Thanks a lot!
Damn, that was the quickest, get straight to the point video I ever seen on TH-cam!! No 5 min intros with stupid jokes! Congrats buddy!!
Thanks for your attention to my videos!
Nice quick, straight to the point. Thanks :)
Thanks!
VERY WELL DONE. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH FOR THE VIDEO.
+Devu Patel Thank you, my friend!
Just what I needed. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
you really are the best. i do this and you are a master. Really
Thanks for your opinion!
Thank god my stairs don't have an open side :) Looks like a lot of extra work. Well done, thanks for sharing.
+Stephen Black Thank you for watching!
Are the stairs still within code tolerances
Thats a great video. I am currently working on my bedroom adn i was wondering the best way to the the stairs. Now I know how...... Where can Iget the bull nose part?
Hi Alberto, the supplier of your hardwood floor material also should offer the nosing and transition as well. Thanks
Hey great video doing the same kind of stairs with rails what do recomend to cover the risers on the sides
Hi Junior, here it is - th-cam.com/video/OIAOByLzoAM/w-d-xo.html
Hey, thanks for the very well done video. I'm doing our stairs that are open on one side most of the way. What do you do about the end of the riser that is left showing?
Hi Dem, here is one option - th-cam.com/video/OIAOByLzoAM/w-d-xo.html, there is another one - th-cam.com/video/sAyxEAcfXaI/w-d-xo.html
1x1" 90 degree stain to match
Great video series, thanks for posting. What size nails do you use for this?
Bob...
18 gauge, 1,5"
i think 24 gauge its better than 18 .. you dont need to fill up the nail marks after ward
Nice work my friend. At 0:37 I see you made some shallow cut on the riser. Is it to adapt unevenness of the stair (the stringer). What about the step(tread)? Do you also make shallow cut on the tread if you have to?
Hi, yes I do.
When is the best time to install the baseboard with vinyl flooring on stairs...before or after laying it?
After you install vinyl.
what about after the glue is dried, would the glue be strong enough to hold the stair nose? I've been reading that is important to face nail using a 16GA gun nailer.
Yes, glue is very strong. I guarantee it from my experience!
How would you cover up the side cut of riser? I'm looking around the Internet for the way to trim the riser side without miter joint with face stringer, but there was none.
Hi,I have few ideas about it:1. th-cam.com/video/OIAOByLzoAM/w-d-xo.html, 2. th-cam.com/video/sAyxEAcfXaI/w-d-xo.html
+MrYoucandoityourself thanks, the first one look really good and low profile, will save me a lot of time
I am happy to help you.
Dang it man?! Why must you have to make it looks so easy? LoL thanks for a nice quick video... What kind of nails did you use? It would have been nice if you showed what type, size did you use and glue and why etc...
Please read the comments here. I already gave the answers to these questions.
Do you have anything to show the back miter that you do in the first few seconds of the video? I cannot figure out an easy way to do that!
Hi Wyatt, Here it is - th-cam.com/video/OIr9gWgya4g/w-d-xo.html
Excellent video. Hello, my friend, I have a similar project to this video but with 3/4 thick red oak wood. Could you tell me what type of nail and nail gun to use THANK YOU
Hi Alejandro, is it unfinished or prefinished floor?
@@MrYoucandoityourself
thank you for answering me; The woods are not painted, as it is better to paint them before or after putting them
Hi Alejandro, you can use nails 1'1/2" - 18Ga. For painting and finishing I recommend you invite professional floor finisher. It's not easy to do, believe me. Thanks.
How exactly did you scribe the line on the end piece to get it to be flush with the side stringer? Did you just hold the pencil flush to the stringer and use it to draw the necessary angled line to cut on the miter saw? This is at the :52 mark
Hi Kevin, yes, I just attach pencil to the stringer and made line. Easy.
Great video...I am trying to install bamboo floors on my stairs and the mail gun is able to shoot nails through the wood. The wood is pretty thick. Should I just use liquid nails? Thanks for your help.
I would use a pin nailer 23 gauge
MrYoucandoityourself We plan to install strand woven bamboo on the stairs too using the floor material plus stair nose, not the solid one-piece stair tread. Would 23 gauge pin nailer be strong enough to hold? Should I also use 23 gauge pin nailer for the corner where the miter joint of stair nose is? Manufacture recommended pneumatic finish nailer or 7d or 8d hand nails to top nail the first 1-2 rows when installing floor. So I assume we can top nail the stair tread and stair nose too after putting on the glue, but I don't think it'll look good with the nail holes even after we fill them. I saw another video of yours where a brad nailer is used for the first 1-2 rows. Thanks for your advice.
Michael,
Do you also have strand woven bamboo? What type of nails did you end up using? What's the pressure setting? Thanks for sharing your experience.
What do you do about the back side angle of return nosing? Is it just left open?
Hi Pamela, here is will help you. Watch with attention, please. Thanks. th-cam.com/video/cuNNhddPAGw/w-d-xo.html
Hello.
Then you use nails as much as on this time how you remove the marks and hole from bords?
I used 23 Ga nails. It’s not visible, but by the end I filled holes with filler. Thanks
What did you end up doing with the open cut edge toward the outside of the riser?
Hi Brian, thanks for your question! Here is two option:
1.th-cam.com/video/OIAOByLzoAM/w-d-xo.html - corner from same material.
2.th-cam.com/video/sAyxEAcfXaI/w-d-xo.html - decorative corner.
I hope this videos will help you!
It looks GREAT!!! Why not take up the tread and put a full tread instead of stacking a new tread on an old tread? I'm trying to understand.
Where in this video you found old tread?
@@MrYoucandoityourself Pardon. I guess not old tread. I said I'm trying to understand. I've seen in videos where they took off carpet and cut the tread flush with the riser then put a hardwood on top if it. This looked similar to me. That's why I ask the question.
Yes, this is the same idea, here is new house only.
What do you do with the open corner of the stair nose at the back of the tread?
Hi, here is one option - th-cam.com/video/OIAOByLzoAM/w-d-xo.html, there is another one - th-cam.com/video/sAyxEAcfXaI/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for sharing. On what kind of surface are you working on?
Sorry, I don't understand your question. What are you meaning - surface?
He would probably refer on the stairs structure , as in my country we do steel concrete core , and brick work houses !
hey buddy, so if ive got concrete stairs I need to fix plywood before flooring goes on? just glue plug and screw i suppose? thanks
Always before.
that track hittin son
hello, i am installing prefinished teak hard wood flooring throughout the upper floor. i have finished the first room and am going to start on the next bedroom then continue into the hallway. i plan on having a transition piece from the 2nd room to the hallway, only because i'm doing it room by room. will this look ok ?
What type of installation? Glue?Nail? Floating?
Nailing
Just curious how did you finished the side of the riser? Did you have a piece of trim?
Here are few different options:

2. th-cam.com/video/sAyxEAcfXaI/w-d-xo.html
3. th-cam.com/video/DvFhXqmWxOo/w-d-xo.html
Hello, Can you install treads/steps without nosing? What is its real function? I have a closed-sided staircase and considered treads without adding nosing. Please advise.
I made it just once in my professional carrier. The role of nosing is your safety when you step down (to avoid your heells slippering). I recommend to install them.
is nail of that Pin Nailer strong enough to hold the nose?
Hi, for temporary - yes, before glue getting dry. Thanks for watching and your question!
Where did you get the flush stair nose? I can’t find it. I don like the overlap
Flooring suppliers can provide flooring material with nosing as well. If your nosing bigger, you can rip off from the bottom.
just picked up my wood floors and stair nose, however, seems like my stains from wood floor and stair nose don't really match. Is this common for the stains?
If you buy floor and stair nose made by manufacturers - they ALWAYS MUCH. If you order stair nose as additional material to your hardwood - they can have a little difference in the color (not too much!).
MrYoucandoityourself Actually, the majority of manufacturers outsource their mouldings to other companies so it is quite common for a nosing or moulding to be a little off in color, milling or finish. It's as close as you'll get though.
Yes, you are right, my friend.
excellent choice of music. other youtubers need to notice this funky shit
You can mute sound.
@@MrYoucandoityourself im not being sarcastic
Hi can the laminate installed on stair that is made of regular wood not plywood
Yes I do it a lots. Check my videos about laminate and vinyl installation on stairs. Most videos I did over the wood installation. Thanks!
What do you use the cover the exposed edge of the riser?
Please find my video "Hardwood Stairs: Installing Decorative Angle Bead" and you'll get an answer.
if you use a skirtboard and put a 45 on the end of the riser as well as the skirtboard you don't need to cover the end because they are mitered to each other.
what about trimming the riser open edge??
Depends on what budget for a project.
Good Job but, how did You finished side of stairs. When you installed the raisers of stairs and how about those gap lines on the side between existing stairs and risers?
I’m asking because I have same situation and I don’t exactly know what to do. Leave those gaps ugly or patch them with bondo sand them, paint them and wait till they crack .

@@MrYoucandoityourself man! I love this idea. You make my work much easier. Thank You.
Hi there, where can buy that product? Nosing and riser
In flooring store.
What the tapes for? I can see three tapes on the tread.
This tapes help me keep the boards together.
I think now . how stairs side closed, what material .
+steven zhang You'll need decorative angle.
Hi thank you for the video - what length pins were you using with the pin nailer?
I used 1"1/2 nails.
MrYoucandoityourself thank you, I see a lot of people using 18 ga nails, do you think the 23 ga pins are enough? I'm about to do my stairs and the pin hole would be ideal. I'm going to be using 1/2 inch thick bamboo engineered
I will also be gluing them down
23 ga nails are very good for engineered hardwood floors and laminate. They are able to keep it strong, make small holes and don't leave bumps.
MrYoucandoityourself thank you for your help!
You're welcome!
would you still recommend using a pin nailer on the nosing?
Yes, I always used.
@@MrYoucandoityourself thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!
The pin nailer is by far the best esthetically, the pin nailer it is!
@@Krutov-9 Yes!
Whats with all the pieces of tape ?
Watch whole video, please.
What about the end showing on the stair back? Vertical between the two treads.....
+scramblendan Just watch here: th-cam.com/video/sAyxEAcfXaI/w-d-xo.html
+MrYoucandoityourself Thanks
You are welcome!
what is the tape used for?
+L Coloma Scotch 1.41 in. x 60.1 yds. Painting Production Masking Tape
The tape is to see if the sides are straight or not
@@xyligan4ik Thanks, but what exactly do you mean? They help to line up the sides? Like the gap between tread and riser?
Do you have to seal cut edges on nosing?
Yes I do if need it. Thanks!
@@MrYoucandoityourself Thanks!
Was your stair nosing red oak or was it also laminate?
This is walnut solid wood nosing and walnut engineered wood.
Do you do work in Toronto area? I have job for you
Hi Yaser, In Toronto more professionals than you think. :-)
How did you get the nose edge
Hi Yo, I don't understand your question, sorry.What the edge?
Yo Kells you can buy the stair nosing separate I believe
Can anyone answer why his returns are pre cut?
Because this is the way install it properly! Thanks for watching!
@@MrYoucandoityourself that doesn't make any sense at all. Thanks!
Hello Friend how are you? I want to ask what kind of tiptoe use for your airgun?
1 1/4 - 23 Ga
thank you my friend for your help
You're welcome!
You cut the back of the side nosing half at 45 and half straight . Did you just do a return in the backm Video doesn't show.

This doesn't look like hardwood to me...it is?
This is walnut engineering hardwood floor with bull nose. Expensive material.
looks like laminated MDF
Agreed, if its hard wood then must be a laminate, solid timber would be consistent in the colour after cutting, and ita clearly to flexible to be solid. Nice installation none the less
Solid Jarrah T&G. $150 m2 custom routed bullnose

this is just a cheap way to do stairs, traditional stain grade treads and painted risers installed by a seasoned finish carpenter can't be beat imo
You better know how to do it. Thanks for watching!
Just my opinion, there are always uses for new products to offer a customer. Every situation is different, thanks for sharing the video. I'm starting the stairs next week in my house since the flood.
q electron . It's not cheap, I'll do same but nail at the tongues and the bullnose just glu it, looks more professional and clean.
Corner give the problems
I don't have any problem with corner.
Cheaply made houses require cheaply made stairs and this fits the bill.
My friend, this house was sold for $11 ml.. Maybe for you it cheap.
When you hear what I have to say you won't be calling me friend any longer... First "$11 ml" is actually read as $11 milliliter... I guess you mean 11 Million Dollars. Seriously $11MM?! On what planet? Unless the buyers are from stupid town and found the money by the river. You're using 3/4" plywood with a 1/32" veneer for treads! On top of another layer of CDX! I have never ever seen this done before. Drop your keys on the tread and you'll see the cheap plywood right through... Cheap is cheap no matter how much you were duped to pay for it.

Thanks for watching.
Please be safe. I think Vinyl, Laminate, and hardwood are all dangerous on stairs. I know carpets are dirty. I think using a easily replaceable carpet runner may be the best way to go. You only have to fall down from a slippery stairs once to realize carpet is the safest option. Since permanent carpet is too hard to replace therefore I recommend a runner option.
Thanks!
and when its done...it looks like you used flooring and nosings to make a staircase!..
Yes, you are right!
That's not "Hardwood Flooring" it's a bunch of composite garbage held together with construction adhesive. But then again, I guess it matches all the other crap that houses are made out of today.
Hi Mattywho, thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your opinion!
Wrong!!! Always tread first then, risers. Work from bottom up.
It's only your opinion.
@MrYoucandoityourself it's not my opinion. If you start from the bottom each riser helps lock in the next tread all the way up. It's a pure fact. Not to mention, with any expansion or contraction the riser will cover that gap in the seam. Plus, you add brad nails to that tread that the riser will also cover.
@@eats76 I don't like stepping on the new stair tread and walking up and down over just made staircase. But you do what you are doing. My rules are - don't walk over the new stairs the next 12 hours after installation. Thanks!
Too complicated
I agree with you.
I'm sure you're videos are informative, but as soon as I hear irritating music (distracting) rather than verbal explanation of what's being shown, I turn them off!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
so the purpose of the video wasnt really to teach anything
Hi Jason, maybe this video helping you - th-cam.com/video/cuNNhddPAGw/w-d-xo.html.
VERY poor video......SLOW it down so the average person can understand the technical aspect of things, such as measurements and cuts!
Hi, Maybe another videos better. Check it now - 1. th-cam.com/video/OIr9gWgya4g/w-d-xo.html

Sloppy work...true craftsman are hard to find
Thanks for watching!
Its interesting how those narrow mitered pieces just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I've been trying to pull them out of my hat but I just can't seem to get them to cooperate.
Thanks for your comment!
I just removed carpet from my stairs to find the open-sided landing and bottom step are plywood and stick out over the risers. Any ideas how to accomplish this over the plywood?
Hi, send me picture on Facebook please, I have a look.Thanks.
@@MrYoucandoityourself just did. Thanks!
I got it. Thanks.
