Tearing Up Carpet On Stairs
The blue stuff is the carpet padding and the arrows show where the nail strips are.
Tearing up carpet on stairs. If there s a metal nosing at the top of the stairs pry it up to remove it. 2 pull carpet over to the left until reaching the spindles. 1 pry up the right corner. Hopefully that will happen next summer.
I only want to have carpet in the bedrooms one day. Here are smart jr s pictures of me ripping off the second to last stair. This works fine for now. Some stairs are covered with short sections of carpet that wrap over just one tread and riser.
My method was this. 4 tear up padding and put in garbage bag. Wear gloves to protect your hands from the staples that hold the carpet in place. If not cut the carpet near the top of the top riser grab the cut end and pull the carpet off the stairs by hand.
I have plans to install hardwoods in our upstairs hallway. 3 cut or tear off carpet and put in garbage bag.
