Not only did your video help me accomplish my LVP install in my master bath, but you blessed me and mine at the end! Thank you so much 🫶🏻 Just wanna send those blessings right back atcha! 🙏🏼

Hey Joe, I just installed about 2100 sqft of vinyl plank (Pergo Duracraft from Lowes) through my house using your methods. It turned out great! Only problem is now people want me to do their floors too lol. Thanks for all your advice and clear instructions.

Hi Joe. I am a 65 yr old nurse who just retired and an avid DIYer. I wanted you to know how much I enjoy your videos. I always learn a lot and think you're a great guy. You remind me of my son. Keep up the good work. Loved your prayer! Nice touch.

Just installed 900 sq ft of quickstep studio. Never done it before . Started preparing weeks before and so many of your shortcuts and videos saved me tons of time and money. The floors turned out great. People have commented and aske where i learned ro do it. I referred them to your channel. God bless you 🙏 ✝️ and thank you so much.

Great to hear!

Not religious, but I always appreciate a good prayer. Thanks for all the help and keep on keeping on!

Thanks for the help and very useful information! And more importantly thanks for the Prayers! One of the main reasons i come back to your video's.

I just love the fact that you pray for us at the end of each video. Thanks Joe! Also I’m learning a ton watching your videos! Going to install LVP on almost 1400 SF first floor (living room, kitchen, hall, bathroom, etc.)

Thanks for your prayers Joe and may God continue to bless you. When I need to check up on something I go straight to your videos.

LOVE the prayer at the end. Blessings on your work and ministry!

Wow, Joe, you are a great teacher! The glue stick tip is a wonderful help for us DIY'ers. Thank you and God Bless you and your family.

Great video and yes, I have done these on the floors I install, but the best part was the prayer. Thank you Joe, we all need to hear that. God Bless you and your family.

Thanks Joe! Blessings to you and you family as well.

Thanks a bunch Joe! This video was super helpful! I pray God blesses you and your family as well.

i learn so much from you and I love the fact that you wish your viewers well and pray for us. I really need your well wishes and prayers after the tragic loss of my son! I am trying to stay busy to forget my grief. I have viewed almost every video you have on LVT. I feel comfortable I can install in the basement of my other son . I do get the gist behind the cheat sheet and building the ten row planks but I am having a hard time using it to predict where a certain plank will fall and I do not get the idea of determining the layout off of the hallway and tying it with the other landmarks using the straight outside walls. thank you very much

I am very sorry to hear this Laurence. I really do feel your pain and was crushed when I read this because I also have lost my son Brandon a little over a year ago and it has been the hardest thing I have ever dealt with in my lifetime. I do pray for you during this tough time in your life. I pray that God blesses you and your son's soul and that you will be together again. It get's more manageable over time, but the grief and sorrow will always be there as it should, right? I never want to lose those feelings completely. I always want to remember my son!

@@SoThatsHowYouDoThat thank you very much. god bless you. I learned so much from you about LVT and life

Thanks joe do you have any advice for leveling a dip in a wood floor before installing lvp

I’ve found that masterweld doesn’t stick to lvp transitions very well. I use it for laminate and hardwood transitions only. Sika Flex is what I use for lvp transitions. I never use the tracks the transitions come with either. Another thing I like to do with those types of moldings you’re using at the slider is I will rip them down to make a square edge on the side facing the slider. Otherwise the rounded edge facing the slider creates kind of a dirt and dust trap which can be difficult to clean.

I dont think I'd cover up real wood with that plastic stuff, but you do a good job.

Hey, Joe! How do you suggest laying down vinyl plank in a sunroom, where the walls are covered with vinyl siding? It's an exposed porch that we enclosed it, to make it a sunroom. It was recommended that I remove the lower vinyl siding and J channel. I really don't want to cut anything. How do I make a firm surface on the walls, when I start tapping together the planks. Thanks!

Is there a video explaining how to lay LVP through doorways? Also, in this video, do you use the pull bar to lock the floor without being able to lift it?

I did 1,500 sq ft of laminate in a rental for a client (he just trusted me to do a good job) Now that I'm finished I can see my progression from the 1st 80 sq ft room on into the 350 sq ft room and so on. I progressed from from watching these videos and then applying Joe's techniques. P.S. The "cheater" board rules!!

Hey Joe, is there a good way to install quarter round against a slider on concrete? For example, can a quarter round be glued to the slider base?

Great videos! Getting ready to install LVP. It's replacing older laminate and 1/4" ply underlayment that was also removed. Any tricks for dealing with the excess gap (about 1/4") at the bottom of the door casing and trim? The LVP is much thinner than the laminate and underlayment that was there. Thanks

Are there any glue at lowes or homedepot you would recommend? Thank you

Thank you for the prayer at the end of your world video God bless you

So when using an end cap over the slab would you put construction adhesive right over the underlayment? Or do you cut the underlayment by the door to put adhesive directly to slab?

Hi, im doing my flooring myself (first time lol) and i live in an old NYC apt which has those 1950 old radiators covered with a bulky steel cover. Can you/anyone advise me on what I can use to hide the expansion gap around that area? something that goes around the 90 degree edges too. Thanks in advance

How do you lock the spacer that can leave the expansion gap for end molding?

awesome video! what do you typically do when there is expansion gap between the kitchen cabinets and the floating floors?

So this is off topic but I just did my flooring and I have a height difference of between 2-3mm between my flooring and tile. Should I use a reducer

Whats the name of that trim tool?

What kind of trim do you use around fireplaces that have tile i left and expansion gap for my LVP coming up to it. Not sure what to use to hide the gap. Thank you God bless.

You can use quarter round, a bead of silicone that matches the tile or the plank or you can use rope.

Hey brother, I'm staring down the barrel of a full house vinyl plank installation in my parents house. I'm fairly handy, am reasonably confident in my ability (more so after watching your videos). What tooling would you say is mandatory? What is optional (if any)? And are there any items you think I can save money on for a one off project? I'm a big guy , and was concerned about knee pads specifically. I noticed the ones you linked in one of your videos were about $100, and was curious if there was a reasonably acceptable budget option or if it's one of those corners that it's absolutely not worth cutting.

I answered your question here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/p2dlzal_g6-7hZs.html

So you run into no issues with glueing that first row?? 100% makes sense way better then messing with those starter pieces moving

Hey Joe so I could really use a bit of advice if you happen to see this. So I just finished doing 3k feet of "luxury vinyl plank flooring" in my house. My wife is now nit picking the heck out of it. My question/example for you is...Lets say you do an entire house i.e new floor, new baseboards installed and painted, etc. and job is done. Then you notice a gap develop but do not have the option of using the pull bar due to no access. Is there some technique/filler/magic dance that can fix this? Thanks in advance if you see this and would have been nice if your video popped in my feed 6 weeks ago. So many great tips I didn't see anywhere else. Never thought about glue instead of spacers. I freaking hate those spacers. I burned them all after I was done haha. Thanks a lot KZread
