Stair Carpet Installation in Pittsburgh, PA

Stairs are the most skilled part of a carpet job and they are priced per tread rather than by area. There are two ways to do them and they look, and cost, quite differently.

Waterfall runs the carpet straight over the nose of the tread. It is quicker, uses less material and costs less. Cap and band wraps each tread and riser separately, which takes far longer and looks tailored. On an open staircase visible from the entry hall, that difference is the whole impression the floor makes.

Carpe Diem Floors fits both across Pittsburgh, PA and will show you the two on your own stairs rather than in a brochure, because the shape of the nosing changes how each one looks.

Landings and winders are where stair quotes diverge most. A staircase with a turn in it is a materially different job from a straight run, and any estimate that does not mention it has not been looked at properly.

Stair Carpet Installation FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Stair Carpet Installation

Questions we hear most often about Stair Carpet Installation in Pittsburgh, PA.

Talk to a real person
What is the difference between face weight and density?
Face weight is how much fibre is there. Density is how tightly it is packed. Density predicts wear better, which is why a dense 40oz carpet outlasts a loose 55oz one that costs more.
What carpet pad should I get?
8lb rebond is the residential standard. Lighter pad breaks down early and shortens the life of the carpet above it. Pad thicker than 7/16 of an inch voids most manufacturer warranties because the backing flexes too far.
Should I clean my carpet or replace it?
If the traffic patterns lighten after cleaning it was dirt. If they stay, the fibre has lost its twist and cleaning will not bring it back. Rub the pile against the lay: if it stands up, you have a cleaning problem.
Do you charge separately for stairs?
Yes, and they are priced per tread rather than by area. Waterfall is quicker and cheaper; cap and band wraps each tread and riser and looks tailored. We will show you both on your own staircase.
Is Berber a good choice with pets?
A tighter or patterned loop is. A wide classic Berber snags, and a pulled loop runs rather than staying put. Claws are the usual cause.
