How to install beadboard on your ceiling

[@Tkm112093evadell]

Nice work man! Love the cleanliness of it all. But not once have I ever heard anyone say “god is in the details”😂 until now. Keep up the good work my dude!

[@tarap5618]

Totally agree with you. The details on more traditional homes give such character and warmth. Newer builds are lacking in that area IMHO. Great job!! Very clean.

[@bchrisl1491]

That rolled in quite nicely. I usually use a scrap of tongue board to tap against with seating the T&G boards. That sure is a high end job you are working on. It sure is going to be a nice one when it’s finished.

[@johnmommens5952]

You're like the diy shows. You make everything look so easy. The upside down heavy router no problem right easy as pie.

[@gordonmcclung]

Your an absolute credit to your trade. I know finish carpenters that couldn't lace you boots. I would have loved to serve mytrade under a guy like your knowledge. Keep up the good work. It's the highlight my week... love from Scotland

[@oldskoolwayy]

I like how he is speaking more on charming details, historic building, he is showing more knowledge now in his new videos, looks like sombody has been watch brent hull videos from the build show..

[@jenna6256]

I could do this over my popcorn ceiling......Nice work !!

[@brookepebbeles7553]

Cool, clean install. I watched the whole video waiting for you to show how you did the trim work on the ceiling though...based on the title "This SIMPLE TRIM board makes a HUGE difference"....

[@thomascarhart928]

Ha I did that 15 years ago when I added a room on the back of my house making it feel like an enclosed porch. I used axel bed board. Love the look!

[@JoePelayo1]

Thanks for including the link for windsor one in the description. I'm going to head over to my nearest dealer for my future trim orders. Great content as always as well.

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video Richard !!!! thanks

[@pitsnipe5559]

The more of your videos I watch, the more I wish I’d been a trim carpenter. Started as an electrician, became a boiler operator, then a boiler inspector, then a training developer, now retired. Have trimmed out two houses (my own), always enjoyed that work.

[@manuelcalvillo4660]

You are a true craftsman, really love the work you do on these homes you work on.

[@dwaynebailey3511]

I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and learn more about carpentry. Have numerous ones saved for the reminders, best 1 for me is the low electrical outlet and you showing how to work around them! Not only do you provide excellent work but excellent education for a DIY’er like myself. Thank you, Dwayne

[@cappleget]

Very NICE detail!!!

[@markmacmullen3512]

I agree with you 100%. Homes with classic architectural detail are much nicer to look at and ponder over than modern architecture.

[@rickmasten6409]

Love your finesse on all of your work it's all in the little things you have to point out keep up the great work!!!

[@joebrown1382]

Beadboard will never get old. Always liked it in ceilings. Even works with a nautical theme.

[@Tkm112093evadell]

Only good to do if you’ve got good framers and drywall guys to insure that ceiling is as flat as possible. I’ve seen to many BBoard installs that follow that nautical theme too much and the whole things turn out a wavy mess 😂

[@joebrown1382]

@@Tkm112093evadell You are right. Not the best with bad framing. When done right I still like it.

[@Tkm112093evadell]

@@joebrown1382 deep down I definitely love the look of a proper BBoard install but have learned to dislike it over the year because of how many installs are either done poorly or on bad framing. New construction is fine typically, but older houses from 1979 and before are done terribly because the contractor doesn’t shim/mud the ceiling flat before hand.

[@joebrown1382]

@@Tkm112093evadell My house is over 65 years old. There is a place in a bedroom ceiling that has a poorly milled joist. There is a big hump if you cross the joists with a straight edge. Could never beadboard this.

[@Tkm112093evadell]

@@joebrown1382 I agree, unless you were to have a drywall guy come out skim out the whole thing with one of those 36” skim tools. Or tear out the drywall and fir everything flat. But at that point is it worth it to put bead on it? Haha probably not.

[@garyK.45ACP]

Nice work, Richard. The builder chose the right person for this

[@devastatn]

It's those Lil things. Exactly right my friend. True craftsmen. Thanks guys. 👍💯

[@jamesoneil7768]

Nice job Richard, That is a very professional looking job I like the flush trim bit on the cans. How much of this interior do you get to do. Love your videos from a 40 year carpenter

[@darcyd8735]

There’s nothing basic about being a finish carpenter. What you do is art.

[@rimu3715]

Me gustan los videos de este caballero antes de siquiera verlos. Gracias por compartir.

[@djkitty777]

I agree, value is found in the details.

[@jonhancock7695]

Love seeing the solution to problems like sprinklers in homes

[@kevinfultz1908]

Luv the bead board look. Just did my porch ceiling in it. Gives it that old school feel, great vid bro 👍🇺🇲💥

[@tc9148]

You make superb craftsmanship look so easy.

[@jvillalp1017]

Nice job as always. Very detailed work.

[@richardbennett22]

Great video as usual and Love your attention to details. Not only in your install but how you communicate it as well! 👍👍

[@MrMonsie]

You always make it look easy. It is all in the detail.

[@ELIRAXPRT]

That's going to be a cool looking room. I love the router to cut the can lights. I did one with a jig saw and it was slower and didn't look as good

[@jgcracker81]

I’m glad you are back to getting some videos up. I love your content! Couple questions: Is that John in this video? Are you going to do an update video on your new house? Still too soon for an update? Thanks again man!

[@michaelgergen2691]

That's really cool never knew you could router out

[@frankmunoz2232]

Beautiful job

[@satchmodog2]

Never thought I'd see you using cords and hoses again. I just picked up the Makita trim router for that very reason. Even though my main line is Milwaukee I went Makita because I just bought another tool that came with 2 batteries and the charger and figured I may as well put those Makita batteries to work. Looks good dude. I love the look and hope to see the finished product.

[@hansangb]

Man I hope you get some Isotunes or earplugs soon. People all around me get so annoyed when I say "what?" "huh?" In my Infantry days, I was too proud to wear hearing protection. And boy do I regret it now. But the ceiling came out fantastic and I'm learning so much. TY.

[@VCGConstruction]

Definitely adds that “somthin something”!

[@justinkemmerer1346]

I’m really curious how they’re going to finish those fancy entryways.. never seen anything like it before. Maybe that can be an addition to one of your videos??

[@rickteeden8656]

I’m sure Richard will come up with a way to trim it out.

[@76shogun1]

Yeah I was wondering the same thing.

[@kennyshepherd8311]

Thank you!

[@Danman1972]

Looks like a great build. I don't know the builder, but there were two houses that went in an older neighbor hood in Forney that were like that. Super cool. One even saved an old carriage house to use as a shed or shop. Not the typical HOA builder slapped together stuff.

[@kevkeelan5106]

Router circle templates are worth considering. I avoid the jigsaw as much as possible.

[@jwats1040]

Tapping block for laminate or hardwood floor also helps easier than the rubber mallets love your videos big fan from Massachusetts!

[@Flores828]

Proud of all your hard work and your channel growth still here watching brother!

[@christinalopez7280]

You are awesome. I love watching your videos.

[@rickcimino743]

watching you and your helper bang directly on the beadboard .....that must be some hard stuff. When I do any T and G (flooring, wainscot, ceiling) I was taught to cut a small piece of the material and put that in the groove and bang on that to set the piece thereby eliminating the worry of damaging the finish piece. Regardless, that ceiling looks great.

[@kbbb4227]

Thank You.

Looks good man 👍. I always get excited when I see a new video is posted. Still waiting on the dewaukee shirts.

[@ryandiedrich6317]

Because of you I am asking Santa for a router. I never had one before and honestly was quite intimidated by it. Guess I just got to buy some bits and practice!

[@stromboli1025]

Richard, Up North (New York-Long Island) we use WIndsorOne for mostly interior projects. It's a great product but how come you didn't use Azek Board or any other plastic board product. That would have also been used for the ceiling you just did. We do a lot of bathrooms in the bead board plastics because of the moisture. It's maintenance free and easy clean for exterior.

[@The_HomeHandyman]

Looks great! By the way a number of the equipment links in the description are bad.

[@skoomasteve6144]

I love this channel bro!

[@Ninja47Monkey]

Looks awesome, would be cool to see any tricks for installing in a room that isn't quite square

[@bobpoor6348]

Hey, did a ceiling in fir bead board in a room that had six walls of different lengths in it and ended up installing square to the longest wall (run) and it came out looking great.

[@Max-hw6lv]

At 2:26, you use a tape measure to measure the ceiling width, but sometimes you use the laser measure for this. Any reason why you wouldn't use the laser in this case? Is it less accurate?

[@timmietimmins3780]

Probably didn't have it on him, I would guess. I also use the disto d2. It is not accurate in the first few inches past the end (doesn't seem to focus properly, or maybe the eye is not looking at the same point the laser is aimed at, as they are two different devices on the end), but beyond that, it is bang on. At that range, I would expect it to be accurate to the 32nd. The manufacturer only guarantees it to 1.5mm (which is nearly a sixteenth) but I suspect that's out at it's 300 foot rated range. At short distances like that, you can get it to measure to the 32nd and it seems to be basically bang on. Warning though, I am referring to the laser on his saw stand in the last video at the start, the black and red Leica. His amazon referral links link to a completely different laser (one of the bosch lasers), which are MUCH cheaper tools I have no experience with.

[@antoniobiondo1509]

Right there with you about modern homes. They lack the character and charm of the older homes. Modern, production builders always skimp on the details. Builders around me never case out windows or walkway openings, huge pet peeve of mine.

[@normancastillo3111]

When are the t-shirts going to be on stock? Really want both the navy and black.

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

So TRUE!!! about new construction lacking character Richard!! We had hired a "Custom"(freakin joke) builder & we had to fight him tooth & nail to add extra stuff to our house. And not free of charge of course. He didn't want to deviate from his blueprints one bit!! Hoping all is well, Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@schmitty69]

Love it! My house was built in 1912 and has almost all original woodwork. I do have an open front porch and the ceiling boards have prior water damage on them. I can't decide between this style bead board or carsiding, and whether to paint or stain it....decisions decisions...

[@GuywHammer]

DIY question - Why use a jig saw? My first instinct is to use a hole-saw, but maybe I am missing something.

[@domlaw1035]

Re watch it. He explains.

[@Rudevette]

I like it. Those boards are primed pine correct? And about 3 1/4” wide? How much per lineal foot does a board like that cost? I’m a carpenter of 25 years and all of the T&G we get here is hard to work with. It’s bowed and warped and has crappy looking knots and cracks and things. My local lumberyard is going to look into the Windsor one for me.

[@mattgreen2398]

What stud sensor is that?! Quality work as always from the UK 🇬🇧

[@casycasy5199]

time to invest in some hole saws and a battery router

[@rbiamby]

Great video what camera are you using for your videos they look sharp very professional.

[@dougwestberry3093]

Terrific work and I love your videos… super instructive. A couple of questions: How do you decide which direction to run the beadboard? Does it depend on the direction of the ceiling joists above?

[@lesg9604]

Makes it a lot easier to go perpendicular to the joists. If the preference was to go with the joists then nailing strips would need to be installed to make that happen

[@aaronibarra7935]

How do you do your closets?

[@sparx2391]

Can't believe there are people ( I use that term loosely)😂 who gave this a thumbs down, probably never done a day's work in their life. Great job.

[@curthook9622]

Sprinkler heads in a residential? Is that a code in Texas?

[@thiagochaves3818]

I’m doing my master bedroom ceiling with the same style beadboards, but mine is a cove ceiling and im planning on running the boards at the top flat part. How would you trim the edges before the angled ceiling part starts? Or would it look stupid to just do the top flat part? Love your work man… I’ve learned a lot from your videos

[@firejack007]

If you ever do accidently set off a sprinkler, you can stop it by hammering in a simple wedge of wood.

[@waynemcnally1403]

what's your thoughts on using bead board on my living room sealing parts of the house has bead board in the old hired help part of the home it's an old farm house

[@oldb-1kenobi]

Hi Richard, a moment of your time please...after you have routed out the openings for the lights and finished the remaining board installs, would there be any need to go back and prime the openings that you just routed?

[@mikewise0242]

If it is humid or in area that can get humid, then yes. Priming the raw wood in those areas and the end cuts certainly wouldn’t hurt.

[@howardmeyers5147]

What type stud finder do you have

[@guindoni899]

Anyone know if there’s a Windsor one equivalent available in Canada?

[@richardguimond1087]

Digging it

[@yayofalcom]

I love your work and I have learned a lot from watching your videos., But I have two questions from this video. 1.- why not using the cordless DeWalt finish nailer...? 2.- what happened to the guy yelling f*''×k in the background? 🤘😝 Keep up the good work dude!!!!

[@nopenope134]

You gonna shout out the builder??

[@willbenn9437]

Question, why do you not have two nail guns? My point is faster, more efficient and easier. Just wondering, lo love the work and content and am a fan. I do custom interior work in Atlanta myself

[@homesteadorbust]

I know it’s interior but I hope they paint that ceiling blue.

[@danperales5804]

Do you paint your baseboards, trim work before or after installation? I need to install baseboard and would like to paint before installing. I would just fill the brad holes with drydex and do a touch up paint job.

[@lesg9604]

I cut to size, dry fit, then paint before installing. The bad part about this is trying to blend where you paint over your nail filled holes and make it look clean, for me at least

[@MichaelAndreula]

That is charming.

[@countysecession]

I think the saying is, "The devil is in the details." Nice video.

[@mikemayers9353]

We dont do that in europe our ceilings are slabs of concrete

[@MrRadtech22]

nice!

[@VicSouders]

Use an off cut instead of tapping with your mallet on the piece being installed. Ugh! That killed me. I'm sure it looks great but don't take the risk of damaging the installed one. Tap with an off cut. Love the videos!
