We install both premade and custom stair runners and can help you find the right option for your staircase, home, and budget.

Straight staircases are often suitable for standard premade runners. More complicated staircases with landings, turns, pie-shaped steps, or unusual dimensions may require custom planning and installation.

Why Choose 99 Carpets for Your Stair Runner?

Every staircase is different, and choosing the right runner is only part of the project. Proper measuring, layout, pattern placement, and installation all contribute to the finished appearance.

At 99 Carpets, we help homeowners throughout New Jersey with the complete stair runner process.

Carpet Selection

We can show you different carpet colors, patterns, textures, and fibers so you can compare options for your staircase.

Custom Staircase Planning

Staircases with landings, turns, winder steps, pie-shaped steps, or unusual dimensions may require a different approach than a simple straight staircase.

Pattern Placement

Patterned runners require careful planning. We consider the direction and placement of the pattern so the finished staircase looks balanced and consistent.

Wool & Specialty Runners

We offer stair runner options in different carpet fibers, including wool and synthetic materials, depending on the look, performance, and budget you're seeking.

Professional Installation

Our goal is a clean, secure installation with attention to the runner's position, edges, pattern, transitions, and overall appearance.

Stair Runner Options

Patterned Stair Runners

Patterned runners can make a staircase a major design feature in your home. Traditional, geometric, floral, and other patterns can be used to complement your home's existing design.

Herringbone Stair Runners

Herringbone is a popular choice for homeowners looking for a more distinctive staircase. Because the pattern has a strong directional design, careful installation and pattern positioning are especially important.

Wool Stair Runners

Wool is a premium natural fiber known for its appearance, softness, durability, and performance. Wool stair runners can be an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a high-end staircase finish.

Custom Stair Runners

Custom runners provide additional flexibility when standard runner sizes or patterns aren't suitable for your staircase. They can be especially useful for complicated staircases or specific design requirements.

Traditional & Oriental-Style Runners

Traditional and oriental-inspired patterns can add character and visual interest to a staircase while working with classic and transitional interior designs.

Solid-Color Stair Runners

A solid runner provides a simpler, more understated appearance and allows the staircase's architectural details and surrounding woodwork to remain the focus.

Stair Runners for Complex Staircases

Not every staircase is a simple straight flight.

99 Carpets can evaluate staircases that include:

  • Winder stairs
  • Pie-shaped steps
  • Staircase landings
  • 90-degree turns
  • Multiple flights
  • Changes in direction
  • Uneven or unusual step dimensions
  • Patterned runner installations

These staircases may require additional planning because the runner has to follow the shape and direction of the staircase while maintaining an attractive appearance.

During the estimate, we evaluate the staircase and explain which runner options and installation methods are appropriate for the specific configuration.

Stair Runners on Hardwood Stairs

A stair runner can provide a softer and more comfortable surface while still allowing the beauty of hardwood stairs to remain visible.

The width and placement of the runner can be selected to create the appearance you want, whether you're looking for a traditional centered runner or another design approach.

Before installation, we evaluate the existing staircase and determine the appropriate installation method for the specific stairs and runner.

How Much Does a Stair Runner Cost?

The cost of a stair runner depends on several factors, including the number and shape of the steps, runner material, carpet fiber, pattern, runner width, whether the runner is premade or custom, and the installation requirements.

A simple straight staircase may have different requirements from a staircase with a landing, turn, or pie-shaped steps.

Premium materials such as wool and custom-designed runners can also have a higher material cost than standard synthetic or premade options.

The best way to determine the cost of your staircase is to have the actual stairs measured and evaluated.

99 Carpets provides free in-home estimates so we can show you appropriate options and provide pricing for your specific staircase.
