How to Cover a Worn Landing Carpet with a Landing Rug · Step 1 of 6
In this video
Begin by closely examining the damaged carpet on the stair landing, noting the extent of the damage (e.g., stains, wear) and any imperfections from prior repairs, such as pattern misalignment or bubbles. Once the assessment is complete, use a utility knife to precisely cut around the perimeter of the damaged carpet section. Take care to cut cleanly through the carpet backing without damaging the underlying padding or subfloor. After cutting, carefully pull up and remove the damaged carpet piece, revealing the area where the new patch will be installed.
