Hi Shannon, followed your directions and my stairs came out like a professional did them. My wife was extremely happy with the results and I saved a bunch of cash! Please keep the videos coming.

I am a full time floor layer and I gotta say this is a video on KZfaq that is actually done right. Great job man! I watch a lot of flooring videos when I’m bored and a lot of the “installers” on KZfaq do things the wrong way. You have earned a subscriber

Great idea for installing pre-finished hardwood on stairs. I’ve wanted to replace my carpeted stair with wood but it’s been hard to find solid wood treads that I won’t have to finish myself. This option is also less expensive and more forgiving for DIYer with basic carpentry skills like me. I’m excited to try this 👍🏽

First I must say you have saved me thoooooousands of dollars on my home renovations from drywall to hardwood flooring throughout. For anyone who wish to do this on their own be sure to have very BRIGHT LIGHTS, 5 or more RAGS/CLOTH.. Focus the light on each stair as you install the floor. and use the cloth to clean the glue off the floor especially the small spots. Ignored spots will take hours to clean when dried.i know because I made the mistake .. Thanks again guys for sharing these videos I will always watch like and share your videos

Tomorrow I will finish the job with the matching hardwood. THANKS!

Thank you for making this video. I was looking hard for a video like this. Most channels demonstrate the full pre-made treads method. However, I have plenty of hardwood lying around from my upstairs project that I prefer using that for my stairs. IMO, this method looks more beautiful as well.

Being a floor layer and stair installer for 20plus years i can say that Shannon did a good on this video. from what i can see looks like he used a Somerset hardwood flooring on this job, Somerset is Made in the USA they make a great product, therefore is really easy to work it the flooring and the stair nose fit perfectly, the challenge comes when you used a cheap product mostly Chinese manufacturer; a lot times the manufacturer doesn’t make the moldings(stair nose)and they have a third party do it for them, that’s were problem begin (the stair nose don’t fit the flooring, color don’t match the flooring, the thickness is ether smaller or thicker than the flooring) or they simply don’t sell the parts and you will struggle trying to match your cheap flooring with other manufacturer stair nose, therefore I strongly recommend you to pick a Made in the USA manufacturer like Somerset, Homerwood, Maine traditions, Summitt flooring(made in California), Mirage(Made in Canada) and others that i not familiar with it, Made in the USA manufacturers they not only make good products but also they’re very environmentally responsible and a lot of them only use domestic species of wood. good luck with your project ✌🏼

Iv been doing hardwood for a long time, Just from experience, iv learned that working you way up is that best way. You put the tread all the way to the back and then set the riser on top. Just working better and is more forgiving to install.
