    Wow best how-to plank flooring video I’ve seen, comprehensive and doesn’t spare the details. The close-up of the joints is especially helpful. This is the only install video you need. Thank you!
  • I am a middle-aged female doing the DIY stuff. Out of all the videos that I've seen, this has got to be the most detail oriented. Clear to understand specific how to floor video that I have seen. He shows close-ups of the plank so it's easy to understand what he means when he's trying to lay the floor. two thumbs up .. This will be the only video you need!!
  • Putting the flooring against the wall instead of spacers is brilliant. After struggling for a day, trying spacers, and shims, nothing worked! Came across your video and wow! Couldn’t wait to try your suggestion. It worked perfectly. We also realized the Mohawk vinyl flooring was not going together well, like the flooring you put down. Returned it to Costco, bought Lifeproof, and yippee! It was so easy! Thank you soooo much. My hubby and I are 68 and 77 years old. With your help, we did it ourselves!
  • @reyesrr12
    This is the only video I watched without skipping/fast forwarding. Great directions and tips. Thank you!
  • @jackie123469
    Thank you - this was exactly what I needed! I’m a single 29 year old girl with no home improvement experience and I needed an in depth video like this to show me if this was really something I could do on my own. Your explanations were so useful and have given me the confidence I needed to take this project on! Thank you
  • @patsyruss3910
    Excellent "how to" instructions. Very straightforward, gets to the point & no "crap" to have to listen to. This guy really knows how to demonstrate & get perfect results. He uses the basic tools-no need for expensive install kits, etc. By far the best instructional video I have watched on youtube.
  • @patpanama910
    Thank You for caring enough to help strangers, my vinyl planks are coming out of the box tomorrow, again thank you for your help.
  • I have watched a lot of install LVP before I start the install. This is by far the best tutorial for LVP. He does attention to detail and step by step with visual and simple instructions. THANK YOU!
  • @kiayang1992
    I'm a first time home owner and has never done any sort of renovations before. You video is SO helpful, especially with the closeups to show the lip and lock parts. Thank you SO much!
  • @dondouglas9136
    This might literally be the most helpful tutorial/instructional video I’ve ever seen. Thank you for going through the detail and showing the step by step approach. Great video!!!
  • @horusgod6038
    This is the only video I’ve seen with clear explanations and actual visual examples. By far the best video I’ve found on floor laying. A+
  • Greetings from UK, First time home owner here. I am getting ready to lay my laminate flooring this weekend. While I have to lay the sublayers separately as they are not part of the tiles themselves, I found your video extremely useful as the technique you are describing is simple and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing this video and for your instructions. Regards, Christos
  • This was probably the most simplest tutorial I could ever ask for! Glad YouTube suggested that I watch your video!
  • @virgodee911
    These instructions and up close work examples are the best!!! Thank you so much for taking time to teach. 😊
  • Thank you for the info!! I attempted to do flooring last night and got totally frustrated and was ready to give it up to a professional. After watching your video, I picked up some simple tips to keep me going myself!
  • Glad you showed how to fit under the door trim. lot of beginners have not idea of the tricks that carpenters use to make a job easier. Hats off
  • @oz7646
    I am a new follower now and let me tell you, I have been youtube shopping around for the right one to help me put my own flooring in. You made me feel so much more confident in knowing I CAN do it myself. Ppl want to charge thousands of dollars to do this. Thank you for saving me. I am ready to tackle this project on! 👍
  • @lancewebley7449
    Perhaps the best video I've seen yet on installing vinyl plank flooring. Saves money and stress, too.
  • One of the best, most common sense instructional videos I've ever seen! Thank you!
  • THANK YOU!!! My husband has been trying to learn the best way and I couldn’t find a video starting with “This is easy… “ and proceeding to flip out fast, non detailed instructions with mega power tools that truly left me throwing this project under “Let’s just keep procrastinating…” lol. Thanks much for the easy tool list, scrap tips and detailed project instructions without just talk without action for the first half of the video! Going to Home Depot now….🙂
