Cost to Carpet Steps

How much does it cost to put new carpet on steps?       A basic plain step is about $5..   If they wrap around on the sides, that's extra. Spindels are extra.    $60-$150 should cover about any type of steps

Carpet Knife

   This is the type of knife you use to install carpet,pad,vinyl,etc.  I basically always use mine for almost everything. If I'm not using it it is close by.      You can get them at any hardware store. For 12-20$. A 3-8$ one is possible usually.
