This depends on the carpet, the type of stairs you have, and how you want this installed. Assuming you have a fairly typical staircase of 15 stairs and a landing, you would need in the general area of 20 yards of carpet for a basic install. Labor will run you about $220 for a high quality install. A total price of around $600 for a somewhat middle of the road carpet. The final price will depend a lot of the style and quality carpet selected. Steps are more expensive to install because done right, they can take quite awhile to complete. If you are looking to have the sides bound to leave exposed hardwood, add an additional $1.50 + a running foot for binding. This usually is at least another $120 once it is all said and done. When looking for an installer to just do steps, make sure this installer will be fully padding and tacking carpet into place. A proper installer should be using tack board on the steps as well.

Carpet can be installed on stairs in several ways. It can be pre-cut to cover only the top part of the step, added as a runner with a carpet bar to help hold it in place or used in a traditional manner to cover the entire staircase from top to bottom.

To lay carpet on a stair, one must measure the length up the Tread and the Stair, then cut this amount of stair. They must then use carpet runner to lay the stair and tack it in place. Carpet Padding must also also be stapled in place.
