Stair carpet installation in the Greater Alpharetta Area
Stairs are the loudest, slipperiest, and hardest-working part of any house. A properly installed carpeted stair runner or wall-to-wall carpet solves all three problems at once - quieter footsteps, softer landings if anyone slips, and a finish that hides the wear of daily traffic.
Prestigious Flooring & Design has been installing carpeted staircases across the Greater Alpharetta Area since 2017. Our in-house consultants handle layout, padding, tackless strips, and finishing details (waterfall vs. Hollywood wrap, French cap nosings, custom binding) so every stair lines up cleanly with no visible seams. If you'd rather carpet the whole floor to match, see our carpet flooring page.
Wall-to-wall vs. stair runner - which is right?
Wall-to-wall carpet covers the full tread and riser. It's the warmest, quietest, and most pet-friendly option, and it's the easiest to keep clean because there are no exposed wood edges to scuff.
A stair runner shows off the wood on either side of the stairs and works beautifully on staircases with painted risers or open balusters. Runners are typically 27" or 32" wide with custom-bound edges in a matching or contrasting tape.
- Low-pile nylon - best durability for high-traffic stairs
- Wool or wool-blend runners - premium look, naturally stain-resistant
- Solution-dyed polyester - best for households with pets and kids
- Custom binding in 30+ colors to match your trim

Learn moreWhy stair carpet outperforms hardwood for many homes
Hardwood stairs look stunning but they're slippery in socks, loud underfoot, and brutal on dropped phones. A quality carpet absorbs 22-35 decibels of impact noise, gives kids and older relatives a softer landing, and softens the morning trip to the kitchen in bare feet. If you have dogs that struggle with traction, carpeted stairs solve that overnight - no slippery scramble, no scratched nosings.
How we install carpet on stairs
We start by removing the old carpet, padding, staples, and tack strip and inspecting the wood underneath. Loose treads get re-screwed; squeaks get glued. Then our certified crew installs fresh rebond padding, tackless strips along each tread and riser, and stretches the carpet with a knee kicker and power stretcher so it stays tight for years. Every seam is heat-bonded - no visible joints, no fraying at the nosing. See our carpet tiles page if the landing at the top of the stairs is a home office or playroom.
Carpet stair pricing in the Greater Alpharetta Area
Pricing below is per stair, materials and labor included. A typical the Greater Alpharetta Area home has 13-16 stairs.

|---|---|---|
| Standard nylon carpet, wall-to-wall | $55 - $85 per stair | Most common choice |
| SmartStrand / stain-resistant | $80 - $115 per stair | Pet- and kid-friendly |
| Wool or wool-blend runner | $110 - $165 per stair | Custom-bound edges |
| Berber loop carpet | $65 - $95 per stair | Not recommended with cats |
Final price depends on stair count, whether we're removing existing carpet or wood, and pad upgrade. [Free in-home measure](/free-estimate) - no obligation.
Carpet Stairs - frequently asked questions
Low-pile nylon and SmartStrand. Both shrug off the constant friction stairs see. Avoid plush, deep-pile carpets - they crush quickly on the nosing.
Carpet hides them visually, but our crew fixes them properly first. Every loose tread gets re-screwed and any open joints get glued before new carpet goes down.
Yes, as long as the treads are structurally sound. We protect the wood underneath so you can switch back to bare hardwood later - or go the other way and see our hardwood stairs page.
It's great for durability and looks, but skip Berber if you have cats. The loops snag easily on claws. Our in-house consultants can walk you through samples in the Greater Alpharetta Area - get a free estimate to get started.
