Yes, custom stair work is our specialty. We excel at installing complex patterned carpets, including herringbone layouts and medallion designs.

Yes, absolutely. Installing carpet runners on pie-shaped steps, platforms, or staircases with 90-degree turns requires expert precision. We specialize in custom pattern matching and advanced geometrical layouts, ensuring that patterns like herringbone or medallions flow seamlessly and look continuous, even around sharp turns and landings.

Our standard choice for residential durability is a premium 8-pound heavy-density padding, which provides excellent support underfoot and significantly prolongs the life of your carpet. For busy households, we also provide high-performance upgrades, including spill-proof, lifeproof, and moisture-resistant paddings that prevent pet accidents or liquids from soaking into the subfloor.

For households with dogs or cats, we highly recommend selecting a durable, loop-free carpet, such as a cut-pile or plush texture, to prevent claws from snagging. To maximize protection, we pair this with upgrade options like moisture-resistant, lifeproof, or spill-proof padding. This combination helps prevent pet accidents and liquids from soaking into the subfloor, making cleanup easier and preventing lingering odors.
