Wasn't planning on commenting but hats off to you. Thanks for the video great explanation
Glad you liked it! thanks :)
Great video straight to the point. The last tip of folding the extra carpet made everything look seamless.
Thanks so much! I just uploaded a new video. Check it out

Wow! Great video! I’ve watched a bunch of these and the others were old school with the grip tack strips etc and I love your use of the carpet tape!! Turned out beautiful and loved your runner choice!!
Aw thanks so much!! Its been a few years and it's just like I put it in yesterday.
I hope you subscribed :)
Great explanation! Simple and clear. Thank you.
Richard Chalmers glad I could help! Your welcome:)
Thanks for the great video 🙂 I installed a runner from Home Depot and rented a staple gun like you did. This helped me have the confidence to move ahead with the project
I’m so happy to hear I helped you!!
I like how informative, quick and "to the point your videos are"
Thankyou!! I want them to be quick and easy to follow. I personally don’t like when I have to try to find the POINT of the video I’m watching scrolling through their life story 😂😂
Brilliant video, straight to the point. Thank you
So glad you liked it! Hope I helped you out :)
Thank you for this, much better with the tape than the method I started with. Great video.
You're welcome! So glad it helped
Looks awesome Denika! 😍👌🏻 Glad you're on the mend! 👍🏻👊🏻
thanks fred! yes i am feeling MUCH better!
Love how straight forward and visual it is thank you
thanks so much! glad you liked it
Loved it, thanks for sharing!
glad you liked it! your welcome
This is so helpful! Now I think we can put a carpet runner in our new home ourselves instead of hiring someone..thanks for this informative video:)
Glad it was helpful! have fun with your runner project!!
Thank you so much for this. While I can't shop yet (been in lockdown since Dec 26th in my part of Canada) ... eventually when stores open up again, especially to get the type of runner you used (love it) ... then I'll be hopefully doing mine. Psst, staple guns are the cats meow in my tool box here at home!! Stay safe in your home and when you venture outside!
I hope your able to keep a positive mindset in your lock down! In Nova Scotia we have been so fortunate not to have a second one. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
I agree a staple gun is so crucial! Good luck on your install! 😊
I just uploaded my newest video. Let me know what you think!

Love this rug!
Thanks!! I got it from HD
Great video. Thanks for posting. Can you add where you purchased your runner? I love the color and pattern.
Hey! I'm about to do this (finally), and I'm wondering what is important when renting the staple gun? I see there are different kinds, and I want to make sure I get the right one. Hoping to rent it today and get it done! Thanks for this video!!!! I never would have done this on my own without it! I've watched it several times lol
This is great! Thank you :)
Molly Wilson Hey Molly! Your so welcome :)
Great stuff. No nonsense
I try to keep it straight to the point. I just uploaded two new videos, also quick and info-packed.
Thank you! Our stairs are a death trap as well. So slick! I was wondering how to carpet the stairs when we have no carpet anywhere else. I like how you just did the tread.
its so scary to have such steep stairs!! thankyou im glad you liked it :)Its
I'm not good at this stuff but certainly going to try! Thanks for sharing!
You can do it!

That looks very nice 👍
You do great work.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great work and HUGE kudos for being so incredibly handy as a woman. I do many project myself. Mutual admiration:).
thanks so much! Nothing we cant do :)
Well done looks lovely
thankyou!
You made this look so easy
Thank you😊
Carpet tape looks easier than padding.
Thanks! It’s really not very difficult n
great job, Denika!
thankyou!
She’s cute! Stairs look good, but wow!
haha Thankyou! :)
Gréât job, where dis you get your carpette ruiner ?
What a great video! Could your link where you got that runner? Please! It’s so nice! Thank you!
Looks terrific! I have been needing to finish mine and was a bit intimidated - but you made it look do-able! Thank you! Can you add a link for the runner?
seriously! its SO easy. im not sure your skill level but i bet anyone following this could do it. thankyou!! i tried to find the link online but i cant find this exact one, it is from home depot though and they have a ton of pretty options. i needed 21 feet for 13 stairs and a landing.
Looks great. Thanks for posting! I have an electric staple gun, not one that hooks to an air compressor, will this work too? I'm using a flat weave rug.
Kristen Barber yup it absolutely will! Even a Manuel one.
Great video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!!
de verda me impresionas con tus trabajo
sorry I wish I knew how to translate! RUclips should really have that option
Your runner is beautiful!
Thank you! 😊. I love it.
I also just uploaded a new video if your interested:)

You can do it!
Well done!
Thanks Rod!
Thank you so much! Great job!
Thanks. No problem. Are
You going to try it out?
@@dcwoodworks Yes, we are, thanks to you!!!
@@dcwoodworks May I ask what size staples that you used? Thank you!
Love the stairs with the carpet runner. I am getting ready to tackle this project, wish me well. Can you tell me where you purchase your rug runner. Love the design,
thanks! Im glad you love it, I got the runner at Home depot!
Very talented!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great job. We are about to do ours. Where did you get your carpet? We love the pattern.
Home Depot! Although I have had several people tell me its not on the shelves anymore. how did yours turn out?
Well done. Keep it up.
Thanks so much!!
Hi, awesome video! Where did you get your runner from, or what is the name of it? :) thanks!
thanks! I got it from home Depot :)
So pretty!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for that demo..about to do mine
Awesome! how did it turn out?
@@dcwoodworks I turned out really good..I was impress thanks to you
@@susieroberts8457 awesome! So glad I could help
I actually fell down my hardwood stairs as well. Beautiful job. Where did you purchase the rug?
oh no!!! I hope you are ok! I got this one from Home Depot
very nice video my wife and i will take that project at the beginning of the year, where did you find a runner that long and how wide is the runner you used. thanks
awesome! Im glad you found it helpful! I found this runner at Home Depot.
damn I like the way you work
thankyou!!
About to do my basement stairs. Too slippery for our one dog who isn't using a back leg. Do you regret not putting any padding underneath hindsight? Debating on using padding or not. Picking up our runner tonight or tomorrow night. Will install on the weekend.
I didn’t use padding because my runners quite thick. I don’t feel like it has more pros or cons. Just depends on if your runner is thin or not
You are super handy..thank you for sharing..would you mind giving the link for carpet you used.
Hey! thanks so much! I wasnt able to find it online but its a stocked runner at my local Home depot, I hope that helps!
Can you give me the information on the staple gun you used.. Excellent video, I want to use the tape instead of the tact srip.. Thank you
I rented it from home depot! I wish i had more details for you sorry!!
Well done
Navid Manuchehrabadi Thankyou Navid!
Incredible work, wow. Also, I’m in love with you oof
Thanks! Im glad you liked it, have you seen my newest video? ruclips.net/video/VMNnKXMK5FA/видео.html
Will the adhesive & staples hold up to steam cleaning the rug runner as needed?
They should. I just vaccum mine I don't steam it
Where did you get that rug and what is the length?! I love it and this is what I'm looking to do on my stairs.
I got it from Home Depot! Did you tackle yours yet?
Wow your amazing. Switched on girl 💪
Thankyou! I had a few more videos coming soon! hopefully you subscribed and you will get notified. Im editing them now
@@dcwoodworks brilliant I cant wait. And I definitely subscribed. Looking forward 👌.
I'm tackling this job this year (after putting it off) would you recommend laying an underlay under the rug or not?
Definitely not. A few years later and I think I might of actually overkilled it with tape. Staples on another job I did worked just as great.
Why staple on the binding?
Hi there!
Wow, it got really good 👍
Greetings from my Austrian channel
hey! thankyou. stay safe!
great job, you left out an important thing....how did you measure for the length rug needed for the stairs? Also I wonder how long carpet tape last to hold carpet down compared to old school tack strips.
I don't think I would trust carpet tape on the stairs, it would be a hard wipe out.
But to measure, use the Depth plus height of one stair and then multiply it by the number of stairs. add 2 or 3 for waste/ rolling voer the lip edged etc.
Did you nail the folded last step the same way you did with the other steps then and it was fine?
Yup! I did. It was great and still holding up well
Beaituful !!!! What size staples did you use?
thanks! honestly i am not sure, when I rented the stapler they came with it. They are just standard I think
Looks nice. Why no padding under the carpet?
It was pretty thick and didn’t need anymore.
Does this reduces wooden stairs quirking noise in any way? It looks easier to install instead of installing carpet for whole floors like professionals do.
it doesn't but if you have a squeaky stair and plan to install a runner, you can use screws to screw through the stairs to stop the squeak and then cover it with the runner. Hope that helps!
thank you, real simp,e and easy
No worries! Glad you liked it, I hope you subscribed
One thing I couldn't tell in video, what r all the places u staple, is it bottom of riser, back of tread, under the lip and sides? Where on sides did u put the staples? Right on that border edge or inside of the little border? Tks 😊 oh and what size staples? Sorry so many q's 🤦♀️
So sorry I didn't see this comment!
Theres no real rhyme or reason because the staples get burried in the rug, but definitely under the lip of the tread and where it bends. The staples are 16 guage! Hope this helps
Absolutely beautiful. The runner looks great too. Love your “how to” videos.
Glad you like them!
Im about to do mine but im torn between using underpadding or not. What led to your decision not to use padding? Thanks!
I personally felt like it was too many layers that could potentially slip or move. The rug I used is also super thick so if you have a thin one maybe?? But I definitely didn’t need it. Good luck!!
Looks so stylish, where did you buy stair runner ? would you add a link for the runner please.
thankyou! I cant find the link but i got it from Home depot
When you bought your runner did you buy a physical rug or were you able to purchase by the foot in a roll?
i bought it by the roll :)
You did a great job. Where did you get the runner?
Thanks so much! Home Depot :)
Excellent! Where can I get the carpet runner? Please let me know ASAP! Thanks 💜
Hey! I got it from Home Depot
Hey, what can I use on ceramic tiles? I won’t be able to staple my floors
Hey! Im not sure you could do it on tile unless you use a tile bit and drill them but that would be pretty invasive.
I wonder if it’s possible to add cushion under the runner?
Yes it’s absolutely possible!
What kind of carpet is that? It appears flexible & we’d love to get the exact kind. Thanks in advance!
i looked online but i cant find the link. i got it from my local Home Depot. check yours!
Loved, amazing work. Where is the runner from please 😃
thanks! I got it from Home depot
nice work
Dave’s Outdoor Stuff Thankyou!
Where did you get your runner? I love the pattern - do you have a link to the exact one?
I got it from Home depot!I have looked online but i cant find the link
Hello my staircase creaks a lot when I step on it. Will installing a stair runner help absorb the noise ? Are there any other alternatives ? Thanks again great video !!
Hey! I don't think it will help much with the noise BUT, if you screw through the treads to secure them to the stair stringers, a stair runner will hide that and it should stop the noise.
Girlllllll I love how you reply to like all of these comments lol. This looks super straight forward, I am looking to do this exact thing and was going to I hire someone, but I'm thinking I can pull this off 🤔. Is it more common to put some sort of underlayer? I assumed I would need that
haha I love chatting with people! Plus I appreciate the HECK out of anyone who will take the time to consume my content, my heart and soul goes into these videos.
I didn't see any underlay in some of the videos that I watched but its not a bad idea. I think it depends on the runner you are using. If its thick and plush, probably not essential but if its thinner and you want a bit more cushion, definitely do it!
@@dcwoodworks we have very very noisy stairs, so I was thinking it may help with that as well. If I were so skilled, I'd just redo the whole staircase. But, alas, I am not.
@@lydiastrain you just might be!
Here’s when I did mine. It was also my first time
ruclips.net/video/f1_4UefhYWY/видео.html
How did you measure to get the amount of carpet needed for this project?
I measure the treads and the risers and then added a few extra for waste
Where did tou get the staple gun and what power is it?
I just rented it from a tool rental shop nearby.
How long was the runner and how many stairs do you have? Great video.. I'm doing my stairs now so I'm saving it as my go to.
I have 17 stairs and the runner was about 26 feet long to start with. 3 feet wide. I didn't quite use it all. Good luck on yours!
@@dcwoodworks thanks for getting back to me.. I'll be using your video to help install mine 😊
Looks great! our whole family keeps slipping on our stairs, looking to follow suit 😃. What runner is that? Looks like it has good traction to keep you safe
Tyler Rowland oh you totally need one now too then! It’s from Home Depot. It’s woven so has a ton of traction. 20 feet was only 110$
@@dcwoodworks awesome, Thanks for the video too!
Tyler Rowland your welcome :)
Looks great. Where did you get the stair runner?
Thanks! I got it at Home Depot
If I did this and in the future I wanted to remove it can carpet tape be removed
I think so! with the proper adhesive remover/ goo-gone
Nice house and stair and girl 👍👍👍
thanks for watching!
Hi there! Where did you get the stair runner carpet? Can you share a link?
My wife ordered ours from Amazon
Did you use narrow crown staples? What size??
I used 18 gauge.
Nice job, Where did you get your runner??
Thanks! I got it from home depot
My question is how did you find a runner that long I know all stairs vary but what length did you purchase
I found mine at home depot, they sell it on big wheels and can pull off what you need.
Can I ask.. I know I'm late to the video. Did you fold the bottom piece? I couldn't quite make it out. It's a great video. I'm inspired ❤
No worries!! Yup I did. I actually used my hair straightener to put a crease it in (lol)
@@dcwoodworks brilliant! Yes , what a great tip , I'll do it over greaseproof paper thanks 😊 x
great vid. This was just what I was just looking for!! Although, baffles why Americans still use the imperial system lol
Glad you liked it! I’m Canadian! Lol
@@dcwoodworks so you should know better!! 🤣 jks. Thanks again, though
@@Scottyhutch1 bahahah definitely! We don’t learn imperial in school. Yet that’s the only thing sold and used in trades. It makes NO sense 😂
Where did you purchase your carpet runner for this project?
Home Depot in Dartmouth! I haven't been able to find it online but Its still in store.
Beautiful! How is it holding up a year later?
Hey! its great! hasn't moved or changed one bit I will defiantly do it this way again if I ever need to do another / if I move :)Its
Hi! Can I use staple gun on luxury vinyl stairs?
I don't suggest it no. maybe just carpet tape
So sad you fell. Carpet is a good solution BUT Bona makes a non-slip topcoat for stairs … Bona Traffic Anti-Slip. It looks beautiful and works great!!
oh wow I didnt know there was such a thing, Ill take a look! thankyou
Can you install this on existing carpet? My carpet looks rough and dirty.
I would think! theres wood treds under the carpet and the staples are long enough for sure
Can you share where you got your pretty runner? Thank you!
I got it from Home Depot :)
Did you order this off Home Depot website or get it in store? Are you able to order this length? Sorry lord of questions
No problem! I got in in store and I used 23 feet for 12 stairs and a landing :)
