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!!

[@daego24]

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.

[@robertguernsey6464]

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.

[@mariah4451]

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 😀

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thank you Maria, Cheers!

We just followed this tutorial and completed our first project in our first home!! I’m a super fan now!

[@kaelagoertz]

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

[@faridaallam7343]

I love that you explain the why behind your method it’s not just “because this is how it’s always done”

[@rich91710]

"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.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

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✌🏼

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thanks Aepek, I am sure you will make her proud!

[@rowdeo8968]

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.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Thank you Ashley! Cheers!

[@madmastermat]

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!!

[@chrisrobles2012]

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.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Not sure why folks are so hell bent on changing out a $600.00 mirror.

[@chriseTx]

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.

[@shelleyg143]

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

[@HandymanPros]

Looks great - I’m going to check out that mirror heater

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

The thing works like a charm. As far a s I am concerned it is a must for any new renovation. Cheers!

[@mrupholsteryman]

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! 😇😎

[@ilaydabezek1888]

great job mate very neat

[@diggler306]

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.

[@briansegall1084]

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 KZbin 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!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

wow. looks like a lot of folks are searching for economical options aND GETTING BAD INFORMATIUON. cHEERS I AM ON IT.!

[@jacobmendez]

2 years later, know, but would by chance recall where this tile is from??? Absolutely love it

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!

[@alexalexutzu5863]

hey, I really like your channel and I would like if you could make a video with the construction of a wooden staircase for the attic,thanks

[@brandohusb7655]

You might want to apply your grout a little dryer. You end up with small voids caused by air pockets due to your grout being to wet. As you spread your grout, you're pushing the moisture out of it, making it spread easier. The wetter the grout, the more air pockets you'll have.

[@Com67Gab]

The comment is not directed to me but Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@LxvenderTeaa_XoXo]

Thank you for this video! You’re great at explaining things and I feel encouraged to do my own herringbone kitchen backsplash! Only question I have is about the grout. I like those herringbone backsplashes that look like there is no grout and the textured tile is stacked on top of each other and edges are uneven. Have you seen those? Is there spacers thinner than 1/16? Or do they really use no grout?

[@fakenews4381]

Use wedge spacers, the less you push them in, the tighter the joint, don't just but the tiles against each other though as the grout will have no gap to purchase into!

[@jimhouston9811]

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

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

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!

[@adamyeejy-sk9fh]

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?

[@jkxcreations1937]

Hey Jeff, Have you ever thought about doing a exterior brick render video? Cheers

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

[@Charlie12874]

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.

[@billwellington4339]

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.

[@JasminMorin]

This video is great, but I was wondering, if you have to use subway tiles in a herringbone pattern for a backsplash and wall, do you have to care about the first pattern row to be levelled horizontally in any way? In other words, do you have to care about the countertop not being levelled? I’d like to do this in L shaped kitchen and there is almost 1/4 inch difference between both ends. You have a very good video on how to start a brick pattern with subway tiles from a countertop, but what about a Herringbone pattern. Thanks!

[@travismoore1112]

WOW factor! Haha, so true!

[@grimawormtongue2014]

Great job. Only thing I will say, the mirror covers most of the wall, and covers most the herringbone layout.

[@janvier882]

How would you handle a herringbone pattern that continues around a corner? I've seen some people mirror the tiles on the adjacent walls and try to make it look like the tile wraps around. Thoughts? Thanks! :)
