🔥 How To Carpet A Room 🔥 Step By Step By Step

[@brendacruz721]

Thank you so very much for explaining everything step by step the way you do ,I'm divorced now and don't have a husband to change out my bedroom carpet which he had promised to do so 11 years ago , but now I'm going to change it and with all of your tips 😊 I feel very confident I can do this ! And most definitely very excited, also I've just painted my room so it's definitely a good change from the old to the new ! Thanks again, and God bless!!

[@yusufsmother]

👀How did it go? I want to do this but I'm a novice. Are you handy?

[@tanktalk2.088]

So how's the business going!!

[@RxTerps]

Do you have any experience? 😂

[@markruby3916]

Yeah you should always either run a row or straight edge a seam and should power stretch all carpet

[@kirkhepburnmiddleagedwhiteguy]

Great channel. Sure would have tuck better with no 1/4 rnd. Noticed that you had your knife angled as you freehanded you seam edge. You must have hand cut down a backing row to avoid straight edging. Always use a power stretcher to stretch carpet taut. Knee kicker only for setting at walls Have you ever tried running a row on top for your seam edge? Works great. Displaces no yarn when properly executed.

I’ve been in construction for 20+ years and have never installed carpet. Thank you for this thorough explanation of all the techniques and tools required!

[@jwelch1027]

Same here I've done a lot of different types of construction commercial and residential but this will be my first carpet installation.

[@Moronmommy]

Livid you are putting carpet on that beautiful floor. Thanks for the vid

He’s a pro, like any pro he makes it look easy. It is not easy and I would not recommend this for a homeowner job. Eddie Van Halen makes playing guitar look easy yet most people cannot play as well as him on the first try.

[@jackdeangelis6585]

Thanks. Great explanation. I'm gonna re-carpet our 2nd floor (3 rooms and a hallway). Never done this before. Can I re-use the old tack strips (30 years old) or should I replace them? The old carpet is laid over plywood sub-floor so there's no wood floor to be damaged. Thanks again. Subscribed.

Why didnt you use a pole stretcher? Doesn’t the dips in the padding with the staples show up eventually in the carpet?😊

So what's carpet look like after a month cause you didn't you a power stretcher? I think it is a must im about to buy one but i believe it's best bet but will take longer

[@nick12586]

It's not necessary

[@Pmagmaster]

not necessary after you get paid to do the job an then you leave an it's not necessary because it's not ur house it's going in it's only business is why carpet is done like this

[@jaygonzalez9375]

@Brass company I bet after a month the carpet looked like carpet

[@rsvenn8761]

I agree to use a powerstretcher for anything over 12ft. But if it's super thick carpet I will power stretch it all day. Its was separates the hacks from the good installers

[@Jericho_bella]

Bro u really helped my German shepherd pulled up my master bedroom carpet I’m gonna buy carpet tomorrow and thanks to u I think I’m gonna be able to pull it it

[@BoomChild74]

Is it important to have the floor trim installed beforehand? I'm re-doing my house and already pulled it all off. I planned to replace the trim with a different style. If I need to install the trim first, I'll have to postpone my carpet install, obviously, but what are the recommended dimensions for spacing the trim from the floor?

[@Anthonymayn]

Any answer to this ?

[@BoomChild74]

@@Anthonymayn in the past, I've had to go along the edge of the carpet right above the tack strip and lightly tap the carpet with a mallet or something to get the carpet to grab onto the tacks. Otherwise, I don't think it matters much if you do the trim after the fact.

[@athomewithfrancsicio]

Thanks for the speed and quality explanations!

[@xaviervillarreal2283]

How far away from the wall should the tac strip be installed???

[@rockyrovere2526]

Basic rule is a fingertip away,but sometimes take into consideration the type and thickness of the goods. Peace

[@Poprocks4u]

It looks like there is no baseboard on the walls. I would like to have new carpet installed without removing the existing baseboard. Any suggestions/comments?

[@tiggerlocs187]

No carpet trimmer?

[@logicflakes8911]

Do you need to use a carpet stretcher or is a knee kicker good enough?

[@CarpetExpertBlueprint]

Knee kicker will be all good if it’s a mid grade or lower. If you are working with some higher end you may want to pick up a stretcher

[@logicflakes8911]

Carpet Expert Blueprint sounds good! Thanks man!

[@kyledillon1998]

If you just use a knee kicker I can promise you, you'll have to get it re-stretched later. tlccarpetcare.net

In cases like that you can nail into the mortar lines or just glue them to the floor.

Yes you can restrech carpet. New pad and hire a pro. This guy is a hack!!

And a tip for pad when matching up to hallways like that is put the new pad over the existing and flush and boom perfectly together.. not sure if I explained that good

[@ManoftheMostHigh]

Great explanation AND HILARIOUS...MAN...LOLOL

[@saulcalderon448]

Probably a dumb question but does the knee kicker go on or in front of the tack strip?

[@612remy2]

The foam padding is essentially flush with the tack strips so the carpet lays OVER the tack strip and the kicker stretch’s the carpet while pressing the carpet down onto the tack strips

[@Anthonymayn]

thanks alot man this video got me through it

[@OrthodoxChristianBeliever]

why does the black and decker book I have tell u to use tackless strip instead of tack strip?

[@xdg6451]

Because before the advent of tack strip, carpet was tacked in with a staple gun. Thus the name “tack less” or tack strip. The name is interchangeable but it explained to installers of that era that they no longer need to use a tack gun.

[@chrisfox6780]

Kicker is meant to get one end ontop the tac. A stretcher is needed for stretching as you can't stretch very well with a kicker.

[@Apexjasonmorganllc]

A knee kicker is not to stretch carpet, you need a power stretcher. Not a carpet pro. No stretcher, no wall trimmer, no straight edge or row cutter for the seam come on man.

[@chrisfox6780]

Most DIY videos on KZbin are amateur introduction unfortunately. You're absolutely correct and this carpet is bound to have issues with even light traffic over a year. I wish there were more experts on KZbin but not many want to give away the trade.
