An even border, every step
The runner sits centered so the same amount of wood shows on both sides, from the bottom step to the top.
Stairs & runners · Mark’s specialty
Stairs are where the work shows.
Custom stair runners are the work Mark is asked about most. Straight runs, turning landings, curved staircases: each one is fitted around its own shape so the finished stairs look like they were built that way.
Custom stair runner · Completed by MarkWhat to look for
A good stair job is in the details.
Every step is seen up close, every day. These are the details that separate a staircase that looks finished from one that looks covered.
Landings that follow the stair
Landings and turns are cut to the stair’s own angles and meet the trim cleanly instead of looking patched in.
Every tread a different shape
On a curved stair, each tread tapers as it turns. Each one is measured, cut, and fitted on its own.
Corners that look built-in
The nosing wraps around angled starter steps so the bottom of the staircase looks finished, not trimmed after the fact.
Stair work
From runners to new treads.
Whether the stairs need a runner, new carpet, or new treads altogether, the job starts with measuring the staircase you actually have.
Custom stair runners
Fitted to straight runs, turning stairs, and landings, with the pattern kept straight from step to step.
Carpet on stairs
Wall-to-wall stair carpet stretched and secured so it stays tight and wears evenly.
Wood and wood-look treads
New treads and nosing, including tapered treads for curved and winding stairs.
Stairs and floors together
Treads, risers, and the surrounding floor planned as one look when both are being updated.

Planning a stair project?
Text Mark a photo of your staircase. It’s the quickest way to start the conversation.
Can you install a runner on stairs that already have wood treads?
Yes. That’s how most runners are installed. The runner is centered on the existing treads so an even border of wood shows on both sides, all the way up the staircase.
Do you work on curved or winding staircases?
Yes. Curved and turning stairs take more time because every tread is a different shape, but they’re exactly the kind of job Mark takes on.
Can you update the stairs and the floor at the same time?
Yes. Doing both together lets the treads, risers, and floor be planned as one look, so the staircase doesn’t feel like an afterthought next to the new floor.
