Your stairs don’t have to be a slippery hazard or an eyesore. With professional stair carpet runners, you get the grip your family needs and the elegance your home deserves.
No more worrying about slips on hardwood steps. No more echoing footsteps at all hours. Just beautiful, safe stairs that make the right impression from the moment someone walks through your door.
The difference is immediate. Soft underfoot, quiet when walked on, and striking enough that your staircase becomes a design feature rather than something you wish you could hide.
We’ve been serving Hauppauge families for years, understanding exactly what Long Island homes need. We know the unique challenges of local architecture, from traditional colonials to modern designs.
Our team doesn’t just sell carpet runners—we solve problems. Whether you’re dealing with slippery stairs that worry you every time your kids run up them, or you want to add warmth and style to a cold, echoing stairwell.
With the Beautiful Guarantee® backing every installation, you get peace of mind that’s rare in the flooring industry. If you don’t love your floors, we’ll replace them for free.
The process starts with a free in-home consultation where we measure your stairs and discuss your style preferences. You’ll see samples in your actual lighting conditions, not under harsh showroom fluorescents.
Once you’ve chosen your runner, our experienced installers handle the precision cutting and fitting. We understand the complexities of pattern matching, corner turns, and the exact measurements needed for a flawless installation.
Installation typically takes one to two days for most staircases. We protect your home during the process and clean up completely when finished. You’re left with professionally installed stair runners that look like they were always meant to be there.

Hauppauge homeowners expect quality, and our stair runners deliver. From high-density wool that naturally resists wear to synthetic fibers engineered for busy families, every option is chosen for durability and style.
Our selection includes everything from classic patterns that complement traditional Long Island homes to contemporary designs for modern spaces. Rich browns and warm tones are particularly popular right now, moving away from the cooler grays that dominated recent years.
Custom binding options ensure your runner integrates seamlessly with your existing décor. Whether you need a subtle neutral or want to make a bold statement, our customization options accommodate your vision while maintaining the practical benefits that make stair runners essential.
Professional installation typically ranges from $299 to $350 for straight staircases, with material costs varying based on your chosen carpet quality and fiber type. A basic 27-inch runner starts around $30 per linear foot, while custom broadloom runners begin at $499 before installation.
Most Hauppauge homes need approximately 23 linear feet of material for a standard straight staircase. Complex staircases with landings or turns require 15-25% more material and labor due to the precision cutting and pattern matching involved.
The investment pays off in safety, noise reduction, and home value. Many homeowners find that quality stair runners last decades when properly maintained, making them a smart long-term investment for busy family homes.
Wool remains the gold standard for stair runners because of its natural resilience and ability to bounce back from heavy foot traffic. High-density wool runners can last a lifetime in most homes and naturally resist stains and wear.
For families with pets or young children, synthetic options like nylon offer excellent durability with easier maintenance. Nylon runners resist stains and can handle frequent cleaning without losing their appearance or structural integrity.
Wool-nylon blends provide the best of both worlds—the luxurious feel and natural properties of wool with the added durability of synthetic fibers. This combination works particularly well for Hauppauge families who want both elegance and practicality.
Yes, our professional installers can create custom runners for virtually any staircase configuration, including curved stairs, landings with 90-degree turns, and pie-shaped steps. These installations require more material and specialized cutting techniques, but the results are worth it.
Complex installations involve careful pattern matching and precise measurements to ensure the runner flows naturally around curves and turns. The key is working with experienced installers who understand the geometry involved in these challenging projects.
Custom staircases often become the most stunning installations because they require creative solutions that result in truly unique focal points. Many Hauppauge homes have architectural details that benefit from this level of customization.
Stair runners create textured surfaces that provide crucial grip, especially important since falls on stairs cause thousands of injuries annually. The carpet fibers give feet something to grip, reducing the slip risk that’s common with smooth hardwood or painted steps.
The padding underneath runners provides cushioning that can reduce injury severity if someone does fall. This extra layer of protection is particularly valuable for homes with young children learning to navigate stairs or elderly residents who may be less steady.
Beyond physical safety, runners reduce the anxiety many people feel about using slippery stairs. When family members feel confident on the stairs, they’re less likely to rush or take unsafe shortcuts that can lead to accidents.
Regular vacuuming keeps runners looking their best—weekly for most households, more frequently for homes with pets or heavy traffic. Use vacuum attachments designed for stairs to clean each step thoroughly without damaging the carpet fibers.
Spot cleaning spills immediately prevents stains from setting. Blot rather than rub, and use carpet cleaner or mild detergent for most spills. Many modern runners include stain-resistant treatments that make cleanup easier.
Professional cleaning every 12-18 months extends the runner’s life significantly. This deep cleaning removes embedded dirt and refreshes the carpet fibers, keeping your investment looking new for years longer than runners that only receive home maintenance.
Most straight staircase installations complete in one to two days, depending on the complexity and size of your project. Simple, straight runs often finish in a single day, while staircases with multiple turns or landings may require additional time.
The timeline includes final measuring, any necessary carpet cutting and binding, and the actual installation process. We work efficiently while maintaining the precision needed for a flawless result that will last for decades.
Custom runners that require special cutting or pattern matching may need additional preparation time before installation begins. We’ll provide a clear timeline during the initial consultation so you can plan accordingly.
