I have my own house for three years now. I've bought many tools,8 boxes of laminate have asked for help over and over. I finally just went on you tube watched videos and taught myself how to use my power tools,paints sprayer etc. This weekend l will be attempting to lay my flooring....wish this 67 yr old lady good luck.!

My wife watched this and floored the WHOLE house! Well done, sir. 👏 👏 👏

This helped me immensely. I’m a 23 year old girl with her first house and I want to try and redo it to the best of my ability and you are helping so much. Thank you❤️

I’m 14 year old girl and this helped me sooo much! I floored my whole room perfectly.

I just spent 14minutes watching a video about laminated flooring and I dont even know why. This guys videos are strangely educational and relaxing.

Seems simple enough, can’t wait till I mess it up and have to call someone

I just turned 7 years old and purchased my first house as a butterfly breeder, Installed 2599sqft in 3 hours. Thank you so much

I just want to give you a MASSIVE Thanks sir! My daughter wanted this exact flooring done and I said yes but never led on that I've literally never done anything like this So I found this video that was very well presented and gave me the confidence to try it We ripped out her old carpet and followed your instructions and completed the project with ease You're awesome sir

As a retired Industrial Education teacher I am impressed with your videos and the amount of explanation you give with them. Many of the youth of today are not exposed to any of the trades much any more because schools have closed their programs or never had them to begin with. Keep up the great work.

Bro, I dig your style!! I'm a licensed tile setter in California. I really love your attention to detail. Any home owner that hires you is money well spent. You do good work!!

I’m a 45yr old man and after watching this, I’m gonna let the contractors do the floors. 😂

Excellent video! I have been in construction 30+ years, you demonstrated and explained everything very well! A personal tip; when I installed my quarter round, use a thin piece of cardboard or similar spacer to allow the floor to expand/contract without touching the quarter round or toe board. It also allows the use of tape, or wide putty knife, under the quarter round if you need to paint it without touching the flooring.

My husband and I are doing this to our house tomorrow. Pray our marriage survives 😊

I don’t know why im watching this i don’t even own a house

This is by far the most helpful video I’ve seen about installation. Thanks so freaking much for your breakdowns and clear explanations ❤️

I'm 4 years old boy and I floored me whole house! Thanks you!

I cant begin to thank you, me and my mom are doing the floor in the living room by ourselves and have watched tons of videos in our language (norwegian) and we just couldn't get it right, and we had given up until i saw this this video and it worked like a dream and we did 40 m^2 in under 2 hours!!!! thank you!!

I've been watching videos on installing laminate flooring for a week now, and after watching this one I believe I can successfully install it on my own. I plan on repairing my grandma's bedroom. It has moldy 50 year old carpeting that is really aggravating her allergies. There aren't any men around the family that are really capable or interested in doing the job for her. So I'm gonna put on my Bob The Builder hat and do it my damn self. Thank you for making this process seem doable for me.

This was my 1 st time watching at vinyl plank flooring video. I'm a woman on my 3rd home. I've always hired someone to do everything in my home until I started watching KZfaq. Now I think I know how to do everything LOL.., WELL it's working. I'm saving allot on money. However, I'm wanting remove cream carpet and put hardwood flooring throughout my 1 st level. By watching your video i understood your process and will start my project in November. keep up the good work and Thank you for you sharing.

Hello DIY Creators, my next door, he is in his mid 20's, and I installed laminated flooring in the living room and the dinette of my place. Neither my friend nor I had any prior experience, we watched your program and followed the full, half, and one quarter sequence you explained in this program. We are very happy with the results...thank you very much and Blessings

do you realize in 4 months you have 2 million 200 views? you have given one of the best how to videos on this subject i have ever watched. great job! excellent presentation

My brain: That's easy, no big deal. My hands: You come down and do it!

Ive just bought my first house with my wife and honestly have no idea about diy, but lots of things id like to do. Your videos are the most clear, concise and easy to follow for a noob like me. Actually gives me confidence in tackling projects myself now. Im from the uk so i have to translate some of the terms, but honestly, its worth it. Easy subscribe mate, thankyou!

Very professional video. Your camera person is to be commended. Like how you clearly explain how and why you are doing everything. Reading other comments you clearly helped them do their own laminate floors, gave them the confidence they need. Well done!!!!

Great video! We are remodeling a rental for quarantine and my 15 year old daughter watched the video and installed the flooring with the some help from her 14 year-old cousin. The girls did a great job. My husband was there to help with some of the more difficult cuts. The house is about 750 square feet. All that's left to do is the transition pieces. Thanks for the video!

wow... I rehab apartment rentals and put this laminate floor EVERYWHERE. I sent this to all of my guys to show them the proper way to get a great finish product. Awesome work.

Jeff from Home Renovision has saved me on so many projects but this is by far the best video I’ve ever seen for installing LVP. Sooo informative. I appreciate it my guy!

I've done a few floors myself. Your video is simple,easy to understand and will be a great help to lots of first timers. Great work!🎉

Where's the part on dealing with screwing it up and having my wife yell that I should have just paid someone to do it

This video shows the difference between a DIYer and a true craftsman. We can all be DIYers, but not all of us can be a craftsman. Outstanding video and it truly shows why people should hire someone like you for certain jobs.

Thank you so much. My dad was a construction worker and showed me how to do a lot of stuff but since I have moved to Belgium I dont have easy access to dad cause of time zone difference and work hours. I appreciate the video and clear instruction

I love this. I've watched several videos and I've noticed all the others had so many gadgets that I'm sure we're not cheap, spacers and other tools. This video showed how I can cut my own spacers instead of buying fancy expensive ones as well as not needing other fancy tools. I'm on a tight budget and I appreciate this.

I have to say that this is the first diy video on flooring that the guy actually knew what he was talking about.I have been doing all types of flooring for forty years and I'm impressed.100% my friend.Keep up the good work.I also like your woodworking vids.

Good job on the video! I like how you pointed out the problems you had and didn't just skip over them, because we always run into problems when doing a job and its nice to see how someone else handles them.

Hey thanks for the video! I've done construction all my life but I've never installed laminate flooring. But, just like you, I'm going to install a laminate floor for a friend of mine. Your presentation was clear and easy to follow. What I liked most was your calm, can-do attitude. I'm sure I'll be hearing your voice as I do this job! Thanks!

I'm updating a room in my mom's home, now that's she passed. It was so over due &she hated that room. I'm making it my office. And I wanted a light colored floor because this room has great lighting. Watching this tutorial took all my worries away. Floor going down right now. Thank you, I'm hooked!! New subscriber to your Chanel. Again thank you!

Big shout out to CAULK!!!! Always there to cover up my imperfections 💥💥💥 my girl is like wow it's perfect😁

I really enjoy watching your videos. Just wanted you to know, (if you were unaware) that laminate floors do not fluctuate like other flooring. On a scale of 1-10 on fluctuation it's a 0.01. The laminate has come so far now days and this is a common mistake. Just wanted you to know what I just found out. Not meaning to be a got ya moment. Just wanted to share what I just learned the other day. Please know I have the most respect for you and what you do. Your amazing.

Never done a floor install before, but after watching this through I fell A LOT more confident in doing it now. Great video! Thanks!

My Dad Owned his flooring company .. if he was still around and could see this Video I promise you would be running the company... Demonstration well done...

I didn't have time to watch the whole install, just wanted to say I'm glad you had the initial message about getting into a trade. People working minimum wage should really consider learning a skill, even people in their 30's or older.

Me watching him using tools i never heard of while I only have a hammer,a kitchen knife, and screwdriver 👁👄👁

Building my own tiny home. Don't have any experience. This was a well thought out and well put together video. Thank you. I'm doing this all the next three days.

Thank you! You are well informed and easy to understand. My father is a carpenter but never has the patience to teach me :). After getting an estimate for over 5.6K to re-floor my upstairs, I decided to take it in my own handy hands!! This video is a $$$ saver.

I missed my calling. I love building projects, painting and tiling. Im a lifetime student of KZfaq University. Everything I have tackled I have learned here. Thank you for this video, I really appreciate the break down.

As a framer I want to say the intro to your video is awesome. I went from struggling in a dead end job in a kitchen to a framing crew foreman in under 5 years. I never thought I'd be where I am today. We're in a housing boom to boot. Now is a great time to get into construction.

Well done! Really like the way you did the quarter round. We are leaving the base boards down on our remodel, so I’ll use the tips you provided. Will definitely be cutting my door jams first thing, just in case I need to start at the door instead of a wall like you mentioned.

I have watched hundreds of flooring videos, this was by far the most helpful!

I learned to peel forward with a pry bar. When you pull it, it tends to rip out chunks of the bare concrete floor.

Thank you for using quarter-round that matches the baseboards and not the flooring! I don't know who ever thought that matching the flooring is good look.

Seriously thank you so much for posting this! The people that sold me my house left extra laminate for rooms they didn’t get to and I’ve been stressing about whether I can diy it. Great tips!

Impressive video! I'm confident now I won't let my husband down. We're building a storage/shed/tiny house for a client & he put me in charge of the flooring. Laminate flooring is a little "over the top'" for storage , I know, but then again, so is insulating the attic! Lol ..like I said it's more like a tiny house 🏠 thanks again

I made some mistakes with my cuts installing my daughters bedroom floor many years ago. I learned from my mistakes with a price tag. Installing laminate floors became very simple now with practice. The wood Grain looks better faceing towards the long side of the room. Great Job! Looks good.

How can someone dislike this it clearly says for beginners, And if you’re a pro why even come here to watch the video, I’ve never done this before but thanks to this video I’m ready for it, I guess lots of beginner thought they could do better than this LOL

Just bought a renovation project,need to do the floors…never done it before, thank God for KZfaq

Solid video, and great job on the floor. I am installing flooring in my living room and wanted a refresher since I haven't done this in years. Very clear and easy to understand.

IDK WHY SOME PEOPLE DISLIKE THIS, THIS GUY IS A WOOD GENIUS

I’ve watched a lot of videos on KZfaq. And I really find it hard to watch some videos based on the verbal description I am receiving in the video editing that was presented. I can say hands-down without a doubt I love every video you’ve ever done your descriptions are on point in your video editing is fantastic it’s simple and it’s concise and directly to the point. If there was a nomination for KZfaq videos. I would do my utmost to help you become number one. I love all of your videos keep going man

This is the best video I have ever seen to lay flooring for a beginner. Thank you so much. Very well done!

As a professional flooring installer I appreciate your video. I can tell by your workmanship that you're super handy. I personally prefer a random stagger with the material. I believe the manufacturer recommends each board is staggered double the width of the material..

I’ve watched maybe 15 videos and you made it the absolute simplest for me. All the others get way too technical for such a simple DIY home improvement project. Thank you!

I’m so glad this was in my recommended! My mom and I are trying to decide how to redo our gross 80s stick on vinyl to something else and this seems very doable

Choosing the direction of the boards should also take into account where the light source of the room is. Boards should be placed along the light, since placing them perpendicular to the light will bring out any streaks left behind by mopping.

Thanks again. I’m taking the giant leap of faith and starting small with my laundry room. Wish me luck

Glad this was the first video in my search on how to do this. I have a lower level that needs the nasty ol' indoor/outdoor carpet removed and laminate is what I want to re-floor it with. Thank you for making a straight forward and easy video. You make it look easy anyhow.

Hey man I’m a floorlayer and I like watching these videos just to learn a new thing everyday I just wanted to let you know aswell that you could use a spray adhesive for the underlay on the ends and through the middle it’s sticks perfect and it provides and extra layer underneath!

The daughter with her safety glasses 🙂. When my dad was building our house (decades ago) I loved hanging around and helping him.

Looks great I'm a contractor for years.. I've done several of these floors for customers thanks to videos like this .

All of the dads are coming here for the quarantine

I did my two rooms. Took me 2 & 1/2 days. Approx 26 hrs for both rooms. It’s pretty interesting and challenging task. Loved it!

I removed some flooring in our living room and I want to re-use the old flooring in my motorcycle room/shop in the garage. Thank you for showing this how-to project.

Really nice video! Thank you for this. I work in construction myself but didnt put laminate yet, and a friend asked me to come over and help him, this video is all i needed. Thank you again

This really helped me out! Your voice is so soft too, helped keep my head level with an overwhelming project! Thanks a bunch. My office is going to look awesome thanks to the help of this video!

Watching this just reinforced the idea that I need to hire a pro. I couldn't possibly do this and have it look this good.

Beautiful job. Thank you for the personable walk through of the job. We watched, learned and installed a great floor because of your great instruction!!

As a retired pastry chef, I applaud your work.

This video is so helpful, my dad and I just finished up our new laminate flooring in our living room area and we used a bunch of your tips! The idea to miter and cap off the quarter round turned out great, something we had never considered before.

Nice to see some laminate! I sell floors for a living, and to many people are hung up on LVP because it is waterproof. It doesn't matter how waterproof your floor is, if you have the flood that you are worried about, you are going to be replacing the flooring anyway... best to target your rooms with the flooring that serves it the best. If you want durability, and scratch resistance and don't want to rock tile, you will not do better than a good laminate, and some of the good quality product through companies like Shaw and Mohawk ( a personal favorite of mine) can be wet and steam mopped. LVPs are still a better choice for bathrooms, but laminates are awesome for heavy traffic areas if you have large pets or particularly aggressive kids! No matter how thick your wear layer is on a vinyl, it just means there is more plastic to scratch before it gets to the laser scanned picture. A laminate's wear layer is far more resistant to that sort of damage.

I'm FLOORED by this great video tutorial! Cheers from Sweden!

Have to give ya props! Not only did you do a great job, but your video, in my opinion, was one of the best I've seen.

A couple of points that I found helpful when I installed laminate flooring for the first time. I removed all of the baseboards and I numbered them on the back, I then made a sketch of the room and I wrote the number of the baseboard on the sketch in the position I removed it. This made it easier to reinstall the baseboards. My baseboards were stained and varnished oak and after 20 years they got scuffed up so I used this opportunity to refinish them. All I did was clean and lightly sand them and then I used a combination stain and varnish. When I used a jigsaw I purchased reverse cut blades. (blades that cut on the downstroke instead of the upstroke, this way the cut did not mar the finished side. I also purchase flooring that had the foam pad attached, less work not having to lay down a pad. On very long runs I used about 3 inches of duct tape to hold the boards together so they did not snap apart. Any area that the boards might come into contact with water (around the kitchen sink, under the dishwasher, bathroom, near exterior doors, etc.) I used waterproof glue so if they got wet they would not warp. They now have vinyl boards so I don't think the water damage is an issue if you use them.

You did a wonderful job there! I'm going to laminate a room in my house soon, and watching your video gave me some great tips! Thanks! and best regards from England!

Looks AMAZING!!! And thank you so much for showing a little girl with the wood. I'm so glad my Dad didn't think I couldn't work with my hands because I was a girl.

You make it look so easy. Saving money to redo my office floor. Thank you for showing me how it's done.

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve watched many over the past 6 months while I my supplies sat in my garage. Your video gave the the confidence to try. I just finished my first bedroom closet. Now onto the rest of the house!

Fantastic job man! As an artist, I would say (in general, and second to laying it on the longest direction), is laying the boards in the direction of the main window, so that the daylight captures the perspective lines of the flooring (as you've done here).

This was so helpful. My husband removed all the carpet in our house, now all we have is wood subfloor... We have the new flooring but haven't installed it yet... Now I know how too. Thanks

I need a neighbor like you. I was watching the video because my sister and I are going to try to tackle the floors ourselves. So I may have to watch it again, but I am going to start as you suggest and remove any on the door that sticks out

Nicely done, I think after watching this, I'll attempt this in an upstairs bedroom. Thanks for your time.

Wow, this was really informative, now hubby and I just need to pray to get a house so that we can do this to

You are making this look so easy, my husband is now disabled, so I need to learn these things, thank you for this

Man I should’ve watch this before installing my laminate floors. I really botched it up. Live & Learn. Thanks for this video.

love the end piece on the quarter-round trim...definitely have to use that!

This is a very professional, efficient and careful explanation for the installation of laminated flooring. I have been designing in a flooring factory for more than 10 years, and I know the process very well.

You really did a nice job on this! I've put down laminate flooring before and it's not too hard. But, you gave me some good tips watching you. Thank You!

This video saved my life I am taking up all my carpet and putting in new floors

He starts by sweeping. Me: I got this! He proceeds. Me: Awwww what?

He did an awesome job and explained everything perfectly..

This was so helpful! I’ve done a few projects but nothing with laminate flooring. This was a true step by step!!!!!

Thank you for this video. I had a leak in my foundation and had to remove my old laminate. After repairs I've decided I'm going to try to reinstall new laminate myself. Thank you for the tips and wish me luck. Keep the videos coming please.🙏🏾❤🤞
