Видео

We've been watching your vids so we can learn to lay LVP and replace the nasty carpet in our newer house. We laid bamboo in our other house, and may have gotten spoiled with the quality! The vid where you show the hallway to start as your guide, you mentioned how to make the outside edges at least a ½ plank instead of the small tiny pieces. Is that only with hallways? Now this video, the edge is smaller. I don't understand how small is too small? We finished room 1 with 4 more rooms to go. While my husband was at work yesterday, I set it up the room the way you showed how to do the hallways. That first 3 rows were so hard because the room had a bow and a closet in the middle. This video shows starting from left to right. I missed the part about using 10 planks. I'm assuming the 10 planks are key to everything in a room? I'll have to search your vids to understand how to use the 10 planks when laying LVP. If someone knows the name of the video explaining this, would you mind posting it here? Thank you. I'm dreading the next room tomorrow!!😢

Thank you so much for such an easy to learn how to easily do floors. Awesome vids! Wondering if you might be able to do a video on doing stairs covering the different stair noses please and TIA

Thank you so much Joe for being so generous with your knowledge! This "play by play" install video with you coaching a DIY'er is definitely one of my favorites, Great teaching skills! I ordered some samples using your link, Im a few weeks out from going for my first install.

So my house is in Alaska and I am interested in LVP, on an concrete slab, I also wonder about in floor heating radiant heating spots, like bath rooms, in front room, in front of couch and kitchen, How would this work? I have rolled vinyl currently, 15 years old. can it be laid over top? Sorry for so many questions, but big investment. Bless you for sharing your gifts!

I can look at the floor in the house I moved In 1 year ago and see the installer did not lock the ends together, then the sides. He clearly locked the sides then beat the whole plank down to lock in yhr end with its neighbor. About 10% of the planks are lifting just a little on the locking end of the planks. I know correct procedure now when I rip it up to redo it. The only time I ever installed, I did it the same way my installer did...wrong. Luckily it didn't lift the ends when I did it. Now I can do it right.

I pulled up my floor and noticed where the dishwasher was there is a lot of moisture. Can I use a moisture barrier just under the tucked away dishwasher area to protect the floor?

is it ok to overlap the 6mil visqueen

Any ideas for the gap in door trim and cased openings after removing hardwood and going to a thinner vinyl?

I see you didn't screw or glue the floor, and since you leave 1/4" gap will the floor move after time? what keep the floor in place?

I can’t even begin to add all of the ways that your videos have helped me through my LVP installation. From tools to techniques, everything was a lifesaver for me! Question for you as a DIY project, is there any value for me to caulk around the edges of my floor before I put down trim? Or only in the wet areas?

Great video. Learned a lot. However, my biggest problem/frustration is connecting the butt joints. I angle the board slightly and when I drop the board down it either doesn't go in or it bends or breaks the tongue. I try to tap it in and it breaks for sure. This happens 95% of the time. Any suggestions?

But how do you begin when flooring an entire house, with hallways, doorways, closets, rooms?

Joe I have old tile that I want to cover do I want a pad?

Do recommend using a pad in a second floor bathroom installation? Do you have a bathroom vinyl plank installation video?

The hallways I'm used to doing are 2 to 3 inches off on one end from the other 😅

Thank you so much for your videos. It helped me a lot to install my own floor. Especially the advice on what to do in the hard spaces where you could barely angle the plank. God bless you as well.

Great product

If you’re thinking about installing plank flooring this channel is the spot to come! I installed the LVP flooring in our 1675 square foot home after watching Mr Letendre’s videos. The wife and I love our new floors I was able to do it without using any transition pieces and we saved a ton of money by doing them ourselves! So do yourself a favor get the tools he suggests and like he says “install your first row last”

👍🏽🙏🏽❤️

Idk why I'm confused but I am

Excellent

Thanks for your content. I installed my floor 3 years ago now and your content helped greatly. My trim puller is still a great tool to have I cheated and used a High quality looselay Vinyl plank.

What brand and color is the flooring in this video? Thanks in advance. Very informative video sir!

I'm going to be putting vinyl in my living room. It's mostly a rectangle but it has wide step down entry into the room so it isn't an even width the whole way across. How would I go about planning the room for even plank width on the final boards?

You made me a better floor guy

I love you and I love your content. Praise the Lord. May God bless you!

Nice, screws to hold temporary. Love it. Thank you, brother.

Excellent video. Getting that first row set is very overwhelming for many of us diyer's, it takes a lot of second guessing and self confidence before I can get started on my projects, but once I get rolling it goes like clockwork. It just takes so long to get started because I'm constantly measuring and worried about getting it straight. This will be a game changer for me. Thanks and keep the tips coming!

This is so helpful thank you!! When you put the last piece in, it seems it’s going flush against the wall - is this not supposed to be your expansion area? From watching other videos, it seemed people left that space blank and applied the baseboard to cover it. I would really appreciate your insight!

Is it always necessary to remove a sheet vinyl floor before laying vinyl plank? My subfloor in 1/2" particle board over 3/4 plywood and it's only about 10 years old so it's in good condition. We're doing the entire house so it's a mix of sheet vinyl and carpet, carpet's worn out so I'm going to have to lay another layer of subfloor to make up the difference between the carpeted area and old vinyl.

I notice when you start with your 8 cut spacers they look about 1-1/2" to 2" which means when you finish and remove the screws, the real planks must be cut to that 1-1/2" width. I'm going to be using 7-1/2" wide planks. What's the reason you don't make those spacers more like 5" or 6"? Also, you said you always start with the tongue against the wall long ways and width ways. Do you cut the tongue off against the wall so when you push to the wall you can more easily get the pull bar between the plank and the wall? I hope that's clear enough for you to get what I'm asking. Thanks for the great videos. Maybe I won't cuss and throw things as much, cause I get real frustrated when I do something stupid.

I've watched like 20 shorts and a handful of longer videos and the vast majority of them were not worth watching either because of the quality of the video production and it they were morons. I'm happy to say your videos were full of good tips, many of the tips were in other videos but the like I said bad quality videos or the installer was annoying. Wish I would of watched you sooner cause I'm about to go to ChinaDepot to get some tools one of which I'm sure will be inferior to your plank hammer. Anyhow Blesskngs back to you brother. I hope you and yours are doing well and situated well to weather the coming storm. Sadly I say its gonna get worse before it gets worse. Not even sure about the rest of your content but I subscribed anyway 👍🏻

I watched a video of yours I’m subscribed learned a lot looking forward to watch your videos very informative thank you

Why no underlaymemt???

no underlayment? ?

👍👍👍. Thank you

What is the price

I've been planning to install VPF in a bathroom and adjacent dressing room with lots of cramped areas and turns, so need all the advice I can get. Thanks for all the nit-picky advice. I know success is in the details.

Been a while, BUT I will circle back with you Joe to share pictures and facts about the project, but it went well and a lot of that had to do with Joe and his mentoring solution.. If you have a big job and want to do it well then it is worth the money to include Joe.. If you are on a really tight budget Joe gives you the skills here to do a good job, But it is worth it to have him to ensure the outcome. Not like you can erase and start all over again. At least not cheaper than Joe's mentoring This is NOT A PAID AD. WE PAID FOR JOE'S VALUABLE SERVICE AND ARE HAPPY WE DID. i JUST HAPPENED TO SEE HIS RUclips VIDEO TODAY SO I THOUGHT I WOULD SAY HI,

Do you recommend quietwalk Lv underlayment on flooret base on a concrete slab or just vapor barrier?thank u

So clear and helpful

Love the video and the speed of them. Although, I'm not sure I would want a contractor putting holes in my wood floor to lay new laminate flooring down.

Your tongue and groove terms are backwards. The lip that sticks out is the tongue and the slot is the groove. Given that, we can try to keep up with the description and change them in our head as you go along but geeze that is a lot of pausing to reverse your instruction.

So how did the plank go together going through the door way ? You can’t tip it up at an angle ?

Covering that beautiful floor

What determined where you snapped your chalk line?

I love your guides and tips Joe, you explain processes extremely well. Much appreciated! Starting line for my project is the one that is making me nervous - because opposite my preferred starting wall, I have a stair going down (so essentially that main floor is a giant 'landing' level and needs a stair nosing strip to finish it). Between this video and the one from about a year ago (measuring from door transition back to the starting point) that will give me good confidence to start it in the right location. It's a very wide section, so the 10 plank trick is essential to get the layout width exact. I'm a convert to Flooret after seeing your reviews on their products, but important to note their stated width on Silvan spec sheet is NOT correct, so measuring 10 planks is definitely good way to go for anyone. I'm planning to give myself an extra 1/4" over, since it HAS to overhang the edge - It can be long but absolutely cannot be short! :)

What determined the chalk line measurement and how did you determine the 41 inch measurement?

So, so helpful!! Just getting m supplies together and I ordered the wrong underlayment… thought thicker was better!! Thanks for steering me away from a big mistake ♥️🙏🏼♥️
