Ripped Out Carpet On Stairs And Have Plywood Treads

In my old house i had ripped out the carpet on the stairs also.

Ripped out carpet on stairs and have plywood treads.

This is our stairs before. 2 replacing treads middle road expensive harder than number 1. We ripped up our awful carpet to find mdf stair treads and plywood landings. In this video we re using a tread that already has a rounded front.

If you re going to do that measure the tread size cut the tread and then attach it. It ended up being the perfect size when i was done and i didn t have to rip anything down. I need to rip out the unfortunately not so old carpet and do something different. Our main goal was to rip off the carpet see what wood was underneath and.

And also i am not sure what color to go with if i am able. We ve had several schools of thought on what to do so far the options are no more carpet. All this is done inside your house so just imagine where all the dust is going to go. 1 re treads most expensive but might be easier.

The other option is to replace the tread piece entirely with a hardwood border. If you prefer you can round over a piece of wood. It took about 30 minutes to rip up the plywood 30 minutes to paint the stair risers including setup and clean up about an hour to draw the lines and then another 30 minutes to nail the stairs and apply caulk. I would guess around a three foot square.

Attach that piece with construction adhesive and nails as well. Well to be perfectly honest remove the carpet from our entire house. Replacing stair treads starts with tearing out carpet then staples and then cutting the old bullnoses. My husband and i recently tore the carpet from our stairs and painted the wood underneath creating a fresh clean and modern look.

Heck you will be finding it everywhere for the weeks to come. I am on a tight budget and want to know if i can just sand these and paint them. We have plain old builder s plywood under the carpet. We did this project over a full weekend and two additional weeks nights following.

The carpet was old and dirty giving the entry a very dark and dated feel. Since we moved into our house we have wanted to remove the carpet from our stairs and paint them. Currently we have a stair case that has 2 steps going up then a landing then a left turn to more stairs up to our loft. I cannot stress this enough.

But it was rather square. I ended up using one stair tread two red oak boards that were 12 or 14 inches wide and a smaller one that was 2 or 3 inches wide.
