People I am a professional. What Joe is teaching will set you on a great path. On one install for a customer who watched me doing the install. He said Bob you used tape at first then you did the rest off a piece of scrap. As he scratched his head. That scrap was the cheater board people. I don't care how squirrely your walls are the cheater will make the last cut along the walls perfect to the squirrely wall and so much more. Joe truly is a gift to installing flooring. I thought I knew how then I started doing exactly how Joe teaches. I was paid handsomely for learning Joe's way.

Just spent 3 days helping my friend lay laminate flooring and quarter round moldings with transition pieces between tile and laminate. Neither one of us have ever done anything like that before - we are both retired ladies - but watched KZbin videos to learn how. WHY oh why didn’t your videos show up when we searched for information??? This is the best tutorial of them all, and would have saved us so much frustration.

Joe……thanks so much for your videos. I have installed plank flooring in the past in my house, my sons, and brother in laws. But watching your videos made this install so much easier. The screwing down scrap pieces instead of trying to use spacers was phenomenal. The cheater board works like a charm. Never had such good tight cuts. And installing in the bathroom around the toilet hole and the tub,was a breeze. It came out better than I would have hoped for. As a man of faith, I also appreciate you be vocal and expressing your belief in prayer and Christ. Bless you and thank you!.

People because I took notes. I studied what Joe is teaching. I now install flooring as one of the trades my company offers. Joe is the real deal. Do exactly as he instructs. Yesterday I laid flooring in a bathroom. the only time the tape came out is to figure out how to place planks so I did not end up with a sliver at any wall. Doing that is the hardest part in my opinion. Once I got that straight it was cheater board and skill. No sweat. Customers were very pleased when I was done. Do what Joe is teaching. Don't try to do it your way. Save yourself the sorrow of oops. Namaste.

This is spot on - all the 'tricks of the trade' that Joe and the rest of us learned through trial and error, and looking at a situation thinking about how to put down the best floor. Some (many) installers just rack & smack, they don't give alot of thought about placement of butt joints, same patterned boards next to or near each other, or not having small end cuts. This is why Joe stands out in his work. Very good explainations of the "why", not just "how to". Keep up the good work and keep all your digits!

Joe, thank you for this educational installation video jammed packed with tips. We bought a house last year and want to replace the upstairs carpet with some type of plank/laminate/SPC floors option but we need to save $. I feel as if we can actually be successful. I love the part where you showed how to fill an unleveled subfloor, as I have these in a few areas that we feel as we walk in the carpet. Question: What is the best way to secure loose plywood on subfloors? We have ALOT of areas that when you step on them, you hear and feel the boards move and squeak. I know we will have to address this issue in addition to some unleveled areas. Thank you and I definitely became a new subscriber!

I would need to know if you have a two layer subfloor or a one layer. Find a vent, remove it and measure the subfloor for me.

I never knew instructors this thorough, passionate and concise still exist. Just born that way, I guess! If my calculus professor was half as good at tutoring, I'll probably have ended up in Space X.

Joe, I love your simplistic methods of creating a perfect floor. It started out a little on the corny side, but I am so glad I hung in there because your content is second to none. New subscriber. I can not wait to view more of your videos so I can grow in my trade.

If you ever want to remove hot glue from the surface that you bonded to, or , to separate parts that you glued together, just apply some rubbing alcohol to the hot melt glue and it will just release in 60 seconds or less.... just keep the glue joint wet with alcohol and it works like magic.

Thank you for your very clear video's. I just bought a new appartment and going to tackle a 65 m2 of hallway connecting to various rooms and a wide open living room. Thanks to your explanation i have a pretty good picture to complete this job with good result. I do have metal door frames so will be cutting it close as possible keeping expansion room and apply a sillicone kit bead after it is done to visually close the gap with the metal door frames. In two rooms i transition to carpet tiles. I like carpet in my bedrooms. I will find a suitable transition strip to cover this, although i will attempt to transition carpet and vinyl with the strip. Again thank you very much, very helpful. Best regards.

This is a very detailed presentation. First time viewing, I gave up - didn't make too much sense to me since I'm new to flooring. Looked at a bunch of other videos and got more familiar with the subject; then, looked at this video again and understood the many helpful guidelines in it.

You are the real deal brother. I worked for a very reputable by the book carpet and vinyl company and no longer work for them as I have switched to learning tile now. The methods you use are the same methods pass down from the old timers and the things that you say always match up with what I've heard at trade shows and things like that. Truly appreciate your craftsmanship we're losing people like you everyday

I've been installing floors for 36 years, and still learn new stuff from time to time. lol I'm gonna have to try some of your tricks and see if I like them over what I do. you forgot to mention how sharp those transitions are after you slice off a side and show them the sandpaper to fix that on the other side of the cutting tool. if i you have one of them transitions get you its like a razor blade cut. yaosa!

Also, note. Joe's knee pads. Leather with felt. I have bought all types and. so many were crap. What now are the only knee pads I now use. You bet it is the leather with felt. All-day comfort and non of the problems the other knee pads cause. Joe truly does teach exactly what is needed.
