Two contractors work on renovating a home's staircase, which was previously in bad shape. They discuss and show the demolition process for removing the old stairs. Footage documents the rebuilding process as they discuss and install new studs, plates, and stringers to frame out the new staircase. Additional details include hanging drywall, adding a handrail and bracket system, measuring tread depths, finishing trim work, and advice on techniques such as tapering strips to create smooth transitions between wall materials. The tutorial video provides information on best practices for stair building and remodeling.

One thing I really enjoy watching you guys is how you never hide from the required work to get it all done right-which will improve the lives going forward for everyone using the spaces you build. 💙

[@Beandiptheredneck]

I agree. They never try to cut a corner, and seem to actually go out of their way to go a step beyond when the option is there

[@karenmoyer-6528]

LET RAY TALK😂😂😂😂😂, there is nobody else on social media like you guys,my husband has been a carpenter since the age of 15, and he is now 48, and is a dedicated watcher and fan, and yes i have been brought into the fold as well, but im just a writer and an artist, I couldn't build a a box if I tried, anyway thank you guys for all you do and keeping my man motivated,,, and yes LET RAY TALK MORE,😂😂😂😂 love you guys and keep up the great work you do,

[@OperationDarkside]

To be fair, to make a proper square box it takes quite a lot of skill and experience. Or 200 clamps, a lot of glue and a year's worth of sandpaper.

I love how everyone on the crew contribute solutions to the problems encountered during a build. Anyone who hires the Perkins bunch is very lucky🍀 to have them. Very talented men. This project was full of problems, surprises and very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I would have shimmed out that joist or girder beneath the girder for attaching the drywall. That tapered shim situation seems no bueno.

[@interesting7906]

This was one of the best vids. IMO is much more involved to do a good job on something like this than to build a home from scratch. In my previous house in NJ had severe termite damage and I had to rebuild the entire front wall of the house and brought it back to new construction level with my father. Fun times.

[@PDQkevin77]

“This should really stiffen it up and get it feeling good” either a quote from Eric with Perkins Construction or Eric with Perkins Bordello.

In the Netherlands if we build a wall in side we sometimes used osb under need the dry wall. This is so you can Puth everywhere a tv ore a painting without the dry wall plugs.

[@chainscdmc]

Hilti makes a device similar to what you’re trying to do. Uses a piece of uni stut and some concrete anchors. Works like a charm. And yes. You can get split jamb doors without the trim.

[@firemanj35]

Man, that's a lot of money for a weather rock. I got mine out of they yard. Cost me like .10 cents in string. Hasn't failed me yet. 😂 Jamie I did work for a contractor who always sheeted his kitchens under the drywall so he never guessed at stud locations. I thought it was a little to much bet he really believed in it. All 3/4 ply. He also always had us rip 1/2 ply by 2 1/2 inches and nailed it on all the walls. Then drywalled from there up. Always had solid material to nail base board to.

[@50sKid]

I appreciated that info about the termites lol

[@RICHat22]

When I was remodeling bedrooms, I tore the closets out and rebuilt them different. The insides got 1/2" sandeply instead of drywall. I wanted to be able to hang anything anywhere later. The surface was really smooth. I used joint compound at seams and such as if it was drywall. I was very happy with it.

[@jamespppyacek342]

On the stair you could build a return for more support... say a 10 or 12 inch stem wall, and in the resulting alcove have shelves for books, or knicks and knacks. Or in this case, since you have a wall two feet away, build a set of two-foot structural shelves fastened to the adjacent wall. On the free-standing end of a stem wall I've cut a hole in the floor, and extended the end post 4x4 down into the 3 foot crawl-space where I dug a shallow pit, lying on my side, poured a sack of ready-mix, topped that with a pier, and fastened the post to it.

[@gregsidel3557]

We worked on a mansion where we had 2x6 walls with 3/4 ply on both sides, house wrap on the outside,with strapping over wrap, at studs,with another 3/4 ply on top of the strapping to create air vent! Then covered outside with Revere wear copper siding, inside with cherry paneling ( also 3/4 inch )!! That’s 4 layers on all walls! It was only a 3 million dollar 1930’s Tudor Mansion that we threw 12 million more dollars at over 2 years!😮

[@jorgenberglund9549]

In Sweden we sheet all the walls with 1/2” osb before drywall 🤟. No blockning needed 😊. Seriously, i have been a builder since 1998 and i have never just put drywall directly on the studs yet 😅. You gotta step up over there 😁

Same in Norway... but to be honest, I think that in the Nordics we overbuild a lot that doesn't need to be overbuilt… but it comes in handy when the 100-year storms soon arrive annually😬

The blocking is to prevent, or slow, the progression of fire, in the interior wall.

I recently bought a commercial dehumidifier from Vevor based on this channel and holy crap, I cannot express how terrible it’s been. It was broken out of the box, it had leaked all of the refrigerant and would run but didn’t dehumidify. This was a month ago and I started a case with their chat support (very difficult to find a number to call) I’ve been going back and forth with them for a month because every reply takes days. I received a message from them today offering me $36.00 to keep the item rather than replace it. WTF!? Why would I want a broken dehumidifier that I paid $400 for if you give me 36 bucks back? It’s been the worst customer support I’ve ever dealt with. Love the channel and I am not blaming the Perkins Bros, this is just a warning. I personally will never buy anything from them again.

[@EricJ0hansson]

Just a small FYI regarding "I have a dream that one day we'll put sheathing on the entire inside of a house". That's actually how we usually build things here (Scandinavia, Sweden to be exact). Usually it's something like OSB on all the walls and then dry wall on top of that. At least the outer walls, but usually the other interior walls as well.

[@darkfox023]

So glad i found this channel

[@cooperjump7198]

Split jams are awesome. That’s all we’ve ever used. We do occasionally replace the trim on them

About the interior sheathing Jaime talked about, I have it in my stud-based home in EU. Basically where we wanted to hang stuff, we put 12mm osb and 12mm drywall, other places we put 2 layers of drywall.

[@user-bd9fl4wx7g]

When I built my house we sheeted the main cabinet wall with plywood that was equal thickness to the sheet rock. It was a great backer to hang cabinets from. Didn’t have to worry about missing blocking.

We use split jamb door all the time, we just finished a new build and order 14 split jamb doors with RB3 trim and solid core doors. They looked great and installed in no time. Our painters caulked and painted and they looked great. Ive been thinking about ordering your tool belt, just have to get used to not wearing my old one. Coming to you from Upstate SC, Only about an hour and some change from you guys.

[@KarlMcCleve]

I am a Master Stair Builder. That is a great job!!

[@stephiluttrell3416]

There's not a lot of material at the bottom. I had to trim one an inch I think and there was just a sliver left. So I took the piece I cut off pull the front and back side off leaving just the wood. A touch of sanding followed by removing dust adding glue sliding the solid piece in clamped it and put a couple of 18 gauge brads on each side. It's now the right height for the carpet and has a decent amount of wood at the bottom.

[@osbengdeleon3510]

Good morning!🇵🇭

[@kd0407]

You guys are fantastic builders, but you'd benefit from learning how to float a wall with a mud knife. I love watching your videos and I've learned many things from you. Nonetheless, mud finishing is not that scary and actually quite rewarding when you pull it off. Why do nearly all contractors and sub-contractors shy away from drywall finishing? I guess I shouldn't complain, that has given me an edge (ha ha!) in the business many times. At any rate I think the work you do and your channel's content are great. Keep it up!

In my area split jamb doors can be ordered without casing.I would definitely shim split jambs though since they move so much

I think remodeling is much harder than building new. If something is not right in the original build, you have to adjust at every step along the way

[@munkydotorg]

I installed several of those split frame doors at my old house. Wacky opening widths, wacky everything. You do need to shim them, which can be difficult for wacky openings. But for the cost and ease they are great. Built a custom frame for one door, while it came out looking nicer, for me doing it DIY I don’t know if it would have been worth it if I didn’t have a specific need for how that door frame was set up. That being said, if I were getting a custom home build, I would prefer them being built by hand (looks better, feels better, will probably last longer, way more options about finish, etc), but would also be ok with that being the place to cut a cost if need be.

[@MattLaw-cn7ww]

You should mount that weather stations higher to get a accurate wind speed, since the house and trees mite block it, Also it would be cool if you did a 1 year review of the vevor product to see how they hold up over time.

[@barmanvarn]

I stay away from split jamb as it seems so often they aren’t treated well during shipping and they arrive with the trim all messed up. So I opt to do the trim separately. More work I guess but better than getting a damaged item and dealing with that.
