You are completely correct. I am a union trained 37 year hardwood installer and finisher. That floor is installed incorrectly including the underlayment.
@@4evergav what was wrong with the underlayment btw? is it because it doesn't overlap enough and not taped down? what's the correct method by the book in terms of putting down underlayment? i usually buy the ones with the adhesive layer on top, so i just overlap it, dont really need to tape it
@@fudgebrowniie-jenkins9847 It looks bad. And it's the wrong way to do it. Just because he did it fast without any shoes on like a homeless guy waiting to be paid in booze does not make it impressive to do it wrong.
1) This isn’t wood is laminate 2) Pre-cutting the laminate by bunch you will have a lot of waste, is better to start with 3-4 cut pieces and reuse the left over from the end to start a new line. 3) The best way to install laminate, hardwood, or plank is not having a pattern, meaning mixing the lengths of the floor. 4) Baseboards he did a really good job.

As a floor layer I start full starter piece, 1/2 starter piece, 3/4 starter piece, 1/4 starter piece, then go in-between all of those long then little long then little. That staircase look is garbage.
Joins in boards are still visible, and there appears to be a lack of suitable expansion gap at the edges, simply no need to rush this kind of job.......

A lot of people here complaining about the wrong process of installation, but the true purpose of this video is to get more viewers, watch the ads and get money from youtube. hahaha.

He is rushing through the job and i can already see gaps in the flooring, being quick is not always the best thing. Taking your time and doing a proper job is better in my eyes..
@Donald Kasper the gaps are NOT from cutting freeform. They wouldnt lock if he did that. The cut edges are against the wall. The ends are beveled by the manufacturer which is why u see a gap.
That would drive me insane... all those joints repetitively spaced like that... i make it a point for that NOT to happen when i do floors... it looks horrible that way.... nice trick on the mitres and at the door casings though

I’ve seen all sorts of construction practices in Thailand, on the two houses that I had built and on other people’s houses. The guy here went barefoot but the proper construction shoes in Thailand are flip flops. They tie bamboo together for ladders and scaffolding. They consume an amazing number of m-80 bottles per day to stay awake. They are great workers but if you ask them if they can do plumbing, electrical, or (in my case) landscape sprinkler systems, they will always say “can do,” even if they don’t have the slightest idea of how to do it. That results in having to fire them and bring in a specialist. I have my trees trimmed every year or two and I’m always amazed that they climb the trees barefoot with a machete. I do what I can from the ground with a cordless saws all.

Great Video. Sequoia Flooring is a licensed and insured Greater Van Nuys, California based hardwood floor company, specializing in sales, installation, staining, repairs.
Originally a wood floor was expensive so they used every inch of it, when I installed a floor I staggered the length so it was completely random , having the same space between the end of each board to me makes it look cheap, no matter how good the installer was
It's generally more efficient to do them randomly and as you said looks much better. This guy just started several rows ta the same time cutting each board about 6" different from the previous one. This creates even more waste rather than using previous end cutoff as the start for the following row. And yes, it looks terrible.
This guy speed is incredible and looks comfortable doing the job, obviously he does that for a living, I am not a profesional installer but have installed few floors myself, but there are few things that I've noticed that's contrary to what i was told; One is the amount of material waisted, the second is, the stair pattern on the floor is well defined, meaning the joints are not fully locked at the end, maybe that's the design intended, i dont know but i was told that the idea is to make it appear as a seameless surface, not an obvious pattern between the end joints. And the third is, the fact that there is no space in between wall and laminate, which as i understand it, is necessary for the laminate planks to expand and therefore, evading from possible future warping.
you wan to see real waste, go around the back of big name supermarkets by the end of the week right before the new stock comes you will see dumpsters full of food wasted...and yet many in the world are starving...yet here we are complaining about a few man made fake wood boards that can be reused to make that again in a factory being wasted
By the way .... he also forgot about the foil if the panels are laid on a concrete floor.He put an ordinary cheap sponge that is actually not used anymore. Even at the time this video was recorded, there were already more professional underlays already existed. He didn't even tape the sponge together so what kind of a professional is he???
Woaw! I never said what he was doing was perfect, but he'd certainly make me money. And bear in mind we're installing laminate flooring here, it's a shite product. It's only bound to last 3-5 years before its fucked.
Your an idiot if you start him. This floor will break after a couple of weeks let alone 3 -5 years..floating floors need to be staggered for strength since they move. Not only that after it gets humid in there that floor is gonna expand and since he left no room for that it's gonna buckle and all the joints are gonna look like little shit..not to mention it's visually not appealing on top of all the mistakes... I can only imagine the amount of customers you have pissed off...
This video should say, this is how not to install a hardwood floor. The only way you'd install it like this, is, if it's not your house and it's for sale by a builder that will only pay you to do it fast. The joints should be offset. If not you'll see the step pattern when the floor is finished. I randomly pick the boards from a few open boxes to mix any color change in the wood.
see... and you said people dont think...thats possibly exactly what happened people dont want to pay top dollar anymore...not around here where I live at least
@@mucsalto8377But the title states it's wood flooring. It should say, wood like. I guess when you don't know the difference, this is how one installs it. Irregardless of what type of flooring it is, you'll still see the step. Why are you doing it so quickly then? Are you in a race? Do it properly, as the directions on the box states. Also, with a poor man's flooring you have to make sure all the boxes were manufactured at the same time. Dye lots can change, so unless you don't do this you may have a variance in the color. Check the date and if they're not all manufactured on the same date, you'll need to open up the boxes that aren't and compare their color.
Na I like the way I lay out my planks in a random pattern. All I saw with that floor was the diagonal seams all running the same direction. Zipper effect. I would have had you tear it all up. Honestly I’ve never seen a floor laid like that in the north eastern US. It’s a speedy way to get the job done faster that’s about it.
Let me be clear and make sure we both know what we’re talking about. An H pattern is a layout where all the board ends at the same points every other row creating an H appearance. I’m not talking about doing an H pattern in my layouts. I lay random board patterns with a variety. The eye sees a floor with no particular pattern, a continuity throughout the whole floor. With Your layout the eye is drawn to those diagonal seams. The brain tries to make sense of what it’s looking at and finds patterns in everything. As an installer you might not find issue with that but an interior designer would find that as a distraction. Random seams is the way to go. I don’t use laminate or vinyl flooring so maybe it’s different rules for those materials.
@@stayreal5083 I lay staggered. Try to avoid any end joints from being less than 12” from another. The idea of a floor is to avoid an unintentional pattern and keep continuity.
Awesome work! Quick tip: On the 1st plank of the 2nd row, don't lock the board just slide it in by hand, and this way the ends of the planks easily slide in flush by hand! Then when you have the whole row finished, you can just hit it down with your palm while holding it in with your other hand. No hammer needed.
You are exactly right that's not how you put flooring in it is if u dont care about how it looks like. Its supposed to be looking like real hardwood and u stagger the joints alot better then what they are doing in the video. It looks like u are walking up a set of stairs not good and u have to leave a gap around the wall for movement. Horrible
This is exactly how NOT to install a pre finished floor. Your eye will pick up a repeat pattern as soon as you walk in the room. Joints should be staggered and never closer than 6” to 8” from adjacent row. We call this a staircase pattern. Its the lazy way of doing things. We will make subs re do the job to our customers expectations. Our customers would not accept this job. On the other hand, if you don’t know what it should look like, then its all good. I still would hire him and re train him to our standards. He is fast. Love his steel toe boots. Palmetto Custom Floors.
I'm not a professional installer. I've installed 5 hardwood floors so far, hardwood, laminate and engineered. I would never install a floor like this! It's a perfect ladder.
@shoey rocks I am a finish carpenter and don't really do much flooring but I was told it is supposed to be kind of a random pattern, at least with hardwood. Is that right?
@@shoey64 Some people do not like a random pattern, they prefer a regular, but rarely a ladder effect. The problem these days is that less common wood, such as oak, do not come in planks with the same length, so you have no choice but to go with an irregular pattern.
yep, but whos to say, maybe thats what they like.. I mean tile is pretty much the same its almost never random... besides if you think about when do you really pay attention to a flooring? we just walk over it
I don't care for the design and they should pay closer attention to the wood grain. While I like the baseboards, the end result at the doorframes could have been much cleaner.
yea lmao. the floor looks like shit, and i bet it'll start separating and lifting within a year or less hahahah. Just because someone has the physical ability to do such a job doesn't mean they know how to do the job properly.
This guy was not a professional installer. He was not trained. You never cut timber to small pieces. For random installation, lay one row planks. The off cut from the last piece is to be used to start the second row.
thinking all of you guys who commented a “lot of errors”.. then do a video on your own and share it publicly, I hope you do it 90% or more,.. recieving very good remarks.. It's actually easy to comment negatively but without seeing you doing better..

This video should say, this is how not to install a hardwood floor. The only way you'd install it like this, is, if it's not your house and it's for sale by a builder that will only pay you to do it fast.
The joints should be offset. If not you'll see the step pattern when the floor is finished. I randomly pick the boards from a few open boxes to mix any color change in the wood.
see... and you said people dont think...thats possibly exactly what happened people dont want to pay top dollar anymore...not around here where I live at least
there bis no color change as this is not a hardwood, but laminated mdf.
@@mucsalto8377But the title states it's wood flooring. It should say, wood like. I guess when you don't know the difference, this is how one installs it. Irregardless of what type of flooring it is, you'll still see the step. Why are you doing it so quickly then? Are you in a race? Do it properly, as the directions on the box states. Also, with a poor man's flooring you have to make sure all the boxes were manufactured at the same time. Dye lots can change, so unless you don't do this you may have a variance in the color. Check the date and if they're not all manufactured on the same date, you'll need to open up the boxes that aren't and compare their color.
I wouldn't even call this guy a greenhorn at this point😆
not hardwood...its lvp
That stagger pattern is NOT gud for strength! You need to vary the joints expecially for a floating floor! THIS IS INCORRECT...very hard worker tho!
100% sir
Exelente trabajo amigo good job.
Lindo trabalho.

My only suggestion is to avoid the pattern in your layout of the planks.
Na I like the way I lay out my planks in a random pattern. All I saw with that floor was the diagonal seams all running the same direction. Zipper effect. I would have had you tear it all up. Honestly I’ve never seen a floor laid like that in the north eastern US. It’s a speedy way to get the job done faster that’s about it.
How so? My floors on the second floor of my home 90 year old oak laid in a random pattern and holding fine.
Let me be clear and make sure we both know what we’re talking about. An H pattern is a layout where all the board ends at the same points every other row creating an H appearance. I’m not talking about doing an H pattern in my layouts. I lay random board patterns with a variety. The eye sees a floor with no particular pattern, a continuity throughout the whole floor. With Your layout the eye is drawn to those diagonal seams. The brain tries to make sense of what it’s looking at and finds patterns in everything. As an installer you might not find issue with that but an interior designer would find that as a distraction. Random seams is the way to go. I don’t use laminate or vinyl flooring so maybe it’s different rules for those materials.
@@haighyvshaighy how do you lay your planks. Do you stagger?
@@stayreal5083 I lay staggered. Try to avoid any end joints from being less than 12” from another. The idea of a floor is to avoid an unintentional pattern and keep continuity.
Awesome work! Quick tip: On the 1st plank of the 2nd row, don't lock the board just slide it in by hand, and this way the ends of the planks easily slide in flush by hand! Then when you have the whole row finished, you can just hit it down with your palm while holding it in with your other hand. No hammer needed.
bad installation method. but you don't understand installation, that's why you think its awesome. but this installation is wrong.
What wrong
He's bloody quick ain't he 😉
Looks nice.. Suggestion: It might be an improvement to be a little more random with the end cuts. I see there is a straight step pattern forming.
Stair step pattern looks bad
To somebody who knows nothing about my flooring. Doesn’t matter. Especially in a commercial space.
You are exactly right that's not how you put flooring in it is if u dont care about how it looks like. Its supposed to be looking like real hardwood and u stagger the joints alot better then what they are doing in the video. It looks like u are walking up a set of stairs not good and u have to leave a gap around the wall for movement. Horrible
Only thing missing was the health and safety. Just loved those bare feet. He truely believed in his own skills.
Health and safety is the modern word for common sense

Amazing bro you're the best. Love watching you putting the floor and look amazing. 😍😍
Olá boa tarde nossa como vc é incrível trabalhar muito bom Deus tir abençoe 💝
Boa noite! Muito lindo, maravilhoso, que agilidade, parabéns! Amei!
what are you doing
Саломшшщщщщоо
This is exactly how NOT to install a pre finished floor. Your eye will pick up a repeat pattern as soon as you walk in the room. Joints should be staggered and never closer than 6” to 8” from adjacent row. We call this a staircase pattern. Its the lazy way of doing things. We will make subs re do the job to our customers expectations. Our customers would not accept this job. On the other hand, if you don’t know what it should look like, then its all good.
I still would hire him and re train him to our standards. He is fast. Love his steel toe boots.
Palmetto Custom Floors.
Joseph Guidera exactly what I was thinking
I agree with you. Stagger them out.
That’s what I said to
Show me the same floor in six months. I bet their are gaps all over the place.
Very well, thank you for sharing, My house has installed flooring on Floordi already, the construction method is the same.
Fantastic job!
I'm not a professional installer. I've installed 5 hardwood floors so far, hardwood, laminate and engineered. I would never install a floor like this! It's a perfect ladder.
I've done over 200 and would not ever do this shit. It will separate in 6 months. TOPS.
@@freddiecurry4397 Gotta love how he hammers the hell out of it and rams it into the wall.
@shoey rocks I am a finish carpenter and don't really do much flooring but I was told it is supposed to be kind of a random pattern, at least with hardwood. Is that right?
@@shoey64 Some people do not like a random pattern, they prefer a regular, but rarely a ladder effect.
The problem these days is that less common wood, such as oak, do not come in planks with the same length, so you have no choice but to go with an irregular pattern.
yep, but whos to say, maybe thats what they like.. I mean tile is pretty much the same its almost never random... besides if you think about when do you really pay attention to a flooring? we just walk over it
Bela aula!
Wow great job,, very nice i like it
Стены идеально ровные!!!
Деревянный плинтус идеально подошёл!
He fitted it in a mad way you could of measured your ends so that you could of banged full lengths in and made fewer cuts.
Definitely would get fired if I did something like that 😂 but that’s a whole different country so that probably looks amazing to them
Exelentisimo amigo mis sinceros respetos.
Wow! Excellent 👍
Totally wrong
Manufacturers warranty voided due to stairway pattern
Never taped seams on moisture barrier.
Lol unreal
I noticed that just from the thumbnail lol
Call me please
The pattern is like an old Indian home....half of those aren't locked in......my ocd is goin nuts rn 🤪 I've seen women do this better
Yea those seems are wayyy too close.
I don't care for the design and they should pay closer attention to the wood grain. While I like the baseboards, the end result at the doorframes could have been much cleaner.
take this video down before someone thinks this is the correct way to install flooring.
yea lmao. the floor looks like shit, and i bet it'll start separating and lifting within a year or less hahahah. Just because someone has the physical ability to do such a job doesn't mean they know how to do the job properly.
Agree, horrible layout.
It's a lot of waste.
Lol
To be honest he's making a fking mess....👎
Excellent work man...
I really love this skirt u made it's edges...
This guy was not a professional installer. He was not trained. You never cut timber to small pieces. For random installation, lay one row planks. The off cut from the last piece is to be used to start the second row.
At least try connecting them together before hammering them in like that
helal olsun. ellerine sağlık. çok güzel oldu.
Muy buen trabajo y excelencia.
Eres muy profesional, Dios te bendiga
Pos lo hiso todo mal!😂
Good job
Это видео о том , как делать нельзя ?
Anh thợ mộc này làm quá đẳng cấp .
美しいですね！！！
thinking all of you guys who commented a “lot of errors”.. then do a video on your own and share it publicly, I hope you do it 90% or more,.. recieving very good remarks.. It's actually easy to comment negatively but without seeing you doing better..
FrFr!! This looks hella better than a lot I’ve seen up here. And he was moving faster, without nary stitch of shoes on!
