Hey Al, new subscriber here. Not sure if I missed it, but how were you able to get away with having the stair nose flush with the laminate without some sort of expansion gap? I’m going to be matching my stairs and second floor to my main floor laminate soon and would like to achieve the same look you have. Also I’d like to tell you that your channel is great and your instructional style is wonderful.
Sean: Please review 3:17 to 3:30 showing how I glued and screwed the forward section of my stair nose down on top of the landing for maximum strength. Section 3:45 to 3:53 explains that I used shims underneath of my forward nose so the top of the laminate floor on the landing perfectly aligns with the top of Cap-A-Tread covering the stair nose. In addition, I filled the 1 ½ gap with shims (See 4:00 to 5:22). If you have additional questions or need more help, email me at abacon73@aol.com. If necessary, we can exchange phone numbers within our emails so I can give you more details. Otherwise, I appreciate your interest in my channel and subscribing.

Tania, I used these composite shims from Home Depot: www.homedepot.com/p/7-375-in-Bidrectional-Break-Composite-Shim-Bundle-of-12-SHIM-12-BD/321634110 Otherwise, I'm glad to hear that my video helped and I appreciate your interest in my channel.

Do you happen to know what the name of the color/pattern of tread that you installed? I have the same laminate that you have on the landing and I'd like to try and match it if they still sell it. Thank you.

Yore awesome! You answered one huge question I had for this, that the HD video didn’t cover! Can’t wait to watch your other videos too

How would you go about getting the cap a tread nose to run flush with the vinyl planks if the planks were thinner than the nose material?

Any chance you could post a summary as a comment for me and future viewers? I’m also wondering about this 🙂

@@LetsFixItRight thaaaank yoooou! Yes, I will subscribe.
Another question, did you use a table saw to remove the tongue or groove from the laminate?
