Hi John! Thanks for the comment. Yes, I installed the flooring under the stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. I just shimmied them as best I could out of the way without uninstalling them completely.

Thanks so much Shawn!

As a lifelong flooring guy who grew up an installer and now has a flooring ecommerce site…. I been looking for possible YouTube videos to maybe share on out blog for our DIY customers….

I quite enjoyed your video and have subscribed to your channel!

Very good content, thanks..

Hi Melissa, I watched your video on your install of vinyl flooring – impressive! Enjoyed seeing your helper. My wife Cindy & I just spend 13k (really) having vinyl put through most the house (Coretec plus). It was installed by 2 men working for the flooring store we purchased it from, and they did it well, but our salesman never showed us pictures of what the projects finished look would be with quarter-round against our 3″ white/brown molding (the quarter-round is same sandy color of the floor). Worst of all is the crude, unfinished appearance of Q-round around doorways. We like the floor but kinda hate the “finished look” on the edges. They did not tell or offer to remove the existing moldings.. Cindy did some searching and found that’s what other consumers recommended, so that the expansion space would be under the edge of the walls. Any ideas or advice? Dale & Cindy (2/11 -Thanks Melissa.. Will consider this. And yes, sharp paint lines.. Dale)

I would suggest keeping the quarter round because reinstalling either the floor or the trim in order to remove the quarter round would be expensive and time consuming. Instead of having the quarter round matching the floor, I think it would look better to have it matching the baseboard trim. If your baseboards are painted, you can even use caulking to fill in any seams of the quarter round to make it look less crude around doorways, then paint the color to match. Be sure to use a precision paint brush and painters tape (or removed the quarter round to paint and then reinstall) so that your lines are clean. Best of luck and congrats on your new floor!
