Ripped Out Carpet On Stairs And Have Plywood Treads

Our main goal was to rip off the carpet see what wood was underneath and.

Ripped out carpet on stairs and have plywood treads.

This would have been so nice to have done to them my new house will. On your picture frames across the floor. It ended up being the perfect size when i was done and i didn t have to rip anything down. 1 re treads most expensive but might be easier.

We did this project over a full weekend and two additional weeks nights following. 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. This mama got bored last weekend and decided it was time to tackle a project that has been on my wish list to do list for a long long time. Heck you will be finding it everywhere for the weeks to come.

But it was rather square. I am on a tight budget and want to know if i can just sand these and paint them. We ve had several schools of thought on what to do so far the options are no more carpet. Replacing stair treads starts with tearing out carpet then staples and then cutting the old bullnoses.

We ripped up our awful carpet to find mdf stair treads and plywood landings. Since we moved into our house we have wanted to remove the carpet from our stairs and paint them. Well to be perfectly honest remove the carpet from our entire house. My husband and i recently tore the carpet from our stairs and painted the wood underneath creating a fresh clean and modern look.

In my old house i had ripped out the carpet on the stairs also. If you re going to do that measure the tread size cut the tread and then attach it. 2 replacing treads middle road expensive harder than number 1. I need to rip out the unfortunately not so old carpet and do something different.

We have plain old builder s plywood under the carpet. 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. All this is done inside your house so just imagine where all the dust is going to go.

Attach that piece with construction adhesive and nails as well. And also i am not sure what color to go with if i am able. In this video we re using a tread that already has a rounded front. The other option is to replace the tread piece entirely with a hardwood border.

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. I would guess around a three foot square.
