Wow bro you have been doing these videos for years now and still in it. No fancy production, no expensive camera or lights, just raw and real
I’ve done a fair share of flooring in remods and watched some of your videos for fun and can say you are a true professional. I’ve actually learned a lot of great tips from you and really appreciate you taking the time to post these for anyone looking to improve their diy skills some. Thank you sir
I was wondering why you are covering up that hardwood floor with Vinyl flooring but other wise very informative.
Quick question…….why do you need expansion joints laying vinyl flooring ? Maybe just me being stupid but can’t see that flooring expanding lol
It won't. but the house will.
You're such an awesome dude handing out all this knowledge to us mere mortals free of charge! Just tackled my first vinyl plank project and 15 minutes in, I hit a door jamb on an angled wall and realized I was in way over my head. Your videos saved our lives! Thank you so much Joe! God bless and thanks a million!
Thank you for sharing!
We've yet to finish our top floor with vinyl, but you've given me the confidence to do so. Your videos have really answered all the tough questions involved. Thank you very much.
This is so timely! My husband and I are tackling the installation of vinyl plank flooring for the first time. Been studying your videos and the bathroom video was so needed! Great timing! (And hats off to you for sharing God's truth! You're really encapturing the scripture that says to do all for the glory of God! Love it! Keep pressing on, fellow child of God!)
Thank you!
Denatured alcohol is now illegal in California, and regular isopropyl alcohol doesn’t work well at all to remove Sharpie lines. My wife gave me a can of Aussie brand hairspray, and it removes the Sharpie lines perfectly. After spraying, let it set for a few seconds, then wipe with a cloth, or cotton ball(s). Amazing stuff, really. Then dampen a rag with a drop or two of dish soap (I used Dawn), to clean off the hairspray residue. The board looks at this point like it did when you pulled it from the box.
I don't know how much you charge to lay 24 cartons of Pergo but that is how much you're saving me. Just can't thank you enough for all the tips and tricks. I do recommend anybody following you and planning a project with this type flooring to go ahead and buy the pull bar/knock locking tool for $60+. You're going to need it. Some laminate goes together easier than others.
Great video! The thing that pains me is seeing that someone is covering over beautiful oak floors (hallway & living room) with vinyl, :(
Awesome! Man, you make putting in vinyl floor easier. I am going through replacing and correcting a vinyl floor install by a "professional" and your tips have been a saving grace. I wish I had come by your channel sooner. I would have saved a ton of cash, time, and energy. Thanks for sharing your skills.
I've never seen someone so efficient with flooring installation. You're the best I've seen. Thank you for the incredible tips and methods. I'll be trying vinyl plank installation soon... I hope mine comes out like yours do haha
Congratulations, you work very well, I'm a floor installer too, you work very, very well!
Thanks man!
You are a skilled craftsman and a good decent man !Thank You for your wonderful videos . Just put almost 1000 sq feet of vinyl plank down after watching your videos . Retired part time contractor I am ,and I like keeping up on the new materials that keep coming out . Where do you get your big rubber tapping block that resembles a float? The gentleman I was putting the floor down with kept using scrap pieces of flooring to tap with and I told him of your big rubber block ! His scrap pieces were breaking the grooves when he got carried away . Our floor came out great ,only small bathroom left to do tomorrow. It looks professionally done ,not bad for 2 65 year old retired guys doing a charity job !
Very nice and thanks for sharing!! Here is the tapping block - amzn.to/3v9J5B9
Great video. Thanks for all of the tips. You make it look so easy!
Take that alcohol and put it in a spray bottle, lay a bead of silicone caulk, spray it with the alcohol and caulk tool it. Try it onnce next time you use silicone, I think you’ll like it.
I like that tub calking method. I'm stealing that
NO filler! - NO selling! - NO entertainment! --- STRAIGHT forward to the hard work! -- GREAT one √√√
Thanks
I bought a spare toilet flange to keep on the truck for a template just for this kind of situation.
I was looking forward to this video. Thank you for the great tips, this is going to help so much.
So nice to see a hard-working man that believes in God and family thanks for the tips
Great information for alot of tricky cuts. You make it look easy with your expertise, Thank you !! Blessings 🙌
YW!
Heat gun works perfectly. Pro tip
Question If using a vinyl underlayment how do you calk your lines? Or maybe some tips on installing underlayment. I have a house to do in Bullhead City AZ raised deck on cinderblock foundation. They have 8 x 12 sheets of some kind of Masonite type substrate over plywood, modular house 30 years old. Going to use Life proof Home Depot. I'm a Journeymen tile setter , stone mason 35 years experience before that I did lots of glue down wood. Not to much experience with Vinyl and that's the only thing we can put down coming from the City engineers.
You can just stretch out a dry string line and have a screw on each end to tie off to.
What if I’ve never removed a toilet. Do you have a video for that? I’m about to finished with the hall and going into the bathroom next
No, but my buddy Roger does - ruclips.net/video/uogNqzhpZ2I/видео.html
He talks like seth rogen lol
Or does he talk like me?
If your working with a concrete foundation wouldn’t you use a moisture barrier padding then plank it? I’m not a floor guy by trade but I know a thing or two, but can still always learn a thing or two as well so the feed back is appreciated thanks as I’m currently doing living room kitchen a and hallway, and some point the bedroom because I’m not doing a transition until the bathroom and the back bedrooms but the front bed room will continue and all connect as one
Fantastic resource. Thank you.
Question: I laid my vinyl plank, installed my painted MDF baseboard and corked the top.
Would you recommend running a clear silicone cork line between the vinyl and base board?
That MDF even painted can be the weak link for moisture damage.
Thanks
I would not
Is there any danger that the sealant around the edges will interfere with the ability of the planking to expand/contract?
Is it necessary to remove the toilet when there's vinyl under the toilet. The toilet sitting on like sponge on sponge will the wax seal leak down the road with the movement.?
When putting the toilet back do you just use a thicker wax ring?
I'm gonna have to watch this a few times.
Amazing video Thankyou for sharing Sending Support
Just curious why you didn’t use a Wood screw to hold down your scrap piece and used glue instead
By does it look so easy for them to lock in mines always need extra pounding
I'm learning so much on how to install an lvp floor.....thanks for sharing your knowledge....you're greatly appreciated!!!
I bought waterproof laminate to use on the whole second floor including the bathroom. I didn't notice it said to use a backer rod and silicone around edges where complete waterproofing is needed IE the bathroom. Have you done this? The backer rod is 1/2" tube. I guess you cut a wide opening on the caulking tube to cover. Good thing I was planning on using 3/4 round trim on base and against the tub. I also thought about paInting some red-guard a foot or so in front and under tub (all new install) and up the wall a little. Thoughts? Im using Wedi board around tub walls and down the side a few inches. I'm also going to use PVC base trim in the bath only. Doing craftsman style trim so it's 1 x 6 square edge.
Sure, you can do these things.
My room is 16 x 8 breeze way i close in . But My floor i put 1/2 plywood floor and not butt close together. but got a little love spots. show how fill them up make it level
Watch this - ruclips.net/video/aH_vLiBJ6bg/видео.html
How do place the planks under the baseboard heater do u have a tutorial for that ?
Do you come up with the cheater board system on your own?
But my question is, doesn't the flange need to be on top on new flooring? This is the issue I've ran into with my current bathroom remodel and I'm going to try your idea with the cardboard to cut out the round area of the drain, not the flange. So that my flooring will seat under the closet flange ring to achieve this... That's just what I've been able to gather. Not saying I'm right and your wrong. I'm here to learn. Thanks for your videos
It does not need to be on top of the plank.
Quick question 2 months after your video. I had to demo my entire bathroom after Ida destroyed it in NJ. Went with vinyl, could I install it b4 installing shower, or shower 1st?
Great video. Our bathroom is my next project after the living room and bed room floors. I enjoyed the tips you provide. Thank you!

I’ve watched a ton of your videos and haven’t seen the finish around the toilet. Do you caulk around the toilet flange and LvP as well or do you trust the toilet flange and seal? I assume caulk but want to be sure as I am finishing my own remodel this week and have two bathrooms to lay LVP in. Thanks for your content. Couldn’t have nor would I have took on my own project without your guidance!
Do you lay the flooring across your floor joists or does it matter thanks
Excellent site. Great teaching. I love your sharing and displaying your faith. You are a lovely encouraging person.
Your video tips have helped me through some difficult installs thank you so much and keep sharing the knowledge I'm definitely soaking it up...
I wish I would have came across your channel when I did my first room. Finished my dining room and the part of my kitchen. I wish I had started my planks in the first room differently as in same direction as the dining room. I know it is preference. I started the opposite in dining room and used a T strip where the first room ended. The reason was I don't have money to purchase all the planks in one go. This way I can move all my furniture from the living room and store in the dining room while I prep the other floor. Installing that plank in that direction was WAY easier and went faster. I made faster progress cause now I know what the hell I'm doing. Another worry I had was my kitchen and dining room has bowed joist causing a dip in the subfloor. We were told it from the steel frame that the manufactured home sits on. With that I don't expect perfection. I'm just happy my dogs can no longer use the floor as their toilet, yes it sounds disgusting but now if they have an accident, clean up will be a breeze.
Your videos really helped my hone my DIYer skills.
I'm getting ready to install lvp in my entire downstairs. We have linoleum sheet in the kitchen. When do you know of you should pull up linoleum versus leaving it? There is an area of discolor by the sliding door that I'm worried could have water damage underneath? The rest of it looks fine. Is it worth pulling up the linoleum or just going over it?
Joe, you're amazing. Very genuinely human being and kind from the way you talked. God bless brother. And thanks very much for the tip.
The way you pronounce caulk is pretty dope.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your videos! Great content!! Cheater board is the tool!!!
Very good video on every level. Sound, lighting, good explanations. Very informative the way you drew and got the template for the vinyl tiles to fit exactly around the edges. Well done. Jise from Melbourne Australia.
So many amazing tips in such a great concise video. Also you have a great team helping you to produce your content. Really flows nicely with zero fluff! I’m a new subscriber and video liker! Plus I have 1,700 sq. ft. Of vinyl plank sitting in my garage waiting for me to learn how to install. Thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks my friend!
Love the chalk tip. Your very talented. Thank you!
Great video! I thought putting vinyl planks with padding over vinyl sheeting would make the floor too soft and flexible and maybe damage the locking joints. Straighten me out on this. Thanks
It can be a problem if the vinyl is a cushioned vinyl, this is a felt back vinyl.
Thanks for the help. 👍
Have you ever laid down floating laminate flooring over a marriage line in a older double wide mobile home? I have checked all over for help on this and have not found any. My home has "rounded top" bolts at the marriage line that stick up about one eighth to one quarter inch above the pressed board sub floor. Any suggestions on how to bridge the gap? Could I lay linoleum over it before doing the laminate? Hope someone can help. Thanks. Connie
Question: Should the flange be on top of or next to LVP? If I install around the flange they will be level with each other. Concerned about leaks.
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Ouch it was hard to see that beautiful hardwood floor being covered up.
Another great video. Thanks. I haven't started getting notifications and I have been subscribed for about 3 months.
After vinyl plank flooring done what you have to do for re-installation of toilet? I guess it must be something done because the gap between toilet and plunge after the flooring would be different comparing before. Need more wax?
What about stairs any recommendations?
I would love to send you a pic of my hallway, it has the front door, then 6 ways to access the rooms, be it under stair closet, front room, lounge, cloakroom, dining room, stairs, entrance. Front door is Not central in the hall… how would you start this with LVT?
I just watched a 3rd degree black belt in Vinyl Plank Kwon Do
Any problems with the toilet being installed on top of the floating floor? Is this the preferred way regardless if the subfloor is wood or cement? Great video!
Not at all
Thank you for all the great content! 👍
I will keep praying for blessings for you too. 🙏
I've got that same flooring how good is it?
Thank you for tip I plan to put vlny plank at home soon
Thanks, great tips
This simple procedure make some of us aware of our incompetence at getting it. Seems easy for you mr. guitar player, but some of us are in the dark with the whole art, as simple as you may try to make it.
Eres el mejor, no hay mejor video Para explicar con mucho detalle hacerca de este trabajo
These are great videos, even the caulking tips were helpful.
Can I ask you what vinyl plank flooring you used. I love the color
Joe there is a lot easier way to locate a toilet flange or a drain. Take three measurements let's say the front and both sides put one side of a pair of dividers in the center of where you want the hole move that leg until the other leg touches three measured marks. Swing a circle is perfect every time.
I have to do the same thing in and around a powder room bathroom vanity, baseboard heater, and toilet flange on concrete. This video will help me to learn how and where to measure for the custom cuts. Thank you.
great video and tips. You do good work. Sad to see vinyl going over hard wood but have to do what the customer wants.
How come you didn't use a underlayment?? Won't water and mostiure get under that ?
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this!!
Great videos as always. You are a genuinely caring human, doing what you can to help others with your hard win knowledge and experience. Thank you.
You're such a good DIY'er help. You make it simple for us folks doing little jobs. Thanks, Joe!
Excellent
Commenting to fill algorithm.
Joe I wanted to write and say thank you! I went with a mannington adura max lvp that you suggested and we couldn't be happier. It was my first flooring install and the floor went it with no issues after I studied a bunch of your videos. Utilizing the cheater board was a huge help and made the custom cuts simple. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing!
My wife: Are you close?
Me: 00:00
What is the name of the tool to cut the hole
Amazing, I am always in awe of the simple way you teach your craft, I am extremely grateful for you and your professional experience
You are awesome! Thanks for all the good tips and Good bless all of you
Great work👍🏻
Getting ready to try and install lux vinyl. Thank you for all the great videos !!
I see you always marking the vinyl with a marker. Doesn’t this leave marker marks on the flooring? Or are you using drymark markers or other special markers so it cleans up easier?
I have a question, should your vinyl flooring be level to the top of the toilet flange ?
It does not need to be.
Nice tips, Thank you! God Bless!
dude you are a beast wow thanks
Hi. nice work. Im doing my bathroom and should i set my shower pan first ? Or can i put it on top of the planks? Yes im using vinal water proof floor.
Set it first then plank.
Thank you so much
Joe I have a 500sq ft apartment is it better to use Vinyl plank flooring or laminate flooring in the kitchen and bathroom? I currently have a 1/4 sub floor with sheet vinyl that will be removed in the kitchen, bath & entry way so to keep new floor the same height. Thank You very much enjoy your video’s.
I would use a vinyl plank. It will be more sound deadening.
Our house was built in 1979 it has 1x5 wooden plank subfloor, but they laid 3/4 mdf over the top then built all the wall's on top of it. Can I lay vinyl plank on mdf with out any issue's? Our crawlspace is currently being encapsulated so moisture shouldn't be a problem ever again.
You can install over it. The problem with MDF is if it gets wet, it swells. that would be my biggest concern.
I've seen many photos of LVP bathroom installs @ tubs, people leaving 1/4" gap for expansion then adding in quarter round at tub to cover gap + caulk to seal. Is the quarter round not needed and we can just do a 1/8" gap and be good? Thanks!
Yes, an 1/8 inch gap is good to go and then caulk it.
God bless you, Joe. I pray that your family stays blessed. I'm about to put plank in my bathroom so this video was very helpful! Cheers from Canada.
Hey how is that Mohawk (Tybee island) from Lowe’s. I like the color and the product feels nice and durable, like how the locking lips seem to flex and bend before they break and it has like a 20mm urethane wear layer. Normally around $3 sf But see it on clearance for 1.30. Didn’t know if you had insight on that product.
Thank you! Great content btw 👍
Here is what I would do, bring a box home and lay it out and put the planks together and see for yourself if it is good. If not, bring it back!
Looks great!
Thank you for this channel ! It's a super help !
