Squeaky Stair Repair in Georgetown

That constant squeak, creak, or pop every time you go up or down the stairs is more than just annoying; it's a sign of a problem. Loose treads, risers rubbing against stringers, or gaps from seasonal wood movement are the usual culprits. We get straight to the source of the noise and provide a solid, permanent fix so you can walk through your home in peace. We're your local Georgetown experts for quieting noisy indoor stairs for good.

Why Do My Stairs Squeak?

Stair squeaks are caused by friction. When you step on a stair, different wooden components—the tread (what you step on), the riser (the vertical piece), and the stringer (the sawtooth frame)—rub against each other. This happens because the wood has dried and shrunk over time, fasteners have loosened, or the initial installation wasn't secure enough. The changing humidity in Georgetown homes from season to season makes this problem worse, causing wood to expand and contract, creating more gaps and more noise.

Our Repair Process: Built to Last

We don't do temporary fixes. Our method is about re-securing the structure of your staircase for a long-term solution. First, we identify the exact source of every squeak. Then, we reinforce the connection between the loose components. This isn't just about adding another nail. We use specialized, self-snapping screws and structural adhesives to pull the tread and riser tight against the stringer, eliminating any movement or friction. This creates a bond that is often stronger than the original construction, ensuring a durable and silent result.

Carpet or Hardwood, We Handle It

It doesn't matter if your stairs are carpeted or finished hardwood. We have the right tools and techniques for the job. For carpeted stairs, we use specialized tools that allow us to make repairs right through the carpet, leaving no visible trace. For hardwood stairs, we use methods that are virtually invisible, ensuring the beauty of your wood is preserved. Our focus is always on a structural fix that stops the noise permanently without creating a new cosmetic problem. Stop living with the noise. For a real fix that lasts, call us at (647) 898-7839.
