Can You Use Your Own Carpet for a Stair Runner?
You can ask us to use carpet you already have for a stair runner. We need to check whether this type and condition of carpet will work on your stairs, and whether there is enough usable material for the steps, turns, and landings.

Will your carpet work on the stairs?
We check the carpet's usable size, construction, and condition against the staircase. Turns and landings can change how much carpet the runner needs and how a pattern will lie. Tell us what you know about the piece; you don't need to measure the stairs before requesting a visit. We'll measure at home before confirming whether we can use it.
