- In this video I show you how I removed the ugly old carpet from my stairs and installed the same Hewn Stoneform flooring that I installed throughout the entire first floor of my house. This video will walk you through removing the existing flooring, prepping the treads and risers, and installing the new risers and plank. The color that we used for both the flooring and the stairs is Elite Elk and that is part of Hewn's Angela Rose color line.

I really like the work and the quality of it. It almost made me forget about the “see how many Festools I’ve got” vibe.
I’ve been building stair treads professionally for 137 years and this met my standards
😂😂😂 Now THAT’S the kind of expert comment we need more of.
Those are low standards,jesus😂
He needs to stick with making birdhouses.
Yes I remember the work you did 124 years ago. Long story short I haven’t hired you since!
Usually when someone adds how many years they have been doing stuff they are pretty good.
Wow that actually looks amazing. I really don't say that much as well.
the end result made all the effort worth it. Ive literally spent days on just prepping the exact same carpeted stair situation. the dust is really old and I would suggest a good mask. your is the best end result Ive seen. Very well done. Subscribed.
Thank you so much for this video. I have wanted to do this too, however my husband has been very reluctant. After seeing you both do yours he has agreed with me. We are moving forward on our staircase in the next two weeks. I will let you know. . .
Most helpful video! I was not sure about connection from the top of the stair and flooring but it solved my problem! Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Thank you! Your wife should increase your allowance for the outstanding work and hard labor you did.
"I like fancy stuff"
Truer words were never said
This is what I call perfection....amazing job 👍
Thank you so much 😀
My daughter painted her stairs which looked great initially, but over time with a lot of foot traffick they became very slippery and quite dangerous. Ended up having to re-carpet the whole stairs and landing area. Lesson learned!😊
Great look. For now I will stay with carpet and recarpeting of our stairwell. The kids and their friends going up and down all day, the Klacking noise would drive me crazy I will wait till they are out of the house. And I will also install white carpet in my living room. Lol.
I rarely comment on videos, but brilliant. Made it look simple.
Great video. Easily understood. Thanks
Very nice video and great work!!!
looks wonderful
Incidentally, a very very timely video for us, Jason. Thanks! I was sort of getting upset at having hairline gaps at the stringers, good to know I'm not alone. Not enough to bother scribing each step though.
😂😂😂😂😂
Looks good Richard 👍🏼
No comment at all you did a great job
I've done stairs in the past and getting it done with no gaps can be tricky. Nice job.
If you don't remove the existing treads, you will have a shorter rise on the top step and a higher rise on the bottom step in relation to the rest of the steps, which is not to code. Did you change the landing and bottom floor?
Beautiful
Thank you
مشالله تبارك الرحمن مبدع ممتاز الشغل ذا جميل خالص نشكرك لقد استفدنا من هذا الفيديو .
Glad to hear that
So professional n easy method
Nice tread jig 👌
Beautiful job and great video!
Thank you very much!
Nice professional job!
Thanks!
Nice... looks great
I hear ya brother. Just finished ripping up carpet accros 35 treads including removal of those timber tack strips, pulling our of staples and nails.
Good work! As a finish carpenter with young children, that would’ve taken me at least 3 months to complete 😂. I ripped out carpet in my dining room and installed LVP, but never got around to the shoe molding-that may take another year.
Lol I totally get it. I still haven’t done our baseboards since installing our flooring
Haha. That long? Even scribing it is only a 3 day job.
Nice job thx
I like fancy stuff too 😊
Fantastic work and great video with many great tips. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
When I did a similar job on my stairs with laminate planks replacing carpets, we ran into a issue with the noise of the stairs. The became quite loud and creaky. From what I have read, you need a thick wood for the tread to absorb the sound.
excellent work ...
Thanks a lot!
What wood you used for threads, noose and rrisers ? Thanks for sharing, good instruction and very neat
You got a discernible seam in the middle of each stair tread where you glued the two pieces together. I would think that could effect the integrity of each tread as time goes by. Also, not sure I particularly like the aesthetic of it…But…that’s just me.
Its meant to look like two separate pieces…
You do beautiful work! Ty!
Thank you so much!
Great work! What size router bit did u use ? The grit paper what number should I buy I’m struggling with the sanding ..
Hey, Jason a question - which size router did you use - seems like a beefy 1/2" shank one would get anywhere close to the corners. Did you just use the multi-tool for the remainder?
Very handy the flooring came with stair bullnose piece. My laminate floor upstairs didn't have a matching stair/bullnose piece so have to get creative. Oak veneered mdf for the threads with a strip of real oak for the bullnose but its going to be probably trickier to install
How is your project going?
Sanding the back of the tread is definitely a level 10 move. I don’t need to say it. But good job.
LOVE
I'm always wearing the Pods at work too. What are you listening to? Me, usually Eddie Trunk, Ozzy's Boneyard, or the Jim Florentine podcast.
Little bit of everything honestly
Does adhesive need to be used? Should I want to remove it in the later years
Which way is the correct way? Install the riser first then the treads or the treads then the riser ?
Most expensive too set I’ve ever seen lol bros got EVERYTHING festool lol
Awesome video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi. I recently discovered your channel, and am loving your content!
I have a question regarding a video you did about a year ago on your assembly table, the gear for it, and how you set it up for breaking down sheet goods. You used a couple of arrow tools to space the track saw between the dogs. Do you happen to remember where you purchased those arrows?
I just ordered my 3 Festool tables, and am putting the shopping list together for the other equipment you use.
Thanks again!
Dave Little
They actually came with the track hinge from dashboard. He may send something different now.
Sorry if I missed but what thickness was your risers and what would? Wanting to do paint grade wood but not sure what to pick
Hello from Martinsville!
Hello there!
Looks mint…👍
Thanks 👍
What should you do if you can't get the bullnose cut completely straight?
De pasada aquí soy profesional en instalación y puedo garantizar que ese trabajo quedo100% garantizado te recomendaría a los ojos cerrados que haría un buen trabajo
Love the bird house hammer he’s using. 😂
So when measuring the wood do u have to add inches to the original stairway size ?
What material did you use for the treads. Thank you
Stair video.. the bull nose..where is that from? Same place you get flooring? New to your channel but this was timely
Where did u buy the top stair wood? Or laminate
Was it more difficult or not feasible to remove those old stair treads and rises instead of cutting of those stair tread nose? I’m planning to do mine but trying to figure out what’s the best way to do it. Thanks
Nice job!👍 what is a price for stairs like that?
I didn’t have nosing on my stairs either. I’ve seen other videos where they filled in the n hollow space in the nosing, but I see you didn’t. Is that necessary?
Where can I find quick little jig, I want to buy, thanks.
I have question. When you removed the carpet, there is wood landers, why can’t just sand them nice and stain and just put only risers, since normally the risers are plywood and can’t be sanded and finished.
Is the bull nose cut for a specific look or is there a reason it's cut.
Can I stick tiles on old sticking tiles.
Where can i get these flooring pieces
Where do I buy the treads and the stair nosing? Thanks
Nice video! Question on treads, any concern with loss of tread depth due to the installation of the plywood facing?
I've been professionally building custom stairs for about 25 yrs. When you add a plywood to 'each' riser the tread depth stays the same. What changes is moving the entire staircase forward the thickness of the plywood. So if its 1/2" ply then your entire stairs is moved forward 1/2". Usually that is no big deal.
The bigger concern is that these flooring companies that sell these treads to match their flooring don't know how to make a real looking tread. They usually only have a 3/4" thick nosing on them (which looks like what he's using here) or sometimes they are way too thick like 1-1/2". A traditional wood tread measures around 1".
Second, according to the IRC (International Residential Code) which most state codes are based off of, the nosing must hang over the riser by 3/4" to 1-1/4". and the radius can not be more than 9/16". I have yet to see a flooring company that make one to fit these requirements. Many overhang less than 3/4".
Third when adding any kind of material directing over the main floor and/or the original treads and/or the second floor you risk violating code by changing the height of the risers either at the bottom or the top if you don't do the same on all 3 areas. This is hardly ever mentioned. Each riser MUST be the same height within 3/8" from the shortest to the tallest in a flight of stairs. There are so many variable that can change rise heights, but no one talks about it because they simply don't know what they are doing. Flooring manufactures aren't going to care or tell you they just want to sell you their product and DYI really don't know the code at all. In fact, most carpenter don't really build stair so they don't know either.
You really need a professional finish carpenter that builds stair (not all finish carpenters do) that understands the code to look at the stairs and see what can and can not be done. People trip and fall all the time on stairs and many have died because of stairs no meeting code requirements.
@@t.e.1189 I agree. I've been a finish carpenter for decades, and I bring in my stair guy when working on treads, railings, etc. You want someone that does NOTHING but stairs. It is a sub-specialty within finish carpentry.
@@t.e.1189I second all of that. I've seen some completed overlay jobs done by flooring companies, and most all were hideous. Tread noses hanging out past the stringers and much more. I was all about stairs professionally for 25 years also. Circular and winders mostly...straight stairs were boring to me, although I was instrumental in manufacturing improvements.
My understanding is to install the riser first and then butt the tread up to the riser. That way as you look at the stairs you won't see gaps at the base of the riser. Good video, lots of prep work but we'll worth it.
how did you did the qtr turns
Awesome!
Glad you think so!
Is there a way to renovate stairs without cutting exsiting stair nose
I would have pinned the bottom too - as the plank will cover the pinhole.
Really good job though bud.
You do really like your toys one for the job
Nice work. Did you custom make to nosing?
What would it cost to have someone install just the stairs? If the carpet is all removed and ready to go
👌🏾
Nice.. when I did my stairs I had saw thru the ends of a 2x12.
Not fun and very, very noisy and chaotic.
👍
How slippery are your stairs going down while wearing socks...just stripped our staircase from carpet, not sure yet how to recover them .
Concerned about failing !
I agree. Trying to decide what to do with my stairs.
To remove the tack strip you just need to tap the side of them with a hammer where the nails are and they come up easy.

What I did was cut both sides of the bull nose then hammered down to break it off,
I started from the top, proceeds to strip middle step
Mine will stay covered in carpet.
Why cut off that piece of the existing stair tread? Why not just use a spacer on the bottom?
The only problem i see is you shortened rise #1 3/4" and added 3/4 hght to last rise. Carpet counts for 1" tread that flooring is what, 1/4". As a custom stair guy 35 +yrs youd be surprised how just a 1/4" differential from rise to rise will trip you everytime. But who cares i dont gotta walk up it but looks great, good job.

Treating and/or painting the bare stairs after you'd removed the carpet would have given similar results with a lot less work
I don't think adhesive will hold on stairs over time.
Why didn't you use a proper flooring glue and trowel it on?
Design and safety wise, it’s a mistake to cut off the tread edge,
“A billion staples” I use 12 a stair facing, and you never shoot them down words into the stair where you step. Those carpet stairs were installed lazily
I've pulled carpet off a few stairs to find pet stench that would gag a maggot...oh and there will be blood...I don't care how careful you are.
Could you not just build out the riser to match the noise?
What were you doing with your mouth at 8:37 ?
I use solid oak treads.this crap will be out of style in 5 years! And I can match any flooring material and color.
Real massive wood covered with plastic.😢
I hope you were paid $1.000.000 for that.
I wish I was paid for it period
All that work and then install garbage
