I'm going to be completely honest, out of all the videos I've watching trying to learn how to do this, you are the only one who broke every part down and almost everytime broke it down in two different ways to help us understand. thank you so much I believe I now can do my floor
Love your videos, and since I just recently did a LVP floor for the first time I wanted to share a tip that I think more people should be aware of. Since you're already at Home Depot buying this flooring, consider asking the tool rental area about a "flooring & siding cutter". It's a tool that looks like a giant paper cutter, and it will snap the boards to length for you with the speed of a chop saw and the debris-free experience of a utility knife. Well worth the ~$30/day rental cost.
Bad news for Monroe, Louisiana Home Depot. They don’t rent any more cost savings they told me so if you wanna put an attic insulation in your screwed also.
You, sir, are a master. I've watched tons of videos of how to do this, but they're always so confusing and complicated. With yours I finally understood the best and easiest way of doing this. And of course, all the tricks and details that no one else shares. Thank you so much for your work, and for sharing it with the world.
I picked this flooring... actually, the wife picked this out so that's what we're going with. Been there! The flooring looks fantastic. You made it look easy enough I'd even consider putting some in.
Installed this brand of flooring in our kitchen a couple years ago. It has weathered daily use in a family of 6 really well. Laid up really well in an old house with old house floors. Pro tip, definitely don't put your baseboard down too tight against the new floor. You want the floor to expand and contract without seam separation or bowing. Really good install video.
@@Juiicedd height wise, at least 1/16", or the base will hold the floor as it expands and contracts and cause gaping between boards or heaving. You want it to float on the subfloor and not be pinched by the trim. Same with the walls, but I'd follow the directions, I think it was 1/8"-1/4" for a small room all around, but read it to be sure and remember that the bigger the room, the more the floating floor will expand and contract. That's the biggest downside to floating vinyl.
@@ryanwilson6162 thank you very much for the info! I’ll be installing my floors here in the following months of the year, so the tips are much appreciated!
Just installed LVP in my home from the decorator’s collection at HD. Flooring is made by mohawk. Our installation guide said it could be installed over linoleum, laminate, even engineered flooring so long as it’s not a floating floor itself. That laminate in the room should be fine and not void the warranty. Overall great video, wish I would have checked rooms in my home to see how out of square they were. Would’ve saved me a bit of extra work and cuts. Keep up the great content, always enjoy watching.
Haha I had the same problem with walls not being as straight as I'd expected... house was built in the 70's so not as bad as it could have been I guess.
I'm not looking to correct you even though I've installed flooring for a great deal of my life. Looks to me like you got it pretty well! Good job man. I am so sick and tired of people that don't know what they're doing putting videos up on youtube. You are not one of those guys!
Great work Matt, I installed LVP in my house. One thing you didnt mention, unless I missed it, is I had to vaccum the floor over and over as I went. If you get even a small pebble under that LVP you WILL feel it walking on the floor barefoot. My mainfloor is all concrete slab so there was lots of dust and random bits of rocks and foam from the carpet pad that was there before. I used tile adhesive I already had on hand to patch holes from the tack strip. For anyone trying this TAKE YOUR TIME. Sometimes I would get into a groove and feel like I was really making fast progress, and thats when I would make a mistake. Thanks Matt, love your videos.
Thanks for doing these videos. Reading instructions or even watching a company video never shows the extra details to keep in mind when working with an older house. I appreciate the extra tips you give about working around imperfections in an older home.
LVP is badass. I had a retail space where we had to take it up to replace some boards (where a counter was thru bolted into the concrete). Pulled up all the flooring so we could replace the boards with holes. Re installed it. It is life proof! Super durable.
Very nice job. You keep it simple and at the same time explain several ways to produce the same results. The best part is you never talk down to the people watching. Thanks for the video.
You make it look so simple but I know that making something appear "easy" takes SKILL. Hats off to you!!! You've motivated me to ease into bigger projects; thank you!
The floors look great, the colors are pretty and I like the way you explain how to do it all, little ways to make things easier, go more smoothly, you are detailed in the whole process so good job. Also I got tickled at why you picked that floor, you should do a video with your wife. Thanks for sharing your know how.
@@rjcapital3677 That's awesome! Thanks for the reply and I'm gonna keep watching your videos, I'm wanting to buy a shed, and make a home for me and my youngest son. I hope my oldest son will see what a good idea this is ( boy do I hope this is a good idea 😂) and make one for his little family (it's just him and two little boys). So I watch a variety of how to videos, I really enjoy doing the work myself, I have a lot to learn yet. I appreciate your channel 👍😁
I have a friend in Florida that renovated a older home and used this throughout the entire house. Her reason was unleveled floors with imperfections and in case of flooding. They looked nice.
I used a similar stuff from home depot last year I'm my kitchen and had an awful time with it because the whole system kept rotating as I was trying to lock pieces in. I watched other videos to prepare, but nothing that was quite as good as this one. Thank you!
I have looked at quite a few videos but you explained things so clearly and repeated the important points better than anyone else. Great Job and thank you for your video.
We hate grout on floors too. Impossible to keep clean. It's rarely a great solution for floors. Laminate is so much cleaner looking and feels better on bare feet.
Very nice video! Covered all the important points. I am a flooring installer and do this flooring on a daily basis. I use the knife method which eliminates getting up and down. Score once, snap, then bend the plank in the opposite direction to break apart the padding. I also use a estwing red and yellow mallet to install. It has a firm side and a slightly softer side. Just my preference though.
I learned some things from this video even though I have laid a fair amount of this stuff. The one thing I would say is that before you start calculate the gap you will have at the far wall. You don't want to have less than about 2 inches in width for the last strip. If it calculates out that you will, then cut a starting strip so the side strips both have at least 2 inch. The other thing is that I deal with a lot of really-not-square rooms in very old houses. Then you need to plan considerably more carefully, and think about what will hide the out-of-square best. It's usually easiest and also looks best to run your plank parallel to the two walls that are closest to parallel, and at the in-between angle that minimizes the "wedging" in the side strips.
Something that helps with remodels is to keep your drywall 1/2"-3/4" off the floor. That lets you have the expansion gap under the drywall to reduce the risk of seeing the gap under the trim.
LVP flooring is awesome! They key is go slow and easy...checking again and again. One it last forever if you are careful when moving furniture. Nice job...
Lowes has some nice lvp transitions. Its a metal channel you anchor to the subfloor between the lvp/hardwood/carpet, and the transition pushes down into the channel. Much better than the T-shaped anchor type.
I love your videos, you do step by step making sure to point out things that could happen and what to do about it. I love the floor, it looks fabulous.
I like the way you go into thorough detail about your projects. I've done some of these projects myself before, but many people are new to renovations and benefit from the complete steps from A to Z. We plan to take up old carpets and vinyl in our home and replace them with LVP in phases starting next year. I've done vinyl tiles before and Pergo so LVP should be similar to Pergo. I really enjoy your channel and can't wait for the next project.
If you want the SAME flooring throughout your house,, get it all at the same time plus 10% extra for waste! It's almost impossible to find matching material after awhile! Good luck!
I did a traditional laminate floor a few years back and found it wasn’t so durable to work with. I did over 1200sq ft and man did this bring back memories lol I too ended up using a regular hammer many times. But I got to say this looks a lot better to work with. If you used a hammer like that on Pergo without protecting the surface with say a rag it would be totally chipped lol Anyway, looks good! Also thought that was a pretty cool trick in the doorway using the screwdriver to pry things over!
Hello, Excellent details.. you make it easy for us in every video you do. I have same situation with subfloor regarding squeaks. My major concern is that the one end of the room has a bounce to it when I walk on the current floor. A piece of tv stand shakes on that side. Would you please give me your opinion on the possible cause? Would it be because of loose plank subfloor and screwing it down would solve the bounce issue .. I had estimate from 2 different flooring installers but their answer was not satisfactory. Thank you
Looks fantastic, Matt! When you do the time lapse video of the whole project, I (and probably a lot of other people) would love it if you would include putting the furniture and decor in the room. Please thanks! 😊
I used to be so DIY minded and was pretty good at it too if I do say so myself. But then got fat and lazy, so I am living vicariously through you! Beautiful job by the way. 🤓🤓🤓
You did an awesome job on the flooring and explaining. We put some down in my daughters room. Oh my word it was hard. We didn’t know any of the tricks you did. Once it’s down, it’s really tough and right. Thanks. We will be using it again so these tips will help. Blessing
I have never put in a floating vinyl floor before and leaning from you will be and excellent beginning. You mention underlayment i will do research to see what different underpayments there are.
Just had LVP installed on second floor. Watched the installers and then did my basement are on my own, pretty simple just a lot of work around the door ways as I didn’t do any transitions.
The seams swell from mopping or water spills after a period of time.I have a library of pictures I will post when I start my own channel.Your explanation is great.
It looks great, Matt! I've been putting off redoing the flooring in my kids' room, changing out the old, ugly, beaten up, paint splattered from previous owners parquet (can you tell how much I despise it?). Seeing this explained so well and simply definitely makes me feel more at ease about getting it done.
I've encountered that situation at the door jamb myself. Your idea of using two pieces to go under the jamb is excellent! Great video! I appreciate it!
going to put some lvp in my wife's glass work shop and was looking at vids!! Great breakdown of the process and tips !!!! the hole in the back i mite have cut a wood plug to drop in but as you said no one is going to be walking there. love the tips on snaping it together under the door , i wont have to worry about it mine is a pretty strait forward rectangle with a stairs into the loft as the only obstacle "except all the stuff stored there now" great work enjoyed the vid have fun from oklahoma
I really appreciate your style of telling it like it is. There are too videos made that if you have any knowledge of how to do that said project, it's a load of gunk. They NEVER show what really happened. All or even some of the common problems a person might encounter. Pffttt Annoying 🙄😠🤭 I love to learn new things because I do everything I can by myself. I prefer the physical labor work over a desk job. My biggest problems are my height and my small hands, plus I'm no spring chicken 😢🤣🤣 Thanks a million for the video. Keep up the good work and may you prosper from your endeavors.
I’m a DIY guy that has installed a lot of flooring for customers and I do recommend the life proof product. I do agree with everything you said and how you do the install. One thing I do is use the same product as spacers , you will have scrap flooring from your jobs don’t buy the spacers it’s a waste of money.
Great video, Matt. I especially loved when little Fixer came in and helped daddy in seating one of the planks. I really had to slow down your time laps to see him. I wasn't sure he was there at first, until I slowed it down. The floor looks amazing! Can't wait to see the full length video. Be safe!
Its one room, I would have used exact color of existing flooring. Keeps it uniform. Looks great! I really enjoyed your video of laying this floor. I have confident now to do mine!!
I don’t care what no one says, YOU’RE A GENIUS! It takes a lot of talent in my opinion to be able to know what to do and execute! I’ve learned a lot from your videos and I appreciate every one of them! Thank you😊 One question I have is do you have a video on how to read a tape measure? That’s my arch nemesis lol
Thank you so much for your video… I’m just about to put one of these floors in myself and having never done it before…I am so glad your video popped up on my feed…. very informative… I do have a suggestion for you though… I am a 71-year-old musician, and I have multiple friends who are deaf… I always wear ear protection, when I’m using power tools for that reason… I suggest you do too… one of my band buddies from back in the 70s so deaf he can’t even play anymore… protect yourself, bro… ✌️😎🎸
😍 This type of flooring has become my favorite!! I've seen it in homes. Sooo happy for this video because I am seriously considering it for my own house!🎉
❤ so i have to leave a space in all 4 walls???.. for expanding... 😮 And how about all the furniture that is going to be placed on top of it...doesn't interfere with the expansion? I'm trying to make 3 bedrooms 🤞🏻💪🏼🙏🏽Thank you
With this being the last room in the house that needs renovating minus the basement, any plans on selling for a bigger fixer upper? Building out the basement/laundry room?
Does the whole floor move? Or does it just need to expand and contract a bit? When you said not to put "cabinets" on top of it, I was wondering how useful it is in a living room when you have things like furniture, a hutch, ect.
Looks great and helpful hints! Some say no less than 8" on end pieces, I understand no less than 8 between seams, so I guess it really doesn't matter on ends?
Very nice video. You didn't talk about it, but I'm pondering the differences between carpet tile and vinyl plank flooring. I have no experience with either, but it seems like they're both fairly simple to install and both would probably do a good job of withstanding wear and tear over the years. For home use, but in a high traffic area with cats or dogs. Do you have any thoughts?

I work in a Home Depot rental and we rent the cutter all the time.
Yes! I have used one of these cutters. Fast, precise, easy. Paid $137 when I bought it a couple years ago. best way to go.
Bad news for Monroe, Louisiana Home Depot. They don’t rent any more cost savings they told me so if you wanna put an attic insulation in your screwed also.
Thanks for the tip! Thinking of doing the job myself!

I also marvel at how you video all the steps so well so we can see what you are pointing out.
I agree. Best demonstration I've seen! Thanks
I watch a few videos looking for how to stagger the boards this was the best one 👍😃. Thank you 👍
A floor you cant put furniture on! He said it!
You’re great at explaining how to do things. You get to it and don’t drag it out.
I’ve been doing floating floors since 1999… and I learned a new trick from you on this vid… I like the split and shift at the door! Thx
Very cool! Thanks!
I picked this flooring... actually, the wife picked this out so that's what we're going with. Been there! The flooring looks fantastic. You made it look easy enough I'd even consider putting some in.

how much of a gap would you say to leave between the baseboard and floor?
@@Juiicedd height wise, at least 1/16", or the base will hold the floor as it expands and contracts and cause gaping between boards or heaving.

I enjoyed watching this because of the detail you went through explaining what many novice DIYers consider the hard parts.
I found that scoring just once worked great. Just finished a bedroom floor.
I have a friend in Florida that renovated a older home and used this throughout the entire house. Her reason was unleveled floors with imperfections and in case of flooding. They looked nice.
I used a similar stuff from home depot last year I'm my kitchen and had an awful time with it because the whole system kept rotating as I was trying to lock pieces in. I watched other videos to prepare, but nothing that was quite as good as this one. Thank you!
We used a Coretech LVP product throughout our entire house on slab. Has performed very well over 5+ years
I have looked at quite a few videos but you explained things so clearly and repeated the important points better than anyone else. Great Job and thank you for your video.
The floor came out beautiful. You did an awesome job
Great job have done this many times . The old remodels are the tough ones. So many variables.
Absolutely love it. My son did my whole house with that flooring. No more tile!! I hate grout on floors.
We hate grout on floors too. Impossible to keep clean. It's rarely a great solution for floors. Laminate is so much cleaner looking and feels better on bare feet.
Am just about to do this myself, your approach gives me confidence...good production elements too, thanks :)
Awesome to hear. Hope it helps out, Ed!
Good choice on having the transition starting in the room and not in the hallway. I did the same thing with different floors in my home.
By far, one of the best LVP how to videos on YT. Great job, thanks.
I think the floor looks good. You make installing look easy. I love your instruction on how to do all that you do. Nicely done!
Very nice video! Covered all the important points. I am a flooring installer and do this flooring on a daily basis. I use the knife method which eliminates getting up and down. Score once, snap, then bend the plank in the opposite direction to break apart the padding. I also use a estwing red and yellow mallet to install. It has a firm side and a slightly softer side. Just my preference though.
Great job! I would totally feel confident enough to try that project now. You're a good teacher. Thanks!
Awesome to hear! Thanks, Judy!
You are so knowledgeable and gifted, love seeing how your house is turning out.
You are so awesome. You really care about your work. Floor looks absolutely beautiful. I'm gonna start calling you Norm Abram.
Thank you for making such great videos. I'm about to start developing my basement, and I've learned a bunch of stuff watching them.

Great job on emphasizing the importance of tight seams!
You're very patient , that's very important when you are teaching the tricks. Thx

Its one room, I would have used exact color of existing flooring. Keeps it uniform. Looks great! I really enjoyed your video of laying this floor. I have confident now to do mine!!
You never cease to amaze me with your absolute perfection!! as always it looks phenomenal!! ❤
As always, you’re making it look rather easy. Nicely done…
Best video I've seen; easy to follow, clear and concise. Thank you for posting this valuable information! 😁
man I have seen many videos and I thought it was impossible to do it myself until I found this video thanks very well explained and easy thank you 👊🏽.
That is so awesome to hear! Thanks for the comment and for checking out the video!!
I don’t care what no one says, YOU’RE A GENIUS! It takes a lot of talent in my opinion to be able to know what to do and execute! I’ve learned a lot from your videos and I appreciate every one of them! Thank you😊
One question I have is do you have a video on how to read a tape measure? That’s my arch nemesis lol
Thanks so much 😀 and YES I do have a video on how to read a tape measure th-cam.com/video/IU5_LGGSlT0/w-d-xo.html
Hope it helps. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video.
I am in the process of getting myself educated.
Thank you.
Excellent tutorial! Lots of invaluable info. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for your video… I’m just about to put one of these floors in myself and having never done it before…I am so glad your video popped up on my feed…. very informative… I do have a suggestion for you though… I am a 71-year-old musician, and I have multiple friends who are deaf… I always wear ear protection, when I’m using power tools for that reason… I suggest you do too… one of my band buddies from back in the 70s so deaf he can’t even play anymore… protect yourself, bro…
✌️😎🎸
This is the best flooring you can buy!!!!
Great instructional tutorial.
I have several rooms to put this product on the floors.
Good luck! I hope the video helps!
I really like how detailed you are. I learned with great ease. Thx.
😍 This type of flooring has become my favorite!! I've seen it in homes. Sooo happy for this video because I am seriously considering it for my own house!🎉
❤ so i have to leave a space in all 4 walls???.. for expanding...
😮 And how about all the furniture that is going to be placed on top of it...doesn't interfere with the expansion?
I'm trying to make 3 bedrooms 🤞🏻💪🏼🙏🏽Thank you
With this being the last room in the house that needs renovating minus the basement, any plans on selling for a bigger fixer upper? Building out the basement/laundry room?
I will say that things are going to get interesting… but that is all I can say right now. 😬. Stay tuned! Thanks so much for watching!
@@TheFixerHomeRepair awesome, I’ll be here watching and waiting with anticipation haha
I'm so glad you are almost done with this room. You have done an awesome job! 👌 my son put this type of flooring g throughout his home, he loves it!
Does the whole floor move? Or does it just need to expand and contract a bit? When you said not to put "cabinets" on top of it, I was wondering how useful it is in a living room when you have things like furniture, a hutch, ect.
Interesting. Good to know how to overcome the tricky bits. I do like the greyish tone hall colour floor. 👏
Looks great and helpful hints! Some say no less than 8" on end pieces, I understand no less than 8 between seams, so I guess it really doesn't matter on ends?
Great video! Answered a lot of my past issues installing flooring. Thank you!
Perfect. I'd like your modesty too, but it's necessary at all 😀 And you convinced to try, I promise I won't blame on you if I fail.
Thanks so much.
Thanks for all the great tips. So many things I was unaware of when installing a floating floor.
Thank you for the explanation, you explained it in the simplest way. Good work on the room. 👍
Very informative video. I feel confident I can do parts of my house. I'm hoping you have a video install of a bathroom floor as well.
Hey! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video. I do have a video on ceramic tile install. What type of floor are you planning on doing in your bathroom?
Very nice video. You didn't talk about it, but I'm pondering the differences between carpet tile and vinyl plank flooring. I have no experience with either, but it seems like they're both fairly simple to install and both would probably do a good job of withstanding wear and tear over the years. For home use, but in a high traffic area with cats or dogs. Do you have any thoughts?
Great job love the work you did I love hard wood but with dog they get beat up I’m open to change my floors this is one option good video thanks
Thanks!
Thank YOU!
The room is looking great! I wish I had the patience you have, though.
Jose Marques : You did a great job at doing and showing it on how to !
