30 yr floorman here to say that was an excellent instructional. Very well done. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and technique. I'm glad we don't get many birdcages anymore.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks so much Kirk I really appreciate that!

[@motoarzan791]

AWESOME. Just what I needed. Our puppy chewed apart some of the carpet on the bottom birdcage step. Now that he's grown and likely won't chew it again time for a repair. I can do this!

[@gabrieljuarez2471]

dude I've been in the carpet business for 16 years we do installation, carpet cleaning, and repairs and I have to say you do very very good work I'm very impressed with your work ethic and how you much you take pride in your work. I actually took some notes on how you installed this. No matter how long you been doing this business, there's always room for improvement and learning new things. very good video... 👌🏽

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks so much I appreciate that!

[@mikey27437]

Great help, thank you! We got the exact same staircase and banister. Carpet is due for replacement. Our cat ignores his scratching posts but scratched the heck out of that bullnose step.

[@bestcamperever7802]

Of all the videos I’ve searched on how to do this for our home project. You sir made it look like a breeze. I’m sure it takes time and practice but this video probably shows/explains this process 100% on point

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

[@jasonnorthey3416]

I came across one of these a few days ago and it was my first so I was there a while trying to figure out how to position the carpet and key points to cut. My finished result was fine but took a little longer than this. Wish I'd seen this before haha. Great finish, I may consider buying a knife like yours after seeing this video.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

just watch out the knife is nick named the Bloody Mary LOL

[@jasonnorthey3416]

keith shannon lol yeah I remember you saying in another video of yours you call them Bloody Mary's The work you do is fantastic Keith

[@Pleasegetmetosixtysubs]

[@Brandon10101011]

[@AL-wo2iz]

Can you use this method of cutting v around the bull nose if the carpets patterned? I'm worried the joins will look funny, the carpets got spots on its kinda in between a fleck and a pattern. I've got a huge double sided one to do and I've never had to do one like it 😣

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

thats a tuff call id have to see the pattern your talking about

[@richardchang9993]

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet Hi, Keith, My pattern Berber carpet is Shaw’s Cathedral II. Is it suitable for open stair and birdcage spindle installation? Thank you. Richard

[@kevincallaghan5519]

Hey Keith awesome job as always. Quick question I’m doing this crazy flight of stairs for my sister so obviously I’m not charging what I would charge somebody else I just gave her the Carpet for cost and I was like just give me something for my time. Anyway what would you charge somebody for a flight of stairs that was three boxed steps down to a 3 x 6 landing then three more boxed steps and then five double capped and then the last step which would be the sixth double capped double birdcage bullnose. This house was 350 yards and no drops every damn room had a seam and you had to seam the closets as well lol .. .I wish I never gave my father a sample that didn’t have 15 foot goods to bring up there lol

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Good lord that’s a tuff call family. I dunno what do you think? What’s that job worth in your neck of the woods ? Then cut it in half I guess for family / my family always insists of paying but I just do for cost!

[@kevincallaghan5519]

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet shit it all had to be re stripped and then i got them top of the line pad i was thinking for labor on a regular customer just the stairs 750 800 then 7 bucks a yard for install on labor.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Well you should make some money for that size of job family or no family / this is a hard bloody job!😀😀😀

I honestly have never tried!

Really nice Keith can you do a video on gluing and cutting carpet on metal spiral staircases I just subscribed to your Channel

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Will do

[@sll-tt6bj]

@@KeithShannonDirectCarpet thanks Keith

[@sll-tt6bj]

Hey Keith we do a lot of apartment carpet some with metal spiral steps what adhesive would you recommend on metal spiral steps we've been using contact cement

[@heidis8713]

OMG. Why not have the installation company do everything except the rails, then you do your carpet, and he finishes? This is an INCREDIBLE amount of work :(

[@Fake-moon-landing.]

Did you cut another piece for the riser. It was short doing around the bend?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

We did replace the riser 👍

[@jacobbuckley8232]

I hate inside curves cause then u have to add wedges. Easy carpet do do it with as well. If it was a berber it would be hard to make it look good

[@alfonsor683]

Can you do it with comercial carpet?

[@raviramnarine1127]

What is the cost to carpet a step with that same setup ?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

An installer here in Toronto might charge just for labour 35$ to 75$ just for that step not including carpet
