Thank you so much!

Thank you Joe. Your videos have made a huge difference on my first time installation with vinyl plank. Getting rid of the cheap plastic spacers and screwing holding blocks to the floor instead, cheater boards, and flipping the boards backwards to measure next cuts made a huge difference in saving time and having professional results. Well done good and faithful servant.

Best video I've seen dealing with the little issues that are the truth of LVP. So many others just show how easy it is without a reality check!

We started to install our floor. Had some problems. Stopped what we were doing, watched your videos, started over and now it looks great with a lot less frustration. Thanks especially for the prayers!

Thanks for helping me gain the courage for my first DIY vinyl plank installation on our home! I'm starting on it tomorrow after work and feel 10x better to do this myself! God bless you and your teachings!

Joe, huge help. I wish I would have watched this video about screwing some scraps down before I taped 25 spacers around the walls, and now I have a gap at the second door jamb because I couldn’t figure out to cut the lip and glue it there, and my final row of planks that come right to my front door is about a 1 inch strip. Man I feel like I blew my first plank job. Thanks for sticking your faith into your videos and dedicating so much of your time to helping others with these videos!!!

Over 10years on the tools and this was the best video on installing planks I have ever seen

I’ve done a lot of flooring in my life and I always learn some helpful tips from you! Awesome videos! God bless

You rock!!!!!! Thank you!!!! And thank you most for the prayer at the end! It was a much needed blessing and a welcome surprise!!!! Thank you!

im glad i found you. the fact that you pray at the end is amazing. ive been going through some stuff lately and GOD has been with mr through every step and has eveb carrihied me a ton. i started to do this project becsuse when i prayed i was steered in this direction to take ny nind off of what was happening. god bless sir and i cant wait to watch the rest of your videos.

Hi Joe, thank you for the helpful tips and above all, your prayers and blessings in Jesus name! I’m going to be installing laminate flooring soon for the first time and your encouragement is really appreciated! I’ll watch more of your videos before I get started on my project! Thanks again and God bless you and yours always!

Thank you for the clear demonstrations that you have presented in this video. Your matter of fact explanations really make it easy to follow you and I don't feel as though I am the cause of the problems I have encountered with my flooring installation. Please keep it up!

Joe, thanks so much for that. I've been wrestling with a (12 x 24 size) LVT floor for the last three days and after watching this and screwing the edges down, I'm finally getting it together. The spacers are a joke, and the screws around the edge work great! Thanks again.

Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with this flooring for almost a week. Your tips are wonderful!

Man Joe, I sure am glad I found your channel. I've watched several videos and some more than once. I started a laminate wood install today and used so may of your tips. I had some trouble with understanding how to run the first row in a room out of square, but eventually figured it out. The work is slow with one person, and man, the constant getting up and down has me cooked! Thanks again, Joe!

Thank you so much!!! I’m using a different product than what I’m used to and I spent an hour trying to fit two pieces together. I could get the end or the long side perfect but not both. One more try after watching this and it’s perfect. Thank you so much!!

Great tips Joe, I've said it before and I'll say it again that your advice was integral in my 900 sqft, no threshold, luxury vinyl, full main floor installation.

Thanks for the vid! Me and the wife are Installing this vinyl flooring right now and everything was popping out! We screwed in shims at the sides like you showed and it's all working out now.. my poor wife had to hear me curse and scream for 2 hours until I found your vid! Thanks Joe!

My first pull bar was in the fire in Santa Rosa in 2017. I found it in the remains. Havnt done flooring in 5 years. So on this flooring job. I brought a new one. And it’s just to thick. So I got my burnt rusted bar. Sanded it clean it. And it work like a charm.

Thank you! I needed a refresher for my old laminate that I had to replace some boards. I couldn't remember how to do the 2 lipped edges. I got it now. Bless you. Old lady here. I put in about a 1000 ft of laminate 12 years ago. If I do it again ever, I will never get 4 inch plank again! heh

I've been installing hybrid 5g flooring planks over concrete (with a 5mm rubber mat on top). I found it best to put my body weight on the already installed planks when I'm putting in a new row. With the 5g system you slip the long side on first at a 20 degree angle and work on closing any gaps along the board gently by hand. After that the end piece closes nicely with a 'click' on the previous board. No tools required.

Thank you for all of your great videos.

Thank you for the blessing 🙏🏻may GOD bless you and your family !

YOUR VIDEO HAS BEEN A GOD SEND. DOING LVP FOR MY ELDER NEIGHBORS. SEALING AT THE BEGINNING ROW. SCREW DOWN THE FIRST TWO ROWS. THE SEAMS ARE SO TIGHT. AND USING A PIECE OF THE PLANK WITH THE BACK SIDE TO TAP IN. THE TAPPING BLOCK DID MORE DAMAGE THEN GOOD. VERY SMART MOVE. MADE THE JOB MUCH EASIER AND FASTER. YOU ARE A BLESSING. THANK YOU SO MUCH. MAY GOD KEEP BLESSING YOU. CAUSE YOUR BLESSING. ARE A BLESSING FOR ME AND OTHERS.

EXCELLENT! Thank you for your dedication for making great videos. Much appreciated!

Thanks for the help. I've already learned so much. I feel like things will go so much better for me now.

Really Appreciate ur installation teachings Needed It

For severaldays now I've been fightng, trying to.figure out what tool is used to set these vinyl planks from the wall, to the following plank, i just kept thinking "there must be something similar to a carpet kicker that installers use to do this task" welp, you just answered my question" a pull bar is in order!!!. Thank you very much for publishing this video!🇺🇸👋🤠👍🙏

So, I'm doing my first LVP install as a homeowner. Couple things I didn't do, (even after watching your videos). I didn't screw it down to prevent movement. I found that the floor did move slightly and had to readjust the whole thing. I didn't open all of the boxes. I bought a great deal on clearance flooring and many planks had cracked corners and grooves. Instead of two rooms, now I'll have enough for one. Some deal huh? You sure know what you're doing and you're good enough to share it! My advice to others is to follow your instructions to the letter! Thank you!

I'm starting to lay laminate in my daughter's living room and continuing into the kitchen. The starting row has a couple of challenges. First is the starting end is a staircase that is at a 30 degree angle to the wall. The second is a long metal baseboard heating vent that takes up most of the starting wall. It has enough flex to keep the planks from staying together. Screwing down the holding blocks should give me the solid base to start with. I wish I had seen this video before starting and wasting 2 days of frustration.

I use an opposite scrap inserted in tang an bang on it rather than a factory edge..like your method of keeping rows in line.. It will save some broken lock strips. some of this new encore flooring takes a pretty hard smack to lock em..love your tips!

Strong foundation using scrap screwed to floor is KEY! Great tip Joe thank you! Spacers are useless.
