I've been a carpenter for 13 years (commercial framer) and I have done a good number of LVP installs for weekend side money. I must say, I've learned a number of tips and tricks from you. Very clear instruction and you show and explain what you're doing extremely well.
I have watched so many install videos to get ready to install floors in my house (replacing the carpet). I got about halfway done this past weekend. Man I wish I would have watched this video before I started!
Laid first floor ever today. Turning 50, never that handy but still trying to become the man I always wanted to be. This channel will help me towards my goal. Thanks.
Hey Brother I've been installing for 30 years and your the first RUclips guy that is actually on point and is a real installer cheers brother all the best
I just finished a lifeproof floor, kitchen and living room, install using Joe’s instructions. It turned out great. He reviewed my floor plan and gave great advice. I can’t say thanks enough.
You’ve got a gift on teaching!! We ❤your prayers!!! God will bless you and praying for your struggles with smoking! May Gods favor be upon you and your family🙏
I've helped with hardwoods years ago, & just recently a little bit on my cousin's vinyl plank install, but I want to learn more since I'm going to Chicago next week to install my mom's vinyl plank flooring in her new home's basement. So, I've seen a couple of your videos now on vinyl/laminate plank flooring installs, & I definitely like them & the hacks. I'm all about tape measures & precision (to a fault, friends say), BUT I love your cheater board. It will make things flow much quicker, & allow for the proper expansion gap. I also appreciate your ending prayer. It was a very welcome surprise. Thank you, & God bless you & your family, Joe.
Great videos Joe...it's amazing I've been in the trades 20 years and am mostly self taught and I find it amazing that a lot of us come to the same conclusions and style of working...thx Joe and may the Almighty bless you and the work of your hands...I really enjoy your style of teaching
Oh my your a genius!! God Blessed you Sir, such awesome tricks, I'm in awe of your absolute FABULOUS ways of doing EVERYTHING and your SKILLS! Thank You SO much!! I can do it thanks to you!!! Absolutely Genius!! Talent beyond talent!
Hey Joe! I've been a carpenter for about 20 years now and i have installed two floors now in my house using home depot's life proof vinyl flooring. I just want to say i got lucky when i stumbled on your channel for reference on tips and tricks to install this stuff and you have helped me out tremendously!!! I love the cheater board and lay out tips! You make it look easy! I have one more floor to do in the basement and with your tips its been a great experience! Thank you for sharing your knowledge Joe!!!
Hey Joe! Thanks for making this video! You did a great job explaining this so that a simple dude like me could understand it. I spent many years in the electrical trades and I got to say it felt like I was the green guy first day on the job and you were my boss explaining to me how to do it!! I appreciate it as I’m gonna need all the help I can get with this floor at my house. I’ve been putting off this install for about 5 years now bc of anxiety lol! Take care brother… and by the way… thanks for the prayer. Some of us actually need it more than you know.
Great information on proper spacing and alignment. Thanks for sharing the use of scrap pieces instead of full planks for the marking process. Saves from making more scraps. Blessings be you too, Joe!
THIS IS THE BEST of all the DIY vinyl plank installation videos. Excellent intro to set the viewer's expectations. Concise narrative without unnecessary bloviating (as found in so many other videos). Not everybody got the "pop" reference, but I did :)
Thanks Joe great tips, just started my handyman business last year and doing my own floors first before doing for customers. Thanks for the blessing we all need that. I prayed to God to see what he wanted me to do ( when I was working somewhere else, that he knew my talents) that next day I got a text from a stranger “ I hear you’re a handyman can you do…” God gave me the answer so I started “My Brother’s handyman “ with Jesus as my boss. Thought I’d share that with you. Have a blessed day and I subscribed thanks Ed
We appreciate the prayer! Also I want to let you know that these videos you out are really great. You take the time to explain in detail when working on a project! God bless you too Joe!
You are a good teacher, thank you so much for your very detailed videos on how to install floors. I've watched a couple of your videos as I do a job that I got hire to do. Thank God I found your videos. You the best! God bless you.
Hey Joe! I just wanted to say thank you so much! My bathroom floor is long overdue for a new floor and your videos has help make me more confident in replacing it myself without hiring someone else to do it since I'm on a tight budget. You're truly a blessing!!
Well I think I’ve watched 10 of your video in just a day. Lol your videos are the best I’ve seen on the RUclips. My wife and I are going to attack 1300 square feet in two days from now after our basement flooded. Insurance Contractors told us 3 months before they could get here to repair so we decided to do ourselves. I will be studying your videos until then. Thanks for your time.
Love your sweatshirt. I was just doing my first floor and obtaining all the lessons I can get. We do apartments. I’m learning. Thank you for sharing your expertise good sir
Joe these vids are awesome tutorials. I am looking forward to a vinyl flooring install of 400 square feet partially because of your videos. And i am no professional. So thank you for taking the time to make these videos to share your knowledge with us. Many blessings to you and your family. -Young lady from Northern NJ
Hey Joe, this is the second video of yours I watch. I thank you for your help sharing knowledge. It’s better than to receive. Thanks and God bless you and your family and business. Greetings from El Paso, TX.
thank you for your videos on vinyl plank installations. My wife and I can't thank you enough. I just finished doing my entire beach house floor. I couldn't have done that without watching your videos. Praise the Lord for a Godly mans instruction video. God Bless you brother.
Thanx Mr. Joe for all your tips and instructional, my wife and I are in the figuring out the color and manufacturer that best suits our home decor. We are nervous about doing it ourselves but after getting a quote from lumber Liquidators it’s going to have to be us doing the floor. Thank you.
You got this Tim. If you need some help I can coach you through, check out my members site - Laminate University www.sothatshowyoudothat.com/laminate-university-registration/
@Timothy... I'm in the middle of Joe's University course on a big DYI project and I can't imagine doing it without his one on one help. Highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.
Joe, you are Awesome. I have learned so so much from you. I have been watching all your videos and i will do my first install of vinyl planks this weekend. I am confident that i will do a great job thanks to your clear explanations, great video showing exactly what you are doing and your easy to understand. Please do more of this, share your great knowledge with all of us and i hope for my sake and other viewers that sponsors will support you to do what you are doing. God Bless You.
Hi Joe, I'm here looking for a Refresher. It's been 14 years since my fiance (now Hubby) and I laid a floor. This time it is only tile, but the principals are the same. I love doing home improvements with my guy. I'm like the nurse who passes the skeletal to the doc and monitors the progress! LOL Thanks, those blessings me see the end result with confidence. God bless!
NO WAY!!! at one point did your knee pads have a piece that ran the length of your shin down to your ankle? I used to have a pair on knee pads that were identical to yours except they went down to my ankle and were the most supportive kneepads I have ever used but I haven't been able to find any other ones like them and my old ones had to be retires a few years back hahaha. Great video I've been doing strip,site finished hardwood flooring and recently expanded into doing stuff like this and with everything I know about installing plank flooring I still learned something from you!! Awesome content and I hope all is well!!
Wish I saw this few days ago 😪. You're super detail straight to the point. Awesome video. I install life proof onto of my old 50s house uneven floor. I installed pergo underneath and it help a lot. Do you have any tips for uneven floors to install these floors? I still have 2 more rooms to go for future projects. Thank you so much.
Wow awesome tips man iam startimg a new laminate job this week iam general contractor but laminate isn't my strong but with this tips iam hoing do great job thanks.
Really appreciated the prayer! I'm trying to single-handedly get a duplex renovated in 2 months so I can get my pregnant wife and 10 year old daughter moved in before baby comes!
I started 2 years ago and u and my dad are very similar with the techniques but i really liked this one makes its easier and helps me assure everything is straight✊🏽✊🏽👍🏽 goin to try it out this week🤙🏽
Wow just stumbled on your channel as I was looking for good info. Getting ready to help my son install a small space. I liked and subscribed. Also yes brother: in Jesus name w press on, serve and love one another!! Going to go search out more good stuff on your Chanel. Thanks Joe!
If you don't want to spend the money for those Tapcon screws, you can always drop a piece of plastic trimmer line in the hole, and use a drywall screw. It's amazing how tight they grip
Very good presentation and helpful hints. Do you do the thicker vinyl flooring the same way. I am helping a friend do there floors and never used the thick stuff. Thank you in advance. God bless you and your family.
I just discovered your channel, liked it and subscribed to it. Love the educational content and love the saying on your hooded shirt. My eyes kept going to it.
As far as quality, how is Armstrong Rigid vinyl plank? I'm removing tile in the bathroom and carpet in the master closet to lay plank down. Should I go with a underlayment? Maybe one that comes with a moisture barrier?
Well to be fair I have young children who make spills and 11 animals some seniors with weak bladders and urinate on the floor. Real wood isn’t possible with a family and pets, vinyl plank is water proof and more secure.
Love your videos, has helped tremendously while I lay these floors...not done yet, but hope to finish soon. It's a slow process since I stop and search your videos for the right procedure.
