Professional Rug & Carpet Installation on Cape Cod

A beautiful rug or stair runner is only as good as its installation.

What Our Installation Service Includes

• In-home measurement— precise measurements taken on-site before ordering material, so the finished install fits exactly
• Stair runner installation— including straight staircases, curved staircases, spiral staircases, and 90-degree turns
• Wall-to-wall carpet installation— full-room and multi-room installs
• Area rug pad fitting— proper padding selection for the floor type (hardwood, tile, or existing carpet) to prevent slipping and extend rug life
• Furniture moving and site cleanupas part of the installation visit

Stair Runner Installation Done Right

Stair runners are one of the trickiest installations to get right — poor installation leads to bunching, slipping, and uneven wear at the nose of each stair. We install:

• Classic wool stair runners
• Sisal and jute stair runners
• Patterned, striped, and neutral stair runners
• Custom stair runners by the foot, fitted to any stair length or turn configuration

Why Professional Installation Matters

DIY or poorly fitted rug and stair runner installation is one of the most common causes of premature wear, tripping hazards, and rugs that shift or bunch underfoot. Professional installation ensures:

• Correct padding for the surface, which prevents slipping and reduces wear
• Proper tensioning on stair runners, which prevents bunching and sagging
• A clean, tailored fit with no visible gaps or overhang
• Long-term durability, protecting your investment in a quality rug or carpet

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you install rugs on staircases with curves or turns?

 Yes, The Knotting Company installs stair runners on curved, spiral, and 90-degree turn staircases, in addition to standard straight staircases.

Is a rug pad necessary for installation?

 Yes, a properly fitted rug pad is recommended for nearly every installation because it prevents slipping, cushions the rug, and reduces wear on both the rug and the floor underneath. The right pad type depends on whether the rug sits on hardwood, tile, or existing carpet.

How long does stair runner installation take?

 Most stair runner installations are completed in a single day, though the exact time depends on the staircase length, number of turns, and material chosen.

Do you offer in-home measurement before installation?

 Yes, The Knotting Company provides in-home measurement as part of the installation process to ensure an exact fit before any material is cut or ordered.
