Single mom doing my own home repairs and renovations. Looked this up because my basement now has living space, and people are slipping on the stairs! So happy to find your channel. It really does help somehow, to see women DOING! 🤷♀️ THANK YOU!
you make it look easy, can't wait to remodel my stairs, first-time homeowner and someone tried to quote me $2,847 to remove the carpet and install wood on 12-step stairs Yikes I rather do it myself! Thank you
Thanks for making this video, because you made this project look so easy. I've been wanting to remove our carpet from the stairs, and was trying to find an easy way of doing so. You've done a great job.
DIVA.... THIS WAS BEAUTIFULLY ACHIEVED... YOU DID A FANSTIC JOB ON THESE STAIRS... NOT MANY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE UNDERTOOK THIS PROJECT. BUT YOU HANDLED THIS LIKE A PRO! HIGH FIVE.... THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL! LOVE IT! THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR WORK!
To the guy that said this was cheap and risky, clearly you took the time to view this DIY video like the rest of us so next time you comment please provide specific suggestions for improvement to You-Tubers like her that put themselves out there to inform, inspire, and empower everyday women like me. It’s easy to knock people down, try something harder like building people up with positive feedback that ultimately helps all of us.
You did a great job. Let that person who said they would have put sand on the stairs, then you go over there and redo the stairs. Good grief, can't we just give the woman credit for tackling a job that could have cost $1,000 if done by a contractor.
Must be nice to have a builder actually use real wood’ round here asshats cheaped out like crazy all osb stairs that sag and creak they saved themselves a lot of money’ these days wood may be. Healer than osb 😂
So good. I have very similar carpeted stairs and I hate them. This video has given me the courage to finally get rid of them. This just came out so nice.
Thank you so much for this video! The most straight forward video I’ve seen on TH-cam. I was going to paint my risers white until I seen your video of the bead boards and it was so much easier. Thanks!!
Wow!! Amazing job! I'm a finish carpenter for a living a very impressed with what I see here! I like the bead board rips for your riser pieces...nice idea! Might have to steal that idea from ya ;)
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God know you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state Nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family.

For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you in Jesus name........
Boss woman moves! When i was growing up my mom taught me a lot of handy work and said it would be good for me to know just in case. Worked out because my husband isint handy at all lol. Im trying to learn more as we are buying our first home a fixer upper soon and want to do some of the work myself.
Oh WOW!!!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! You've totally inspired me to do my stairs. I hate carpet especially with kids and a dog in the house. You are an amazing woman.
Hi! I was searching for DIY makeover videos for my stairs and your video was the first one I clicked on. After watching your video, I don't need to look any further. This was just what I needed. You did an AMAZING job! Thanks for sharing!
My husband would be the same way. But first he would want me to make a list of what changes to our house are most important in order and get an idea for how much it would cost (since we just got a house, we do have such a ljst). And this would be low on my list. He isn't handy, he is techy. However, for us, we figure sometimes we can pay people so he could instead consider that time to work (he works from home), and he makes more than the price we would pay for someone. It isn't intrinsically bad to off load tasks to others. Plus, in my opinion, having wood stairs would look weird since our landing has carpet, I would want them to match. Our current house makeover task is changing all the blinds on the first floor to vertical and we are getting devices on them to make them open and close on their own. This has a practical purpose and a measurable outcome (better moods by being bright when we go downstairs in the morning, for instance) and right now we don't usually bother to open all the blinds/curtains up. Just offering a different perspective.
I do this and alot more, throw his ass away....IM KIDDING!!. i do this for a living and HATE doing it at home......i think its cause i just want to chill when i'm there lol
I agree with others that you can do it. I don't understand the judgmental comments, though, that's unnecessary. I do most of the renovations around my house, because my husband works long hours and I'm at home. In addition, my dad has extensive building experience, so I get him to teach me things when I can't figure them out myself.
Well done! Stairs looks amazing. I also have an old carpet from the 80s. I'm thinking about using laminate floor boards. I'm not handy at all, but I am honestly a little bit excited to get this little project started. Thanks for sharing your video. Best regards from the old north
Perfect video and definitely going to use it as a reference when I get around to doing my stairs. Probably going to leave out the bead board and paint instead as I want to try and expose all of the original features in our cottage. But great video,short sweet with plenty of information. Especially the every other step reminder.
The REAL budget and amount of work will completely depend on what's under the carpet! If your house is over 20 yrs old, chances are you will have treads that need to be completely replaced. You may also uncover a MESS left by the builder when they were messy with applying paint, ceiling texture, etc. Just don't expect this under EVERY carpet! I am a bigtime DIYER and we ended up outsourcing this, spent $1000 to have the stairs completely rebuilt. So fair warning to those ...you may get lucky but be ready!
honeybrowne24 I’m so scared to rip up my carpet. I live in Phoenix and my house was built in the 70’s. I’ve got Spanish tile on the main floor of the house but the previous owners installed carpet. I think they installed it within the last 10 years, but I’m terrified to find out what’s under it lol. One thing I do appreciate about my house is that it’s because it’s older the house is actually made of wood. All the newer houses in Phoenix are stucco 😖
honeybrowne24 My original stairs were built out of 2 x 12s ... I had all the new treads and risers cut, stained and ready to install .. But ripping out the old stairs was at least 5 times harder than I anticipated.. they were nailed on each side thru the stringers with five 3 inch threaded nails glued on every single seam with construction adhesive.. holy shit
there are tread covers made of prefinished oak to go right over the nasty plywood stairs, you can also get the prefinished risers, or DIY some thin plywood painted or stained, like she used the beadboard here, which I think is super cute. Should be way cheaper than a tear out and rebuild
Very nicely done and you inspired me. Removing carpet was easy. Yet, after spending 4 hours stripping, I did more research. Another video showed how waiting on stain to try properly can take days so now I'm thinking about just purchasing pre-finished tread caps.
You have given me a great idea for my stairs!!! When you picked up that can of stain, I held my breathe…..CLASSIC GREY!!! Excellent taste! You do wonderful work Lady 😁
Actually, I work for a homebuilder and that would have cost about $1 to $2K for a contractor to do and can add anywhere from $6 to $8K to the overall value of a home at the point of sale (not on property taxes). The weathered country chic look is really in style right now and hard floors are always a plus.
Stairs looked great.. quick question. even though the spacing on the landing gives a nice dimension wont it be hard to keep dirst and sand out of each crack? a vacuum wont get everything.will it?
Dana B My My stairs had ugly plywood and a un-even floor, Ugh! I bought cheap laminated wood flooring (due to budget)and I was so disappointed when it couldn't stick to the damb plywood. I gave up and my floor is still in need of a make over 😔😭
Dana B Those stair caps are only pine.. decent but not hardwood like oak or maple. $10 each at Home Depot .. you need 12 for a flight of stairs, $120, you can do it, you’ll be alright
That’s amazing! You did a fabulous job. I was wanting to redo my stairs the same & was hesitant but after seeing you do yours do beautifully I think with a little help of my dad I will give it a go!
Love this! My husband and I are putting in new laminate flooring on the second floor but the stair treads are a fortune! We were just going to leave it as carpet but after seeing your video, I think it is just what we need!
Love this diy, I had to go to 3 stores before we found an employee to cut the Bead Board for the risers, I'm am so excited to see the end results, thanks for sharing this diy with us, it looks so professionally done💯👍
Great job Madame. Wish my stairs were like yours. I have plywood with wide gaps like someone else commented about. Haven't decided what to do yet. Anyone have some cheap suggestions?
The problem with putting poly on staars, is that you can easily slip and fall. Especially if you're just wearing socks. I would have put a little sand in the stain to give it some grip and make it slip resistant.
I'm looking to remodel my staircase as well and I this video gave me such great ideas. You did a great job. Thank you so much for your video, It's pure gold!
Came out amazing. I'm about to take the carpet off of my stairs so I came here for ideas. I'm 100% using breadboard. You did a fantastic job it looks fantastic
@@toyadesigns7617 I just pulled out 20+ yrs old stair carpet, now not sure should I do what u did or just put new carpet in because it's a rental unit and every one scare me that plaint wood/hardwood floor (HWF) stair can be slippery cause tenants fall then they sue landlord, and also some pros are CARPET REDUCE NOISE, also comfortable to climb stair and won't fall down easy - just change carpet (cost $200?) every 7yrs is cheaper than 1 tenant fall/injury lawsuit. So I'm confused at this point should I go plaint wood/HWF or put new carpet? Another Q is should I resurface 20+ yrs old DIY 4 bedroom 750 sq-ft of hardwood floor, sand it 3x from 36-60-80 grits then put in 3 coats to save a $3k job or hire a HWF refinishing pro because all of my friends said no landlord or homeowner they know will DIY for HWF, they fear of leave scratch make, they always hire HWF Pro. I look at youtube learn if it's possible DIY to save $3k. What do u guys advise for both stair+HWF jobs? Thx. FYI: SF the extreme Libtards city has all rental laws against the LANDLORD or capitalist or rich, honest, smart, strong ones in favor to help the poor, dumb, vulnerable, druggies, LGBTQ, and illegals - they make laws forever believe+help the tenants b/c tenants are weak/poor/victim of the landlord who was depicted as strong, rich who take advantages from vulnerable ones - Libtards make laws everything UPSIDE DOWN. My friends hate it so they move to TX pays 0% tax=TX rewards smart, honest, capitalist, private home-ownership, personal property rights (pro landlords), and rewards legal citizens who hard work. I've to pay $11k to evict bad tenants - Rent Control/Eviction Control laws punish landlord's rent will never able to CATCH UP WITH INFLATION by Rent Control law. It's so hard to pay tenants $11k to $1M to leave (yes, pay customer=tenant to go away is LIBTARDS law LOL; ppl ask is this landlord's private building or govt subsidize housing help the illegal/poor/dummy/druggies? Lib=Dem=Commies=Everything UPSIDE DOWN! Free market is the best Mother Nature law, even China do NOT have Rent Control law but only 1 or 2 child policy birth control to ensure people not stupidly mass produce at public's resources to foot the bill!). Anyway, get back to point/Qs lol. Finally, we paid tenants $11k to go away then city put a stamp on our property as a punish landlord do not rent to old tenant. After they vacate it, we can remodel it finally. Ppl hate Libtards for big reasons. Soon I want to move to TX joint my friends too :)!
Thank goodness I found your video. I've been looking all over TH-cam for a way to redo my stairs that did not require a significant amount of reworking, like installing new treads and risers over the old. I never considered staining the existing treads. I'm going to give your solution a shot. Thanks
You should have seen the floor we found underneath the carpet in our cottage. Original stone floor. It goes right the way through from the front door to the back door. Exposing it has added value to our home. And it looks amazing!
@@polluxtroy69 I don't understand the desire to cover hardwood flooring! I can imagine some area rugs over stone, to warm it up, but to cover it completely is absolute insanity!
I'm a real estate investor and rehabber. My mom taught me everything I know! Great to see a woman showing how it's done!

Beautiful ! Very gorgeous ! Wonderful ! Fantastic looking ! And the stairs cane out cool also .
Most don't have nice pine under their carpet. Thats rare. It's usually plywood or fiber board.
It’s soft wood. It’s only meant for carpeted stair treads.
Can you do this with plywood or the fiber board?
@@shaunabee I'm wondering the same thing...I think I'm just going to put vinyl planks down over the plywood instead.

Love wood stairs, but with a good wool stair runner going up it. It really looks great and the wool runner holds up a whole lot better than carpet.

Excellent work,, looks professional and the video was detailed and not too long.
Beautifully done. As a realtor, I can tell you that's more or less a 8000 dollar job, and you did it for 80 bucks!
She did a nice job, but an $8,000.00 job that is not.
Actually, I work for a homebuilder and that would have cost about $1 to $2K for a contractor to do and can add anywhere from $6 to $8K to the overall value of a home at the point of sale (not on property taxes). The weathered country chic look is really in style right now and hard floors are always a plus.
Sis you did a great job👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Stairs looked great..
quick question. even though the spacing on the landing gives a nice dimension wont it be hard to keep dirst and sand out of each crack? a vacuum wont get everything.will it?
Actually i went back and took the spaces out to avoid that issue.
Great job! How are they holding up?
They have held up fine
You are so lucky that you had actual solid wood underneath. Most are crappy partial board like mine. $80 is like 2 steps for me....

Does staining the stairs make them slippery ? Great job by the way ,👊.
Not if you stain the wood but glossy paint would
The stain did not make the floor slippery. I suggest using a satin floor poly to get a less glossy finished.
I definitely can try this. Ladies we rock!
Girl...can you come to my house...I'm serious. That looks amazingly

The problem with putting poly on staars, is that you can easily slip and fall. Especially if you're just wearing socks.
I would have put a little sand in the stain to give it some grip and make it slip resistant.
j Huh?
JT, What's so hard to understand?
I’ve been doing this for 7 years the poly coating does not make your stairs slippery lol
Mario, try walking on them with just socks, it can get slippery.
oh, please please please don't put sand in a finish.
Girl, the difference in prices 4 years later is crazy! Oh well, I've already committed.
Thanks for this video!

Came out amazing. I'm about to take the carpet off of my stairs so I came here for ideas. I'm 100% using breadboard. You did a fantastic job it looks fantastic
Lucky that the treads were wood!
I never thought about using beadboard for risers. That's a nice look. Great job.
I think both stairs are nice carpet is more comfortable but wood is easier to clean if something spill
The carpet was getting pretty dirty, so that is why I went with this easy clean solution
@@toyadesigns7617 I just pulled out 20+ yrs old stair carpet, now not sure should I do what u did or just put new carpet in because it's a rental unit and every one scare me that plaint wood/hardwood floor (HWF) stair can be slippery cause tenants fall then they sue landlord, and also some pros are CARPET REDUCE NOISE, also comfortable to climb stair and won't fall down easy - just change carpet (cost $200?) every 7yrs is cheaper than 1 tenant fall/injury lawsuit. So I'm confused at this point should I go plaint wood/HWF or put new carpet? Another Q is should I resurface 20+ yrs old DIY 4 bedroom 750 sq-ft of hardwood floor, sand it 3x from 36-60-80 grits then put in 3 coats to save a $3k job or hire a HWF refinishing pro because all of my friends said no landlord or homeowner they know will DIY for HWF, they fear of leave scratch make, they always hire HWF Pro. I look at youtube learn if it's possible DIY to save $3k. What do u guys advise for both stair+HWF jobs? Thx. FYI: SF the extreme Libtards city has all rental laws against the LANDLORD or capitalist or rich, honest, smart, strong ones in favor to help the poor, dumb, vulnerable, druggies, LGBTQ, and illegals - they make laws forever believe+help the tenants b/c tenants are weak/poor/victim of the landlord who was depicted as strong, rich who take advantages from vulnerable ones - Libtards make laws everything UPSIDE DOWN. My friends hate it so they move to TX pays 0% tax=TX rewards smart, honest, capitalist, private home-ownership, personal property rights (pro landlords), and rewards legal citizens who hard work. I've to pay $11k to evict bad tenants - Rent Control/Eviction Control laws punish landlord's rent will never able to CATCH UP WITH INFLATION by Rent Control law. It's so hard to pay tenants $11k to $1M to leave (yes, pay customer=tenant to go away is LIBTARDS law LOL; ppl ask is this landlord's private building or govt subsidize housing help the illegal/poor/dummy/druggies? Lib=Dem=Commies=Everything UPSIDE DOWN! Free market is the best Mother Nature law, even China do NOT have Rent Control law but only 1 or 2 child policy birth control to ensure people not stupidly mass produce at public's resources to foot the bill!). Anyway, get back to point/Qs lol. Finally, we paid tenants $11k to go away then city put a stamp on our property as a punish landlord do not rent to old tenant. After they vacate it, we can remodel it finally. Ppl hate Libtards for big reasons. Soon I want to move to TX joint my friends too :)!
Thank goodness I found your video. I've been looking all over TH-cam for a way to redo my stairs that did not require a significant amount of reworking, like installing new treads and risers over the old. I never considered staining the existing treads. I'm going to give your solution a shot. Thanks
Why on earth would someone cover that beautiful wood with carpet?!
You should have seen the floor we found underneath the carpet in our cottage. Original stone floor. It goes right the way through from the front door to the back door. Exposing it has added value to our home. And it looks amazing!
@@polluxtroy69 I don't understand the desire to cover hardwood flooring! I can imagine some area rugs over stone, to warm it up, but to cover it completely is absolute insanity!
@@jessicastillwell2222 easier for kids to crawl on, no worrying about chips, ...
Love to see women go getters, not afraid to put in some elbow grease! This turned out beautifully, you did a great job!
You can redo my stairs anytime, just wear that same shirt 😉
Be proud of that job! I know that’s hard work- you did it!
Mine works too. I used wood prix plans and made it without any problems.
awesome mate
Great job Toya. I'm inspired.
