I Used This Wall Edger to Paint My Stairs, and I’m Never Going Back

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

For some reason, I have painted a lot of stairs in my time. Exterior, interior—I’ve painted more stairs than I ever imagined I would. But sometimes, painting stairs is the easiest way to transform them. When my wife and I moved into our house, the stairs were covered in this truly awful green carpet. We tore that up almost immediately, and I figured I’d just paint the stairs as a short-term solution. But we wound up actually liking the paint, and just left it there.

It’s getting a little worn, though, so it’s time to refresh the paint job, and we thought it was a good idea to change things up by painting the risers a lighter color, for contrast (we’re fancy like that). This gave me the chance to use one of my favorite little painting hacks: A wall edging pad on stair risers. I forget who showed this to me, but it makes the whole process a lot faster. In the past, painting something like stairs with all those angles and corners would mean a metric ton of painter’s tape and a stiff wrist from using a cut brush. (I’m pretty good with a cut brush these days and skip a lot of taping, but stairs still present a challenge.) But using a wall edging pad means I can skip all the tape and save my wrist a lot of strain.

You can see here what the stairs looked like before I began—obviously, they needed a little attention.

I gathered my supplies:

  • I bought this pad painter from Shur-Line. The 7-inch size is about right for stair risers, and it features a swivel pad holder that locks into the angle you need. I picked up a refill pad, too, just in case.

  • A tube of painter’s caulk so I could fill in any gaps that have opened up over the years.

  • Some painter’s tape, just to be safe—even the best painting trick sometimes runs into trouble.

  • Some cut brushes for the same reason—these are old stairs that haven’t seen a 90° angle in years, so I anticipated some spots where a brush might be necessary.

  • Primer and a paint tray—the actual paint color will match the walls.

Equipped with everything, I got to work.

How to paint your stair risers with an edging pad

I didn’t bother taping off the treads—I just filled the pan with primer and grabbed the pad. The black button in the middle locks the pad at whatever angle you need; it’s easy to press it with your thumb to adjust on the fly. You can slide the pad out (and a new one in) by pressing the lock tab in the middle. Then you dip the pad into the paint/primer and press it out a bit to get rid of excess paint:

When the pad isn’t dripping, and you’ve got it loaded with a manageable amount of paint that you can control, just place it against the stair riser and move it horizontally:

Since the pad is rectangular, it produces a straight, sharp line without taping or cutting, and it doesn’t have as many lines as a brush. And since it’s flat and designed to be used as an edger (and painting stair risers is essentially just working all edges), you can get right to the edge, which you can’t do when using a roller. Sometimes it’s useful to slide the pad out of the holder and use it manually, because the pad is more flexible and bendy, so you can have a little more control in tight corners.

It takes a bit of practice to get it right, but once you have the hang of it, you can breeze through those risers very quickly. If you want to cut down your prep and painting time on stairs, using an edger pad like this is the way. Here’s my final product:

After!

The stairs are old and don’t have any straight lines left, but the risers turned out pretty neat—all without taping. I probably saved myself about an hour of work painting these stairs this way.

Nick Pivetta on IL; Alek Jacob, Matt Waldron called up

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA – APRIL 12: Nick Pivetta #27 of the San Diego Padres pitches against the Colorado Rockies during the first inning at Petco Park on April 12, 2026 in San Diego, California. (Photo by Orlando Ramirez/Getty Images) | Getty Images

The San Diego Padres officially announced that starter Nick Pivetta, who suffered an injury while pitching on Sunday, is being placed on the 15-day injured list. It will be retroactive to April 13. The diagnosis is right elbow inflammation. Pivetta was in the fourth inning of a perfect start against the Colorado Rockies when his velocity dropped and manager Craig Stammen walked out and took the ball.

Starter Matt Waldron and reliever Alek Jacob have been brought up from Triple-A El Paso with Waldron saying (per Padres media) that he will be starting on Friday in Anaheim against the Angels. Waldron has had starts for the Chihuahuas with 12 innings pitched and has allowed seven hits and no runs with 12 strikeouts.

His last start was April 9, going five innings with two hits and no runs with three strikeouts. Friday would normally be the spot for Germán Márquez, following Walker Buehler on Thursday, but the starting pitchers past today’s game against the Mariners have not been announced by the Padres.

Jacob can be activated and used out of the bullpen until Waldron is needed to start. That would give the bullpen a fresher arm to relieve some stress on the current pitchers. Jacob last pitched 1.2 innings on Sunday for El Paso. He has pitched 7.1 innings over five games with a 0.00 ERA. He has six strikeouts and three walks.

Pivetta was placed on the injured list by the Boston Red Sox, his team in 2024, with a right elbow flexor strain and he was activated after a month on the IL. He also experienced what was described as arm fatigue during Spring Training this year and was shut down for a start before resuming his build up.

There was no announcement regarding elbow imaging done or if that is in the plan for Pivetta.

Neymar ends a 14-year drought!

Neymar ends a 14-year drought!

Neymar is smiling again, as after days of uncertainty over his physical condition, he puts the criticism on hold and ends a ¡14-year! goal drought.

The Brazilian star put Santos ahead in the Copa Sudamericana four minutes after kickoff, a goal that stands out in his record as a killer, since he scored again in a Conmebol club tournament after just over a decade.

Tigers 2, Royals 1: Framber Valdez’s groundballs keep things alive for the Tigers

DETROIT, MICHIGAN – APRIL 14: Jonathan India #6 of the Kansas City Royals throws the ball to first base as Kevin McGonigle #7 of the Detroit Tigers collides with him during the bottom of the first inning at Comerica Park on April 14, 2026 in Detroit, Michigan. McGonigle was out at second base and Dillon Dingler #13 of the Detroit Tigers was thrown out at first base to complete the double play. (Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images) | Getty Images

The Tigers are happy to be home. They had an incredible weekend sweep against the Marlins, and with division rivals the Kansas City Royals in town for a three-game series, they were hoping to keep climbing in the AL Central standings. For the first game of the series, Framber Valdez was up against Cole Ragans. Valdez had a rough go in his last outing and was looking for some redemption at home.

In the top of the first, Maikel Garcia reached on a fielding error by Kevin McGonigle at third. Bobby Witt Jr., who is certain to be a problem for the Tigers this series, grounded into a double play, and another out wrapped up the ending with no damage done. In the home half, Matt Vierling hit a one-out single. Isaac Collins, the Royals’ left fielder, chased down a Kevin McGonigle foul, landing in the seats and soon exiting the game entirely.

McGonigle ended up walking, but then a double play ended the inning.

Salvador Perez kicked off the second with a single. A groundout then resulted in possibly the funniest out of the season, as Framber Valdez knocked down a ball from Vinnie Pasquantino, going to the ground and struggling to get a grip on it before making the slowest toss in history to second and still managing to get the out. Pasquantino did manage to get safely to first, though. Starling Marte then singled. Jonathan India walked to load the bases. Carter Jensen grounded into a force out, eliminating India, but scoring Pasquantino, putting the Royals on the board first. The Royals would have to settle for the one run, though. In the bottom of the inning, Ragans got the Tigers out in order.

In the top of the third, Valdez finally got his feet under him a little better, getting two outs before giving up a walk to Lane Thomas. In the home half, the Tigers went down 1-2-3 again.

The fourth finally went entirely smoothly for Valdez as he got the Royals to go three-up, three-down. Matt Vierling for MVP of this game as he got on base for the second time in the game, this time with a walk. A McGonigle groundout advanced him to second. A Dingler groundout got Vierling to third. On a lengthy plate battle (and hoping to finally, finally get on base) Wenceel Perez went to a full count, before a called strikeout, which he then challenged, and good for him, because it was ruled ball four and got him a free base. The Tigers couldn’t manage to get a run across though.

The top of the fifth saw the Royals go 1-2-3 again. Hurray! In the bottom of the inning Spencer Torkelson took a leadoff walk twice. The first time the ball four call was overturned on a challenge, then he worked the count again and got on base. The effort didn’t pay off, though as a pop out and double play ended the inning.

Bobby Witt Jr. got a leadoff single in the top of the sixth. Three outs followed, including Valdez’s first strikeout of the game. The man just really loves inducing a ground ball, what can I say? Speaking of groundouts, the Tigers got two of them in the bottom of the inning, plus a lineout for a little fun.

The Royals went 1-2-3 in the top of the seventh. In the home half, it was getting on to crunch time for the Tigers, who needed to act soon if they were planning to make some kind of comeback and not lose the game by a single run. The Royals were the first to go to their bullpen, bringing in Matt Strahm. Dingler got things going with a leadoff single to the infield, beating out a slow throw by Maikel Garcia. With two outs, Torkelson drew a walk, and it was up to Javier Baez. But death by groundout continued, and the Tigers left the inning with a goose egg on the scoreboard.

Valdez’s day was done, with a final line of 7.0 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K on 87 pitches. Having a pitcher who is good at inducing groundballs is swell, but you need to have the infield defense to make it work for you. Unclear at this point if the Tigers have the necessary combo for success. Still, decidedly a better outing for Valdez overall. Will Vest came on to replace him. And you know who does strikeout batters? Will Vest. He did it three times in a row, in fact, and man, there’s just something extra enjoyable about watching fastball strikeouts after watching a pitcher who specializes in weak contact. Mmmm, fastballs. In the home hald, Nick Mears was the newest Royals pitcher to face the Tigers. Zach McKinstry got a leadoff double. Gleyber Torres hit a grounder to get McKinstry to third. Colt Keith came off the bench to pinch hit for Vierling. He hit a liner down the middle but Bobby Witt Jr. is a menace and smothered what would have been an RBI single for the second out of the inning. It’s really rude when he’s good against us. A wild pitch by Mears and heads up baserunning scored the Tigers’ first run of the game to tie things up.

McGonigle took a walk. Dingler then drove the ball right down the third base line and McGonigle went first to third on the double, giving the Tigers the lead. The Tigers wouldn’t get any more runs, but they had the lead, and the best closer in the business coming up.

Kenley Jansen came in for the ninth. Lane Thomas got a leadoff single. Thomas stole second, and while McKinstry did try a really fun jump-over-the-runner-and-tag-him-on-the-head play, it was just a little too slow. A Perez groundout advanced Thomas to third. A Pasquantino groundout put the Tigers just one out from victory, and one runner 90 feet from a tie game. Let’s all hold our breath. A flyout to Baez after getting to a full count ended the game, and Jansen managed to snag himself a save that puts him alone at third all-time saves leader with 479.

Tigers’ bats come alive in eighth inning for 2-1 win over Royals

Detroit – A pair of top-tier lefties took the air out of the baseball for six and a half innings at Comerica Park Tuesday night, before the Tigers found a way to scratch out a 2-1 win over the Royals at Comerica Park.

Down 1-0 in the bottom of the eighth, Zach McKinstry doubled, went to third on a ground out by Gleyber Torres and, with two outs, scored on a wild pitch by reliever Nick Mears.

Rookie Kevin McGonigle walked to keep the inning alive and scored from first on a double by Dillon Dingler. Dingler hit a rocket that went through third baseman Maikel Garcia and into the left-field corner. The ball left Dingler’s bat at 106.7 mph.

Kenley Jansen stranded Lane Thomas at third base with one out, getting Vinnie Pasquantino to ground out to second and Starling Marte to fly out. It was Jansen’s 479th career save, moving into third place alone on the all-time list.

The win extended the Tigers’ winning streak to four.

In an era where pitchers are paid by the strikeout and whiff, Cole Ragans and Framber Valdez faced a combined 47 hitters, got just two strikeouts and seven whiffs between them and yet dominated the game.  

The Tigers only had one infield hit against Ragans in his six innings of work. That was an infield hit by Matt Vierling.

They did work four walks, two in the fourth when they put runners on the corners with two outs. Riley Greene took Ragans to a 3-2 count but grounded out to second.

The Tigers had a hard time getting balls in the air against Ragans’ four-seam, cutter and changeup mix. He got 10 ground ball outs and two double-play balls through six innings. He also broke four bats.

Valdez was just as stingy. He was nicked for three singles in his seven innings. And he induced 10 ground ball outs.

The lone run came in the second inning on a bases-loaded fielder’s choice. After Salvador Perez slapped an opposite-field single to start the inning, Valdez fielded a comebacker from Vinnie Pasquantino. If he makes a strong throw second, the Tigers would’ve turned a double-play.

Instead, Valdez threw a slow, one-hopper to Javier Baez at second base, barely getting the slow-running Perez. Pasquantino ended up scoring the run.

It was his only real mistake. He needed just 87 pitches and left to a standing ovation after the seventh.

Right-hander Will Vest took the baton from Valdez and struck out the side in the eighth.

The Royals’ starting left fielder Isaac Collins left the game in the bottom of the first inning with a right knee contusion. He chased Kevin McGonigle’s foul fly toward the seats and hit the railing hard and flipped over into the crowd.
