How Do You Remove Carpet And Install Wood On Stairs?
As a writer I often get the chance to learn about everything from hybrid cars to exotic travel destinations. When I chose to write about how to remove the carpet and install wood on stairs it was because that is the next project in my own home. I have to add that I am married to a carpenter, so this probably isn’t “my” next project so much as it is my husband’s. Remove the carpet. Pull the carpet and padding from the stairs. The only thing you will need for this is a strong grip. Remove all exposed nails, staples and nail strips using a hammer or pliers. Measure your running boards to length. Steps are typically 11″ in depth from the step and roughly 6 and 3/4 ” from the riser. Your riser will already be in place. But you will need to measure and cut the number of steps you need. Make sure, after removing your carpet and installing wood on the stairs that you allow for nosing. This simply means that your step will “stick out” just a little rather than being flush with your riser. Sand
