Looks super ,out of curiosity what would a job like that cost. Just a ballpark quote please

[@MrSteve280]

Thanks for skipping the unnecessary narration. Showing (with subtitles) is always better than explaining for these DYI videos.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

You are welcome!

[@chrissy212e]

I think it helps when the trademark explains all the steps, especially if you're a novice imo.

[@halusomusic]

I am planning to do this and was lead to believe you had to use carpet grippers? This looks much more easier and I already have an electric staple. Cheers!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Some carpet needs gripper!

[@halusomusic]

The one we have isn’t very thick, which sort of carpet needs grippers?

[@Shabbyie]

@KeithShannonDirectCarpet Does Jute need grippers please ?

[@JnJShiffler]

What are the negatives to wrapping the padding over the stair nose?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Wrapping the nose with the underpad helps the carpet wear better, but if you have a side view and using thick pad, you will see the gap on the outside, so depending on the installation and the thickness of the pad most times if it’s visual from the outside meaning when you’re walking by the staircase, we will cut our pad tight to the nose

[@HarveyDWilliams]

Nice job may I ask what model stapler is that ...

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

If it’s red it’s a Robert’s if it’s black it duofast

[@HarveyDWilliams]

And can you do my few steps 😆

[@jeffjunk]

How far do you leave the pad from the edge of the carpet? Say the stairs runner is 30" - what width should the pad be? Thanks.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

1 inch away from the riser and 1 inch shorter on each side so for a 30 inch runner it would be 28 inch pad!👍

[@PaulEubanks]

Where'd you get the pad? Can you order it online?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

We can ship it to you from www.directcarpet.com

[@LauraMija-mm3ms]

I have a question If one day..need to sell the house.. and have to remove the runner.. floor would be damaged..how bad? Can be fixed?

[@lloydmaceachern]

A quick follow up Keith. On question 2 below, I will leave the base shoe on as it doesn’t impede getting the runner up and tight under the bullnose of the tread.

[@omarbucio4799]

Great job

[@lloydmaceachern]

Great video Keith! I wish I watched this as my first step in my stair runner project. The video calls for 9/16" crown staples but the links to the Roberts staple gun refer to 3/16" crown staples. Can you confirm the crown size (width) and length of the staples used? Also, I have some base shoe molding under the treads (versus that crescent molding under the treads in your video). Do you see any issue with leaving that base shoe in place just forming the runner over the base shoe the best I can? These are basement stairs that I want to look nice as the basemenet is finished but am not hugely concerned with them looking perfect like on our main floor. Thank you!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

yes we use 9/16 crown for the guns and base molding can stay but i prefer off/ there is a video on my channel showcasing the base molding / its easier to do with it off!

[@davecin6223]

Thanks for sharing the video, it's great😊. Just wondering in what situation need to put carpet grippers to secure the carpet?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

We only use grippers for full stair installs these days / there will be new videos coming out with stair runners with grippers this fall😀

[@nickm8425]

why do you hammer and wedge in the stair crease but not in the bullnose

[@dreadpirateroberts4052]

On the bullnose there no angle to crease into.
