    That was the easiest vinyl floor removal ever! I remember as a kid helping my parents remove them and almost ripping my nails off.

      If it was all glued down, I think I would try and patch the old floor instead of removing the old floor.

    2 questions: How long should i wait to lay tiles after the leveling cement is on??....and how long to wait after the floor primer goes down?.....I am a painter, and this is the first thing I thought of. I know thats a factor in the tiles adhering proplery...thanks , and a great video.

    So if the sub flooring isnt smooth im guessing u would sand it if its a wood sub flooring right? When tile is the sub floor do u recommend a wipe and mop also before installation?

      The company that did my kitchen said you can do a tiny bead of clear silicone around the edges. Water can get between the cracks too unless you do the grout and seal option

    You can invest in a J roller. They are small and not expensive. You can just lean on it to apply pressure and roll over each tile as you put them down.

      Very true but that’s a can of worms I wished I never opened. My friend who’s a floor contractor told me to do the shoe board - much easier, but I wanted a more flowing look. Well it does look better but it’s way more work. Removing the baseboard is a hassle then putting it back is another Headache. I did that only in one room and on the next one I just took my friends advice and used the quarter round and at the end the damn difference was minimal 😐

    awesome video! when you acclimate your flooring MAKE SURE IT IS UNWRAPPED. if you just chuck the box in there is won't do anything and you'll floors could buckle or shrink and you wasted all the time and money.

      Thank you Andrew! I was wondering about the acclimation part, as the video did not specify unwrapping and I was wondering how it could help to just toss the box in the room. I didn't even know about "acclimating" at all. Great tips here.

    Why wouldn’t you just fill in any holes and do minor repairs to get ready for installation, instead of the nightmare of removing the vinyl or linoleum floor and any glue? Then scraping, then belt sanding, then leveling....then a flooring primer. I guess it sells a lot of unnecessary Lowe’s products. NO ONE does this in a DIY situation.

    People come here to bash vinyl. It's nice for what it is. Sure tile will last 100 years, my grandparents moved bought a new house in the early-mid 70s. The 4in square blue tile bathroom with blue cast iron tub, blue sink and blue toilet looks absolutely new! I mean perfect! Tile will last, no doubt. Probably will get outdated. I'm remodeling a whole house now. I've had 3 back surgeries and tile hurts my back so I'm not even going that route. Today's vinyl is way better than just 15 years ago. Just high as hell.

    • @heartmomma6460
      @heartmomma6460 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      3 back surgeries for me too. I'm taking the easy route. I figure it's removable and resell on Craigslist if it looks tacky. If I lose $100 then I'm ok with that. But figure it's at least worth the try as a woman trying to do on her own handyman work since the so called real handy'man' has his butt stuck to his recliner. Which leaves me to do the work if i want something easy, inexpensive and quick.

      I'd recommend a piece of cardboard. Cut it the size of the tile, then lay it over the vent, and cut out the hole. Then transfer that over to the tile and cut it similarly. The metal grate will cover the edges anyway.

      I wondered about this as well. If you find the center in the room, lay out your tiles, and then see you will have odd sized pieces at either that look unattractive, you have to move the center starting line anyway so what was the point? I think you should just lay it out till it looks pleasing to you and then start.

      Really ?
      So if we’re to lay another floor after this one would you add another shoe mound or remove

    Luxury Vinyl Tile? What an ironic choice of words.

    This is not luxury vinyl tile. LVT has multiple layers including the padding and it’s click and lock like laminate, except it’s waterproof.

    Better to remove baseboards. 1/4 rounds are ugly.

    Shoe molding. UGH! Terrible idea.

    That looks like a total stoner job. Before I start I will eat a magic brownie.

    1. I was disappointed that he said "go ahead and" only about 50 times. I was hoping he'd go ahead and use that phrase at least a hundred times to make it that much more annoying.
    2. I will avoid putting real grout down. Sounds like a setup for a world of hurt and hassle down the line cleaning that stuff, esp. if it's light colored. I'll consider fake grout-line tiles instead.
    3. I'm concerned about the slight gap left by the thickness of an oscillating tool blade when cutting out the bottom of door trim (utility closet in a kitchen, for example). In other words, if you're using the thickness of the tile as a gauge to lay the blade on top of, the tool will cut that gap _plus_ the thickness of the blade. And you're just a dog chasing its tail when you start trying to fill in gaps like that with some sort of goop. I'm considering making a gauge of some material that is the thickness of the tile _less_ the thickness of the blade, to try to achieve an _exact_ fit.
    4. My dilemma is deciding whether to undercut an _existing_ shoe mold (painted a _perfect_ tasteful color of yellow along with the walls years ago), or remove it and re-install it, because removing and re-installing it will necessitate a huge amount of cleanup detail work to restore the whole affair to its original neat appearance. Would likely have to repaint the whole kitchen to make everything match again.
    5. In my case, I think I can get away with installing new peel-and-stick vinyl over the existing linoleum floor (which itself is in really good shape and is flat - just outdated and ugly), as my floor is ALL glued down.
    6. If there's any way that I can avoid taking up an existing floor surface that is completely glued down, and then having to remove all that glue residue and flatten out and smooth the underlying floor, then that's the way I'll go. That's something else you may want to give some thought to.

    There is no such thing as Luxury Vinyl.....
    There is overpriced vinyl.
    its like when they said "Genuine Naugahyde" in the 1970's. Nothing genuine about it... It was vinyl upholstery, which is plastic.

    • @fhuber7507
      @fhuber7507 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'd rather have the $68 cent a sq ft REAL ceramic tiles... Costs more to install than what the tiles cost, but they'll last 300 years.
      ANY vinyl looks like crap in less than 10 years.

    • @CatherineSTodd

      FHuber, what is "$68 cent a sq ft tiles..." ??? Cant quite figure out the $ amount here. 68 cents or $68 dollar per square foot?

      cents. tiles are almost the same price as the vinyl. Vinyl is just easier to install.

      Cyndi Harris LVT is a floating floor that needs room for expansion which is usually at least a 1/4”...unless the homeowners want to pay to replace baseboard there is no other option.
