Many thanks, I can do this. Tired of waiting for the husband to get to this. Time to do it myself.
Erin. You rock! So many times I’ve heard this. Thank you for sharing. Love the wives. You got this.
I’m divorced, so I AM the Husband!! 😆🤣
I hear you
Me to! I bought my tile months ago. After I get thru with getting the rest of the leaves up, this will be my next project. Tired of waiting also. I have been blowing and raking leaves 7 days straight. Toting leaves in a 30 gallon trash can to the burn pile.
@@bbikermama 🤣🤣🤣
I appreciate that you went right to the tutorial and not wasting 30 minutes of my time with idol chit chat. Great video and I think I can fix my floor now. Thanks
thank you mina! thanks for commenting!
This video saved my ass big time. What turned from a simple bathroom remodel to finding out the sub floor under the toilet and surrounding the tub was TOTALLY rotted I was petrified to tackle it scared of doing it wrong and someone would fall through the floor while doing their business on the can, but this video seriously calmed me down and I realized it’s not rocket science. Since then there has been a few more instances where I had to repair some subfloor and I ALWAYS come back to this for a refresher. This guy is pure knowledge around the house and teaches it in a fun, super easy-to follow way.
So awesome Tanner glad it helped you my friend thank you so much for sharing and this comment is getting the heart
Sir you just changed my life. I just closed on my first home and while painting I found that the juliet doors in the master bedroom have been leaking and the floors were rotting. I'M BROKE NOW and finding I can do it on my own made me ugly cry. Thank you soooooo much!
youre awesome V..yes you can do it yourself....just need someone to show you..here i am!.. thanks so much for watching!, if i can help let me know...also on messsenger if needed!
I feel this comment 100% thank you for this video!!!! It's so hard buying a home and when things go wrong it turns your world and bank account upside down.
My advice also is to determine where the leak is coming from causing the rot and repair that as well..
Wow! Not only do you know how to fix a floor but you also know how to make a video! Super clear, direct, easy to follow instructions- I love it! Almost makes me feel I can do it myself! Thanks Home Mender!
thank you christina! thats why we do what we do! thanks so much for the comment!
Thank you for making me feel 1000% calmer about finding some rot at our new place. You’re absolutely awesome man ❤
I love this comment Jenna. You are a success story for me. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏🌷
Its so relieving to find DIY videos that are short and not full of pointless rambling. Thanks

I'm a flooring contractor been doing it for 16 years. Did one hell of a good job on that floor. They can be a pain in the butt!
thank you john henry! always nice to here from a fellow tradesman!
Thank you Mr. HomeMender for this awesome instructional video. There's a hole in my kitchen floor that needs to be repaired and I feel confident that I can make the repair AND lay a whole new floor! OMG if it wasn't for RUclips...sheez , I'd be broke paying people to do something that this woman can do herself! U ROCK!!!!
jay you are a super girl! you can do it! thanks for the comment!
Home Mender Inc how to repair a laminate floor
Heeeeeelp. We totally need to do some work. My husband and I are definitely not handy but for some reason he insists we can do this. Just watching you makes me nervous!
@@tekeshiamitchell6279 I love YT DIY videos, I repaired my auto shifter myself for $12.00 when the dealership wanted $400. I’m unable to get up& down from a floor due to arthritis, I KNOW I could do this, but since I cant & must hire a handyman at least I know he won’t be screwing me over, plus this shouldn’t be that expensive to repair, now to find an honest guy.
Quick tip apply construction adhesive along the original joist to eliminate future floor squeaks.
great tip promise.. absolutely! thanks for sharing!
Is there a preferred brand or type?
@@bbikermama Loctite PL400 is what I use.
Thanks for the video. Was replacing the flooring in the laundry area of my house. Previous owner did not go far enough out when they had a leak, so I found subfloor rot a little further down than original repair. Glad to know I had done it right. Some things in home repair are just as simple as they seem. It's like you've said, you just have to have the confidence.
Wish I had found this channel when I first bought my house. So many repairs that you have done, that I've had to do already. Your videos are way more straight forward than some of the other instructions I've gotten.
Awesome, Crystal. I’m so glad the video helped you. Confidence is always the issue. And it sounds like you’ve got it! Thank you for sharing
We're preparing to fix the subfloor under a refrigerator which leaked. Your video makes it seem possible for us. Thank you for the clear explanation and, like someone else said, for being straight to the point! :)
thanks so much for commenting!
Seriously. Solid advice without a lot of wasted time. I'm a fan.
thank you dave!
Same! Have to fix hole in bathroom too
Best video for this topic I’ve seen. No fucking around, no bullshit feelings, subtle humour and decent editing to remove shit. Well done sir.
thank you usurper! thats what Im talking about..! you didnt BS around on this comment! Well done to you sir..thanks for commenting!
I've watched so many videos and yours is my favorite. Clear, concise, and not over explained making it seem more difficult.
Hi Anna. Thanks so much for that comment. If people knew how easy it was we wouldn’t be able to make the money that we do :-) I’m so glad the video helped you. Thanks for sharing
Used this tutorial to redo bathroom subfloor, perfect results👷🏽♀️ thank you
Thank you A. Appreciate you sharing
Good tutorial. A few comments/recommendations.
If subfloor was glued and nailed could be problematic getting the subfloor to release. Also when cutting along the center line of the floor joist, be sure to remove all the nails holding the subfloor down otherwise you could trash your circular saw blade.
Usually the subfloor is nailed down with ring-shank nails which are a bitch to get out.
Here's an alternative method. Instead of attempting to cut the centerline of the floor joist, cut along the inside edge of it with a circular saw finishing with a recipro-saw then "sister" a 2 x 6 joist to the existing as shown on other walls. This also is a more forgiving cut if you're not on the centerline of the joist giving you an 1.5 inch to screw down the subfloor replacement etc.

hey kozmick! great suggestions!..Ive found unless you have a cats paw or some other sweet nail removal tool, its takes too much time and effort to remove the nails. i usually dont mind trashing the saw blade to get it right the first time. Thanks so much for commenting and watching!
I’ve been looking for WEEKS on a simple explanation on how to repair a subfloor! Thank you so much! I’ve watched this 6 times already! You just don’t know how happy I am right now
So cool Britney I hope you’ll come see me 1st next time :-) you got this
@@homemend thank you so much! I’ll definitely be back this channel has been more than a great help!
🙏❤️😎
I don't know why but I love videos like this. I don't have a house or plan on having one but I do want to try renovating a fixer for a fun project.
Cynthia! thank you so much for sharing this. It never hurts to know how to fix things. youre amazing! and thanks for commenting!

Home Mender could I possibly email you or call to ask you a question about my bathroom subfloor?
hey AD..yes! thehomemender@gmail feel free to send pics if needed..thanks!
Thanks for the video. Currently doing this in my bathroom. Every video i saw was so damn particular and I'm think "it's just wood, use enough to make it solid" and then i see your video.
Also, this video is 7 yrs old and you are still responding to ppl. Due to that alone im subscribing!
You are awesome KG. Anytime I can help you let me know. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for making it look easy .. I was dreading doing this this week on a renovation but I'm more confident after watching u work!
yes zach! you can do it! thanks for watching!
OHHH YOU are AWESOMMMMMMME!!! Wow. I have watched a 'ton' of videos trying to find someone knowledgeable that will both SHOW and tell as they do the work, you did just that. This is the ABSOLUTE BEST instructional video I've seen yet. Thank you and so appreciate you for this.
Ok. Now I’ve got to heart this comment. Thank you so much Melissa. Just doing what I do. So happy to help you out l. Much more in the home owner ecourse Thanks for commenting.

Now that’s an instruction video right here. Good job bud
thank you aimee! i appreciate the comment!
Thanks for this ! I can’t do the work, but at least now I feel that I can find someone that can & that it’s possible to properly support a small area like this , without paying out to have the whole floor fixed !
Thanks 🙏
I understand H. Thank you so much for sharing
Don't know why I feel like an expert now, when I haven't even used a power tool or done any DIY in my life.
you got this cool chick!
Thanks for the video. I have a rotten subfloor from flooding and needed a video for how to handle sections by the walls. Perfect!
thank you babbles! glad it helped you..thanks for commenting!
Thanks for sharing - definitely makes a scary situation for a homeowner look like a doable project.
thanks so much for commenting!
This is a Awesome video 4 years later but exactly what I needed... Thanks I'm making a similar repair. 💪
So awesome John. You’ll rock it. Thanks for Sharing!
Hey John, I just found his video now too! Only 2 months later than you! And I automatically subscribed! Justin is fantasmagoric!!! I have a toilet with a leak that's been forever! But because of watching him, I really have the confidence to tackle it! My husband refuses to do it and keeps on telling me to get a guy in to do it! I can't imagine how much that would cost!!!
Dangit man!! I hate how you make all your jobs look so easy lol much props
thanks ri! never underestimate great editing! appreciate the compliment.
Man this is gold! Have a leak in master bathroom in the same position like your video, the corner! I had the same idea of re supporting it with wood so this help give me a solid understanding visually. Thanks! No need to call GC for easy repair
That is awesome one click. Thanks for sharing.
thank u for up loading this video, you did a great job,
thank you tiano!
Love your short but very informative video!! Thank you for not wasting our time on a bunch of intros and what not!!
Yes mam. Thank you.
You make it look so simple I feel like I can do this! Thank you :)
awesome thank you!
Thanks for making this video. It gave me the courage to finally tackle the soft subfloor problem in our laundry room after procrastinating for at least 2 years. I couldn't get a professional to come out as we live in a rural area.
awesome darrell! so glad it helped you man....thanks for sharing!
Very good work buddy. Good job, if you were in my area I think I'd rather pay you to make sure I done it right hahaha.
awesome drums! thanks for the comment! you can do it!
LOL I was just thinking that too. I have soft floor in front of my sink.
Nice editing, no wasted time. Thanks for this instruction. You made it look easy. If i can get past this chore, then can finally enjoy making the cosmetic changes in the bathroom. Thanks! 👏🏆
Thank you two hearts! You got this. It’s easy when you know how, we are not scientists lol. Thank you so much for watching
Hey I just randomly stumbled upon your video, and wow you're great! I gotta tell my DIY friends about you :)
Youre awesome Syed! thank you so much!
I do tend to like his videos more than most. he tends to explain everything your doing and why you are doing it.
awesome john! thanks so much for watching!
Awesome videos! Great job! Thanks for the good information!
thanks for commenting!
You just saved me so much money man. I followed your video and was able to actually get a start on doing my own house. Thank you
Awesome comment my friend. Thank you so much
Great video. thanks for the help.... wear safety glasses
thank you Adam!
Yours was the best and most thorough teaching video I have watched. I am afraid my husband will wait until the toilet bowl falls through. I will do this. Thank you so much.😊
Thank you Doris. You are awesome. Confidence is everything and you’ve got it.
Dude you rock....
thanks for sharing!
Great video! Have this exact issue except in my kitchen I discovered while getting my floor ready to tile. Just bought a house and it's fun finding all the issues.
You got this Pitt state!
I had to do the same in my bathroom ,I need to remove the shower floor :( I am little OCD ,I started replace one part of the plywood in my laundry room and I ended replaced all the laundry floor :(
thanks so much for commenting!
I've been thru so many shady contractors why can't I find a dude like this that gets things done LOL great video
Maybe because ur cheap? No offense, just saying. If your "looking 4 a good price, on a budget, blah blah blah" I will avoid you most likely.
Hey bukk..... He said "shady". we know the type...I find most people don't mind paying for good work but they are skeptical of contractors right away because of our tarnished history..like lawyers..lol Working inside a customer's budget ( obviously you making the money youre happy with also) keeps them coming back every time they need something fixed...the long game is so much more important..thanks for sharing my friend!
Thank you Dustin, I believe you have shown me my contractor is not fully supporting floor being replaced. What a sad revelation :(... are you near Va..? Your. Hired!!
thanks so much for commenting!
OMG THANK YOU YOU JUST GAVE ME IDEAS TO REPAIR MY FLOORS THANK YOU IM NOT SABBY OF HOME REPAIRS SO I LOOK UP TO YOUR CHANNEL THANK YOU MAN
awesome GG..thanks for sharing!
No subfloor in my house. The tongue-and-groove oak rests on the joists. It makes me a little nervous, but it's lasted a hundred years this way.
You can't beat the empiric evidence that what you have is a good design.
thanks so much for commenting!
I have the same situation. We currently have some rot/termite damage on several joists in the crawl space. Pros will have to do the joist work because of access issues and settled foundation. Not looking forward to it!
That was perfect I think most people are afraid of power tools even some of my male friends are frightened by the loud noise never having used them. And they are also afraid of tearing something out and not understanding what they're looking at but my God it is such an easy trade in most situations repairs patches sometimes it feels like absolute Common Sense although common sense is not that Common Man good job I'm glad you made this video to show how people can easily repair rotted floorboard themselves. Very nice
Awesome input my friend thank you
Thank you!! I'm not paying some clown to do it for mY family anD I!
i love this!
I wouldn't pay a clown to do this either
I don't think I've seen a video of yours yet with a dislike. You've saved me a whole lot of money! I've used our videos for a ton of repairs and upgrades around the house.

Great work. At 2:45 you make an excellent observation and comment, "Now this board is sound" referring to the joist, but I thought I would add some emphasis to the need of checking that joist because you're a pro and made that determination quickly. When the subfloor is that rotten it is good to thoroughly check if the joist is sound. In my house, when I removed the subfloor I found that the leak that caused the subfloor to rot also rotted out the joist and it had to be reinforced by sistering (a whole process that maybe Dustin could do a video on). Just a thought.
awesome suggestion infra....sistering is definitely a sweet solution for a rotted joist...thanks so much for the video idea!
Thanks for this great video my grandmother is missing her floor in bathroom from huge hole about to get my handyman tools great video to the point!!!

hi susan! yes mam.. glad you learned something! we've got over 100 videos on here! that should keep you busy.. thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!
Well done video. To the point and not have to wait for every screw and cut from start to finish.
thanks for saying so greg! Let's get to it! thanks for sharing!
Nice video. Just one concern. Why did you not use treated lumber for the joist framing? In the south, termites love the untreated lumber. Its like a buffet for them. Anytime I am working on stuff that is near dirt, or foundations, I use treated lumber to avoid wood destroying insects. Cost a little more but nothing worse than having to redo it a couple years.
Hey Mike. Great question and yes that would seem like a good idea, however when you do it for a living there’s certain rules you need to follow, one of them is never using treated wood inside a home. When it burns it emits a poisonous gas so as a rule I just don’t do it
Nice job, always good to learn something new.
Thank you Kevin. Appreciate the comment sir
I just clicked over from a Pinterest post. Very good video! Very helpful. I've subscribed. Thanks!!!
