The flooring from today’s video is simply-surfaces.com in European Grey Oak. I was an early product tester of Simply Surfaces LVP flooring. Since I installed it last year they have decided to launch a 9 inch plank version which is more consistent with the demand they see from customers. I am really happy with the final result, it's a Jeff approved product. Find it at simply-surfaces.com Cheers!
I’m having so much trouble installing my vinyl flooring. Seems like my walls aren’t squared and they just keep opening along the installation every row opens when I love tap it. With the spacers in place.
This is exponentially more educational than all the other flooring videos out there! This is more like an apprentorship course packed into a single video! GLORIOUS!!!
WOW. I can see “you’re THE man!” Yep. My house needs a lot of help. My hubby was awesome at DIY just like you. Since he passed, so many things are starting to go in the house. I just finished watching your bath/shower resurfacing video and I have been thinking about how I would do that if I could. The next thing was going to be vinyl playing flooring! Hallelujah! I found you just in time. 😂
Thank you!! Your charisma is second to none!! Enjoyed hearing you teach and laugh at the process!! Instead of cussing you showed honesty and compassion for oneself, that will resonate with your viewers and draw them in to relax and give it a go!! I’m ready to tackle my floor now 😊 God abundantly bless you in the name of Christ Jesus.
I had planned on putting transitions between the vinyl plank flooring in the living room, bedroom, and dining room but watching your tips has given me the confidence to install without the transitions. Thank you.
From an appliance installers perspective, if at all possible, do the flooring under the dishwasher not to the dishwasher. If you don’t, sometimes the flooring will get caught on the feet of the dishwasher at time of removal when replacing dishwashers I’ve installed dishwashers for seven years and I always recommend the floor under the dishwasher and all of the Appliances.
I love it. Using a circular saw to carve. That shows me your true pro. I've been doing that for years and learned it almost 50 years ago. Love it. A master of your tools.
I owe you an update. Yes, I had trouble installing the planked flooring back in September, and had to stop because of my needs for the space at the time. I did the leveler and let cure while I was gone. I got at it again and all worked out. The 1/8 to 1/4 inch variation along the underlayment was amazingly, the problem. The edges would not lock. All good now. Happy.
Really like your videos, and they're very informative. You mentioned warranty and it's not always the fault of the installers. We purchased a new home and within 6 months, the floor failed. A professional flooring company installed this floor. After they contacted the manufacturer and a representative came out. It was discovered there was a problem at the manufacturer. So the manufacturer replaced the entire house under warranty...
This has came at just at the right time! I will be tearing out my carpets and putting down vinyl plank flooring before to long. I was feeling really intimidated, but now, even though I am still intimidated, I feel it is now possible. I ordered samples of the flooring too... this has been better than all the other videos I have watched! Thank you!👏
I'm doing this in my soon to be Home Theater, and dang it all if I wasn't super-nervous until I watched this. By the end you've gone through the motions so many times that you're chuckin' tools left and right. It's those first three rows and every single gap that I have to be worried about. Thanks Man!! In fact I've ordered a sample set from these guys.
Hi, thanks the for videos. Do you need an underlay for this flooring? I remember in your previous videos you mentioned that all flooring should get underlayment even if it claims that it needs no underlayment. Thanks
The earlier laminates were " water resistant ". If that is what was installed, as what was put in our home by the builder, you'll have those water issues. Technology has evolved and now there's waterproof. However, a floor's only as good as its installation! Thanks, Jeff for all of the great instruction on installing a solid floor!
I picked up one of those bulky tapping blocks with a handle and that thing completely revolutionized my experience installing my vinyl plank. It let me get even pressure and tap ends without a mallet so I could use the other hand to keep things steady. Also, I found a doorstop that you can put on your top hinge in like two minutes that works as a temporary solution or one that I ended up keeping because it's less noticeable than a stick coming out of your baseboard.
Love your videos! I’ve remodeled 2 of my own homes now just by following your videos and you’ve saved and made me a lot of money! Thank you so much keep it up!!
Weve done an entire series on this mobile home :) heres a shower we did in the same place. Cheers! th-cam.com/video/4gygX937LaU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZBl3O774yfdcpRHq
First time home buyer here, and so thankful you made this video. I will be installing myself because you broke it down so easily. All the companies and people make it seem "too hard" to do on your own.
Klein makes an excellent pair of knee pads. Available at Lowe’s currently. They get worn everyday and are the best I’ve owned. As a heavy set hvac installer, they get used and abused. Try em out.
Wow nice job doing all those rooms without transitions! . But it wouldn't be HomeRenoVision without one of those "Hey kids - don't try this at home" moments 😀 1:06:30. Even I have a belt sander for such things
Love your videos. Doing a complete rebuild, and am wondering if you would wrap the flooring around an island or place the island on top of the flooring. The sink is going to be in the island. Thanks
Looking into installing vinyl tiles soon so this video came out at a great time! In a video a couple of years ago, you mentioned you should use an underlayment on most floor types for 11 or so different reasons. What was the reason you didn't use one in this home? Cost, floor type, manufacture warranty limitation? I saw these boards have an underlayment on them already but have read that it can help with noise and other issues depending on subfloor type. Thanks for your videos!
Using the skill saw to level the floor: I never saw that coming :D It worked quick for sure ! For what it's worth and I get it, you don't want to run to the HomeD to get a cheap one I would have instinctively thought of using a hand planer.
Good to note if you live in the Southwest like me and have concrete for subfloor, instead of screwing down the first row of flooring what you can do is take the huge flooring boxes the planks come in and just set them on top of the first 3 rows. Should be heavy enough
I just watched your video on "Which Brand of Vinyl Is Best" and was wondering why you chose to not go with an under pad on the install ? I see that it has an under pad attached to the Planks here but wouldn't you need to still throw down an under pad along with the one attached to the planks ? Really enjoyed the video . Thank you .
Sorry to revisit the question but could you please confirm for me whether underlay pad is - or is not - required when I install the vinyl plank in the basement on top of a well constructed sub-floor (plywood etc) with padding already glued on. Your video about types of vinyl was direct and clear in stating that underlay must be installed, but are you now saying it’s not needed in some cases (your trailer when you don’t plan on it lasting long)? Overall you have a great video series Jeff and several have been quite instructional and inspiring for me - recently removed bathtub and wall tile based on your advice, and I used your tip to buy the Bagster for hauling away debris.
I knew you were in Floirda before u said it. I could see the little palm tree out the window, and said looks like one of my palms he must be in Florida! What part, we're by Disney! Great video!!!
awesome video thanks. I just installed vinyl flooring in an apartment and am wondering why you did not lay them from left to right. the joints are easier to lay ontop of each other and with a bit of a love tap with the hammer you close em up real easy. saves you lifting the whole row and clicking them in. 🙂
Always read the instructions included with any particular brand of vinyl plank or laminate flooring. Some manufacturers direct the installer to begin with the "tongue" side of the first row to go towards the wall, while others require the "groove" side to be oriented adjacent to the wall.
This is an excellent tutorial for those of us uninitiated. Thank you for taking the time to educate. Perhaps use a different camera in the future, as there are a few scenes that are out of focus?
Thanks for your amazing video. Just wanted to ask you if putting this flooring is not necessary to maintain a gap from the wall or use a spacers kit? Thanks once again
I just installed vinyl flooring (1’ x 2’) pieces in a 5 x 5 bathroom. The planking doesn’t interlock like regular flooring, all I had to do was lay the seams on top of each other push down tap on top with my rubber mallet and they locked together, no lifting to slide into the slot. So much easier to install especially around door openings.
Okay Jeff….I’ve been working on my bathroom- if you remember, I removed the texture with Joint compound, wasn’t happy with how it turned out, began again and everything (new paint peeled off like a horror movie). I’m on track now. Flooring has been removed. I’m priming my self leveler now, will self leveler later today. I had plans to go with a vinyl sheet flooring option however, we’re very limited here in California and the ones that I’ve seen seem awfully thin. So Home Depot has that lifetime vinyl plank flooring… And I believe I can do it. This is a very small space and want to know your thoughts between sizes available to me I can go 12” x 24” or 18” x 36”… which do you feel is better for a small space… And we’re talking really small 8’ x 3 1/2’ at most. Seems to me the less seems the better also the blank says it has an underlayment already. I’m watching your video now and I noticed you’re not putting anything on your subfloor- do I need anything with my concrete?
Unfortunately he is wrong on that statement. Vinyl floors do not need underlayment in any circumstance. Simply they're not intended to go over any kind of x-tra cushioning because they breaks apart on the joints due to the up-down movement. *Experienced installer advice here.
What do you guys think about vinyl pieces that after installed start to lift up? When you step on them you can feel the space in between them and the foundation?
These videos are great. I'm hoping to do a DIY flooring for my sunroom in Eastern PA... is there something I should be aware of when selecting a product that can handle heat/cold very well?
Curious. I was told to start in the middle of the room (find the middle point) and work outwards towards the wall. From your previous videos you always start on a wall. Is there much of a difference from having a starting point?
I like to start at the most important visual line there is on an outside wall.that way you avoid being crooked to the house and avoid finishing with slivers in important places. Cheers!
Hi, I’m looking to do my kitchen floor within the month, due to new cabinets being installed and would like to ask you a few questions. Should I remove linoleum off entire floor before installing? Should baseboard boards be removed? Finally, should I use any type of adhesive for the floor? I’m thinking from all the research that I have done, install should be the following: demolition, repair any damage to walls, paint, install cabinets, countertops, backsplash, floor then lighting. Is this correct.
Hey Jeff, I'm currently preparing to install in my new store and after pulling up some old carpet I found vinyl tiles. Under the vinyl tile I found black which I believe is an adhesive placed over the cement floor. Do you think I can install the flooring over that? Id hate to try and remove it all 😫
A few years ago in a video you mentioned that you should still put a under-pad but I didn’t see that in this video. Any advice if we should be adding it or not if it’s already on the vinyl?
I just bought this exact same floor. I asked this question since it is for the basement, directly on the concrete and told me to AVOID putting anything underneath it.
I have a small bedroom, on a second floor with carpet at the time. Would love to install plank flooring, would i need the leveling product on top plywood to make it more stable ?

BUmmer not available up her in the great white north. Currently shopping for LVP for my basement reno in Ontario.
Happy father’s Day Jeff ! Thanks for all the wisdom ! 🍻
Looks great! Thank you!
I’m having so much trouble installing my vinyl flooring. Seems like my walls aren’t squared and they just keep opening along the installation every row opens when I love tap it. With the spacers in place.
Do you still recommend the Abatec underlayment beneath this?
This is exponentially more educational than all the other flooring videos out there! This is more like an apprentorship course packed into a single video! GLORIOUS!!!

Its a sweaty hard job, difficult to do well.
I'm doing this in my soon to be Home Theater, and dang it all if I wasn't super-nervous until I watched this.

We did this in my daughter’s house. We did the whole main floor. This would have been good to see first, but all done, we did a great job!
Hi, thanks the for videos. Do you need an underlay for this flooring? I remember in your previous videos you mentioned that all flooring should get underlayment even if it claims that it needs no underlayment. Thanks
I am also curious about this as well. I've been telling my dad that we need to get underlayment because of his old video, now I don't know 🙃
These kind of planks have underlayment preinstalled on the backs
Brother, these videos are so much of a blessing!!
I can’t tell you enough: thank you🙏
Probably the BEST DIY flooring video for vinyl I’ve ever watched. Thanks!!
The earlier laminates were " water resistant ". If that is what was installed, as what was put in our home by the builder, you'll have those water issues. Technology has evolved and now there's waterproof. However, a floor's only as good as its installation! Thanks, Jeff for all of the great instruction on installing a solid floor!
Exactly. Dogs peed on rugs and got that junk. Stuff scratched easily too. I'll never ever put that trash down again.
Laminate bubbles and scratches... vinyl does not "bubble"
I picked up one of those bulky tapping blocks with a handle and that thing completely revolutionized my experience installing my vinyl plank. It let me get even pressure and tap ends without a mallet so I could use the other hand to keep things steady.

HOLY heart skipped a beat when he grabbed the scrap piece from the table saw while it was on. @6:04
Please do more videos on mobile homes! You explain everything so well. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents.
YES PLEASE!
I am following this gentleman for years. From Garden makeover/fencing to building garage as well as bathroom and kitchen makeovers. He is an ACE❤❤
Thanks for starting to upload videos on mobile homes as nowadays this is all some people can afford with today's house prices 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Do you need underlayment when installing Vinyl Flooring on concrete or wood subfloor?

Would you use Vinyl Plank on stairs? How would you cap the tread end?
Using the skill saw to level the floor: I never saw that coming :D
It worked quick for sure !
For what it's worth and I get it, you don't want to run to the HomeD to get a cheap one I would have instinctively thought of using a hand planer.
Very good timing. I want to lay my vinyl floor next week. Now I know a few more tricks. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Good to note if you live in the Southwest like me and have concrete for subfloor, instead of screwing down the first row of flooring what you can do is take the huge flooring boxes the planks come in and just set them on top of the first 3 rows. Should be heavy enough
You can also just place scraps of the flooring vertically against the wall to set the gap
Excellent step by step. I am building a van conversion camper
You can do it!
Thanks for giving me the confidence to do this job myself, your awesome my guy.

Glad to help
Jeff! Your videos are very informative. I’m doing a kitchen remodel in my home soon and deciding to put down LVP this has helped a ton!
awesome video thanks. I just installed vinyl flooring in an apartment and am wondering why you did not lay them from left to right. the joints are easier to lay ontop of each other and with a bit of a love tap with the hammer you close em up real easy. saves you lifting the whole row and clicking them in. 🙂
in my experience when you hammer them in 1 at a time you often damage the end of the boards and it becomes visible down the road.
Here after watching grout videos. Is there one on refreshing grout? Just a touchup of new over old. I searched the channel but did not find one.
The best instructional video I've seen on TH-cam...well done!
Do you need expansion gaps around the perimeter of the vinyl plank flooring?
Pretty sure you do, if you don’t it could buckle. Source googling stuff
48:30 explains it
A previous video I saw from you said you had to put an underlayment under vinyl flooring. Why aren’t you using it?
Thanks for your helpful videos!
This video is amazing! You explain everything so well.
What knife are you using to slice?
Can i install kitchen cabinets over this type of flooring. Muchos Gracias
Amazing job and always such a great teacher!~ Is there a reason that you didn't use barrier material?

For difficult cuts around door jambs, I make a cardboard template that I can snip with scissors. Time-consuming, but you can get a really nice fit.
How do you do the temp screw trick on a concert floor? I had water damage in my basement and I am thinking abut replacing the carpet with LVP.
Hammer drill an tapcon screw
How would you do it if it was a concrete floor. Wood you screw onto cement or ....?
Just put spacers...
Great video!! Especially for 2 people that have never did this! I feel like I am ready to begin!!!
Question: Is underlayment not needed on plywood? What about laying it over ceramic tile?
Okay Jeff….I’ve been working on my bathroom- if you remember, I removed the texture with Joint compound, wasn’t happy with how it turned out, began again and everything (new paint peeled off like a horror movie). I’m on track now. Flooring has been removed. I’m priming my self leveler now, will self leveler later today.

Seems to me the less seems the better also the blank says it has an underlayment already. I’m watching your video now and I noticed you’re not putting anything on your subfloor- do I need anything with my concrete?
Can you please tell the difference and show about lvp, wpc, spc flooring? Which one is the best for high-rise apartment floor
In another video (vinyl comparisons) you said all vinyl needs underlayment no matter if it comes with it attached. Why no underlayment here?
Gooood question
I read that if its going on concrete to always use an underlayment. Subflooring like this doesn't require it.
Concrete has moisture to deal with. Which may explain this difference.
Its a trailer and only designed to last another 20 to 30 years. not investing in a temporary structure.
Unfortunately he is wrong on that statement. Vinyl floors do not need underlayment in any circumstance.
Simply they're not intended to go over any kind of x-tra cushioning because they breaks apart on the joints due to the up-down movement.
*Experienced installer advice here.
This was such a great video! Tips and tricks throughout and all the way to the end! Thank you!
That's good
plywood on your floor.
We run into OSB
here in Florida, and some manufacturers use.
What do you guys think about vinyl pieces that after installed start to lift up? When you step on them you can feel the space in between them and the foundation?
Installed these same planks in my kitchen and the leftover boxes i had did a portion of my finished basement
Just what I needed. Thank you for making this video!!! I love how you walked through the entire process 💯
Great idea screwing the floor in place to hold it. But what about on concrete any ideas for that?
These videos are great. I'm hoping to do a DIY flooring for my sunroom in Eastern PA... is there something I should be aware of when selecting a product that can handle heat/cold very well?
do you need to use an underlayment? I've seen mixed answers
Can you install vinyl flooring directly unto a concrete floor, or you need a wooden base?
direct to concrete is doable. look into underlayments however to make it quieter. Cheers!
Can I put this directly over my tiles or is it best to take up the tiles?
Curious. I was told to start in the middle of the room (find the middle point) and work outwards towards the wall. From your previous videos you always start on a wall. Is there much of a difference from having a starting point?
I like to start at the most important visual line there is on an outside wall.that way you avoid being crooked to the house and avoid finishing with slivers in important places. Cheers!
7 min in and i want to hire someone
What about the wall spacers that are removed that allow expansion?
Hi! What kind of blade did you use in your table saw that was sufficient for the SPC vinyl planks?
Hi,
I’m looking to do my kitchen floor within the month, due to new cabinets being installed and would like to ask you a few questions.
Should I remove linoleum off entire floor before installing? Should baseboard boards be removed? Finally, should I use any type of adhesive for the floor? I’m thinking from all the research that I have done, install should be the following: demolition, repair any damage to walls, paint, install cabinets, countertops, backsplash, floor then lighting. Is this correct.
1:04:30 What about moving a refrigerator without damaging the floor?
Hi, nice video. What's the colour of your door at the back? It looks amazing
Hey Jeff, I'm currently preparing to install in my new store and after pulling up some old carpet I found vinyl tiles. Under the vinyl tile I found black which I believe is an adhesive placed over the cement floor. Do you think I can install the flooring over that? Id hate to try and remove it all 😫
“It’s just - visually - not as attractive as a longer piece of wood” *cues music 😂 1:11:07
Would a humid climate like Vancouver be a third reason to go VP over hardwood to avoid cupping?
I'm doing the same thing this weekend 😂 even looks like the same vinyl flooring.
just curious why no pad was used?
great job reguardless
A few years ago in a video you mentioned that you should still put a under-pad but I didn’t see that in this video. Any advice if we should be adding it or not if it’s already on the vinyl?
I have the same question
@@danaham2868same
@@danaham2868 I think, the under pad - may be - for areas which can get easily wet by concrete base ( in basement) where the vapors happen.
These already have it attached, but some don't
I just bought this exact same floor. I asked this question since it is for the basement, directly on the concrete and told me to AVOID putting anything underneath it.
This is what I have been waiting for. Thanks.
What tools should I grab if I’m doing this myself?
Hi Jeff. Wow, looks awesome. 👌. Great tips to 👍. Great channel. Thanks for sharing. Fantastic stuff. Take care.
Awesome video! I love the way you breakt things down for DIYers!
Reading my mind? I'm literally going out to buy today ! Thanks eh !
Wow is that where the term “cutting corners” comes from??
Would you screw it down to concrete floor aswelll? Tapcons im guessing? Or how would you hold it down
