In this video you will see how I did carpet installation on stairs.

Start from the bottom and work up. The style of carpeting you see me so is 'bullnose' and it wraps around the lip of the step. It took about 5 hours for me to rip out the old carpet and install it. Best of luck on your install! Let me know how it goes.
