Creaky carpeted stairs

My stairs are super creaky. I don’t have access to to the stair’s underside. I’m thinking of pulling up the carpet to glue and screw the treads and risers. How difficult is it to re-install the old carpet? Do I replace the carpet pad with new? Do use the existing tack strips or need to buy new? What tools will I need to re-install the carpet? submitted by /u/philhiggledy [link] [comments]
