How to Carpet Stairs Yourself/Bullnose Stair Tutorial

[@bbrown5887]

Unfortunately many people today have no idea about the gratification that comes from a tangible product via craftsmanship and skills. Great job.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks 🤙

[@shaunbrowne5139]

Thanks Kieth, I've on the tools myself for 45 years now, but found I can always learn more. Great work my man. From Oz.

[@fredsmithii2487]

You definitely have skills and take pride in your work!! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@richlangley8035]

I laid carpet for 27 years, and estimate that I've installed approximately 75,000 to 100,000 stairs over that time (no exaggeration) I always did the stairs on my jobs while my crew stretched in the rooms. This is a great tutorial on how to wrap a bullnose. Most videos I see show the back asswards wrong way to do things. Good job. I actually prefer the cap and band method for these types of stairs, and I would have done a couple things differently, but that's just personal preference. The quality results are what matters.

Something about installing carpet is just so satisfying

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Fantastic

[@edy_ea]

Nice work! … won’t lie was a bit sceptical when you cut around the corner at the bullnose but worked out perfectly .. trust the process 😁🥳

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks! 👍

[@jamiepalzeaird3013]

That double edge blade looks dangerous 😂good job man 🤟

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

[@SLDOQ36]

Hey Keith. What staples do you use? I have a nail gun that can take staples too

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

5/8 electric gun staples

[@krzysztofklimek8988]

Magic! Well done

[@Ben-28]

Great video! I have a piece of timber that I want to carpet but it’s curved inwards. Is it the same concept with the release cuts?

[@sll-tt6bj]

Nice video I was wondering if you could do a video on glue down carpet on metal spiral steps I have problems with that

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Yes

[@jackdunn4913]

That my friend is a shocking piece of work

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@raymondhall8629]

Absolutely brilliant 🤩👍

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks 🙏

[@wise-man6832]

Very nice work, sir! Well done 👍🏽

[@JillBaer]

How would you do a large landing at the bottom of the stairs that does not have a lip to tuck under, two ways to step off?

[@TheShamwari]

Very clear and just what I need. Next step buy electric staple gun .

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

The gun that I’m using in that video is a Robert staplegun the link is in the description of that video just to be clear if you go through that link I do receive an affiliate commission but I fully back that gun that gun is the best price on Amazon right now and it is totally pro I just bought my second one

[@nemod3338]

3:56 LOL, I'm watching this at 2 AM. Can't stop laughing.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Hah shooter! Awesome dog!

[@thegheostsnypercometh2588]

Looks great!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks

[@patrickgarrett3814]

I do the step tread then kick plate separate on those steps :)

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Yup I like that way as well 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@NzRasengan]

Nice technique you would make a good teacher.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks

[@teddyboy252]

Good job

[@lafaina79]

What kind of staples you use?regular C shaped ones?

[@9catlover]

so useful. Saved!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Awesome

[@joshualowrey449]

Wow, this is the most impressive carpet tutorial I’ve seen on KZbin. Question, do you use narrow staples or T50? Round top staples maybe, also the type of razor you use?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I use 9/16 crown staples and a Robert’s double sided blade (Bloody Mary)

[@bubbazanetti1472]

The bob ross of carpet fitting 😊

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

lol

[@MG-wp4gl]

Good video, except when you hammered the smooth edge pins down: how is the carpet going to stop on?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

When the pins are poking through the carpet when we band them down they bend over and lock the carpet into place!

[@cristianeramirez6920]

Nice job dude

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks

[@DannyD-vw9vv]

Your an absolute beast my freind.. thanks for the educational video.. subcribed..👍🤟🤟🤟

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙

[@mdsoulsounds]

Impressive mate!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks a lot!

[@nhewittchick]

Hey, how would I do this with a square bullnose? Can you let me know how that might be done? We are only carpeting the treads.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6O9pnSKbb2teMk try this video it may help!

[@Enigmatic9]

Awedome !☝️👍

[@DorothElizabeth]

Beautiful carpet where can I get one similar

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

That’s a Mohawk product find out how much you need / we have it available directcarpet.com

[@robertmclean6927]

I'm having difficulty getting a carpet fitter to even answer the phone never mind do the work, so may have to do it myself. this video is instructive but I note the pad (underlay) is not over the nose of the tread where other video's are. Is one any better than the other? Perhaps if it becomes too difficult I'll get a dog like you show and train him to lay over my errors.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

If you can wrap the edge with pad if it’s to round opt for the straight approach/ pad over the edge can help with longevity / if you don’t wrap make sure lots of pad staples on the front edge so it does not curl up as you install

[@marinojeffrey6693]

Hey Keith, does it have anything like a electronic kicker?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I think there’s a stair model like that!

[@VideoJocky1]

I really wanted to see how you wrapped the carpet around the bottom step and how you trimmed off the excess. You made a big jump past that area.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Sorry bout that

[@dixietaylor8820]

What brand carpet is that it's beautiful

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I believe that is river rock sculptured touch by Mohawk

[@richardblack4125]

Keith do you have any lvp lvt or safety floor videos

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

No I’m sorry I don’t have anything like that

[@alanreid498]

Hi, I'm wanting to use laminate on the stair risers but how can I fit it round the Bullnose curve on the bottom stair? Thanks

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Use a heat gun

[@Ahm-Creative]

When using multiple staples under the lip of the stairs, I see that you're not moving the gun (per 3 clicks)....the staples aren't hitting each other?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I’ve been doing like that for years with no problem

[@russpeaknuckel9525]

Nice !

[@brandonmarshall6674]

Dope!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks

[@pault2178]

How long you been doing carpet. Great work

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Long time lol

[@pault2178]

Do u think an everyday kinda person that is a little handy can do carpet?

[@sjacobson005]

Highly skilled craftsman. This level of skill requires years of experience.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Thanks

[@marinojeffrey6693]

Great job men,thanks for teaching, I really appreciate it 👍

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

No problem dude! Glad you liked it!

[@waltbee6333]

Thank you! I love watching your work. Would like to see you do that next step. Lol

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I think I have that on video I’ll set that up

[@jonsimpson8014]

What’s the name of your staple gun electric

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

I use duofast and Robert’s

[@artemizoo]

Hi from Calgary, I am a carpet installer and I always wonder how other installer does the work, Thank you for demonstrating, it is plain and helpful. Maybe one day you can show us pattered carpet match and seaming.

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

We are all different and unique!

[@snap7us]

Can you give me the information on the stapler?

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

We use Robert’s electric staplegun and duofast electric staple guns/ there should be a link in the description

[@shawnmoore5621]

Looks great! Your scaring me holding your knife with your index finger stretched out on top of your knife though. I told one of my guys to not do that many times and he learned the hard way by his knife hitting something ant he ran his finger down across the blade and cut er clear to the bone!

[@KeithShannonDirectCarpet]

Ouch!

[@masitaatisam3679]

Wauwww💪🏽

[@kylerkonnor6461]

That “bullnose”. If you’ll let me call that an “outward corner”. Then how about an “inward corner”? I have four corners at the top of my stairs. I’m sorry to admit it’s breaking my brain to figure out how to cut them in. Great video btw. Thanks.

[@thomasnorthcastle4130]

Just wow!!!

[@thomasnorthcastle4130]
