Been remodeling for years now. I've always refused to take the time needed for a herringbone pattern install. Finally couldn't talk my way out of it to a customer. Turned to this video for advice and came out great. Takes much longer, but now I'm not afraid of it ha ha.
Lots of great tips that are well explained - most videos rush through everything and leave you with more questions than answers. I love your thorough approach and your positively. The bathroom is looking amazing too 😀
"The fact that this is going to work is crazy" Intense process and you got really lucky that the spacing worked out perfectly! As usual, beautiful finished product.
Jeff is so awesome. With my husband and I owning our own reno/remodel home improvement business his videos are so helpful. Thanks Jeff you are the man!!
That mirror & colour of the tile go together like peas & carrots👍🏻 Great job on the install; really nice when the size lines up perfectly when doing tile....especially a pattern like this. Luck, Nah, your THAT GOOD 😎 My Mom watched this w/ me, now she wants me to install something similar in her house (she’s very hard to impress; so great job).....hooray for me😅 Cheers✌🏼
Home RenoVision DIY I live in the north central climate zone. In the US in Kentucky. I have a brick home built in the 60s with asphalt board sheathing behind it. I’m doing a complete remodel and am about to start putting new insulation in. In the ext. walls what type do you recommend. And vapor barrier in my bathrooms behind the showers ?
Hi Matt, first you need vapor barrier on the exterior walls. it has nothing to do with the shower itself. Secondly the insulation that is most common and affordable is the fiberglass batt. simply but the same thickness batts as the wall studs will allow. EG 2x4 framing r12 2x6 framing r 20/. Cheers!
Love your channel! Some of your videos are similar and you cover the same stuff but it doesn’t seem to bother me.... I just keep clicking next. Where some people would skip the tedious work on video you just continue and explain as you go. Love it!
Hi Rebecca, for many people they need to hear the same message quite a few times before it sinks. in. Thanks you for your support and I hope these videos are helping you out. Cheers!
hey good night from gran Cayman I'm working her I'm from Jamaican I'm a tiller myself really like your style off work..thanks for your instructions its helps ...big up your self Jamaican style...
Nice job... unlike others commenting ... considering the cost of the tiles skipping those five tiles behind a mirror that NO ONE will ever see was a great cost cutting idea for people who watch this channel for renovation tips and tricks. Great job!!
Matt Barnard , the new owner sees it and we all see it. I also didn’t like his huge square hole for a 1/4 wide wire. Put a quick box on it and face plate. That’s an easy place for bugs to come in and out of. Between the missing tile, the offset tile by 2” and the hole, it doesn’t leave much for a mirror change.
It is beautifully done. I probably will never do anything like this now but we had eight kids and dyi all the time!!!!!!!! I want to tackle some kind of project however probably redoing a table in epoxy. I love your educational videos. I learned and am learning so very much thank you. I have granite counter near stove and the heat has cracked the stone and am trying to figure out how to repair it! that is how I came to find you on u tube lol
Honestly Bob I love the herringbone so much that I did my floor for by bathroom and linen closer area and created a twist to it by throwing in some whole tiles
This was a really great video! I learned a good bit, I love herringbone but man is it tedious sometimes lol those small pieces! 😩😩 But the result is gorgeous, fantastic job.
Hey Jeff, I'm loving this channel. I found it a few months ago, coincidentally right before I moved to a house that needed a fair bit of renos. I learned so much from your videos and was able to do lots of drywall work, painting, and some moderate plumbing and electrical work myself. If I had a suggestion for a video, it would be how to install a fiberglass tub and surround. There really isn't much on TH-cam about that. The videos I found are either too short and gloss over everything, they're poor quality, or it's just a guy talking while holding the camera and not showing any actual work. Nothing out there gave me the confidence to do the job myself. I know fiberglass surrounds aren't as sexy as tile surrounds, but they're still a practical option for many home owners. Your videos are full of details and tips that matter when DIY folks encounter problems taking on new projects. Thanks again!
OMG Jeff, we have so much in common... I too have a tape measure rubber hammer! It's an extremely versatile tool for bashing in any kind of doohickey 😉
Can I just say that your experience and knowledge never ceases to amaze me. Just love all your tricks!! Thanks for doing what you do here on the Tube!! 😁🙏🏼
Love the video, really helpful. Ive got a job coming up soon for a splashback/utility room. If i was to follow the same procedure and take the tile round a corner, would i just follow the tile around the meet the groutline on the adjacent wall? Then continue the pattern until i meet the edge trim?
I like this a lot! I wonder if there has been a study to show which way ismore cost efficient to make the mirror less foggy... The hair dryer, the heater, or "fuggetaboutit" method. Haha! Love your content! 😇😎
Love that tile and the finished look. Burning question was whether you had enough tile to have filled in the entire space?? Also my tidbit is that if your ceiling is textured, it may not be painted so do NOT get grout on the ceiling or the texture will wipe right off when you try to clean it up! Ask me how I know.
Awwwweee man! LOVE that you can get that heater and apply to whatever piece you choose! In one of the vids you said the paint came out looking too blue.... This tile job dragged it back into the grey and knocked out a lot of that blue... Yes, I saw it too... Hope you at least tried the second coat of paint to see...
Didn't like the tile at first when you showed us the layout but the full finish effect is quite nice. The live edge wood counter and stone sink makes the whole wall really pop.
You ask us to post to your latest video so here it is....thanks so much for the drywall videos...yes I am my best contractor....it turned out better than I could have possibly done without your instruction. I have a specific question finishing off the tiling in the shower...any chance your are around in the Ottawa area in the next or two...it is a Schulter install with a walk in shower....when is the next "live" show
Hi Jim, I actually live in Ottawa! If you need help the best way is to email us a pic at the member email. Then call me to discuss. The next live show is listed on the banner on the homepage for everyone to see. i believe it is the 17th at t:00 pm EST. Cheers!
Great job buddy, I'm a tile setter for 25 years and I never set a herringbone pattern, that really looks difficult, I set a bunch of pinwheel patterns but never a herringbone
That was actually not bad at all ... I think I will stash that away for when I build out my basement bathroom someday! Do you have a video on how you got the live counter in? I'd love to do something like that later .... after 10 minutes, I found it LOL.
I always set out on the floor first..doing all my cuts ...then transfer that to the wall. Works everytime and you don't have adhesive skinning up whilst you're faffing about with the smaller cuts. I also stopped using synthetic materials as they fail to hold some tiles...Porcelain, Travertine, etc.
I am going to attempt to install a backsplash in my kitchen of our new house after watching this channel for two years. I am going to use subway tiles. I have a tile cutter, type1 adhesive, 1/8" trowel and 1/8" spacers and light grey grout. I am unsure what to use for the one open edge. the big box store was no help. The height of the backsplash is 18". Any Advise is greatly appreciated. This is my first backsplash.
I did herringbone textured plank tile in my basement main floor. Some places I can tell the grout line is a little smaller than 1/8. Should I use sanded grout or unsanded? Which brand do you recommend as well? I did buy Tec Accucolor Sanded grout and some Tec boost but second guessing myself as this is the first time tiling and grouting. Thanks for all the help!
How do I do corners? I have this pattern. First time doing anything like it. Going around a corner though, plus the herringbone pattern has much smaller ones, and a lot of them, with weird corners. Thanks.
Love the content! Your tips through these videos have saved me numerous times! I save money, you make money from me watching. I like what's happening here lol
While watching the renovate a bathroom A to Z i see that you are using an edge guard at the edge of the tile that meets the painted wall, I'd like more info on the transition from tile to painted wall. should we buy a bull nose tile or are there other options to make it a profesional look? Love the channel and that you actually gave me a number to call if I really get stuck. Thanks in advance.
Hi Jeff, I’m running into a situation tiling my kitchen backsplash. I’m using a sheet tile in a herringbone pattern. Problem is where the tile is going to meet in corner the walls are out of plum got a 19in spacing between lowers and upper cabinets not sure how much it’s going to show in such a short space, would changing the direction of tile placement make it better? Also can’t decide what wall to start on, do I make the kitchen sink the start wall or the stove wall? Both are centered in a L shaped kitchen. If you have any tips tricks and or videos I would appreciate it. You are the Man!!!
Maybe I should have added a few more words to the question. The counter and the side walls is supporting the tile from sliding down. How well do they stick if you didn't have said side walls and countertop
Loved the video. Like I mentioned before, loving the whole look of the bathroom. I want to use mirror warming system as well but your link to Amazon doesn't seem to be working right. Please let me know. I want to make sure the sale goes through you so you get credit for the sale.

Amazing video and exactly what I needed! The tile is the same size as mine and this was by far the best tutorial! I learned so much
Thank you for all the tips and information in your videos! I especially like the tips for working alone! Love this tile!
Cheers Dionne!
I do thing a bit differently, I pret cut my first run. But this a great video. Much respect, I been professionally installing for 7 years.
Thanks again for the excellent education. I'm planning on doing a kitchen herringbone backsplash so I'll be re-visiting this video many times.
Ask any questions you have . Looking forward to helping with your situation. Cheers!

Always thoroughly explained for beginners like me. Thank you very much.... I love all of your videos!
Looks great - I’m going to check out that mirror heater
The thing works like a charm. As far a s I am concerned it is a must for any new renovation. Cheers!
Great way of teaching, specially for DIY guys, Thanks Man.
Absolutely love all of your videos probably one of the best teachers on earth and your voice is very soothing.
Mirror matches great with the tile!
Im planning on changing career and being a tiler, course booked! Loving your tiling videos!
Very hard job on yr body doing it every day

@@Bishmeister69 come back on 10 yrs and say that🤣

thanks for posting this! I am planning a floor with 6x24 tiles, I wanted to do a herringbone but wasn't sure how to start.
I like how you explained the options with the center line
Honestly Bob I love the herringbone so much that I did my floor for by bathroom and linen closer area and created a twist to it by throwing in some whole tiles

Great work and great info, the missing tiles are very weird to me as I can not imagine it saved more then $20-$30, but to each their own.
Only about 5 or 6 pieces short too. Makes sense saving a few bucks for the mirror
