You’ll never worry about slipping on bare hardwood steps again. Your custom stair carpet runners provide the traction and cushioning that keep your family safe, especially children and elderly family members who are most at risk on slippery surfaces.
The constant noise of footsteps echoing through your home becomes a thing of the past. Quality carpet runners absorb sound dramatically better than hard surfaces, creating the quiet, serene atmosphere your North Fork home deserves.
Your stairs become a stunning design feature rather than just a functional necessity. With endless options in colors, patterns, and textures, your custom runners complement your home’s aesthetic while protecting your valuable hardwood investment from scratches, scuffs, and daily wear.
We’ve been serving Mattituck and the North Fork community since 1988. We understand the unique character of homes in this area—from historic farmhouses to modern estates—and how the right stair runners can enhance both safety and style.
Our team knows that Mattituck homeowners value quality and craftsmanship. That’s why we offer only premium materials and professional installation, backed by our Beautiful Guarantee. If you’re not completely satisfied with your stair runners, we’ll replace them at no cost.
We’re not just another flooring store. We’re your neighbors, and we’re invested in making sure every project enhances your home’s comfort and value for years to come.
We start with a free in-home consultation where we measure your stairs precisely and discuss your style preferences. You’ll see actual samples in your home’s lighting, so you know exactly how your runners will look before we order anything.
Once you’ve selected your materials, we handle the custom fabrication. Every runner is cut to fit your specific staircase dimensions, whether you have straight stairs, curves, or landings that require special attention.
Our experienced installers arrive on schedule and complete the work efficiently. We use professional-grade padding and secure attachment methods that ensure your runners stay in place and perform beautifully. When we’re finished, we clean up completely, leaving you with stairs that are immediately ready for daily use.

Your stair runner installation includes everything needed for long-lasting performance. We provide high-density padding that extends carpet life and improves comfort underfoot. Our secure installation methods prevent shifting or bunching that can create trip hazards.
Mattituck homes often feature unique architectural details, and we’re equipped to handle complex installations. Whether your staircase has curved sections, multiple landings, or custom dimensions, our team has the expertise to create a flawless fit.
We source materials from trusted manufacturers known for durability and style. Wool runners offer luxury and natural stain resistance, while synthetic options provide excellent performance for busy households. Medium-tone colors with subtle patterns work especially well in North Fork homes, hiding everyday wear while complementing both traditional and contemporary décor.
Professional stair runner installation typically ranges from $22 to $60 per linear foot, including materials and labor. The final cost depends on your chosen material, staircase complexity, and any custom fabrication needs.
Wool runners represent the premium option, starting around $8 per square foot for materials, while high-quality synthetic options begin around $4 per square foot. For a typical Mattituck home with 12-15 steps, expect to invest between $800 and $2,500 for a complete installation.
We provide detailed, written estimates with no surprises. Our pricing includes professional measurement, custom cutting, quality padding, and expert installation—everything needed for runners that perform beautifully for years.
Nylon and wool blends offer the ideal combination of durability and cleanability for active households. These materials resist stains and wear while providing the safety benefits that matter most when you have children or pets using the stairs regularly.
Medium-tone colors with subtle patterns or texture work best for hiding everyday wear and minor stains. Avoid very light colors that show dirt easily, and skip natural fibers like sisal if easy cleanup is important—these materials can’t be effectively cleaned once stained.
Quality padding underneath your runners provides extra cushioning that’s gentler on both human feet and pet paws. It also helps absorb sound, which means less noise when kids or pets are running up and down the stairs throughout the day.
Most stair runner installations are completed in a single day, typically 4-6 hours depending on your staircase size and complexity. Straight staircases with standard dimensions are usually the quickest, while curved stairs or multiple flights may require additional time.
The timeline from order to installation is typically 2-3 weeks for in-stock materials, though custom or specialty fabrics may take longer. We’ll give you an accurate timeline when we provide your estimate, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes.
We schedule installations at your convenience and arrive prepared with all necessary tools and materials. Our team works efficiently and cleans up completely, so your stairs are ready for immediate use when we’re finished.
Absolutely. Stair runners dramatically reduce slip hazards by providing traction that bare hardwood simply can’t match. This is especially important for children, elderly family members, and anyone walking in socks or bare feet.
The cushioning effect of carpet and padding also reduces injury risk if someone does slip. Instead of landing on hard wood, there’s a softer surface that can prevent serious harm. Many of our Mattituck customers install runners specifically after experiencing a scary slip on bare stairs.
Beyond physical safety, runners provide psychological comfort. When you’re not worried about slipping, you naturally move more confidently on your stairs. This is particularly valuable for older adults who may have developed anxiety about using stairs in their home.
Yes, we specialize in custom installations for unique staircases. Many North Fork homes feature architectural details like curved stairs, pie-shaped steps, or multiple landings that require specialized fabrication and installation techniques.
Our team measures each step individually and creates templates for complex curves or angles. We then custom-cut your runner material to ensure a perfect fit that follows your staircase’s exact contours without bunching or gaps.
These custom installations do require more time and expertise, which is reflected in the pricing. However, the result is a runner that looks like it was designed specifically for your staircase—because it was. The investment in professional installation pays off in both appearance and long-term performance.
Regular vacuuming is the most important maintenance step—weekly for high-traffic stairs, or more often if you have pets that shed. Use a vacuum with good suction and a brush attachment to lift dirt and debris from the carpet fibers.
Address spills and stains immediately for best results. Blot liquids rather than rubbing, and use carpet cleaner appropriate for your specific material. Wool runners may require professional cleaning, while synthetic materials are typically more DIY-friendly for spot cleaning.
Professional deep cleaning every 12-18 months keeps your runners looking their best and extends their lifespan. We can recommend trusted local cleaning services familiar with quality carpet materials, or provide specific care instructions based on your chosen runner material.
