Set consistent exposed margins and align stripes or repeating patterns through the full stair run.
Making your stairs safer & more stylish.
Set consistent exposed margins and align stripes or repeating patterns through the full stair run.
Review tread and riser surfaces, then size the underpad to support the runner without showing.
Use a consistent installation method at each tread and riser while keeping edges clean and balanced.

Living in Port Hope, we appreciate homes with character, and hardwood stairs are a big part of that. But they aren't always the most practical. Safety is the number one reason folks call us. A quality runner gives you the traction you need to prevent slips and falls, which is a real peace of mind, especially if you have little ones or older family members at home.
Beyond safety, it's about protecting your investment. Your stairs see constant use, and a runner acts as a shield for your beautiful wood, preventing dings and wear patterns from forming over time. It's much easier to replace a runner down the road than it is to refinish an entire staircase.
We like to keep things straightforward and stress-free. It all starts with a chat. We’ll come by, measure your stairs, and we can talk about what you're looking for. We'll discuss the two main styles: 'Waterfall,' where the carpet cascades straight down each step, or 'Hollywood,' which is a more tailored look where the carpet is wrapped tightly around the nose of each stair. We’ll bring samples and help you choose a durable material and pattern that complements your decor.
Once we've got a plan, we handle the rest. We take a lot of pride in our work, ensuring every single staple is hidden and the runner is perfectly centered and taut. There won't be any lumps, bumps, or loose ends—just a beautiful, secure runner that's ready for your family to enjoy. When We’re done, we clean everything up, so the only thing we leave behind is a great-looking staircase.
Book a consultation and we will walk you through materials, timelines, and pricing—without pressure.

"We needed to renovate our new house to get rid of some UGLY parquet floors & carpet. Rudy and his team came and gave us a very good estimate (we had had a few). The job was completed on time and on budget. The team were really polite professional and more importantly CLEAN! Thanks for my amazing floors Rudy!"

HomeOwner • 14 Jun 2014 • HomeStars"We had 3 quotes and 1 was double Rudy's out and the other guy said it couldn't be done. Rudy got it done and they look great. Spiral staircases, one with carpet that was removed and the other was a builders grade spiral to basement. Rudy was here every day at the exact time he said he would show up and was flexible to work with around our schedule. We were delayed a week, but once we got started everything was exactly on schedule. He custom matched the stain to our current floors and we are thrilled with the finished product. They cleaned up everyday at the end of the job sd were very respectful of our home and family life (2 small kids and pets). Absolutely would recommend Rudy and his guys"
