Hey Jeff, Thank you for putting these great videos together. I have several home projects and you're a huge help throughout all of them. I have hit a bit of a snag -- I've ripped out the carpeting from one of our rooms and found out that the previous owners built the walls on top of the carpeting. So I have all of these little pieces of carpet hanging out from under the wall. I've struggle with trying to rip through it with a utility knife (new, sharp blade), but am getting nowhere. I have a feeling I may not like the answer, but if you have anything to share, bring it on. I can take it. THANK YOU!

We had an awful time of getting the hardwood and glue off the concrete when we did our half bath, and definitely know removing the other rooms(kitchen and entryway) are just too much for us to attempt, unless we can prepare and just lay a new floor over what’s there. I think you gave us some great information, just want to know if you might add anything different to prepare the surface on the wood, different than what you mentioned? Thank you so much! Definitely love your channel and will be sharing with others!

Awesome video, and convenient timing. Ceiling drywall went up today, Dricore R+ going in this week, luxury vinyl planks are sitting in the garage. It's been quite an adventure so far, but I haven't failed any inspections and things are moving along! Keep up the great content!

U can't imagine how much I'm wanna say thank to u, u help me so much. I researched much for flooring , to know as much I can, and u give me like a super bonus, thank allot

I have to say that I have watched so many of your videos. They are always very informative, straight forward with no BS. Thanks so much for putting out such great videos..

Transitions between flooring materials have always been my nemesis - tiling a bathroom next to a carpeted hallway, or removing some continuous hardwood (water damaged) and tiling in a bathroom and trying to make it stable and attractive. I've gone for those metal transition strips like you'd mentioned (hooray!), using the tile-to-carpet ( _|\ ) and tile-to-hardwood ( __| ) styles. Getting the carpet cut back just enough and secured under it was a challenge... a couple 70lb packs of tile made a good carpet stretcher though! And glad I didn't grout next to the hardwood for the other bathroom. Planning on maybe some color-matched(ish) caulking where I had to cut back the hardwood to the transition. I was careful and spent a long time sanding to try for a straight edge but hard to do perfectly. Having a targeted discussion on those transitions helps - it always seems to not be included in people's demonstration videos and is difficult to stumble across the right video!

Just wanted to say , I always refer you to friends and family on home improvement tips. Well done and thanks you

Hey Jeff, you are a rock star, thanks for all the great content! I plan on renovating our main level floor, but I have a third sub-floor type in this 1955 home. We have a wood sub floor with diagonal planks over dimensional lumber joists. We plan on going the vinyl plank route, which means plywood screwed to these planks, but I've found mixed instructions on how to do this right. It appears that my plan should be to remove the skinny oak board flooring, then eliminate any squeaks in the sub-floor boards with screws, then lay plywood on top (not really sure on the thickness required) for a smooth base, and then only screw the plywood to the wooden planks and not into the floor joists. Is that last step correct? Just seems weird to only screw to the planks, but some of the science makes sense with allowing the wooden slats to expand and contract. Everything on top of the plywood, you've covered which I greatly appreciate. Thanks for your help!

All really super useful information, especially the very last segment of the video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience Jeff.

If you have some dips in your slab and you want to address them before covering your slab with a vapor barrier and OSB substrate. Use floor leveling compound. You don't have to "skim coat" your entire floor, you can just fill spots as needed. They come in 40-50lb bags and generally one bag is twice as much as you'll need to address those dips.

I love your videos Jeff. I I have learned so much from watching your videos about home maintenance, repairs, and upgrading. a single woman I a 60 year old house.

When you talk about keeping the plywood clean for tile, in the case of plywood and even a self leveling cement, if it is already dirty from paint and Plaster, is it okay to just give it a quick sand and clean, in order to insure it will make a good bond with the mortar?

Hi Katie, if your subfloor is screwed down it will help. if it is old and soft then consider adding a layer of 3/8 plywood with screws. i did a video about that. the other option is to install the vinyl plank in the opposite direction of the joists. that will help to keep the joints together and no you don't need another underlay, the one that comes on the floor will be fine. as long as your subfloor is 5/8 you should be ok. Cheers!

I wish I had found this channel a few years ago. But since finding it a few months ago I have watched every video you release. Keep up the AWESOME work!

Thank you for all the fantastic videos Jeff. I appreciate your ability to keep it real and down to earth with all your tips and suggestions for us DIYers. My question is, how to fix a 2nd floor subfloor that that has 2 weak spots (1 in each bedroom) that cover about a 4 sq ft space just as you walk into the bedrooms. Weirdly, both spots are right where there are ceiling fans on the floor living room area. I've pulled all the carpeting in the bedrooms to prepare to put down hardwood flooring but afraid to start laying anything back down until I fix those two spots so the room doesn't shake when you walk into them. I put a ball on the floor and it rolls toward those spots in both rooms (so, yeah... definitely sagging a bit). The downstairs living room has wood paneling on the ceiling. So, I'm wondering if this can be repaired from above (or from the 2nd floor), or if I have to pull down some paneling to get to it from below. Hard to tell until I cut into the floor... very nervous about doing that (probably because I haven't done it before). Thanks for any tips or recommendations.

I am enthralled with your teaching advice. I am in a rental slightly more than a studio ( tiny 1 bedroom/1bath ) apartment with horrid pink 4" tile on bathroom walls and shower/tub. The 1" Mosaic type on the floor. 76" one way, 61" the other, a decent sized window and door on the long ends. 3 piece. My partner, an amputee, needed grab/assist bars, shower chair and such to shower properly. His Wchair just fits between the vanity and (very old metal) tub. I want to rip out the tile work, and make sure it's up to par instead of 1950-60. I absolutely loved that " whole bathroom a shower" video. Even if it we're just one color/type of coverage, to have that room for movement!! You inspire me! 😊

In case it helps, I think he mentioned to google "wholesale flooring suppliers". And in answer to someone else's question, he writes, "The brand is less important than the thickness and the rigidity. Every area has different brands names but in many cases are selling the same product. as for an underlayment find one that is thick and more of a dense foam that has an STC rating of 20. that will always be a good one. Cheers!"

I couldn't find wholesale flooring companies nearby but Amazon has much better deals than HD and Floor & Decor. I was hoping to find a thicker rubber pad but ended up buying Roberts First Step because it's $.20 sq ft with STC 67 and R-Value .40. I'm taking that EZ Foam shit back to F&D.

You explained everything that I've been researching and made it totally understandable. Thanks for the knowledge and your experience.

Wow! I cannot believe the amount of information in this video. Thanks Jeff great stuff

When he says “scroll down to the question and answers” does he mean the comments?
