Full stair carpet and runners

Both available, matched to your staircase and the rest of your flooring.

Nosing and edges tacked properly

For a secure, safe fit that doesn't lift over time.

Same attention on turns and landings

As on a straight run of stairs.

Full Stair Carpet vs. Runners

Full Stair Carpet

Covers the entire tread and riser, wall to wall – the standard choice for most staircases.

Stair Runners

Cover a strip down the centre, leaving exposed wood visible on either side.

Nosing Gets Extra Attention

The front edge of each tread takes the most wear – where carpet lifts first if it isn't tacked properly.

Our Process

Measuring and Tacking, Tread by Tread

1

Measure Every Tread

Treads and risers are rarely perfectly uniform.

2

Install Tackless Strip

At the base of each riser and back of each tread.

3

Fit & Tack the Carpet

Continuous or cut per step, depending on the staircase.

Not Just Looks

Why Stair Carpet Matters for Safety

Loose or lifting stair carpet is a genuine trip hazard, and it takes a beating from winter boots carrying salt and grit up and down multiple times a day.

Carpet Experts Calgary provides professional stair carpet installation throughout Calgary.

Winders, Open Sides and Spindles

Calgary two-storeys rarely have simple boxed staircases anymore – winders at the turn, open outer edges, and spindle rows set into the treads are all standard in newer builds. Each of those details means individual cutting and wrapping per step. It's the least forgiving carpet work in the house, which is exactly why it shouldn't go to the lowest bidder.

Pairing Stairs With Halls and Bedrooms

Stairs take more concentrated wear than any room they connect, so when stairs and upstairs carpet are done together we'll sometimes suggest a denser grade or firmer pad on the stairs even when the surrounding carpet matches. Done right, the transition is invisible and the stairs stop being the first place the carpet looks tired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you install a stair runner and leave the wood visible on the sides?

Yes – stair runners are a standard option alongside full wall-to-wall stair carpet.

How long does stair carpet installation take?

Most residential staircases are completed in a few hours, depending on the number of steps and any landings or turns.

Why does stair carpet cost more per square foot than a regular room?

Stairs take more labour time than an open floor due to the cutting and tacking involved on each individual step.
