Thank you sir that was real nice
Just found this while surfing. Love your expertise and concern for the accuracy of each step. That's what a professional does. Be proud of your hard work. You deserve it. Thanks for sharing.
Patricia Bockenstette Thank you ma’am
Love commercial grade LVT. In my rentals I glue to stuff on stairwell walls 4' high as a wainscot capped with metal bead - no more repairs in an area that gets most heavily damaged. Cut a perfect circle (hole saw) and glue to wall as color-matched door knob protector. Use as wainscot walls around toilets or back of kids' closets - anywhere that gets impact or water. Use as floor inside sink base cabinets, even as kitchen backsplash or garden window floor. Tenants love the look and I love the price.
Those are some good ideas
I was impressed on the detail you used, I guess that's why the finished product looks so good. Bravo Sir! Thanks for explaining every step and why you did what you did. Stay safe!
Patriot Acres in Texas I hope it helped you, thank you
You have got to be the most thorough floor guy I have observed. Impressive.
Scott Rogers Thank you sir
Put factory edge on bottom of riser and factory at the back of the thread!!
I am such a geek .... you are an Academy Award Wining Installer. That was absolutely engaging video. Thank you so very much for sharing your mastery. You must be very proud, or should I say, you need to be very proud. 🇨🇦👏🏽🇨🇦👍🏼
Brenda Swann Thank you so much for the kind comments
Incredible workmanship- I can sympathize with having to go up and down the stairs all day and working on your knees like that. Awesome job- looks terrific!
Tom Villano thank you sir
Great job, you do some awesome work. I’ve learned a lot. I’ve been in construction all my life I do everything my self, I’m 56 and your always learning.
Patrick Landis Thank you sir
This is the best video on this matter available online
chirino27 thank you sir
Like so many have, I want to thank you for sharing your Craftsmanship with us. Many products and technics are done by professionals diferantly in differant areas . some of which I dont know why I cant change the world and make everyone do things my way and there are more than one way to do a job. I think your product , installation , choice of stair nose is just fine. Like you said no complaints awsome!
Jeff Y yeah, thank you search for that, it turns out that the customer just sent us a text message three days ago telling us how much they are loving their floors and they very much appreciate everything that me and my wife did on that job, that was kind of ironic because it just came out of the blue , And I have had a lot of people say that on this particular video about the stair nosing and things so it was good to hear from the customer over a year later
@@FloorsbySouthernboys Yep people can beat up any product. Truth is I dont see a lot of vinyl as a lot of people are snobish towards it. They love real wood and put it all the wet places too. Im looking at buying a house for investment and doing the LVP I only hit your vid out of luck(first one Ive viewed on this topic. Im subscribing . May 2020 be a great year for you!
Jeff Y
Thank you sir I appreciate that and I hope you enjoyed the video
well, I have just learned that if I want a good job, this is NOT a DIY project. I best hire a pro to install this on my steps. Thank you for your professional insight. Great job!!
Limerick Limejuice Thank you and you’re welcome
Loved every minute. Thank you for taking time out of your week even though you are so busy
to share all this useful information with us.
The floors look absolutely beautiful.
Gold Coast Flooring | Carpet & Tile Care Thank you and it’s my pleasure
Gold Coast Flooring | Carpet & Tile Care It was 1 o’clock in the morning when I did my final walk-through with the camera of finishing up of the steps, I had two nights on this job where I worked until after 1 o’clock in the morning, but I love it, I’m just weird like that
That's awesome, if you're weird I don't want to be normal.
Gold Coast Flooring | Carpet & Tile Care same Normal sucks, it is good to be different
You are a credit too installers all around the world! Top notch work!
uCuckingFunts ! That was awesome, thank you
I’m inspired by your videos I might try my own project
Thank you buddy
you have helped more than you will know. Our floor guy had a massive heart attack and were figuring this out ourself.
Boogie Maam Sorry to hear that about him, good luck finishing up the rest of your project I hope it turns out wonderful for you
Great looking job. I own a flooring business now going on 35 years and the work you did looks great. The only issue I have is the stair nose color seems to be off from the LVP. Usually the floor manufacturer makes nosing to match. Overall it's a great looking job 👍
Donald Cotnoir Thank you sir, for this particular brand of Flooring they did not make a transition so the transitions had to be ordered from another company, that’s why is it not A perfect match, manufactures should always make all of the trim pieces Their self so they can get a good match
@@FloorsbySouthernboys I have had the same issue. It's frustrating. I wasn't being critical either just curious. When you do something that long you pick up on that stuff
Donald Cotnoir Sure, absolutely, I have a tendency to catch stuff like that myself
Hello FBSB I'm new subscriber to your YT channel Great videos I have to tell you That we are equal I say that with alot of RESPECT im a flooring installer myself Flooring installers were once called Professional Flooring Mechanic you dont hear that these days but that was along time ago I followed my fathers footsteps at the young age of 12 years old i grew up picking up scraps while watching and learning from my dad and my uncles /cousins in the mid 1970's I was 6/7 years old at that time install residential/commercial carpets along with vinyl and some tile work more vct tile than ceramic tile i was always asking questions and learning hands on all at the same time so I have alot of great pride and history and RESPECT for our trade I'm always learning always evolving always changing with the times So now in todays time so many different product/material to learn about so its good to keep learning So the only difference is I don't do install videos like you do so i give you that It's nice to see what goes into floor installation of any kind of product/material I wish you continued success on these videos you do I really like that you detail everything that goes into any job I recommend any Flooring installer a new guy or gal or veteran to watch you work videos without negative attitude and judgement Keep up the great work I live and work in Albuquerque New Mexico so working out here year around weather wise is good similar to Phoenix California Las Vegas my only Qestion is What state do you work in..... Happy Holidays
Hello FBSB this is the video i commentted on earlier this morning
Tucson! Last I checked it was still in Arizona!
Very impressive craftsmanship. Thank you for showing all the techniques and approaches you used to make an excellent instal. Great work and tutorial for us!
Ryan Engler thank you
Most professional flooring video I've come across. Excellent 👍🏼
Wow! I am definitely going to do this on my basement steps. So much nicer than carpet.
sylvia seri that’s awesome
Wow, great instruction. Really excellent video. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Bravo
UCUCKINGFUNTS ! Thank you sir
I'm building my house right now and I will be finishing my stairs just like this... thanks for the tutorial! new subscriber
Made In Texas Awesome, congratulations and good luck on your build
It's real easy to scribe them, and they fit great!!!
Fred Towns 👍
Okay, I'll just pay for a round trip ticket for you to come to my property and do BOTH sets of stairs in my home! Of course, I'd pay your labor cost and other "fair" expenses (lodging, meals, etc)! ;-D
That's how much I appreciate folks like you that truly KNOW your craft/trade! OMG, THOSE STAIRS ARE BEAUTIFUL...thanks for sharing and keeping it real! :-)
Lollie Wink 😮Thank you, that was really nice, and I’m really glad that you enjoyed the video
Good video work here. I like the music and that panoramic scene with the sun on the deck was great too. Good stuff. Thanks for the content!!!
Thank you and you’re welcome
Great Explanations and really apreciate your attention to detail.
Thank you for sharing this detail s
Great video. We're thinking of doing this on our stairs and this video is so informative and well done. Great job!
Thank you
Nicely done.
Thank you
Looks great my man
Thank you
Amazing work. I have some rigid spc vinyl planks to use as tread and another rigid vinyl to use as risers. I'm scared that under my carpeted stair would probably be the same chip board. If so, is underlayment a must or can I still do without it? Seems like a double work load if I had to do underlayment.
Yours is probably a clip together plank so you will not need to use underlayment, mine was a glue down product so therefore the surface had to be really slick because the product was thin. Simply clean your steps up really good and you will be fine if it is and click together product
Thank you for your video. I did the same job in our house (but with laminate panels) a few days ago. But I preferred alu nosing with screws (hidden screw type), however I fixed all panels with glue too. Greetings from Hungary!
Jász András awesome,great job, thank you
I have a rigid core click together vinyl plank that has a foam backing. I bought flush mount stair nose from the same company. It doesn't have a foam backing. It clicks into the planks. Should I remove the foam from the planks or just leave it? Seems to peel off easy. Worried it'll stay stuck to the step and plank will come off. Or am I just over thinking this. Was gonna go with PL Max as the adhesive for all of it.
Great job and looks good. Gave me a idea about what I can do with the stairs I have going to my basement. Thanks
James B 👍
Thank you for making this video, this was extremely helpful!
slowcheetah24 Well I’m glad it was helpful for you and thank you for watching
Thank you for this video and sharing your knowledge with us! This is the cleanest and best LVP stair flooring I've found!
Jared Wins Awesome, thank you and I am glad that you enjoyed it
Very informative and i appreciate you explaining everything as you go along and the reasons why for things.
Thank you very much
Great craftsmanship.
Ping Pong thank you sir
Great video, excellent explanation of all the critical details
Chris B Thank you sir
Definitely the work of a pro
NzRasengan thank you
Thank you for this! Just what I needed
Black Diamond Shuttle Awesome I hope it helps
Thank you so much. Great explanations.
Carolyn Thank you for your feedback and I’m really glad that it helped you
FloorsbySouthernboys, I’ve used the peel and stick vinyl planks on my floors and I’m going to try it on my stairwells now.
Carolyn Well good luck, I hope it turns out beautiful for you
looks amazing
Looks beautiful. Great job. A lot of stairs. You must have been exhausted.
sabrina fare Thank you, yeah this was a pretty tiring job, we did the complete rest of the house as well with underlayment and LVP
Great Video, looks great and a lot of nice tips along the way!!
I would've just carpeted it. It's cheap and easy to remove later and replace. Good luck to the folks in the future trying to remove all this LVP from the stairs after its all worn and scuffed.
Well done.
Hope you got paid good for these steps!! Very time sensative!!!
Fred Towns Yes sir there was definitely time consuming, I did this whole house in six days, it was a nice paying job
Great work, your attention to detail is excellent!
Josh Plemon Thank you sir
@@FloorsbySouthernboys the hi n no
Lauren Mays ?
im sure you already know this, but that is pressure sensitive adhesive, which means that it only holds when pressure is applied, such as the pressure of gravity. If use on the risers you should be securing with another glue or using the wetset method.
✌️
Holy moley with the staples brother lol with the underlayment you can just staple around the outside. And you can run around it quick with just a hand stapler
Dude! You’re awesome
Did you make the white, wall side, stringer? I was hoping you had a good scribing trick, to make those. I have a job where there is no side stringer, but want to make one.
I love your attention to detail. Great craftsmanship. Question about the aluminum. Recently I had to move an appliance and the appliance dolly is a little hard on the stair edges. Is there a concern with the aluminum bending or getting damaged or misshapen If something runs over it or it gets hit? And if so, how easy is it to pry that blue off into the new piece on?
B. Wolfe Thank you sir, as long as you’re on the top of the step the transition piece is completely flat on top so I would not think that it would bend or dent The only part that would possibly get damaged that I would think would be the front because it has that little curve to it , And as far as taking one off and replacing it I have never attempted it but I am sure that the glue holds pretty good in order to hold up to daily wear and tear
FloorsbySouthernboys thanks
B. Wolfe Anytime
Wow!! That looks Amazing!! Great work my friend!!
Todd Abrams Thank you Todd
Can you tell what this stairnose is and where you buy it? Thank you!!
Awesome, thank you. Have you ever done stairs using loose lay luxury vinyl tile planks? If so, would the process be any different than this? I'm doing our main floor in a dark shade of loose lay vinyl tile, (similar to this look) and thinking of doing the landing at the bottom of the stairs, in the basement, with the same product, but a light colour instead. There are 13 stairs in between. Trying to figure out the best way to do the stairs, from a design standpoint. Was thinking of doing the stair tops in the dark planks with matching nosing, and the risers in the light coloured plank. What are your thoughts on that?
Elisabeth Drachenberg I think that would be beautiful, I’m actually done quite a few sets of steps where they just have a plain white riser and word or vinyl plank on the treads, so I think a color contrast would be beautiful, and as long as there is not a pad on the back of the plank that you’re putting down on your steps I would glue them to the steps, you would not have to do the extent of prep as I did in this video because you’re going to be dealing with a thicker More solid product than I was, this was a thin blue down, if you’re done a loosely click together I assume you won’t have to do near the prep
Amazing work.
Tangela Jackson Thank you
Helpful tips
Ozzstar's Cars Thank you sir
This video has been very helpful! Only part thats missing is doing the side trim where there is no wall, is there a seperate video for that?
Unfortunately not
Better than i would do on my own steps, loved it :)
Shaun Hughes Engraving 😀👍
Awesome!!!!
Keith Koch Thank you sir I hope it was useful for you
Sir, I enjoyed every minute of your video. Thank you for sharing your gifts. I do have a question, when you're using the VPF on the stairs, could you do a white riser opposed to the VPF riser? Would you still use the same aluminum cap? Thank you.
Yes, but there are other options
Great job
Barbara Phillips Thank you
Nicely done!
Shame on VPF companies for NOT creating an edge on the stair/bullnose treads that will CONNECT seamlessly to more flooring. I’d rather do a straight cut on the bullnose tread to remove the connecting lip if it got in the way of the riser....than have to have any kind of gap, lip, transition.
Mind boggling that the wheel has to be reinvented here...
Janet Meyer yup
Question for you, is this a suitable material to install over a tile that's been glued to the steps and you can't get off? It's most likely an asbestos tile since the house was built in the 60's.
Yes it will work, prime before you glue
Arguably about 30 min too long, but I got what I needed by skimming through, thanks
Before marking the underlayment, use masking tape where your cut lines will be prior to marking. Mirror the masking tape on the reverse. This can help reduce chip out and cleanup time on the material after cutting. Simply peel the tape, lightly sand with a sanding block, and move on with much less surface damage on the edges.
Legend has it 5 year later and ole boy is still at these steps
VERY nice! 👊🏽
Wendi Yee thank you ma’am
Beautiful job sir very knowledgeable thanks
Khan Jamshaid Thank you, I appreciate your watching and definitely your feedback
I would like to know the brand and color of flooring and where I can find the stair nosing. I love the look!
It has been a long time ago that I done but I believe it was Novalis Flooring
@@FloorsbySouthernboys thank you for the quick response
@@tammyprewitt271 👍
i just got done with set of these. they are very time consuming with cutting the bullnose off the existing steps, underlayment, fitting planks and bullnoses, glueing and finishing. you think im way off charging 100 per step? i wish they made a 9 inch plank for this. in my own home i think id rather have solid oak tread and rises, i would think there comparable in price since the bullnoses are like 60 a piece and only come in 8 foot
You should actually be charging more, my bottom is $125 and it goes up from there with any extras
Where did you purchase the bullnoses?
@@pearlperlitavenegas2023 I didn't purchase the bullnose, I just installed them for the retailer I work for. Most carpet retailers will have what your looking for and then there's Lowes or home Depot. Hope you find what your looking for
Excellent work and video. But man your sounding pretty heavy lunged my friend, sounded like me when I had the Corona the 1st time.
Excellent video! Just curious, what adhesive would you use on stairs for a click ridgid core LVP with an attached 1mm IXPE backing (it's MSI's Everlife line)? Thanks!
Awesome video! Such attention to detail and very clear steps. I recently had some Allure TrafficMASTER vinyl flooring installed. I'm planning to install the remaining planks on a set of steps to a basement. The steps are wooden with a 1 inch lip so I'm curious how you would handle the aluminum nosing installation?
Jason M. Konigsbauer I would build out the risers of the step so that there was no bull nose on the steps then treat them just like I did in this video, a quarter inch plywood as a three-quarter inch plywood should bring your riser out perfectly flush with your bull nose
@@FloorsbySouthernboys Great suggestion...thanks so much!
Could you glue down a click together LVP on stairs?
Yes
Would you recommend an underlayment for the glue down click together vinyl?
No
Does anyone know if vinyl plank (click lock) with attached padding can be glued to stairs? Thanks.
yes it can
Wow! Fantastic work! I'm looking forward to doing this to my stairs this weekend!
thank you , good luck on your project
Yes nice work! A few questions: Do you buy all your product locally or online? Do they sell you both the plank & stair nose? What kind of material did he use for the trim? And lastly, do you caulk any of your seams between the flooring & trim or stair nose?
Matt Walker I buy all my materials local, the plank and stair nosing was ordered at the same time and he used a regular corner piece that you can get from Lowe’s or Home Depot to trim out the edges and no I do not cock any seams in the flooring or between the trim
Must own stock in the nail mfg company.
Stephen Lacher 😂🤣lol
40 staples per step, there must be another way of doing this? It's too thin to use screws? Sand the OSB and then glue to it? Nails and glue? Expanding glue and less staples?
Very impressive. Great job and keep it up.
Memek Junior Thank you
This guy did an awesome job. On a personal note, I’d be scared of those stairs with no rails.
This is a GREAT Video...
Question: I couldn't find where you said what Name of
Vinyl Flooring you used... it looks really nice and thin.
Judi Christopher it is Novalis and it’s made by Shaw that spelling may not be correct on the Novalis
This js the reason why they charge a lot for installing lvp on stairs. Quite a work for every step.
thats true
How much do you get per step?
We have those vinyl planks in our kitchen going on ten years now. They look almost as good as the day they were installed but I have a hard time believing that the finish on that aluminum will be scratch free after ten months without tender loving care. No shoes allowed! I was expecting to see a brown vinyl or rubber nosing strip.
L.A. rabbyt Thank you for sharing that
are u using snap planking or is it just some sort of regular planking that doesnt snap together?
am tired only for hear you good job
😀👍thank you
Nosings: I would THINK that those nosings wouldn't look good for long and that they would scratch and wear down to the shiny aluminum on the top. I mention this because I'm making this decision right now. I would THINK it would be better to just start out with the shiny aluminum ones so when they get scratched and wear and the finish wears off, it would still look like new or at least be a LOT less noticeable. I have some in my house that have been there since the house was new, the screw-down type, and they still look like new. I am interested in the experiences people have had over time with nosings.
PS: The plus side of aluminum moldings verses wrapping the edge is you are far less likely to slip, and you don't need the traction strips change color from embedded dirt.
LVP: I've never seen LVP that flexible What kind is that, and how good is the wear layer and thickness? Our stairs takes a beating. LOL!
. Thank you .beautiful
JON Gergeceff your welcome, thank you
I’ve been watching and enjoying your you tubes since last March. I’m wondering if you are Ruben Potter because I’m pretty sure I know you. This is Brother Flint Take in Alaska anyway your channel is excellent.
Yes are, this is me bless you buddy and thank you
Yes sir, I mean
FloorsbySouthernboys that’s great I just had to ask because every time I watch I can’t help but think it was you. Wonderful looks like all is going well. I’ve pick up some nice tips. God bless you all.
@@flinttake3707 God bless you buddy, hope life is good for you guys
Nice!
😀 Thank you sir
How long does it take before the wood finish starts wearing off of the aluminum stair nose?
John Storton I have done several stair cases like this over the past few years and I haven’t heard any complaints yet
The vinyl skin on them is fairly stout. Same thing as the floor really, a veneer skin fastened to core. A bad scratch is rare and can happen, that'd be only thing to worry about. Just don't moon walk the steps in leveler spikes.
Great Job !!! You did great work !!! But the home owner who choose this type of floor is like choosing a 4" bathroom faucet for there own home. Most home owner don't have 4" rough faucet unless it's a rental.
Tommy Jones This was just a getaway house, But thank you I appreciate that
Thanks for this video, very detailed. Where did you get the color matched aluminum nosing?
