Will the repair damage my finished stairs?

We take extreme care to protect your stairs. Our methods are designed to be as minimally invasive as possible, often using small, concealable finish screws or working from underneath to avoid altering the visible surfaces.

How long does a typical squeaky stair repair take?

Most projects are completed within a few hours to a full day, depending on how many stairs are squeaking and the complexity of access. We focus on doing it right, not just fast.

Is this a permanent fix for squeaky stairs?

Our goal is a long-term solution. By properly securing loose components and reinforcing the structure, our repairs are designed to last for years. We address the root cause, not just the symptom.

That one squeaky step you try to skip on your way to the kitchen can be more than just a minor annoyance. A noisy staircase often points to a simple, common issue: wood components rubbing together due to seasonal changes or settling. Over time, gaps can form between the treads, risers, and the stringers that support them. We believe a proper fix requires a careful, methodical approach, not just a quick fix. Our entire focus is on meticulously identifying and silencing every single squeak for good. Squeaky Stair Repair

What Causes a Staircase to Squeak?

That persistent creak is the sound of friction. As a house ages and settles, the wooden components of your staircase naturally shrink and expand with changes in humidity. This can cause joints to loosen, nails to pull away, and gaps to appear between the treads (the part you step on) and the risers (the vertical part). When you walk on the stairs, these loose parts rub against each other, creating that familiar squeaking sound. In some cases, it's a sign of a loose tread, while in others, the entire stair assembly might need reinforcement. Identifying the precise point of friction is the critical first step to a successful repair.

Our Detailed Approach to Squeak-Free Stairs

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our process begins with a careful inspection of each step to isolate the exact source of the noise. From there, we choose the least invasive, most effective method. This might involve re-securing treads to risers from above using specialized trim screws that hide below the surface, eliminating the need for wood putty. If we have access from below, we can add reinforcing glue blocks to the corners where the tread and riser meet the stringer, creating a powerful and invisible bond. We also use construction adhesives injected into fine gaps to stop wood movement entirely. Throughout the entire process, we work cleanly and carefully, protecting your floors and finishes as if they were our own. The goal is a structurally sound, completely silent staircase.

"Just like everyone out there trying to upgrade their home, we decided to update the living room flooring from old dirty carpet to nice low maintenance Laminate. Thinking we could do it ourselves as DIY folks. Well like all great projects, we failed to estimate the cost of the tools to do the project and our lack of expertise. In desperation, after installing the underlay, we realized we could not do the job. I was extremely luck in finding Rudy from Delightflooring. He was able to response to my email within 30 minutes and was available to start the next day on installation of our living room floor. His service is exceptional and perhaps one of the best floor installers in Canada. He worked without breaks and hard installing the floor. It came out extremely beautiful. He brought amazing tools to do the job and did the job without error on first time cuts. He tackled difficult corners and was able to make the installation seamless. Would I recommend this installer to anyone. YES YES YES. He deserves an award for being the most conscious, clean and precise installer in the construction business. We need more like him with this kind of skill and customer service."

"I did my floor and learn that the stairs are not included because it is a different kind of job that needed to be done. I start looking for a person or company that can complete the stairs job in a timely manner and cost efficient. I receive many quotes but Rudy’s quote was details and easy to understand. After reviewing all quotes, I decide to give the job to Rudy. A bit scared of what will come out of it, Rudy reassure me that my house was his show room and I will be please when is done. Let me say I am not please but over please. Rudy was efficient, extremely professional. He respected my time line as I was expecting my kids that weekend. I would highly recommend using this company, they are all the things you could ask for in a contractor; polite, neat, reasonably priced and timely. Thank you so much again Rudy for all your great work!"
