I've watched no fewer than 20+ videos on vinyl flooring installation today. I learned literally everything I needed to know in this ONE video - thank you for the content!
I've watched this video over and over again and I finally got the courage and I am going to install a similar floor in my son's room! I keep saying to myself, '' FEAR IS A LIAR'' Amazing quote, Thank you so much for the detailed video.
I had to comment again because I was writing my first comment before the very end. Then you added that special touch of wanting to pray for us and our projects. I just want to say thanks.
Joe is a complete floor mechanic and a very good instructor. I did floors for 35 years Mostly vinyl sheet flooring. When laminate and lvt came out, I used all the procedures that Mr. Joe did. This man is the real deal. I did the self leveling powder trick too. I hated sticky.
I just did my whole house with this brand from Costco. My wife's uncle was so impressed with the quality that he did his house with the same Costco flooring
Excellent videos. In the 80’s we did the exact same thing with the “ cheater tile “ but the vinyl flooring was only 12” squares and a sticky back. I’ve never done vinyl planking and always wondered how you lock in both sides (width and length) of the plank at the same time. You sir taught an old dog a new trick. It’s refreshing to see someone that actually knows what they’re doing. For that I thank you.
I thank the Lord for your video, I am just now laying my first time laying these laminate floor and I’ve been asking God how to and I just views this video. Your measurements are very simple and easy. And what I love the most is that you glorify our Lord. May the Lord bless you greatly and supply your every need. Thank you this truly answered a prayer 🙏! God blessed
We're installing this exact same product from Costco throughout my upstairs and came across your video before we started. What a wonderful instruction video - well done! I appreciate your work.
Just bought my first home, 1st project is tearing out the carpet and putting in some vinyl flooring. This info is worth more than any of my tools. I want to thank you for sharing this knowledge free of charge. Thank you.
love the ‘heat the plank’ tip! saw another video where the guy said need to use a band saw to cut fine pieces. this is a life saver for anyone who doesn’t have those type of tools! God Bless!
Many thanks for the expert tips and tricks, now I've managed to complete the whole living room, my 2nd attempt, my 1st was full of errors but watching your guides has helped immensely, have a great day sir.
Have done vinyl plank myself and watching you has helped me emmensly with keeping the floor stable with scraps screwed to the floor, this is an amazing tip which makes a world of difference when the room is huge. God bless
Thank you so much, l bought the same planks from Costco and installed in my living room just watching this video... my friends can't believe l did it myself!!
THANK YOU so much. My laundry room--oy! SO many problems so I had to demo the whole room. I have done several types of flooring but not vinyl planking and this is incredibly fabulous. Even more than your aid in instructions for the flooring, I am incredibly grateful and touched by your blessing over those that would watch the video. I was feeling in my spirit that you might be a person of faith, and this confirms it. May your day be a blessed and amazing one.
Love watching you work! I’ve watched most of your videos multiple times, purchased all of your suggested tools, and installed about 625 sq. ft. two years ago. Now working on the other 625! I sent you a question through your website. Thank you for being an awesome teacher!
@@sothatshowyoudothat ahh, bummer. I gave you more kudos for me being able to do the first floor with all of your guidance and it was about laying a herringbone pattern between two bedrooms that are connected by a short hallway. Should I continue the pattern through the rooms or will it be difficult to lock the pieces with all of those door jambs?
I’m a visual learner and after watching this video, I’m 100% confident that I can do this. I just ordered a Pull Bar and Tapping Block on line at HD, the next step, is Just Do It. Thanks my DIY friend….. from Napa, California
Thanks for the prayers Joe. Greatly appreciated! I'm pushing back cancer while trying to get amy house renovation finished here in southwest Indiana. Blessings to you!
Thank you so much!! My DIY laminate floor has been on hold for months because I couldn’t figure out how to do the cut around the stairs. Your tips will be put to very good use.
Laminate installation is much different than vinyl. More difficult to cut. I have done both. Bought a ‘guilotine’ for the vinyl, very easy and faster cuts 👍
Thank you! Had a sticky floor problem and didn't know how to fix it. Your technique worked great! Now I just need to level all my concrete, which seems like it will be quite the job.
Man, wish I found this video last week before I made all the mistakes in the first room I did last weekend? Thank you so much! Heating the boards so they can be scored cleanly will be a time saver on the next room!
Thank you sir for your awesome instruction. For me when I use a sharpie-type pen, I use the pen as an eraser. I take the pen and draw right back over the same line with it. It reactivates the mark and then you can wipe it off aggressively with a cloth. Try it on a scrap piece. I was surprised how good it worked.
Thank you! About to start a project with this product. I feel super well prepared bc of your video. Thanks for the prayer as well and same for you and your family!!
I have lots of your videos saved in my library! Few months ago we redid our sons room. We’re moving on to all the other rooms in our house (3 more bedrooms, living room 1 & 2 + kitchen) we have a lot of work ahead & we wouldn’t be confident without your videos! Thank you so much for making these videos!! For the first time ever I hit the $ button to send some love!
Joe. Recently retired and started remodeling our house. I’m very much a beginner. Been watching a lot of utube videos and discovered your. Love, love, love your videos. Starting laminate flooring through the whole house. Thanks for all of the great tips! And most of all, thanks for your prayers. I’m a Christian and really appreciate you incorporating your faith. God Bless you and your family
Great job. The extra steps you take for setup look like they made it really easy and I'll be trying it when I put my next floor in. Also, they have tapping blocks that have a groove in it so that its not slamming up against the tongue and only the plank.
19 years ago I put Costco Harmonics through most of a 1600 square foot house. Replaced linoleum. Still in service. Just adding another room, from carpet, to Costco Mohawk, same model as you are installing in this video. New locking system, so there were a few prayers....
I like your videos Joe. Great content. Very useful info! I have incorporated your tips into my daily life as a flooring guy. For small cuts, I score it, place a pry bar or square underneath the score, then smack the tiny piece with my hammer. If it's too small, I'll use a mini channel locks to break it off.
I figured I could find a video on RUclips on how to put down this flooring, but I never thought I would find one this informative. I believe I can now do this myself. I commend you on a great video.
Man I could not get this flooring to click together easily and knew I was doing something wrong. Thanks for the tips. The other vinyl plank I installed was way less picky about locking together. You saved me a massive headache. I love screwing the pieces down too. The spacers are junk and driving me insane.
Ive fit dozens of laminate floors as a diy'er over the years and worked out the tips you show myself, but I still find watching you fascinating. Thanks.
Great video. I wish I had the same luck you did. I bought the Misty Harbor Mohawk VPF from Costco. It's a really good looking floor. But, installation was very hard. The starter row went fine. But I found out on the next row why it went so easy. It was because I could lift and snap the flooring joints together. When I went to lay the second row, the instructions said line up the long joint first and the use a block to tap the joints home. Well there was no tap about it. I had to beat the crap out of them to get them to join together. I looked and re-looked at the instructions to see what I was doing wrong. After about 3 rows I finally started spraying the joints with silicone spray to get them to slid together. I eventually won and the floor look great, but no easy task to be sure.
Joe, I appreciate that you a proud to share your faith with us. Your videos are truly a blessing on helping with my confidence as a DYi flooring rookie.
We just finished installing a living room and master bedroom, then I found this video! This would have saved me a lot of gray hair if I had seen it before!!
I wish I had seen this video two days ago! I just put vinyl plank in a small room and the planks separated due to falling shims so we had to redo them. Then the locking trick didn't dawn on me until halfway across the room. It still came out OK, and the moulding will hide all the sins.
THanks for that blessing! I am going to be doing my floor soon and with this locking flooring its all new to me. Done some tiling, and other repairs, but this is new territory. Your video had some ideas I will 'borrow'... so thank you. Might just sub...
Literally just finished laying my LVP floor today. I found some of my own tricks being as this was my first time, but these tips and tricks you showed will come in handy when I lay it for my grandparents in a few weeks.
Joe is absolutely correct. Gorilla glue works and is permanent. I took all Joe teaches and have many pleased customers. One customer watched and said Bob you only use a tape measure in the beginning and then it looks like you use a scrap piece to do all your marking. The scrap piece is Joe's trick and it is so much faster than pulling out a tape measure. Thank you Joe and always God Bless.
AEJ, its soooo much easier that you could imagine. I was quite intimidated as well when i tackled my first floor install. That was in the kitchen of my old home about 10 to 12 years ago. Since then i have installed approx 150 more of them on my own. I was a tech tard and RUclips was still a baby back then so i made soooo many little mistakes on my 1st two or three installs. That leads me to my best and only advice: The two best choices you can make are simple. 1) Purchase a quality flooring product. Dont skimp on quality because you see the price tag and get "sticker shock" and assume the cheap stuff will "do the trick". Not only do you get what you pay for but the higher quality options are often times easier to work with. 2) IF you hit a snag, get into a pinch, get frustrated and you're flat out ready to give up...DONT...Just hop on RUclips and this fella will likely have the video on the topic thats holding you up. AGAIN pal, its easier than it appears and you CAN do it! Best of luck and God bless ya brother :-)
Thanks for the video and technique. Really learned a lot. I'm trying to put down this Mohawk vinyl plank in a travel trailer that I'm building. As I see how you didn't use any underpads, I also heard others saying that you'd always want an underpad since the thin layer on the plank is not enough for sound dampening or as a vapor barrier. What are your thoughts about it?
Amen 🙏💜 I'm ADHD and I learn something Everytime I watch the video 🤣 so depending on how many lessons are in each video = how many times I have viewed it. I took notes the first time I watched, about a year ago just found them. I'm now using the back to keep notes while I measure hahaaa.... I'm guessing that is a majority of the viewers!!! Excellent job and kudo's to you and yours Thanks so much for the lessons and prayers! God keep blessing 🙏❤️
I was a Harwood floor installer, sanding and refinishing, there its a real Harwood floor on that house.. for me putting that fake flooring its painful, it's like putting a trash floor on a real Harwood floor..
Homeowner here, we have a full house with kids 2 big dogs and 3 cats and the floor was an absolute mess. We dont really have the ability to clear out our house for a week to get it refinished. This took about 4 hours and looks so much better than before and will protect the floor underneath. If the next family who buys the home wants to deal with the real wood floor all they have to do is remove the planks, easy peasy.
Sorry about that , I don't wanna hurt your feeling o criticized the job o your decisions about what kind of floor are u installing, I respect every matter of this, I was talking about my feelings.. and u are right with the dogs.. hi both of u..
Well done, thank you for the closing prayer, bold, but ….thank you for not being ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of salvation to all who believe!
just bought some mohawk plank today from Costco and remembered I had saved your video to watch. Ive installed plank before but learned some great tips here. Subscribed! Thanks and God Bless.
I've done a decent amount of this flooring before based on your guidance. Still found this video interesting, educational, and well done. Looking forward to my next time. Thanks for sharing!
It's the best vinyl installing that I've been seeing on RUclips. Thanks and great job. Please keep shairing your experience because I certainly enjoy it.
Dude, i just bought a house, and am installing this type of floor everywhere... this video taught me more than any other. THANK YOU! ....as a flat rate mechanic by trade, im always looking for those quick tips
I’m a little OCD and just keep rewatching your videos. I’m about at 95% on the confidence meter and am ready to attack my living room! Thanks bud! Great videos!
This guy is a beast and undoubtedly more knowledgeable than most flooring installers I’ve ever hired. Gotta be careful with the vinyl and black mastic though, they could both be potentially asbestos containing. I’d say leave it in place and mix some prep so it isn’t disturbed.
I've watched no fewer than 20+ videos on vinyl flooring installation today. I learned literally everything I needed to know in this ONE video - thank you for the content!
This guy is a stone cold flooring master! Just did my floors and would not have been able to make some tricky cuts with out his help. Fan for life
Thank you my friend!!

We can tell that u have been doing this for years. Ur method for installing floating floors is the BEST I've seen so far.

Excellent tutorial flooring installation video! Thanks for sharing. No cheesy background music or too much gabbing.
I learned from this video. Concise and packed with must-know tips. Great job. Keep up the great work.
I’ve Installed lots of flooring never out this much thought into laying it. Never had a problem.
We just finished installing a living room and master bedroom, then I found this video! This would have saved me a lot of gray hair if I had seen it before!!
Next time!
Thank you so much you a good man 👍
I have to admit that the best part of the video is the prayer for a great project but your information was great also
Best guide I’ve seen. Wish this was available a year ago!
Thank you!
This saved me a fortune. Being a car guy made this an easy transition and much easier than I could’ve ever expected.
I wish this would have been the 1st and only one we had seen before we ever laid down our floors
Getting ready to attempt this myself. Your instructions are clear and concise. Saved this to watch as I go. Thank you.
You can do it!
Yeah man he killed this video. I’ve been a contractor for 10 years. I’ve done tons of these. An he made me go “hmm that’s a good idea”
I wish I had seen this video two days ago! I just put vinyl plank in a small room and the planks separated due to falling shims so we had to redo them. Then the locking trick didn't dawn on me until halfway across the room. It still came out OK, and the moulding will hide all the sins.
One, if not the best vinyl flooring video. Love the brainy tips and not make it complexed with measurements but just common sense. Preciate it
No problem!
Love the cheater board scribe. I’ve been measuring each plank, thank you!
Just don’t cut anything off the cheater board on the edge. So you get that expansion good enough.
Love your honesty in providing everyone with your hard earned experience and skills. God bless you and your dearest ones. Peace for all
Thank you!
THanks for that blessing! I am going to be doing my floor soon and with this locking flooring its all new to me. Done some tiling, and other repairs, but this is new territory. Your video had some ideas I will 'borrow'... so thank you. Might just sub...

Glad you like them!

Great video keep up the good work good tips 😉👍
Thanks, will do!
Great video I'm in flooring and glad to see other people not just doing a shoddy job
I like that you used ardex feather finish. not alot of people keep that on hand.
I didn't see that? What Is it for?
I used it to sprinkle the floor to take away the stickiness. It is used for floor prep to fill dips and cracks.
Scooting the floor over half a plank to avoid thin straps is smart, thanks for the tip!
You bet!
Be careful when connecting the end joints. They can stay bent permeantly if angled too much.
Just did my foyer with it and it is easy once you get the hang of it..This stuff has changed the game when it comes to flooring no doubt..
Great video. Side note, I always cringe when people want to cover their hard wood floors. 😬 covering 5$ a square foot with 2.50$ a square foot.
Strange times we are living.
Real Wood Floors, have never been so embarrassed. 🙃😝🧐😡
Thank you so much for such informative and detailed videos, may God bless you for sharing all your knowledge I couldn’t have done it without you. 🙏🏼
I was a Harwood floor installer, sanding and refinishing, there its a real Harwood floor on that house.. for me putting that fake flooring its painful, it's like putting a trash floor on a real Harwood floor..
Well, hardwood is not for everyone and it was just covered and not damaged by the installation. I am just the installer, not the homeowner.
Homeowner here, we have a full house with kids 2 big dogs and 3 cats and the floor was an absolute mess. We dont really have the ability to clear out our house for a week to get it refinished. This took about 4 hours and looks so much better than before and will protect the floor underneath. If the next family who buys the home wants to deal with the real wood floor all they have to do is remove the planks, easy peasy.
Sorry about that , I don't wanna hurt your feeling o criticized the job o your decisions about what kind of floor are u installing, I respect every matter of this, I was talking about my feelings.. and u are right with the dogs.. hi both of u..

Well done, thank you for the closing prayer, bold, but ….thank you for not being ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of salvation to all who believe!
just bought some mohawk plank today from Costco and remembered I had saved your video to watch. Ive installed plank before but learned some great tips here. Subscribed! Thanks and God Bless.
You're welcome!
Could have gone full to full. Trim looks like it would have covered the gap
This was by far the best video on installing lvp flooring. Thanks for sharing your expertise and God bless!
Wow, thank you!
You are a great mentor, thank you so very much and especially thank you for the prayers at the end of your videos!!!
Thank you!
I've done a decent amount of this flooring before based on your guidance. Still found this video interesting, educational, and well done. Looking forward to my next time. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting this I appreciate it
Ohh that last part was a surprise and quite welcome too.

Dude, i just bought a house, and am installing this type of floor everywhere... this video taught me more than any other. THANK YOU! ....as a flat rate mechanic by trade, im always looking for those quick tips
Glad I could help!
I’m a little OCD and just keep rewatching your videos. I’m about at 95% on the confidence meter and am ready to attack my living room! Thanks bud! Great videos!
Thank you!
Thank you Joe! You made it look easy! God Bless you and your family as well. To many more videos!!
Thanks, you too!
This guy is a beast and undoubtedly more knowledgeable than most flooring installers I’ve ever hired. Gotta be careful with the vinyl and black mastic though, they could both be potentially asbestos containing. I’d say leave it in place and mix some prep so it isn’t disturbed.
I’ve done this flooring for years but still learned a few tips and tricks. Great hon brother, thanks for the info!
Thanks brother
Thank you Joe, this is the best video I ever seen about putting vinyl planks, thank you very much! All the best!
Wow, thanks!
