I installed over 1300 sq feet of continuous (no transitions) lvp drop and lock throughout my entire first floor with your videos on youtube. Since I couldn't tear up the whole house I did one room at a time over a year's time. I used the technique in this video to interleave the boards with adjoining rooms when necessary. The result was beautiful. Your videos were the difference maker. Thank you! OH! fellow youtubers....don't forget to put protective feet or felt pads on all of your furniture.

I am from Waverly, Tennessee the place of the horrible flooding that happened August 21, 2021. My home flooded and we lost everything. We had help gutting the house and some money from FEMA but not enough to pay contractors. I am a single widowed mom and was facing a mountain. I taught myself how to hang sheetrock, tape, mud etc... eventually volunteers come to help, some skilled but mostly not. All with good intentions though. I had watched every video on flooring you have, ordered tools from the links, and was ready. The volunteers come in and trying laying floors without ever popping a line to maintain strait lines. I wanted my floors to flow all through the house so i took it apart and started it back strait. Its been a year since the flood and we are finally finishing up and thanks to you and your videos and know how, and the prayers, i have beautiful floors and we are fixing to be back home. Thank you sooo much! If you get any extra time and want to visit somewhere beautiful, Waverly could sure use uour help. We have hundreds of folks either homeless or living in rvs still. Thanks so much. Shelly Story

[@dartagnantaft5918]

I'm hoping I never need to do this, but I appreciate you taking the time to show us how.

Great video! Learning a little every video and thank you Joe!. So kind that you pray for your audience. Your light shines bright and an inspiration to all!

[@YourQuietSounds]

Thank you sooooo much for this video I had to replace 5 planks in my floor. This is the only video that broke it down and helped me do it right on my first try. Wow I’m so happy thanks again!!!!!

[@norcalnewsnetwork]

I wanted to say Thank You! Your video this video was instrumental in my repair of one board that was scorched by a heat lamp. The cutting with skilsaw is so cool and i used my Fein Multitool to do all the final cuts for removing and the new plank. Thanks again the task took me 30 minutes start to finish you rock!

[@CatFishMarmite]

I’ve learned a lot from you man, thank you. And God bless you and your family as well

[@robertplatt3329]

Thank God for your channel Joe! I did 2200 sq ft in my house with multiple angles and no breaks except for three ceramics tile bathroom. Used Cali vinyl pro. Came out perfect and this video will allow me to replace any damage planks in the future!

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

Great tutorial! My mom has a floor plank that got wet and warped. I think this is exactly what i need to replace it. Thanks 👍

[@keith4154]

Another excellent tutorial I need to replace a board and was thinking about the process. It’s early morning here and over breakfast this could not have been better timing Have a great day or night 👍

This man's a vinyl plank flooring genius

[@darrylmccormick4607]

God bless you sir! Always God's servant and an endless resource. Be well.

[@YouSoundButtHurt]

Another great how to, thanks. I have a few planks I need to replace and this will come in handy.

[@nimrodping4438]

Hello from the UK Joe. Getting ready to install my laminate flooring and I reckon I've spent more time watching your videos than it's going to actually take me to complete the flooring! Just want to say thanks for all your content, it's given me so much confidence going into my project. You're a hero mate.

[@Peter-.H]

Thanks for the tips. Great video. Well explained and straight to the point . Perfect 👍

[@richardburton-777]

Joe, thanks for all the great videos ,tips & quality you bring to the community. And most of all your sincere prayer & Christian FAITH 👍❤️🙏🛡️⚔️

[@robavis4906]

Thanks for your vids. Very helpful

[@Sofis-yn6eq]

[@LightZone9]

I followed your instructions and successfully installed 875 sq of LVP in the house we built. I just wanted to thank you for your videos and excellent instruction.

[@ricday9296]

I have watched your videos and just finished 600 sq feet installation, I bought the tools you recommended and my son and I got this done in 2 days...thank you for your help and advice...

[@joncovington2859]

[@canyoncreeklabradors5942]

Excellent tutorial!

[@bigtime37ja]

Thank you for the tutorial. I was wondering how to conduct that repair.

[@jk12428]

Great video thank you Sir🙏💛🌟‼️

[@Narrow_Gate_Forge]

God bless you too brother!

[@mollyyounger5578]

Hello! This is so helpful. I do have a question about it cracking on the seams. We installed flooring from Home Depot and it’s been cracking at the seams so we will have to replace 2-3 staggered panels…so it’s a bit confusing on how to repair this in the best way. Thanks in advance for any tips!

[@fudgedogbannana]

Thank you for the tutorial and thank you for the prayer.

[@coplock6689]

Great video. You're a good teacher. Thanks for sharing.

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Thank you

[@kkutube1972]

Another great video.

[@pandabear8142]

Great thanks 🙏👍

[@Methodical2]

Nice. I put this video in the vault.

[@aaronbagby208]

Thanks for this video. I had a friend helping me with my install, and he laid a plank that had something stuck to the underlayment. This created a high spot/pressure point which led to that plank being punctured a bit. We think this plank will be hidden below the bed and never get worse, but it’s good to see that it could be addressed if we’d like to. However, I have not had luck with getting a piece to slide horizontally once it is locked/laid flat. This makes me really hesitant to even try. Any tips for this situation?

[@michaeltechreviews5390]

Thanks a ton!☀️

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Joe.

[@archerxo1]

Thank you sir!

[@user-lf7en6rf8m]

Joe, thank you so much, give an you shall receive, i have a job like this , a little intimidating however christ dont want me to be afraid, thank you 🙏

[@muzic4lyfe2005]

Nice one 👋

[@johnfeather5405]

Can you lay it over rolled linoleum in the bathroom? Also, my closet in the bathroom as carpet, do I have to build the floor up so it’s level? Thanks

[@anotherbutt4chair56]

Hi Joe! I did this over weekend, on one plank, I made a mistake, didn’t cut the tongue off at a perfect angle, so when I laid it down? It left a fingernail gap. It’s super glued down? For mean time? I think I will fill in the gap with some kind of wax, or matching crayon color? What do you think?

[@showandtellmywigs]

Just wondering if the glued piece will be affected by the normal swelling in hot or cold weather. Is the glue going to hold up over time? Thanks

[@DeCiphors]

Any way to fix rows that have overlapped and have come un locked without ripping out entire floor ? Probably not . What about two gouged pieces in the entry way of a room ?

[@jimmyfavereau]

God Bless Brother and thanks for the info🙏🏼

[@hippiemiller]

What do you do when the floor has a tilt lock instead of the folding lock pull the floor up from the wall?

[@b-rare]

good vid btw nice job

[@oregonsdank]

Ty. Also hope that if I ever have to do this I get paid well.

[@puppychulo1915]

Can you do that if the boards are glued down?

[@AnthonyPerez]

Just wondering if you glue it how would you repair it again if it’s in a spot where it takes a beating all the time.

[@TonightWeGrill]

I just did about 600 sq foot in my kitchen and living room and got about 5 of the ends beveled up a little bit. Is there a fix for that?

[@Vater1]

Thanks !

[@loganfuller9413]

Would this be the same process for lvt?

[@maxsavage3998]

Can you do it for laminate as well

[@jonathanmartin998]

Thanks for the how to. I have lvp from about two years ago that has come up in multiple places and begun chipping off

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Glad it helped

[@roberthahn5945]

Any floor layer needs to know how to do this it beats taking up 200sf or a cut up hall way with jambs. Thanks it will hold up just fine

[@williamkaiser8490]

Cut across from corner to corner making a x to all 4 corners! Much easer!

[@esotomeza2121]

God bless 🙌 🙏

[@chuyperez2145]

Nice video, I like the end, god bless you too🙏🏼, luke 16:10

[@joshuast.patrick426]

He sounds like Ricky from the trailer park boys

[@motocatz87]

How do I take care of a gap? I suddenly have a gap with the plank I replaced.

[@pegicarey7008]

I didn’t watch enough videos before starting and now I’m trapped. I’m attempting a 1000 square foot single wide without transitions. Boy did I start in the wrong place and I’ve created a room full of “traps”. Any help for that would be greatly appreciated.

[@tinacecil7922]

How can you tell which side is which (tongue and groove)? When taking them out.

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

It will be very noticeable.

[@dontblameme6328]

Joe... Thanks for the prayers. Our country needs all we can get.

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

No problem

[@Vater1]

🙏🏾

[@faylizahorton968]

Does this technique work on laminate?

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

YES!!

[@3rdGenFireChicken]

When that lip snaps off and gets stuck under there a lot of times with a breed plank you won’t be able to get that out from under there. That’s a cheap plank you can tell from the other side where you saw where the lip kinda broke and you got that fine line.

[@kevinmurphy5132]

Bro i thought this was ricky from trailer park boys! Great vid tho

[@1topbaron559]

And this is why you should install loose lay instead of click.

[@scottybeam3000]

Thank you Joe for your very thorough explanation on how to do that and as always being a good Christian man and bringing God into this I think it's wonderful I hope you have a blessed day

[@michelletrippi7782]

I thought these floating floors shouldn't be glued.

[@williamhutchison6400]

So why not just get a permanent marker the same colour as the chip in wood and just shade it in, save all the work

[@wolfc8755]

Brother, Matthew 6:5-8.

[@josephbohme7917]

Brarely went all the way through? No, you almost went thruogh. But we see waht you are doing; no podcast here. Looks good enough for almost 98% of us. Damn 2% are so picky. They would never haved used vinyl anyhow.

[@robertbeirne9813]

NEVER try to cut backwards with a circular saw. Vinyl planks are soft enough to get away with but if he caught the sub floor that saw could have gone flying.

[@joelfresque6335]

Just leave it no big deal

[@b-rare]

i hate this flooring locking tongue and groove system i feel like it fails a lot and its a crappy invention we need next level flooring . any little low spot in the floor and the shit breaks. garbage man. even taking it apart you can break it all. its a trash invention if you think about it.

[@tbuc2920]

I am really glad that I found your YT site. This video will come in handy for me when I get to replacing a plank. You have a new subscriber my friend.

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davidrose2920]

Maybe watch a video on how to remove vinyl before you make a video.

[@robavis4906]

Thanks for your vids. Very helpful

[@NoInfoFound]

Thanks!

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Thank you Tim!!
