I wish there was this video back when I installed the runner as a new home owner. I completely ignored having the carpet pad watching a different video. now I am thinking of removing (would leave damaged wood) and putting carpet pad before the runner. I have the same runner.
The first thing after I bought the home was to add the runner to the polished waxed slippppery stairs which made me and my relative fall. I was shocked as how previous owners would have walked without slipping. safety first and look comes next. also in winter months foot feels better walking on the carpet.
Eh I'm looking up how to carpet the stairs in my house because I live in one of those cookie cutter things where our neighbors have an identical floorplan. Their stairs are carpeted and look so much nicer, and it'll help stop me from slipping and eating shit when I have socks on (I've definitely slid down the last few stairs and nearly broken an ankle a few times already).
@@quicksilvertaint It's not just a matter of the stairs being carpeted. It's how it was installed. And plenty other non-permanent or damaging options to add traction to stairs.
Yea the house I moved into has god awful, outdated carpet on the stairs that wasn’t taken care of and I’d love to remove it but know it’ll be a hassle to fix

No tack strips? Trying to decide if I need them or not
Thank you for this, my wife fell down our stairs the other day and broke a bone, time to install a runner.

Thank you! An easy diy!
At no point did homey use a nail gun. Would also be helpful to specify model of staple gun & staple size.
Use arrow T50 staples 3/8 or 1/2” depending on carpet
thank you@@Cheers_Warren
@@Cheers_Warren what happens if i use 3/4

for reinstalling the moldings if needed
Good
Even the SAW movies were not as hideous. And now for the next episode of how to depreciate your home...

We eagerly await your installation video featuring acceptable practices
@@marquee-moon If you require a video to place down stair treads... that's a new level of "special".
Stairs looked great until you put that rug on it. Still appreciate the tutorial, thanks Home Depot.
Its a decorative way off adding traction
If one decides to remove the runner and have the wooden stairs, it will ruined by the staples
Remove staples, use wood filler to cover the holes, sand and stain. That’s the only way to fix it

It will need some TLC but won’t ruin the stairs.
