To install carpet on stairs, follow these steps: First, cut the carpet pad and place tackless strips. Next, staple the carpet pad. Then, fit the carpet using the waterfall or upholstered method. Use a kicker for tight corners. Focus on accuracy and safety for the best results.
Next, prepare the stairs. Remove any old carpet or debris. Clean the surfaces thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion. Attach the carpet padding using staples. Position the padding starting from the bottom step and work upwards. Trim the padding edges for a neat fit.
Now, lay the carpet. Align it with the bottom step, leaving excess material to wrap around. Use a stair tool to tuck the carpet into the corners and edges. Secure it with staples or carpet adhesive. Cut the carpet at the top to fit snugly against any wall or railing. Finally, trim any excess carpet along the edges for a clean finish.
With the carpet beautifully installed, you now have an upgraded staircase. In the following section, we will explore maintenance tips and tricks to keep your new carpet looking fresh and clean for years to come.
