Expert Stair Craftmanship

Carpet remains one of the safest, quietest, and most comfortable options for stairs. How the carpet is applied can completely transform the character of your home. We specialize in three distinct upholstery techniques:

• The Waterfall Method: Clean and modern. The carpet flows continuously from the edge of the tread directly to the base of the riser below, creating a sleek cascade effect that is perfect for showcasing patterned carpets.

• The French Cap (Bull nose) Method: Tailored and sophisticated. The carpet is pulled tightly over the edge of the step and tucked perfectly underneath the "lip" before running down the riser, highlighting the architectural shape of each individual stair.(keep in mind not all homes are built equal some homes don't have overlapping headers to wrap around)

• The Carpet Runner (The Timeless Classic): Perfect for traditional homes, a runner is a strip of carpet centered on the stairs, leaving the beautiful hardwood visible on both sides. We finish edges with custom binding or serging and can add decorative stair rods for an elegant, historic feel.

 Tips: What to Expect

A true professional doesn't just lay the floor; they prepare you for the whole project. When planning a stair renovation, keep these two critical details in mind:

• The Squeak Treatment: Stairs take a beating, and old wood naturally loosens over time. Before we install a single plank or piece of carpet, we take the time to inspect and reinforce your stair treads, screwing down loose wood to silence those annoying squeaks.

• The "Paint Line" Reality: Just like replacing baseboards, changing your flooring thickness can expose the past. If we are removing thick, old carpet and installing sleek LVP, you will likely see an old paint line or unpainted wood on your side stringers (skirt boards). We recommend planning for a quick touch-up from a painter once our installation is complete to make your new staircase truly pop!
