Whether it’s because of allergies or your desire to update, you can use any old reason to want to peel back the carpet and reveal wood when it comes to interior design – the same is true for your staircase. This DIY tutorial is a take-back of your carpeted stairs!
Hometalk.com features a how-to on removing carpet, staining and installing tread and risers, with tips on how to use some prefab materials, caulk, and a nail gun to make for an easy and fast project. This how-to required very little scraping, sanding, or painting and trumps the price tag you could face if you hire someone else to take on this project.
What you’ll need:
- Retro Tread Caps
- Wood glue (heavy duty) & caulk gun
- Nail gun & nails
- Wood floor finish
