[@brookehearon5374]

please come and renovate my home in humbodlt county!!

[@trevenwright5465]

Good thinking Chisel and sink !

[@childcareessentials]

Hi how do a home owner get a project completed by you guys? I have a preschool/childcare in my basement and we are looking to have our bathroom remodeled. Changing it from one person use to two. Two toilets, two sinks, etc.

[@marks5593]

As long as the homeowners give consent I would love to see price breakdowns of these projects. Knowing how much different aspects cost would probably help a lot of viewers gauge what they need to budget for a project like this.

[@marks5593]

@serendipidus1 Yeah, obviously it is going to vary wildly, but a ballpark breakdown would be useful for anyone trying to plan. Im not saying that people should use that pricing as a rule, but rather as a reference and even help them guide where they would rather splurge and where they should save.

[@apinchwonderful3256]

I enjoyed the remodel. The entire thing looks beautiful! Thanks for mentioning project cost. I’m learning a lot from watching you. Keep up the good work! The great thing about it... I can make sure my contractor does it right!!

[@tedweiler9983]

New to your channel, Thank you these are great!

[@Billliamm]

Love your videos. They actually show how much WORK is required to do these projects instead of skipping the dirty parts of the job.

[@britts.5982]

Love how you broke down the standards and process of what was done and what Should've been done. Very helpful and professional.

[@gunners4129]

It's the little things like lining up the screw slots on the covers that make me love these videos. They're very relatable for me.

[@jacobbuchanan5322]

I love how "Dad" he is. Rocking the white crispy boi's and dad jeans, being such a good teacher to us and his sons.

[@lucdussault1128]

"white crispy boi's" LOL

[@bronsonstein7724]

You seriously are like a construction forensic investigator! Great education and entertainment, thank you!

[@BobRed0965]

Thank you for letting us see you fighting with that sink. It seems like every project I do has something unexpected like that. It's nice to know this happens with the pros too!

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

You are so welcome!

[@cgr1825]

I loved the finished project. I can’t believe how thorough you are. I appreciate an OCD person like me 😚

[@suzismith9681]

Absolutely! I have one like this but smaller. I call it a butler's pantry, as it has a large sink so the large pots can be washed in there.i store my appliances in the overhead cupboards. It works well. My kitchen isn't large, no room to expand, it was a perfect solution

[@jadafranco1548]

I actually found someone on KZbin, who really gets into details about everything their doing and I’m here for it. As well as some awesome advice to all of us. Love it man keep up the good work

[@nickv4073]

In Manhattan, that would be considered a large studio apartment.

[@DrKrFfXx-0]

With views.

[@emphyrean]

😂

[@BobRooney290]

same here. i would never renovate my apartment. no point in wasting money. there are too many dumb buyers that would easily pay a million of a shitty apartment.

[@televisionhighlights8730]

I think you mean penthouse

[@BrendaHoward411]

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

careful brenda , there is more than 1 way to do anything right. If you have questions you can join our membership program on our other channel and send us pics for confirmation. Cheers!

[@ensinitas]

i assure you your contractor DOES NOT want to hear "how to do it right" from you because you saw it on the intergooglewebtube.

[@Koitus36]

@@ensinitas right?! “I saw on KZbin that you should be doing it this way, or my favorite, “I watch HDTV”…

[@LoonieMommy]

So, I just found your channel on my Firestick today, watched your under 3000$ kitchen reno and LOVED IT!!!! I saw this below and started watching and, I've gotta tell you, I had already subscribed from the first video but, I had to log in to my phone to leave a comment (can't comment on Firestick) because I am SOOOO impressed with you and your Young Men!!!! This video made me a long-time subscriber!!!! The way you, patiently, work with your Sons, gently correct them, giggle at their hijinks, respect their opinions, challenge their knowledge and critical thinking on the project at hand, commend them and teach them with love, warms my heart to no end!!!! Your work is impeccable, your advice is top notch, your critique of others work and the explanations of the why and why nots is beyond helpful and your integrity as a reno guy in the way you try to save the customer money is honest, SOOOO rare these days and an AMAZING example to set for your Boys!!!! Thank you for this channel. Sticking around!!!! 😊😊😊😊

[@jcmhanel1]

How could anyone not like this? Loved it! Absolutely beautiful! My husband just finished our laundry room! It was much smaller but the outcome was beautiful!

[@angl1364]

Love this! I have two boys, 18 months and a 4-year-old. I can’t wait to do these types of projects with them.

[@FollowMarcos]

It's amazing to watch a single man take apart a house. It helps it's made of paper, but still it's fascinating.

[@karencurtis2697]

New subscriber.. wish you were my Dad , I love DIY but would have loved to have been shown everything in a good way . Except I'm 55 so probably more like your older sister, I love the feeling you get when you stand back and look at what you've created. Really inspired, great job lads. Take care everyone 😉

[@joebell3220]

Thank you Sir. You make the best informative step-by-step instructional/reasoning video that I've ever seen. I mean, how can anyone NOT LEARN from your reality renovision videos? Thank You!

[@janicemattox6964]

I wish, like countless others, you were in my area. (the Pacific Northwest) You have skills and an understanding of “craftsmanship” and “attention to details” that separate those with the integrity to build with lasting integrity into the future.

[@pheebelikes3500]

Beautiful finishing touches. Most of the new homes comes with all of those upgrades. Will be nice to see this in tiny homes, cabinets and all in smaller homes. I utilize the laundary room sink all the time for my washing.

[@marthabenner6528]

You are just a fount of fatherly wisdom. You my good sir are a philosopher.

[@joshwhite1268]

I have had a FIVE-in-1 tool for my entire career and only used it as a scraper. I'm a welder. Thanks for the informative videos.

[@MsCouve]

Currently, I am a single mom renting and I watched this video the whole way through.... now to go cook dinner for my boys lol I enjoyed the educational aspect. looking forward to other videos and really enjoyed your interaction with your boys. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@ms.craftycapricorn9475]

MsCouve same here... I’m also a single mom just taking this all in. One day when I get a house I will be so prepared lol

[@zachm7595]

Amazing. Doing laundry isn't so drab when your laundry room looks like that lol

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

When I was growing up my Dad always made the laundry bright and clean. makes sense when you consider the time you can spend in one!

[@tavant6903]

@@REALITYRENOVISION My folks taught me (or maybe it was Grandpa) that "you can't do a clean job with dirty tools", so having a bright and clean laundry room just makes sense. I will be trying to create a bright and lovely laundry area in the garage of my next home - any hints will be appreciated!

[@tyronepelfrey8192]

Tell your boys I have learned so much watching your videos. I’m a diyer myself. I always check on your videos to see how to do it right the first time when I start a project. Thanks for your experience and knowledge. Ty

[@ensinitas]

i LOVE Jeffs videos...i pick up a new idea in each one. this one showed me the woven demo bags...i'll report back on their ability to take a landing off a roof with that sort of debris. for the homeowners looking in, there are a few tools you MUST have for this sort of demo fun...a good shop vac, a WIDE sturdy dustpan and the 7 in 1 painters tool (the one he told you all you get in the video where he redid the kitchen for $4k). thanks Jeff for remarking on the incorrectness of the drywall screws as construction fasteners...drywall screws are for drywall.

[@beaner2907]

I'd be happy to have the before, nevermind the after. Gorgeous!

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

Cheers!

[@mauriciojulianramosdiaz4213]

Honestly i have not seen anyone doing videos like this channel. I love DIY and most videos on youtube dont go into enough detail for you to get insight into all the tips and tricks. I don't know if there is anyone else doing videos like this but Im definitely subscribing to this channel. Kepp up the good work. P.s. Seeing you work reminds me when i was a teenager my dad was a real good contractor and i used to work with him during the summer vacations, these videos bring back such great memories.

[@anielawilliams2544]

Great job! And so nice to see kids working with their dad and actually like it/respectful👏🏽👏🏽 love the finished product and wish I could find a good contractor in NJ that’s affordable 🙄

[@GregScavezze]

Looks great but a couple of questions.... 1. It looks like you can't adjust the water temperature because that lever needs to move forward and back and it is right against the wall? 2. Why not remove the fluorescent light under the cabinet so you can: 1. Tile the back splash without it in the way and 2. Replace with a lower profile LED light that won't burn out and looks "cleaner"?

[@BrittniNicole]

Probably the clients budget or what his client wanted. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@fredflintstone2234]

Fascinating to see how most construction is a botch job. You are a MASTER.

[@duallylicensed145]

Jeff I can literally watch u every day all day. Beautiful work. And thanks to ur camera man (max??) for the great video content

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Thank you for the kind words Kanita, glad you are enjoying the show. Hopefully you tune into the Season 2 season finale this friday!

[@lashondabrown0519]

you are making my day with that dryer vent . im so bumed out about mines . i couldnt figure out why my BRAND NEW dryer wasn't drying so im loving watch you do this. while waiting for the guy to come fix mines. jeff where are you!!!! lol

[@bluexiong3492]

Jeff you just turned trash into gold I need that recipe in my next home. Looks gorgeous.

[@shimmypolkaroo]

This video just gave me hope that we can take this same type of floor out of our home ourselves. I thought we were stuck with it!

[@milagrostorres2453]

Appreciate your instructional and honest approach. You make it look too easy.

[@dahut3614]

OMG, that is you *son* and he has a good attitude and is remotely interested in what you do?! You did something right, and I apparently *failed miserably.*

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

LOL, they have good days and bad ones like anyone else. Cheers!

[@yadirasolis726]

🤷‍♀️😂😂😂

[@aerontudor6542]

You did not fail. You let your children expand their own wings and find their own calling.

[@ensinitas]

unless your kids in prison or stealing tools for meth money you didn't fail at all. i got a son that is completely disinterested in all things tools and the girl is now working as a carpenter and designing a new house we will build. go figure. in the immortal words of robert hunter (by way of jerry garcia) "that path is for your steps alone". if your kid wants to be an accountant get behind him/her...my tax guy is more helpful than most of my tradesmen!

[@robg7896]

Great job. Like that you didn't edit out the rough stuff you ran into.

[@nolj67]

Watching your video make he realize how some contractors half ass the job. It’s make me want to DIY everything myself.

[@JustJoshing902]

I picked up that exact same kholer faucet at home depo for 60% off and love it!

[@ずどん-e6t]

As we say in Greece, Μάστορας! (Mastoras means craftsman but people here call skilled contractors that, so it's like a compliment) Great work!

[@katie2920]

Another great video Jeff! My husband just said to me "I just watched a drywall video from your guy on KZbin and he said to....." 😂 I must talk a lot about you when I talk about our house renovation since he is calling you my "guy from youtube"....and I know exactly who he's talking about... LOL! Every home DIYer should subscribe to your channel for sure so you can be their "guy from youtube" also.

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

Cheers Kate, happy to help!

[@engien460]

Do you guys notice that when woman especialy married one talk a lot about guy from renowation vodeo husbands start religiously watching what she watching ...maybe to prove a point " I am still good hunny and I can do it this on my own hahahah". I cannot stand the guy who don't know how fix electric or change pipes or don't know how build a shed - I love man in uniforms and builders - they make woman dreams come true - build a house and protect a house - you don't need anything else woman`s can do pretty much the rest :)

[@swisschoco25]

How about doing a video on "Renovation/remodeling in a small laundry room thats 5x by 5x in a house built in 1962. "

[@Lisa-hc3uq]

Great idea! I have a small mudroom that I use as an entrance to my condo which was built in 1950. Space is narrow, a side by side washer and dryer barely fits with 2 overhead cabinets and a broom closet along side of it. Would love to see a remodel of older, smaller spaced mudroom too.

[@zachrydahl8928]

Love the videos. You are doing an awesome job. I love the ease and explanation of everything you do. I feel confident in my ability to handle a makeover. Thank you!

[@melaniebevans3036]

You guys did a wonderful job with this renovation.

[@illestofdemall13]

When you install wall plates, it's better to use the right size screwdriver that won't scratch up the screws. Also the old yellow switches and receptacles could be replaced to make everything fresh, new and white.

[@P.L.M.]

You and your sons are so very talented. I need a professional!

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

Cheers Kam, unfortunately we are not taking clients at this time!

[@waceera1513]

I love the way you are teaching the young men. Awesome!

[@StephenCunliffe]

Nice looking job, just 3 minor quibbles... 1.) the hardwood in the hallway... should go lengthwise along the longest run, it looks goofy as short planks, 2.) I would swap out the old electrical switches vs. keep old nasty yellowed ones with a new plate cover, 3.) I like all my screws straight too... but horizontal, not vertical!

[@rudyl2619]

Hi Jeff, I was looking forward to seeing how you installed the new subfloor and what the assembly was. Do you hav anouther video that covers this? Sounds like the most important part of a good, lasting tile job. Thanks!

[@AlnilanaSims]

I was wondering about this too.

[@devan2189]

All the tile in my house done that way. It made the floor to high so the dishwasher doesnt fit under the standard height countertops. Cant wait to rip it all out.

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

It is a lot of work but worth the effort! Cheers!

[@tammmygraves4317]

Wow!! I am getting an education on this !!! I have this same issue at my house. Thanks for sharing

[@chrisandrews6456]

Oh gosh I love this guy.... He has the same passion I have for great design

[@tardismole]

I spent the first thirty minutes with my head in my hands. Over here, someone who does that kind of shoddy work is called a cowboy builder. I hope they're watching this, to learn how to do it properly. Great video.

[@globalcommunityaffairs6585]

Thanks I need several examples of remodeling every room in a house on a budget. And some outside rock garden landscaping.

[@mycats7321]

I really like the beadboard and the doors. I'm glad you are saving them. I would have saved the old plinth blocks for something else. Stuff is so expensive now. I hate plastic grilles. They can be dangerous. We lived in an apartment that had plastic grilles around a swimming pool. One of them broke when my brother stepped on it, he fell through and broke his toes and foot in 6 places. I helped my friend tear up old floor in his grandmother's house and we found printed wall panels with flowers on them underneath. LOL. Good thing that tile was done wrong and came up so easily. A toiletmaster lift jack would have come in handy when pulling that toilet out. I see someone caulked all the way around the toilet instead of leaving a gap to allow water out so you could tell if there were leaks. Man, that sink did NOT want to come out! I know it's already a long video but I had wanted to see the floor leveling and the installation of the herringbone tile. I still hate mdf/particle board cabinets. I found a place that sells unfinished cabinets made with plywood and solid oak trim/doors/drawer fronts. They were heavier but much more sturdy & they only took two coats of paint and some touch-ups before I did a coat of poly on top. Pausing at the indentations on the beadboard when caulking is a good idea. I'm glad you mentioned that. My house has no baseboards but I plan to install some.

[@johnstratairious7936]

i really enjoyed the video...THANK YOU....for taking the time to make it and share it. nice job guys. looks great!!

[@thebundok]

Really hoping to see what you did with the sub-floor after ripping up the vinyl. Bummed we didn't get to see that. Otherwise, great video!.

[@REALITYRENOVISION]

[@ellenmcgrath8241]

I lived in a mobile home that had plastic grates, my 18mo. Old grandson fell through it. Up to his hip scared the crap out of both of us. I went and bought metal ones for the whole house.

[@terdsie]

Please, for the love of all that is good and holy, wear PPE when using an angle grinder. I know you've probably been doing it that way for years, but all it takes is *one* slip to make a good day into a bad month or more.

We puored new foundations years ago that expanded out already decent sized bath fifteen sq feet behind the tub and100 sq feet 9x11 Gonna move the tub/ shower and develop a huge mudroom/ laundry/ pantry. We have a full bath directly above this one. And DWV already developed. Time for first floor living and increased safety options. This is a good time to view your ideas as we want a decent bank of cabinets for nice storage and appearance

Wow! Usually you have a lot more finesse when it comes to demolition, but that countertop needed to be roughed up 😄

[@terrymcchesney383]

Got a kick out of hearing you backing off the plate screw and setting it with the slot vertical. I worked with my Dad since 1982 in his electrical contracting business, and we always set the screw vertical. We could always tell when someone messed with the devices on call backs because they'd never put the slots vertical. All 30+ electricians we had were trained to do the same. Finishes things off nicely. I enjoy hearing your attention to details, and desire to do the job right! Pride in workmanship!!!! Great job!!

[@arjrpr11]

Just subscribed . And here in Sri Lanka houses are build using bricks and some renovation methods are new to us. But I love the job you have done. Wish i could have a laundry room like that.

[@abladd]

A lot of homes in Mainland Europe are built with bricks/rocks with full concrete foundations, floors, & ceilings. Look for videos on remodels done in Spain, Germany, & Italy. In Eastern Europe - Bosnia, Serbia, & Croatia. It's a very different style of construction & installation. There is definitely some HUGE differences on how things are done from the US to other places. Hanging pictures (or anything for that matter) on a concrete wall is a very interesting (& frustrating) experience when you grow up with a "stick built" (lumber & drywall) house.
