Custom stair runner installation

Any carpet becomes a stair runner. I cut it to your staircase, bind the edges so they never fray, and wrap every step Hollywood-style — tight to the nose, not floating over it. Most installers don't offer this. It's one of my favorite jobs.

Runner carpet is priced by the material your staircase needs — text me your step count and roughly how wide your steps are, and I'll price the whole thing same day. All prices tax-included.

Why runners done right last

Wrapped, not draped. Hollywood style follows each step's nose so the runner reads tailored, holds tight, and doesn't shift underfoot.
Edges that never fray. Every runner is machine-bound or serged before it touches your stairs — the difference between custom work and a cut piece of carpet.
Your carpet, your width. Pick from my samples or supply your own. Full-width or classic border reveal — measured to your staircase, not a stock size.

Common questions

How much does a stair runner cost?
Install runs $4 per linear foot of step width with a $12 per step minimum — a standard 13-step staircase lands around $156 in labor. Add the carpet your staircase needs, edge binding from $3.95/LF, and optional felt pad at $0.85/SF. Text me your step count and I'll give you a real number same day, tax included.
Can you use any carpet for a runner?
Yes. Any carpet in my samples — or carpet you supply — can be cut and bound into a runner. Patterned, solid, wool-look, loop: if it can be bound, it can run your stairs.
What is a Hollywood-style stair runner?
The runner is wrapped tightly around the nose of each step and secured underneath, so it follows the stair's shape instead of waterfalling loosely over it. It looks tailored and wears better because there's no loose material to catch a heel.
Do you install stair runners across Hamilton County?
Yes — Noblesville, Carmel, Fishers, Westfield, Zionsville, McCordsville, and the Indianapolis metro. Based in Noblesville, on the road all over Indiana.
