    @nickbelletti ปีที่แล้ว +31

    Putting underlayment under lvp with a padding attached is not a good idea. The squishy nature of it can break joints. If you have to bring something up to level use thin plywood glued and screwed. Also dont use mdf in subfloor repairs, even with plastic under that piece moisture can wick from surrounding boards in the summer and swell mdf up and ruin all the work to get it flat. Glue and screw plywood and forget the plastic. Very thorough prep though, good job!

    • @LutherBuilds

      I used a thin dense foam underlayment under my lvp and in less than 2 years, almost all the joints are failing. I now have to redo all 700 sq ft of the space. I'm assuming if I do my best to level the subfloor then glue and screw 1/4" plywood down, the lvp will do much better.

    • @stevehamman4465
      @stevehamman4465 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Emily, if your LVP comes with a backing , NO you do NOT use an underlayment! The backing and underlayment act as moisture barriers. You do not put a moisture barrier on top of a moisture barrier or it will actually trap the moisture and cause mold and rot! Best example I can think of is insulation in your walls. Theres only paper on one side and it goes on the inside of the house to allow moister to evaporate on the outside part of the wall towards the outside of the house. Does that make any sense??

  • @laurendao4467
    @laurendao4467 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I’ve heard two different philosophies on the direction any flooring should go. One is to be directly coming out of the front door and the other is to go out from windows. According to both of these, your flooring should go the opposite way you’re planning to lay them (based on the direction you laid the underlayment). It was interesting to see this process. I have a big dip in the foundation where some LVP was put in by the previous homeowner. I don’t know if they did it themselves, but every time I walk over it, I can’t believe they didn’t do anything to level the base.

  • @mikemorris5503
    @mikemorris5503 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Depending on how thick or thin your LVP is, that padding could make the LVP sink down and shift causing the seams to wear out over time. I used a thin plastic vapor barrier underneath my LVP for those reasons. I’ve been in a house that has used a thick padding underneath, and with every step you could feel the floor sink in a little. But if your LVP is thick and wide, you should be okay.

    You have to know exactly what LVP flooring you're going with before installing that underlayment. Some of the LVP flooring will already have an attached pad and will actually void your warranty if you add an additional layer because it will make the floor too bouncy and the joints will eventually disconnect from each other.

    Looks like it is being assumed that none of the dips in the floor have to do with failing support structures underneath the subfloor.

    why did you choose to use a ruler instead of a level?

      Because he wasn’t checking for level he was just using a straight edge for gaps

    The black adhesive was hot with asbestos and you’re over there without a mask?!?! I hope you had black mastic adhesive tested for asbestos…

    Ok, would it have been easier to just put in a new subfloor? Not sure how much that would've cost.

    Looking forward to the flooring. It'll probably be the biggest change yet.
    But Mike, listen.... you really need to change the drawer/cabinet faces on that one oddball cabinet. It sticks out like a sore thumb and makes it look cheap. You can order custom made doors online and they're not too terribly priced. I altered a cabinet in my house an it was cheaper/easier to have a new door made for it. Frankly, it's the best quality door in the whole kitchen (but matches).
    This would set off my alarm bells if I was looking at the house to buy. If I see that, I'm going to start looking hard at other things.

    You do know that vinyl tiles, cushioned vinyl tiles and adhesives... all may well contain asbestos, right?

    I guess woodworking/home reno stuff is no longer Mike's top interest. He's been making something cool and new every week but this income property series seems to go very slow. We all miss when he was so enthusiastic about making stuff so we all waited for his next videos. However, I don't blame you. I hope your new priority is also making you stoked.

    Hot take coming in: I wish that you would have kept the original hardwood. I understand that this will be a rental and LVP may be better.

      He already stated in the first video that it was moldy and nasty from animal piss, he could have spent thousands and then figured out the floors aren't salvageable. Personally I'd have replaced with hardwoods if it was my place but rental or Airbnb is definitely getting the LVP!
