Our Process

Runner install, step by step

1

Measure every tread

Treads, risers, winders and landings, plus the width you want.

2

Choose runner and pad

Fibre, pattern and a stair-rated pad matched to the runner.

3

Remove and prep

Old carpet, staples and strip out. Surface cleaned.

4

Fit, fasten and walk through

Centred, pattern lined up, checked step by step with you.

From our projects

Winders and patterns take longer

A straight run is the baseline. Winders, curves and landings need individual cuts. A patterned runner has to line up on every step. We price that time in the quote instead of finding it on install day.

Runner or full stair carpet?

A runner suits stairs with finished wood worth showing. If the treads underneath are bare plywood or damaged, a runner won't hide enough. Full stair carpet is the better call there.

Where the price comes from

Step count, stair shape, runner fibre and width all move the price. No two staircases are the same, which is why we see yours before we quote.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a stair runner cost in Calgary?

Runners start from $1,100 with synthetic, $1,250 with nylon and $1,750 with wool. Hallway runners start from $800. Every staircase is different, so we quote after we see yours.

Can a runner go over my hardwood stairs?

Yes. That's the most common job. We agree the fastening method with you before work starts.

How long does the install take?

About 3 to 5 hours for a straight staircase. Winders, removal or pattern matching add time.

Do I need to remove the old stair carpet first?

Usually, yes. Carpet, pad and staples come out so the runner sits on a clean, flat surface.
