Check out my other flooring project videos:

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

When you said we dont need fancy tools I had to mute it so my wife didn’t hear...shhh. How do you think guys get new tools? We tell them it’s a necessity to do the project. 😂

[@joebachman4128]

This guy provided more information than the manufacturer did. His video was a big help.

[@jakeberry8186]

I love that you’re showing “What NOT to do” because people really only learn from mistakes, so this is a great method of teaching 🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you, I hope more people take a page from your book 💯🔥🙏🏼❤️✊🏼

I used this same home flooring. From home depot. It is amazing 5 years later and it still looks like day 1 when it gets mopped. I even used it in my living room that is 20x24, no random gaps, no weird pop outs at all.

[@fast4wood]

Great job. I mostly use a barrel grip jigsaw for 90 percent of my cuts , cutting from the bottom of

[@lisacalhoun8080]

Great tips! I like how you showed how to fix mistakes too...makes me feel assured I can salvage mine when I try this soon!

[@michelleyourtexasrealtor3214]

I love that you gave different options to cutting the floor because I’m one of those people that is a DIYer but that does not have a lot of fancy tool thank you so much and this is very helpful

[@SimplyMary]

What a great video! Thank you so much for some important reminders for those of us DIY'ers who don't do this kind of thing very often. The use of the multi tool and the way you spaced the edges under the door jams and trim where needed is going to come in so handy as well as many of the other tips like the *Warranty! Thank you for the reminder to be mindful of the contract!

[@cheds-uy7wj]

Wished I had seen this vid before I attempted my sons floor. There were some great tips. Thank you

[@Detownrebel1]

Finally an educational video on how to install Vinyl plank flooring...Too many people on youtube are subject matter experts that just cannot contain their excitement, and felt the need to share that with the world.

[@PoopyButt7]

This is the only video I can find that shows how to fix uneven flooring on a second floor. Thank you very much. I'm gonna give this a go!

[@dfreeze2]

Excellent video - thanks! I usually take the opportunity to upgrade the baseboards to something taller / nicer. This is especially helpful if you're going from carpet to plank flooring because otherwise you're going to have some painting to do if you put the original baseboards back on.

[@rickbourdier1408]

Requiring Natalie's sweat equity and your kindness to Copper are as valuable as all the other great things you show. Thanks for the post.

[@finbarmathews9059]

When removing the tack strip save some carpet pad to roll them up in

[@kimwilletts8476]

Great video, very helpful. I would take the baseboards off before doing the flooring as well. A lot less of a headache, can also give them a quick coat of paint to clean them up while they're off if need be, much easier.

[@jeffclark6202]

Good job, this was a simple one. A previous comment talked about the base and I agree. By all means use bigger pre painted base to cover the old paint and calk line.

[@bassinbillRC5300]

ooh, ooh. I really like how they ensured a straight cut using the jigsaw kept in line with the straight edge clamped down on both ends of the sawhorse table. Cool beans!!!

[@aaronnoyes4059]

I recently used these tips to make an install of lifeproof flooring in my sisters bathroom so much easier and without any issues. Thanks for doing the video !

[@MrShadyCash]

Doing floating snap flooring for the first time. I'm a contractor and the customer is fully aware this is my first time. I've done plenty of tile, and so far it's been a snap! (Horrible pun, I know) any diy people out there don't be intimidated, you got this. This video perfectly explains and goes over everything you need to know. I really wanted to let you know your video is extremely spot on, like always. I also wanted to let you and your subscribers know about a trim pulling tool from Goldblatt that a friend introduced me to that is far superior to the Trim Puller. I ordered it off Amazon for just over $20 US, and it's just amazing. Anybody buying a trim pulling tool, you've gotta try this one! I swear I'm not some Goldblatt troll, just love tools and wanted to drop a line and let anybody know it exists. Again, great video thanks for sharing the info. Have a great day everyone!
