Stair carpet installation in Boulder County, Colorado
Stairs take more punishment than any other surface in the house, and in split-level and tri-level homes across Boulder County they are a main walkway, not an afterthought. Carpet softens each footstep, gives sock-footed kids and dogs better grip, and keeps noise from traveling up to the bedrooms.
Floor Crafters measures your stairs in person, shows you samples against your own railing and wall color, and handles removal, repairs to the treads, and the full installation. We have been doing this since 1988, and our carpet flooring page covers the rest of the house.
Wall-to-wall or stair runner - which is right for you?
Wall-to-wall carpet covers the full tread and riser. It is the quietest, warmest, and most forgiving option, and it is easy to keep clean because there are no bare wood edges to scuff. A runner leaves a strip of wood on either side, which shows off a good staircase and suits painted risers.
If you love the wood but want a softer step, ask about hardwood stairs with a runner, or compare laminate stairs if you are watching the budget.
- Low-pile nylon - the best durability for a busy main staircase
- Wool and wool-blend runners - a classic look with natural stain resistance
- Solution-dyed polyester - soft and tough for households with pets and kids
- Custom binding on runner edges to match your trim color

Learn moreWhy carpeted stairs work so well in Front Range homes
Dry winters make hardwood treads slick in socks and noisy as they move. Carpet absorbs impact sound, gives a softer landing if someone slips, and adds a layer of warmth over cold lower-level stairwells. If you have a dog that struggles for traction on wood, carpet fixes it overnight.
How we install carpet on stairs
We pull the old carpet, pad, and staples, then check the wood underneath. Loose treads get fastened, squeaks get addressed, and rough spots are smoothed. Then we install fresh pad, set tackless strip on each tread and riser, and stretch the carpet tight so it does not ripple or wear through at the nosing.
Every job includes cleanup, and we come back within ten days to make sure everything is holding. Want a number? Request a free estimate and we will measure the stairs while we are there.

Carpet Stairs - frequently asked questions
Dense, low-pile nylon is the standard answer, and a solution-dyed polyester is a strong second where stains are the main worry. Both are covered in our samples, and we bring them to the stairs so you can judge them in place.
Not by itself. We fasten loose treads and risers before we install, which usually quiets squeaks. Some stubborn ones may need work from below, and we will tell you what we find.
Yes, and most stair carpet is installed over wood. If the treads are worth saving, we may suggest refinishing them instead, and we can talk through both at your estimate.
Loops can snag on pet claws and show wear at the nosing, so we usually steer people toward a cut pile. If you love the look, we will show you tighter loop styles.
