I lost my dad when I was 17. Every once in a while, I find a “RUclips Dad” who makes me feel like I’m back in my childhood home, listening to my own dad as he’s teaching me to do home renovations. I’m 29 now and have fully renovated and sold my starter home myself. Friends and family call me for help with their renovations all the time. I’m looking forward to buying my “forever home” soon, and I’ll inevitably be leaning on my RUclips Dads for help when I do. Thanks for being a great RUclips dad, Jeff!
Lost mine at 18. I understand and feel for you bro. I'm 36 and still say I miss you dad and thankful for everything I learned from you. I didn't understand until he was gone why he was teaching me so many things. I may not of grasped it all. I enjoy being the neighborhood guy kids come to for bike repairs and neighbors call for help. Thanks to my dad!
Never had a dad. I have to google almost everything. Mom helps with pot roast and cornbread recipes though!
Nothing as important as a father.
Not everyone grew up with a positive father figure but I have mentors that give that Dad feeling. @@paulwilton735
Check out Essential Craftsman. He’s as great RUclips dad as well.
My procrastination led me here. Learned more than I should.

You’re the Bob Ross of DIY. Gentle voice and give the listener confidence they can do it!
Thanks so much for all of your videos! My husband and I quit our careers, moved across country, and built our own house. We have done EVERYTHING, except drilling the well, thanks to your videos! I can’t thank you enough for putting out this high quality content. You never hold back “secrets” or tips, which we greatly appreciate. If only you could see this gorgeous house that you helped build! 👏🏼🙌🏼 blessings to you and your family. Shalom.
Really?? That must be the best feeling you can get! Build your own house 😍🥳
May I ask how long it took to build it from start to finish?
@@iTammy 1hour we have several tents
Bless your heart. I would've been divorced 10000 time by now if I build a house! Renovation have done enough to me...
@@iTammy sorry, just saw your reply, but we started in fall of 2018 and we are almost finished with the inside, minus some trim and light fixtures, and we still have to put the siding and deck on the outside. We hope to finish this summer so, all in all, about 4 years 🙈☺️💜 we run/own a business so we only get to work on the house when we have free time, but I’m sure it could be done much faster. Thankfully, we have a home, debt free, in our early thirties; all the hard work was worth it.

You're the "Bob Ross" of home remodeling
Haha i was actually thinking this! How funny the first comment is what I was thinking while watching
You ever of a utility knife to clean any remaining thin set. It's very easy even if you wait 48hrs.also wait 72hrs. Before taking a shower it needs to cure.
Without the fro
Gives me more of a Red Green vibe, only he actually knows what he's doing. The "no pressure" comment was definitely Bob Ross-esque though. XD
LOL, I was about to say exactly that! :)
I am 72 yrs old and after watching your video I tiled the backsplash in my sons house in his kitchen. I am so pleased with the job I did. Love all you videos!
Literally nothing on YT compares to your content.. the information structure to your tutorials is absolutely perfect. I remodeled our guest house bathroom this year and the only reason I had the confidence to tackle that project was because of your videos. Thank you
Same here. Thanks Jeff!
Thanks Jeff. As a person that thought he couldn't do a 'big' DIY job like redoing his whole Kitchen tile from floor to ceiling, it was thanks to your mentorship that all I have left is to grout and now I have a modicum of bravery thanks to you. Im guessing I've saved 10-15k in labor doing it myself.
I really like Jeff. He’s a really good teacher... and he’s funny. That really helps when you have to watch a long video. He also doesn’t skip steps or forget to warn about potential pitfalls. The shower looks good. Great job Jeff!
@LeftyOmega What do you mean?

"Leave a mess so you'll find it later"
I like this tip. This also explains the behavior of many people around me
if your touch up is to perfect you will have a nasty grout line.
😁😁
I always kept a some of grout powder left over, just so I could do touch ups later, if needed.
I put the powder into a zip-seal gallon bag, and then put the bag, a mini desiccant pack and a sheet of paper with the color, the lot number, where it was used and the date on it, into a 'seal-a-meal' vacuum bag. Suck the air out and store it in the basement.
Sure enough, I had to replace a broken floor tile, ( I kept the extra tiles, too) years after I put it in, and I had the perfect grout right there. You can't see the repair.
Great "real world" use of your suggestions. Thank you for sharing them.
Watched this 2 years ago when I grouted our shower. Rewatching as a refresher grout our kitchen backsplash. Thanks Jeff!
When I watched this a year ago I didn't own a house. Now I do and I'm doing this for a regrout. It's unreal how much better this video is than anything else out there
This is an excellent tutorial. I do this from time to time as a member of a remodeling company. This guy is pro, with a great attention to detail.
Haha I’m in the same boat Cameron. I closed a year ago and remodeled the kitchen, watched this a year ago. Back here again to refresh my mind
A huge warning to my fellow DIYers- do NOT buy the pink label mapei quick dry grout! I was sold this by the salesman at Lowe’s instead of the blue label version like Jeff used in the video. The grout dried before I could get a chance to wipe it off. Needless to say I spent hours scrubbing and scraping. Thankfully I got it all off and the finished product came out beautifully. Just wanted to share my rookie mistake with ya’ll so you don’t run into the same issue I did.
best to have some experience before using a quick dry product. Cheers!
I had the same thing happen to me. 🤦♀️ I found that a wooden dowel helped speed up the process.
The worst thing is if you've tiled and grouted before with standard grout which I've done some twenty years ago
and you use this stuff without reading you're screwed! Should be sold with disclaimer! Almost go me!

@@ctsimaging what I almost got you? I’m about to do the same thing.
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! I was quoted 4,000 dollars just to do the tile work in my bathroom! These videos you have done have saved me so much money and the final product in my opinion is better then a pro would have done it! You sir are amazing.
Glad I could help!
Jeff just wanted to thank you and the team who make your videos. I completely gutted my bathroom to the studs and last night I grouted. It's been a long journey but your videos have been an immense help.
Seriously the best renovation DIY videos out... I could care less about meeting someone famous but if I ever ran into this guy in public I’d have to fan out! 🤩🤣
LOL< cheers!
Me too!
Me three!
I've been installing tile for 20 years. Non sanded grout can be challenging if you're not used to it.
It will crack, crumble, get air pockets, etc. Wringing your sponge almost dry is critical when cleaning to avoid efflorescence, specially with dark grout, and a good quality grout and sponge is a must. Don't rush it or you will have problems later. Always silicone corners and use a grout sealer after it cures to protect it against stains and soap scum. Good tutorial video for beginners.
cheers!
accieentaly wet the tiles and those have non dry tile grout. that's bad aint it?
also how long till grout dries
What do you mean wet the tile with non dry grout? Did you run water before the grout was dry?
My contractor used Mapei Flexcolor white grout, but didn't wipe any of it
off. The whole counter and back splash was done with expensive tile. I
asked him about it and he was defensive. Said that he had a product that
was easy to use and it would look great. I tried it and it does not look
great...gunked up in the corders and junctions, and I'm afraid to use to
hard a sander as it will scratch the time. I fired him, but need some
information about what to do...tried vinegar, ammonia, regular cleaners,
comet, etc. NOTHING touches this haze and build up. HELP!!!!!!!
Sherry Connolly it'll be hard to give you advice without seeing what he did. I've use muriatic acid diluted with water as a last option but I wouldn't recommend it if you don't know how to use it as you can damage the grout or tile, specially if it's natural stone.
When he says "you'll drive yourself crazy" pay attention. He's trying to help you avoid a 💩 ton of work. 😉🤣
You present so well and relaxing with all the knowledge to make sure I’m not intimidated to do it myself. Thanks so much !
Q
"Resist the temptation to think that cuz you saw me wash a wall, that you know how to grout..." Hahaha. The master makes it look easy!
You have the best DIY videos on RUclips. Love the presentation.
Thank you for your contribution.
supposed to be studying, but this dude got me hooked with putting tiles!
I can always count on Jeff to answer every damn question I have about working on my house. Thanks for doing what you do man!
No one should ever post a DIY video until they see how this guy does it. Fantastic videos!
I missed a teacher like this great man in my childhood.
Be sure your tombstone reads, "Here lies a man who learned to grout perfectly; life well lived."
Relax, no one cares about accomplishing perfect home repairs except stay at home moms with too much time on their hands and no purpose in life.
I'm licensed and do a lot of tile and I still enjoy watching you as even the expenses guys can learn something and remember some of the basics that must be done. Thank you for your videos.
As a tradesman in Ottawa, I just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos. No matter what I think I know, I always seem to learn something new. Keep up the great work !!
I can’t even begin to articulate just how many projects you saved my ass on. Thank you so much. Informative, to the point, fun to watch and professional.
This is the most helpful, stress-free version of doing this that I've seen. I feel MUCH better about attacking this last phase of my self-tiling shower nightmare. I'm actually looking forward to this now!
Lookin forward to it?...you need to get out more girl...lol
@@francisblair1345 why? What's wrong with enjoying your projects and getting stuff done?
@@francisblair1345 sad..
To those watching this video, as a tile installer, I would highly recommend using a different method, which is likely faster, cleaner, better. take the tip of your float, and scoop a small amount, then take that and apply it directly to the grout line, and push and slide it in, and go along the grout line using all the grout you put on the float, then when there is none left on the float, go to where you started and run the float along the grout line sideways to remove the remaining excess. by the time you sponge it, there will be barely anything to clean off.
Also, when mixing grout, dont add water and then the grout mix. Put about 3/4 of the bag in your bucket, and then scoop water in as you're mixing it to make sure you get the consistency you want. I typically go with a slightly less runny than this video. I do agree with him to not mix the entire bag. the biggest reason isn't for touch up, but its incase you made it too runny, you can add a bit to thicken it up.
As per grouting corners: specified by manufacturer. "Not for use in movement joints or changes of plane in the tile installation. In these areas, use an appropriate caulk or sealant".
I just got done removing all of the 13+ year old grout from my walk in shower. Tomorrow's grouting day. A Lowe's guy told me that he grouts inside the movement joints first, then applies caulk on top. That seems counterintuitive to me, but this is definitely not my field of expertise. I am assuming I should apply sanded caulk only in all inside corners of the shower/where the floor meets the walls? In a separate area, the tub surround, I removed all the caulk/grout underneath (which seemed to support Lowe's guy's technique). Now the distance between the tub and the surrounding tile is a bit wider than the average I see on RUclips videos. Do I still use sanded/unsanded caulk only in that area? Thank you.
@@sararose119 typically, a good grout (I use custom Prism grout) is good for corners. Then translucent white silicone on top of the grout in corners will hide any cracks that may appear if your house has movement. only use 100% silicone. the reason I do it this way, is if you dont grout in the corners, and use silicone only, then you are relying on the silicone to form a perfect bond and do all the water proofing at the surface level.
No I like Jeff's way lol
You deserve a humanitarian award for your excellent videos. You have saved me a lot of time and frustration, which has probably helped prevent my wife and kids from having to deal with me being grumpy. Thank you.
A lot of people will say tile installation is no big deal, anyone can do it. Well, that may be partially true, but anyone who wants it done right knows you can't take shortcuts. You certainly do make it look easy.
I only had to put on 5 tiles in my kitchen under my new exhaust hood, watch a 22 minute video and now I have some new skills for the rest of my life. Well worth it. :D
Hey Jeff @homerenovisiondiy, thank you so much for this video. I've never laid tile or grouted before and this presentation was so helpful. I followed your steps, tips and tricks and could not be more happy with the result and more proud of myself for doing it myself (with you in my ears and eyes!). My new outdoor bbq kitchen is the best part of our house.
These vids are actually quite handy, managed to tile my en suite without any major issues & about a week ago I don’t think I’d ever picked a tile up before.
Hell of a job. You can tell this gentleman is a pro by the way he moves his hands and the grout float around. No wasted movements, very efficient, didn't make a mess. Wall grouted in 10 minutes.
I've always used my finger to push the grout in... hours of my life I'll never get back!
I have 2 new bathrooms to tile and watching this video will save me hours of work! Many thanks!
Me too! I did loads when I was younger, all with a wet finger, now at 69 I'm learning how to do it properly!!
Jeff's been such a HUGE help for my bathroom remodel!! Makes me feel almost competent!!
This is my first time tiling and grouting and you have helped me DIY this shower I have installed in a friend’s home. Thank you! I feel like a pro now.
This video was hugely informative not leaving out any info on how or importantly why things are done the way they are, really helps me understand the process better to avoid any mistakes and resolve most of the issues that might arise. Also your pro tips are very useful, great video!
I just redid my whole kitchen from the studs and i did the whole thing watching your videos and this is the last video I need to finish it. Thank you so much! Your videos are great and full of details needed to make sure jobs are done right and look great !!!
Love how you give us all the minor details which can only be learned through experience, but give us the professional results
You’ve got the mind of an engineer
Thank you SO MUCH for this video, Jeff. Watched it last night and enjoyed your humor while prepping, then tonight I grouted after work. It has been about an hour after my careful second cleaning exactly how you showed, and there is almost zero haze!
Excellent video. Thank you especially for the tip about saving a bit of mixed grout in a polythene bag. Every time I grout I always notice half a dozen tiny holes that I assumed I was a bad grouter and would end up mixing more grout. Great tutorials. Thanks
Thanks for the Top tips!! I am 56 and have done 40 years of D.I.Y and I am always learning.I am now inspired for my next tile project👍🤩
I've worked in carpentry my whole life, Renovations galore, I've done a bunch of tile now too on my own houses... and even with being really good with my hands, I still over wash my grout. Thanks for the great video. Really well done.
Very well done just like a teacher pro. Love the humor. Thanks!
Jeff, I just finished my first tile and grout job on my kitchen backsplash and it came out better than I could have imagined! I followed these steps to a T and triple checked my measurements to make sure I used enough product. Thanks again for being thorough and easily understandable, you're knowledge is invaluable!
Wow, Jeff. As a DIY'er I've done probably 15 tile jobs, mostly floor but 3 or 4 tub/shower installations. I learned SO MUCH from your video.
This was really great - I'm starting a DIY tile project (my very first one!) tomorrow and I really appreciate you truly showing EVERY Step.
I've watched most of your videos on showers, hardiback, thin set, grouting, niches, and have built a beautiful shower. I want to thank you for the DIY videos you created.
I am a fan period. Of what? A cheerful disposition, smiles, little jokes, tips, tricks and all the rest. It makes a difference and is pleasant to listen to even without a specific project. Well done and THANK YOU.
You are the Bob Ross of how to videos. I can watch them over and over. After watching I feeling confident and calm. Thanks for the tutorial.
I used your tutorial to grout the walls around the bath just a few hours ago. Everything went smooth. Thank you very much for your help ! :D
Thank you so much Jeff.
I just finished waterproofing & tiling my shower. I used your Redgard method from your "4 different methods of waterproofing a shower" video (Amazing BTW). I'm just filing out the excess mortar that squeezed out between the tiles, then I'll apply the grout using your expert advise.
You give us DIY'ers a fighting chance with these videos. The world needs more folks like you!
Cheers, happy to help!
So glad I found your videos! After several no shows I got fed up waiting for a guy to tile the bottom of our shower, and decided to do it myself!
I’m pretty handy and love a good DIY project, so after watching your tiling videos I felt pretty confident!
Ended up with a beautiful tile floor, and a new skill 👍🏼
Thank you so much for your videos! We just tiled our bathroom, and your information about the thin set mortar, tile installation, grouting, and silicone application was so helpful!!! It was clear and concise!
You are a gift to RUclips diy'ers, thanks!
I grout for a living an u make make me feel so proud of myself
Why? You do it better?
Thanks so much for teaching me how to grout and sharing with us your protips. It sounds easy, but this is how the pro's do it. From the consistency of your grout to the timing, this video nailed the grouting process and how to teach the method to do it like the pro's.
I love your videos! Your no-nonsense attitude, your professional tips and tricks, tips on how to save yourself extra work and that you give multiple ways to go about things. Very educational.
Also love the way you pronounce ‘out’.
I’m from the Netherlands and I always find it funny to see those walls with wooden constructions. Here almost all houses are made with concrete and brick.
Keep making these awesome videos and I’ll keep watching them.
Thanks so much! Grouting a bathroom floor tomorrow and kitchen floor in a week, you gave me a lot of confidence!
Love love LOVE all your videos! I came to watch one, and have now watched a bunch! So incredibly helpful - I'm starting to feel like such a pro DIYer 🥰. Tomorrow, I tile over tile! Thanks a million and lots of love! ❤️
The only channel I look for to learn home renovations
Man I kept waiting for Goldie Hawn to pop one of those back tiles open and laugh hysterically 😂
Well I got it,
@@singlespeedcrossbikefunny thing…. Went to the box store the other day for backsplash products and saw these tiles!
Had a bath tub faucet start to leak. Daughter found it early while taking a shower. To replace it was above my level of skill so we hired a plumber to do it. He informed us that the wall had to be opened up and we should select to replace all the tile with whatever we wanted. I asked 3 of the top tile installers in my area to do the job but all ignored my request. The plumber stated he was skilled in tile as well since he was the ‘trouble shooter’ for 2 of the plumbing shops in town. Good enough we thought. Wrong!
The tile looks like hell. Raised in some spots. Grout left to dry on the tile. He said just wipe it off the next day and it will be fine.
Has been 9 years and it’s still there.
Now it’s time to remodel and guess what?
DIY project!!
Beware of the person who can fix the problem they created.
I am always stunned when people turn work down Like the tile installers in your area who would nord your request. Come heck or high water I find a way to help people. I have rarely ever had to turn work down. And when I do I try like heck to find somebody to fulfill the request.
Where were you 20 years ago when i did my first and only tile job (floor)... i waited 24 hours before removing the ciment between the tiles. I still remember it since !!! lol Great infos Jeff !
Ouch Dave, that sounds like a lot of work to get that job finished. cheers!
I did the same thing about 20 years ago on a bathroom floor. Many days of scraping and chiseling, I learned my lesson lol
ah, the hard way...a great teacher. Cheers!
Wow that’s a beautiful shower. I’m about to grout our kitchen subway tile. It’s funny I have been watching your videos and I found my husband watching one of your videos. I said- hey that’s the guy I always watch. He said- me too lol. Thank you for all you do!!
Great informative video Jeff. As a long time DIY'er I still only used the tip to fill in. My shower now awaits the re-grouting but you made me look more forward to the job at hand. Thank you!!!!!!
You have made me believe that I can do this. Thank you, if all goes well, I'll post a pic as another thank you. Great tutorial.
Obviously didn't go well
@@stephenduffy6837 lol
Did it go well?
🤔Dude, this is RUclips, you can’t post a pic.!!
Just about to grout my new bathroom. Thanks for the tips!
You're the best DIY teacher on RUclips. Thanks for the straightforward approach to doing this stuff.
Thank you for all your videos. They helped me tackle my "honey do list". I recently completed a glass mosaic backslash, and other than having to apply the grout twice, it turned out awesome. I think I cleaned the tile to soon, and mistakenly washed the grout out of the joints. The second coat of grout turned out flawless, and I had almost no haze the morning after. Our kitchen is now beautiful and my wife couldn't be happier.
I wish I had seen this when I started tiling my house. I watched many other tutorials on grouting before and during the job and nobody mentioned the darn air bubbles, I thought I was doing it wrong-even though I followed all the instructions and tips I could find. Now I see that I’ve been mixing the stuff too fast, incorporating way too much air in; also now I know to look for those air bubbles as I clean and not after it’s dry... usually after I already discarded the leftover mix! 😑 I still have half a hallway and a couple of bedrooms to tile, so all the tips will still serve me well. Thanks.
Thank you so much, helped me do my kitchen. I was so prepared because of this video and your other videos really helped me renovate my house!
Thanks so much! The part that helped me the most is the amount of grout you put on the wall! Doing the whole wall and then spread it around cut my time so much! I was taking soooooo long!!thanks!!
Really love your video’s. Straight to the point, clear instructions and great work! Thank you!!
Great video. Using a microfiber towel instead of a sponge for the second cleaning will leave the tile haze free. Light pressure with a circular motion.
Clean the thinset off the tile as you go! Saves a ton of time when you’re prepping for grout. I’ve learned the hard way.
I did that and ended up moving the tiles .. Never again. my tiles moved.. Just dont wait two days
Cheers!
That is why I love using ultralight. it has much better bonding power.
Home RenoVision DIY is the ultralight an unmodified mortar ?.... I’m asking since I always use the kerdi membrane ... so from what I understand I need to use unmodified cement ?
Tim I install the kerdi showerpans all the time and have always used modified mortar. No problems in the last 10 years and a hundred pans. Usually use Mapei ultraflex 2
I used all these tips on my very first time tiling, in particular the circular cleaning and one wipe/turn spongethen wipe again to really clean. My walls look great! 😊 Thank you from the UK.
You've helped so much with some of my DIY projects. I've grouted before but thought I'd check on the best way to do it before tackling my tub surround!
Wow, great explanation. Finished setting the wall tile today. Tomorrow I will try your grouting method. Thanks for your help!
Cheers send us a picture on instagram. !
I love all of your videos. You explain everything so well. I really appreciate your thoroughness and attention to detail!
Excellent tip. I grouted my shower this weekend using this grout and used your method for cleaning it. The next day there was virtually zero haze on my tile
I’ve been tiling for 20 years on and off and never been shown how to do it. I learned loads from this, most importantly is how wet you made your mix. Absolutely superb. Thank you
Bravo, absolute genius. This guy knows some good tricks.
By god Jeff I can’t thank you enough for all the good info. Finishing up a full bathroom remodel this week, couldn’t have done it without your knowledge. Cheers bud
Well done Cam. Happy to be of some help!
Thanks for reassuring me with this type of work, Jeff. It turned out perfect!
His sarcasm is refreshing. Great videos
Throughout the years I’ve done two home renos, first one complete from the ground up in my old house and another partial one in my new home, all by watching this dude. If everyone put as much effort and pride in their work like this dude and his team (I think his name is Jeff), the world would be a better place.
Great job. Cheers!
Buying my first home and I am really looking forward to doing some of these home renovations for the first time .... thanks for the videos
You'll be looking forward until you start lol good luck with your remodel
I thought the same way and renoed my entire house in 5 years. I lost a great deal of nights and weekends and was more tired on Monday for work than i was on Friday night.
Pace yourself and set some expectations.
I'd suggest even taking a year off between big projects.
This is a phenomenal video. You're efficient, funny, easy to understand, and actually mention the dangers. I can't believe I only heard of you guys today!
Thanks! I literally look for your videos specifically on all projects. With your guide here, this was still quite a bit of work, but honestly easier than i expected for a good look
I don’t see anyone mentioning gloves while grouting. Grout has small amounts of lye in it (you’ll remember from fight club).
Different techniques and philosophy from what I was taught but accomplishing the same thing. Good video!
As a rule of thumb, always use gloves on everything, cheap insurance and hate having cracked skin from all the house work. Rather burn a box of gloves than the skin on my hands :)
Excellent video, thank you! As a designer, however, I’m wondering why someone wanted to put those 2 patterns together! If they loved the Deco pattern, a plain white or gray ceramic tile would have been a better coordinate choice. When using natural stone patterns, keep it simple.
At the 13:52 mark of the video, he's washing / wiping down the tiles - removing excess grout when he pulls the orange bucket towards him. You can hear the bottom of the bucket grinding grout over / on the bathtub surface. That's a great way to SCRATCH the surface finish protective coat ! NEVER move / pull tools or buckets over unprotected surfaces !
Isn't that non sanded grout? But I do agree with your comment cause you are right.
@@JBpineapple even non-sanded grout will scratch a bathtub surface.
@@jefftaylor844 okay thats good to know
This makes us tile setters and grouters look like our jobs are easy haha. you made the non sanded grout way to wet one should be a putty thickness . two should of used sanded ground on this shower. 3 you don’t cut corners with your finger use a sharp putty knife. And one clean wash is plenty after it drys use a microfiber and pledge and it’ll clean it perfectly. You can always tell the pros and the weekend warriors
Great job Jeff, thanks so much for boosting the confidence of this absolute beginner.
Love the channel, thanks for all of the videos on how to tile! Watched them all which made my 1st tiling job exponentially easier.
Can you make a video on how to seal grout as well? I'm assuming that step occurs after applying silicone on the edges.
Keep up the great work! :-)
Thank you for your excellent training. I am tiling 700 square feet of floor space and just finished the bathroom. You videos on grouting were perfect for the Diyer. You’re light hearted, jolly, and concise. Happy New Year🎉
