Hey Joe, I'm 23 and just bought my first house. Thanks to you all your tips and tricks I installed vinyl plank in my whole house. Really I can not thank you enough for sharing your knowledge. Couldn't have done it without you!

[@williamguinan9018]

Dude I could listen to you all day , You have saved me so much time and headache ,thanks

[@KeyonnaD]

Thank you so much for posting. I’ve been renovating my great grandmother’s home. Your instructions helped me have a perfect install. God bless you

[@the-mighty-taco]

I just did a big flooring project in my basement. Between leveling the subfloor and picking up the block / puller your advice has been a life saver. I've done small bedrooms and bathrooms but never a main living area/hallway before. Your advice was clutch. TYVM.

[@johnhartford7802]

Just wanted to say thank you for making these kickass videos. I watched tons of videos on installing vinyl plank/laminate and yours were by far the most helpful. Just installed fooring in half my house this weekend and used tons of your tips to get it done. Thank you.

[@joeweatlu5169]

Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. As many others have said, I've learned so much from your videos.

[@jakewillen5146]

Hey Joe, I want to say thank you for your tips and tricks. You're very knowledgeable. Also, thank you for your positive attitude and prayers. God bless you

[@raymondfisher5552]

I've been following you for a while. Thank you for helping us all to learn the important aspects of the many topics you cover. God bless you!

[@marke3623]

Just dropping a comment to say thanks again! Your videos helped me lay my first floor and it looks great. Always great info. 👍🏼

[@Bearded_B]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Your videos are hands down the best. Thank you for all the time you have put into them.

[@bradcedergren]

Great video! Thanks for covering these tools. I am getting ready to start my first install of my entire main floor and I have been watching your videos for inspiration. Also, thanks for being led by God to pray for all of those watching. What a breath of fresh air to see that prayer is not completely lost in this crazy world.

[@Isleskye]

Amen as to being led of God and saying so! Warms my heart and honors God. If we don’t acknowledge Him before those we share earth space with why in heaven would we expect Him to acknowledge us there? Thanks for mentioning this @bradcedergren! Hope your flooring job went well or that does go well! Bless you both!

[@shammon1]

Perfect info for flooring. Thanks for sharing your valued experience

[@bigredjohnson6921]

Thank you for sharing, I have learned so much from you and you have saved me so much $ and time. God bless you my friend.

[@vicentramirez3721]

Your channel has taught me so much! Thank you

[@rpcanada]

Hey Joe. Thank you so much for sharing. Just started laying vinyl plank in my house and I bought your recommended tools including the bullet tools knock block and pull bar. They are amazing! My wife and I are doing this together and she’s so happy I bought the right tools. She loves the knock block and thinks it’s fun to use.

[@harshh120]

Hey Joe Your tips are always great and very helpful How is your experience with flooret silven hardwood so far ? I am seriously considering installing oban .

[@rickbailey2179]

Hello Joe, your tips and tricks are so helpful! You have made the flooring jobs I have done so much better ( more professional ) and easier. You really shows things that save so much time and make it easy to do things right the first time such as door jambs, layout, cheater boards etc. A lot of these things are typically learned by mistakes but your training helps avoid these. Thanks so much! It is obvious you care about helping people. Above all, thanks for having the courage to pray and witness to our precious heavenly father. I pray your witness will wins souls to Christ and Im praying you will continue to be successful. Thanks and God bless

[@Boris5Z]

Thank you so much sir. I have learned so much from your channel.

[@mashtea818]

Thank you and God bless you Joe your awesome.

[@vicentramirez3721]

The mini plane is a game changer for the glue and plane method as well

[@GodFirst607]

I love your videos and your recommendations on tools to use. Most of all, your faith in Christ. Which helps me to determine your convictions on everything you do, and suggest. May God richly bless your life and your families, and your devotion to Him.

[@647Anna]

Great video, thank you!

[@eclecticgentleman]

Another great video. I bought 12 of them spacers but I can't decide to use them or screw a few scraps and skip the first row. I'm doing a 1,200 square feet mobile home job Monday with a laminate from Sam's

[@Save-money1]

Very educational good video 👍

[@jack91522]

Many have talked about SPC peaking when installed on a concrete foundation without a barrier. I think manufacturers are going to recommend a barrier for all installs on concrete if the core is SPC. Perhaps a video on preferred barrier and this topic is warranted.

[@dougrush742]

Really good advise

[@josephlieberman3027]

thank you. God Bless you.

[@harrywest2780]

Great 👍 wisdom 👏

[@anneoreilly4900]

Thanks for putting in a good word for God, Joe, and for your prayers.

[@rtile9053]

Ok, so, good show, K? Very informative, K? Love all your tips, OK! Your shows are awesome, K! I'm looking forward to more good things from you, OK..? I'll be watching K. I'm just having a little fun with you, OK? Have a good day, K? Lol! K..

[@northsouth2010]

Can you do a video on underlayment recommendations please. Especially for use with flooret product

[@michaels7104]

Another great video, Joe. Question: do you use a specific jigsaw blade if using a jigsaw to cut vinyl plank? Every blade I have tried wears down extremely fast. Thanks!

[@wavesofgrainwoodworks]

God bless you brother 🙏

[@SoThatsHowYouDoThat]

Thank you

[@MikeSmith-frog]

Hi Joe, thank you so much for this video as it is exactly what I was looking for. As a person that has never laid any flooring, I plan to start in about 8 weeks from now once I return back in the states from overseas. I want to lay vinyl plank flooring rather than laminate as I will be working on a slab floor and do not need to worry about a moisture barrier. When you start to do the job do you need to remove all of the base board or are you allowed to just put down some quarter round molding once the plans have been installed? Another question is would it be alright to install the vinyl plank flooring directly over a ceramic tile floor. If not, what preparation would I need to do in order to do so? Many thanks in advance in advance.

[@ericrandall3539]

Regarding your Flooret comments at the end…. I like everything about this floor and would probably use it in my entire house. Unfortunate their marketing pushing it out of the running. I have no need for a $4.50 PSF / 40 MIL wear layer of their SIGNATURE, but I also don’t want 6” wide plank of the BASE line. If they offered a 8-9” wide plank in a 20 MIL wear at say 3.25-3.50 PSF, they would crush the niche. Typically this type of product lineup pushes people to the higher tier, but I have no need or desire to drop 4.50 PSF on far more specs than I need for residential. If you have their ear, this would be awesome feedback for them to hear.

[@meekthefreak1367]

Can you do a video on installing planks at a door trim that transitions to an angled wall that isn’t squared up with the door trim?

[@johnr5545]

Thanks god bless

[@muddy1944]

Just found your channel recently and I have a question.Gonna be tearing out all my carpet and putting in LVT. I’m in a condo and live on the second floor so I need the most soundproof under padding I can find. Have you done a video on the best under padding? Been binging on installation videos and your channel has been hands down the BEST. Thank you for all your hard work and God Bless!

[@sociopathmercenary]

He's mentioned Quiet Walk in a couple of videos. Other reviews seem to hold up his opinion. I'm going to be using it with Nucore vinyl that has a cork pad attached.

[@BZ1340]

Have any vids on installing LVP on a stair tread. I have a job coming up with a 1 step landing they want LVP on it. They want the step and sides covered. The step has a overhang on 3 sides which needs to be covered

[@michaelfahim5878]

Hey Joe, have you ever used DMX's one-step underlayment? I bought Cali-vinyl flooring from Lowes and their customer service said not to use it as it's thicker than 2mm and would void their warranty. My issue is I'm installing the flooring in a basement; all they recommend is using 6mil plastic on the slab and then applying the flooring. My concern is moisture and causing mold under the plastic. Would it be safer to use that dimple underlayment for airflow or stick with the plastic?

[@josemunoz-mu7qz]

Hello brother. I always appreciate your prayers. I know you are an honest man. Thank you for that. Having said all that, I ordered the spacers on March 7. I kept them on my cart until I saw them for 37 dlls. Well, they raised the price right after I ordered them to 57. My order hasn't been fulfilled. When I ordered another set, I got them the next day (at 57 dlls of course). I returned them since I ordered them just to make a point. Just making you aware since you promote these items and it may hurt your credibility with other folks not with me I know it isn't your fault.

[@eclecticgentleman]

I wouldn't think anyone would hold that against him. He doesn't control prices, he just says they work good. I personally bought 3 packs of 4 at separate times. Feb 18th and 24th they were $17.89 March 11th $21.37. Personally I blame Joe Flation lol.... Seriously prices always go up

[@josemunoz-mu7qz]

@@eclecticgentleman I would think so but you know folks

[@t.caseyclarke7729]

Joe, love your channel! Your Lixie deadblow hammer... is it the 200H or 200L (should say right on the head where it meets the handle)? I'm asking because the link in your tools section is for the 200L, which isn't what I'm seeing you use in your vids or featuring here. The 200L has a red head on it and different handle. It's also lighter, 38oz vs 56.

[@dirkdiggler9379]

There was at least 50 things you said that I said that’s what she said in my head lol

[@mariabeardmore8252]

Hi Joe, Just watched your review of LVP floors you picked up at one of box stores. Great info. You mentioned Shaw Manor Hill as being a good, solid choice. I love the look and color but I can't find it anywhere for sale. I like the natural, light wood wide planks... any other ones that you like that are light in color. Thanks

[@sociopathmercenary]

He seemed to like the Nucore brand from Floor & Decor as well. I bought a couple dozen boxes for bathrooms and love it. Depending on the style, it's $3 to 4 a square foot. Might be a solid choice if you can't find that brand and you have a Floor & Decor close to you. Good luck!

[@petervandusseldorp1267]

Hello and thank you for the videos. There great. I would like to know how come you don’t show how to do diagonal patterns? I would love to floor my home with 22ml lifeproof. In California Thanks in advance

[@rmcarattini]

How can I make an order, from your tools ? I don't see the link. Thanks!

[@jek539]

Do you have a link or specs on the skid plates used to move appliances? Thanks

[@joseyisaacsblincoe]

Hi! I've looked all over KZbin and I can't find anything that will tell me how to install plank around some old metal railing that leads to our mid level.

[@jeffp7958]

Do you have a video on aquaguard from floor & decor? My wife has me putting down a few hundred sq ft. She picked up the garbage install kit from F&D also and I’m about to pull my hair out. I looked through your videos but I may have missed it.

[@oddopops1327]

👍😊

[@Terrobul]

Just got a quote for $5000 to have 450 square feet of LVP with aqua barrier installed from Empire Today which includes removal of the old carpet, furniture moving and cement patch work..Would you say this is a fair price? Thank You!

[@oddopops1327]

👍👍😊

[@missellen1886]

the china tapping block has 2 screw heads on the bottom?

[@leonard9674]

What is the weight of your dead-blow hammer?

[@Benchamast]

Is it necessary to put underlay under vinyl flooring on concrete floor? Thank you!

[@sociopathmercenary]

Yes. You need a moisture barrier

Looking for a $60-$70 vinyl flooring cutter?

It looks like that gluegun has been replaced with a new model recently: INFINITY GG-RANGER-PRO-12

Hi Joe, two questions ,can you put laminate planks on a concrete stairs and do you put the transition strip directly under the bedroom door. Thank you for your humble and professional help.

[@johnrogers1794]

My wife wants a vinyl plank floor... First time for me.... buy a "real" size tapping block..... DONE (any waiting EBay)...

[@johngladstone1016]

I have all those tools but not the knee pads .

[@anonymous..-]

The crap installation tools from the big box stores will make you think installing plank flooring is hard. The tapping block in this video will literally change your world.
