How to Install Carpet in a small room // Step by step for beginners

Carpet can be super intimidating, but in a smaller room it's actually pretty do-able. This isn't meant for a large room install, just a small room. I'll go over the steps, tools, and considerations to make for a complete install so you'll be off installing on your own in no time! So follow along.

Great tutorial. Female DIY’er here laying carpet in a small room today. Feeling more confident that I can do it. Thank you!

[dylan]

thanks for this, I've been up all night watching carpet installation videos and yours is by far the most clear and detailed one I've seen. I usually only do drywall, tile and vinyl but now I'm confident I can do some small carpeting. again, thank you so much for making this

[hannahc.]

This is the most accessible and easy to understand carpet installation video. THANK YOU!

As a veteran flooring installer I went to about 100 comments and I cannot believe nobody has said this is not at all how to lay carpeting it is more installed like how a pool table cloth is put over and stretched

Thank you so much for this demonstration! Me and my husband was going to hire a carpet installer, but honestly we don't feel the need anymore. We tend to enjoy doing these kind of projects ourselves. We appreciate you taking the time to explain each step thoroughly. Blessings!😁

2:20 the moment we were all waiting foooor lol! My dog would do the same thing lol! Great video now I have an idea on how to rip out my carpet and what tools I need !

[creedonphillips]

Thank you for the video! Finally a tutorial video that slows down to show you what to do, instead of zipping through the whole process while still being short enough to process!

[randoVibesNow]

Thank you. This is by far the best carpet installation video I've seen! Appreciate you!

[ninjazen]

Excellent tutorial! Best I've seen yet. I love when the videos are detailed yet simple and not rushed through for those whom are completely unfamiliar with said DIY project. THANK YOU!!

[mariarequena]

This video was so easy to follow. Thank you!! Saved us a few bucks by not paying someone to install for us.

This was by far leaps and bounds better than anything ive seen!!!! Youve got "d.i.y ers" shoeing you how to do something, with no narration and CLEARLY they are professionals, thats NOT what i need. You are amazing sir, kudos.

[chuggyhuggy]

been debating between vinyl and carpet for my studio. think you helped convince me to go with carpet lol. great video.

[sbell]

Great video! Just the help i was looking for. Will be using this tutorial next weekend to install carpet in my den. Thanks!

[Lauraopasco]

Thank you so much for this!!! I had my small hallway that needed carpeting and it was easy thanks to this guide!

[charliebrown]

Awesome video! I wasn't sure if I could tackle this on my own but after watching this I'm confident it can be done.

Pretty good video dude, as an installer I think you made it very clear for people wanting to do diy work. The tool you were thinking of with the poles is typically called a power stretcher, normally it's recommended to use one on all installations because the knee kicker is only for setup these days. I noticed you were using it as a computer room to I'd recommend getting one of those plastic or rubber office mats if you have a chair with wheels because they destroy carpet pretty quick.

Watching this made me feel way more confident so thank you! Using this to install carpet in a 10x11 ft room I will update when i finish!

[charlottea]

Detailed and clear video, hard to get one that just gets on with it and love your dog, ours does the same near any DIY situation! Thanks from the UK!

[skoalsoldier]

Great video! Very clear, with a lot of great tips and no fluff. Thanks!

I have a rectangle room with an uneven rockwall (basement). I tried saving the cutting for after I stretched the carpet with the kicker. Finished on the second wall and turn around to find the first wall pulled up and over like two inches. My knees are killing me already haha. Great video very clear instructions.
