Awesome work.can I please ask are you using staples or nails? Are you using grippers on inside? Absolutely perfect, not allowed to show it to my Mrs she would want it tomorrow. Thank you
I am using 9/16 staples from a duofast gun in that video no grippers on the Inside but is a good idea! If you need this carpet let me know! We ship worldwide And it’s easier than you think😀😀😀😀😀
This looks great. I want to do the same thing on my stairs. I just need to find the right carpet that “speaks to me”. I’ve even debated on using rugs and cutting them to fit. I want as low pile as I can get as carpet on stairs always looks crappy over time no matter how often you vacuum.
I would suggest Anderson Tuftex. They have a wide range of designs and patterns and the carpet is low pile and built tough to handle high traffic stairs.
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet thanks for this, and thanks for being so generous with your knowledge. I’m looking at using carpet tiles so don’t think I’ll need the kicker, just need it to be 100% secure. The other tools finish it off so well - obviously with your skill!
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet Wish I could send you a pic - it worked!! It actually worked!! I’ve only completed half the stairs, but your video gave me the confidence to use the electric staple gun, the appropriate number of staples to use, and to adjust it slightly by giving carpet tiles a try! Husband and teen are pretty impressed, thank you!
I should be able to do this with a runner, correct? I am not going edge to edge on walnut stairs, so would use this method with a runner so the walnut riser is exposed. Thanks.
Keith, Doing this project. I am using a runner bound on both edges, centered in the wooden stair. Should I still use the tack strips, like 2" shorter than the 24" runner? Thanks and Happy New Year. 31" walnut treads and risers, 24" runner.
Happy New Year😀 you don’t have to use Tack Strips if you don’t want to! It’s up to you! I have many videos with tack strip and without, lately I have been not using and the job has been great! As long as the pad is straight and no more than half an inch away, taking place of the tack strip ! Hope this helps
Question. How often you see stairs with just the tops? what's the best carpet for the job? and what kind of nails do I need. I have a stapler gun, just dont know if it is the same staples. Should I have padding in the nose or not?
It’s becoming more popular lately! A carpet stapler is best check out some of my other vids on that and the staples as far as pad is concerned yes to wrap the nose as long as you are wrapping tight otherwise can become a loose edge slip factor😄😄😄😄😄
Great question! And the answer is yes!!! You can glue the tack strips to the steel with construction adhesive! Or glue the pad and carpet directly to the steel😀
Nice job and thats some cool looking carpet. Don't you wish they made a staple gun that fits under all the steps without having to angle it ? That's the only part I never liked when doing steps. Mistake quote : ripping off the old carpet, pad, and staples was the only part I didn't like. 😆
That is a duo fast stapler that I’m using in the video! As far as the pneumatic one is concerned I’m not sure of the name but available at most flooring supply stores and I don’t think it’s that pricey! Just a plug in to a pancake compressor
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet I have and use the duo- fast too. I was curious about the air gun you mentioned. I have a friend who has a Craftsman staplegun that is rechargeable. It's discontinued but, it was handy but not small like the duo- fast and trigger response wasn't quick like duo-fast.I had to talk him into getting a duo- fast after I learned the sears staple gun I started with was a step up from his gun but steps down from the duo- fast.
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet no, they're not loose. it's a bit slippery, my family members slipped a few times. I want to make it safer before anybody got seriously injured.

Wow that’s awesome thanks so much

Stunning work! Can I ask, what are the other tools you are using, besides the staple gun? And how have you attached the underlay - glue/tape?
Thanks😀 underlay is attached with a hammer stapler as far as installation I am using a kicker a tucker a hammer an electric staple gun and a knife😀

Hi Keith, what is your recommendation? Do we put the risers first or after installing the carpet on the steps? I prefer after, will it be a problem?
I’ve never seen it done after! But I’m sure you could try!
How much to carpet just like this. Carpet landing and treads. I live west mississauga

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet Thanks for the info. Im in Colorado, but watch your videos. Very nice work.
@@oconuco no problem

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet 👍🏻 thank you 👍🏻 respect from Morocco 👍🏻
Can you put carpet on a steel stairway?
Great question! And the answer is yes!!! You can glue the tack strips to the steel with construction adhesive! Or glue the pad and carpet directly to the steel😀

You are soooo right! There is a gun that’s air powered that is tiny or smaller! But I do like my powerful plug in🤪
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet what's the name of this staple gun? Never heard anyone talk about it.
That is a duo fast stapler that I’m using in the video! As far as the pneumatic one is concerned I’m not sure of the name but available at most flooring supply stores and I don’t think it’s that pricey! Just a plug in to a pancake compressor

I will find out the name of the air gun
Wat is the cost of labor for a set of stairs like that
Quite a bit is all I can say
Good work body !!
Thanks Saul
What size staples did you use?
20 gauge 3/16 crown staples duo fast
Neat i hired u how you measure this?
Side to side /from riser to riser add 1inch for each
anyone has slippery issue with carpeted stairs? and does anyone know how to fix that?
Are they loose?
@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet no, they're not loose. it's a bit slippery, my family members slipped a few times. I want to make it safer before anybody got seriously injured.
If it’s slippery you might want to change it to a carpet that is more slip resistant! What carpet is on there now? Can you send a pic?
Looks really good these have always been a fucker to fit for me
Yeah I’m not the easiest specially with Anderson tuftex
Why do Americans use a stretcher on the stairs . Looks painful & awkward
Thanks
