Squeaky Stair Repair in Courtice

Hey there, neighbour. Is that creak, pop, and squeak from your staircase driving you a little bit crazy? You're not alone; it's a super common issue in many homes around Courtice. It's often just a sign of the house settling or wood drying out, but that doesn't make it any less annoying. The good news is, it's usually a straightforward fix for us, and we can bring back the peace and quiet to your home.

Why Do My Stairs Squeak, Anyway?

That annoying noise you hear every time you go up or down the stairs is usually just friction. Over time, as your home settles and humidity levels change, the wooden parts of your staircase—the treads (what you step on) and the risers (the vertical part)—can shrink a tiny bit. This creates small gaps. When you step on a tread, it can move and rub against the riser or the stringer (the side board), and that's the squeak you hear. Sometimes it's also caused by a nail that has come loose from the wood.

It's one of those little household problems that can become a big annoyance, especially late at night or early in the morning. But don't worry, you don't have to live with it forever. We've seen it all and have a simple, effective solution that doesn't involve a massive renovation project.

Our Simple, No-Mess Repair Process

Our goal is to fix your squeaky stairs with as little disruption to your home as possible. We start by carefully inspecting your staircase to find the exact source of every single squeak. Once we've pinpointed the problem areas, we use specialized tools and techniques to secure the loose components. This usually involves strengthening the connection between the tread and the riser from below if we have access, or using special counter-sinking screws from above for a strong, invisible fix.

We're pros at working on all kinds of indoor staircases, whether they're carpeted, hardwood, or laminate. We take great care to be clean and tidy, leaving your home just as we found it, only quieter. Fixing those squeaks not only restores your peace but can also prevent further wear and tear on your staircase. Give us a call, and let's get your stairs to stop talking back. You can reach us at (647) 898-7839 anytime.
