you!
This is the best vinyl plank installation video I've seen so far. Thank you so much man!!!
Thanks for the feedback, nice to know viewers appreciate all the time I put into the video.
I found it surprisingly difficult to find a video that explained the details of a whole house layout. I really appreciate this one. Nice work, thanks!
What program did you use to overlay the vinyl plank placement over your house blueprint?
RoomScan LIDAR
Thank you for this! Super informative and helpful - I’m about to lay vinyl plank flooring in my house - my mom and husband think I’m crazy for wanting to do it on my own, but I know I can do it, and this video really helped.

I know I’ll come back and watch this video several more times as I work through my project.
You got this; hope it all goes smooth!!
How did the floors turn out.
Super excellent video, thank you. What happens if you plan to do the whole house but not all at once, can you use temporary door transitions and remove them as you do other rooms? Can you glue the plank to the floor at door transitions in the same scenario?
I have a hallway with seven transition door openings, one of them is the kitchen that was remodeled and the planks were installed with the vinyl planks we want for the whole house?
Thanks again!
I don't see why you couldn't use temporary transitions, though I would not glue them down if you are planning on pulling them up.
By far the most extensive video I've seen - thanks! One thing I missed and wonder about is "working backwards". I will have places where I'll go through a doorway and have to backtrack 3-4 feet in the other direction.

Thanks for the compliment, happy to help!
This really goes to show how much is involved in doing a truly good job and how many people don’t do it.
Did you lay the cork because of imperfections in the subfloor ? Thanks !
Yeah, that's partially it. It's supposed to dampen the sound when you walk over it and it's water proof.
Great info in this video! Thanks so much. Feeling more confident in my upcoming install.
No problem, and good luck!
How much would you charge for a whole 1 level house, 1000sqft?
Lol

I've been watching flooring videos for weeks. This one is the most comprehensive and useful of all! Cheers
Thanks for the kind words!
You're ability to convey information clearly is amazing, especially on a subject you just taught yourself.
I appreciate that! I spent a while trying to put the video together, nice to hear that time is appreciated by viewers.
Thanks for the effort you put into making this video. 👏 I want to lay my entire house and now I have a better idea. Thanks.
You're welcome and good luck getting it all done!
Killer video brother!!! Excellent info for DIY'ers as well as us pros! Can never stress enough the word "RANDOM"!

Glad it was helpful!
The most useful video big thank you
Glad to help!
The knee pads are more important than many think. Even doing just one room like I did years ago, they were a blessing.
Seriously, the BEST video I've seen on this topic. So glad I found it before we started. I appreciate how thorough you are and for all the extra info that so many other videos don't cover. Thank you!!!
No problem, thanks for watching and the feedback!
Wow I made it thru the whole video. Very detailed. I am getting ready to do my house myself and save about $8k in labor.
Glad you are saving money. Good luck!

Fantastic, well thought out video presentation. You've covered everything dude...well done and thanks!

YT is not always the treasure trove of Information you need. A lot of vagueness and bad Information. If your gonna instal vinyl plank/laminate in your home this IS the video! thank you
Hello great video very helpful, what is your opinion if you have great line of sight from the front door so you would want to put them going long ways of course, but the problem is when you get to the hallway they're not going to be going long ways.
Do I start at the stairs or end with the stairs
Most of the time people start with stairs, but every situation is different. Wherever you end you're likely to have partial planks, so I'd factor that into your decision.
Seeing that the drywall is crumbling is probably why leaving the baseboards is advised and covering that gap with quarter round. Dang it. I didn’t want to add quarter round… hmmm…
Walt, you have done a superb job. You answered questions I had, and some I had no clue would cause me a problem later. Thanks!
Sure thing, happy to know it was helpful!

Awesome, good luck!

One problem stands out: You mention installing like you read a book - top left to bottom right - but follow that with point selections that amount to top right to bottom left. Did I miss something there?
Have you thought about why your drywall/framing is moving like that? Like why are those walls not sturdy??
This is good stuff but I hate tapdown on thw short seams. Do not use those planks that you have to hammer down the seams. If you have to remove the planks to fix one later they DO NOT come apart easily or they break onenor both planks.
This is an amazing video. Thank you! Any advice when you DO have to work backwards? Thanks!
Great informational video and very detailed. But, the video was so difficult to watch because of rapid movement.
Chalk line optional? It’s literally probably the most important tool for installing a floor...
Hi, I have a hallway leads to two bedrooms and still confused rather start with the hallway first and move to the room or start with one room, hallway and then finish the other room. Please advise

90% alcohol is best on Sharpie. Great video
Razor blades won't work on 7mm flooring and up
Just got done doing 1,700 sqft. Had to do 75% backwards because of layout of the stairs in relation to the hallway and the way the stair bullnose attached the planks......what a pain. Oh, never used a tape measure once.
Good work! Hope it looks good and you are enjoying it 😊
Thanks for this video. I'm also debating to hire somebody to do the work and this helped out a lot. Definitely prepping is key so I've got to look at this video a number of times.
I hear you. DIY projects always take a ton of time. Hard to know when the cutoff for hiring someone is
I plan on doing this on my own for the first time. I appreciate all the good information that you shared. Thank you.
You're welcome, best of luck!
Do you lift bro 💪?
💪💪💪 lol
The blue screws are tapcon screws. Used in concrete
I am about to begin my own flooring project for the entire house to replace carpet with LVP. As you note, other videos, while helpful, leave out a lot of details. You've just done what I was thinking I needed to do. Thanks a bunch. I'll try to share updates of my project and we'll be watching your meticulous guides as I work.

My man. A plus. 🤝
Thanks, hope it helped!
Very well done
Thank you! Cheers!
Wish I found your video before I started 😂
Great informative video!! Awesome job!!
Wow. Super helpful video to assist me prior to flooring my home. Very well spoken and put together. You're awesome brother. Thank you for this. God bless!
No problem, hope your flooring went well!
Hi Awesome video, Do you have a program that assist with moving the planks to visualize the area?
Yes would like to know also!
No, sorry
This is probably the best guide to this on RUclips
I appreciate that I spent *A LOT* of time on it glad it was helpful.
Great video! Thank you so much. In the part where you tried to put a whole piece in a door way horizontally... this can be achieved by bending the plank upward like a rainbow. Then you can get both ends in and push down the plank in the middle.
Thanks! Sounds like a good idea, I'm sure the board will eventually snap but I think they got some give to them.
I have watched several videos and floor installation and this is by far the best one I've seen. Great job! Thank you so much for putting together an amazing "how to" video.
Hope your project goes well!
Sounds like my husband looking for tools
Very, very helpful. Thank you very much for your time explaining all this.
You're welcome, god luck with the project!
Stop moving the camera around so much!!
Perfect video
Thank you!
Good tips. Reminds me of me, down on my hands and knees measuring out how to get around some door jam. I like the idea of having two separate piles for the discards, I've always just thrown them all together, I'll use that. But my discards usually don't last too long, a use for them always pops up quick. ;)
I love finding uses for scraps, no point in wasting 😊
Great video! lots of research. Extremely helpful in planning my layout and installation. Thank you!!
No problem!
What is that round door/panel thing you have in the floor?
Very good. Answered many of questions especially about transitions and going room to room layouts.
I know I will be coming back to this for many references.
Glad to help!
Well done, covering the details and tools! A lacking item from most youtubers. Keep it up!
Thanks, always good to know it was helpful. :)
What a fantastic video! Well said and well done. I am preparing to take on this project and have done a lot of research but you have ideas and tips that I have not seen. Thank you for all your effort, knowledge, and your willingness to share.
You're welcome, happy to know it helped you!
Wow! What a comprehensive video! I am watching a lot of videos to install my floor but no one like this. It is so good. Must watch for any DIYer. Any tips when installing board backwards? Slightly cutting bottom of baseboard instead of taking off can be an option or any issue with that? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I think it would be much harder to cut all the baseboards than to just remove them. Do a test run with a couple boards installing backwards before you do the final piece to get the hand of it and your confidence up.
Thank you 🙏 so much for take the time for this amazing education video !!!appreciate !!!!!
No problem Oscar, thank you for watching, I am glad it was helpful.
Great tutorial and well explained. I have a question since you did laydown two types of underlayment quietwalk and ECF cork over it. After having heavy furniture did that cause any damages to your vinyl flooring locks? Thanks again in advance
Thanks! No, I didn't have any issues with damage to my flooring locks. I'm not sure if there is a weight limit listed for flooring or sub-flooring, but it should be able to take quite a bit of weight.
@@waltsreviews90 thank you for your quick response 🙏
