That creak on the third step. The groan from the landing. A squeaky staircase is more than a minor annoyance; it’s a constant disruption to the peace in your King City home. Often, these noises are caused by tiny gaps that have formed between the stair components, allowing wood to rub against wood. As a local contractor who focuses on the small details, I specialize in identifying the precise cause of these sounds and implementing a fix that is both effective and discreet. My approach is simple: find the problem, fix it correctly, and restore quiet to your home.
What Really Causes a Staircase to Squeak?
A squeak is simply friction. Over time, as your house settles and wood responds to seasonal changes in humidity, small gaps can appear between the stair parts—the treads (what you step on), the risers (the vertical piece), and the stringers (the side supports). When you walk on the staircase, these parts move slightly and rub against each other or a loose fastener, creating that familiar noise. It’s not a sign of a failing staircase, but it does indicate that things have shifted. Finding the exact point of movement is the most critical part of the job, and it’s where a careful, methodical approach makes all the difference.
Our Meticulous Repair Process
We treat every staircase as a unique puzzle. First, I conduct a thorough inspection, walking each step slowly to replicate and isolate every sound. I listen and feel for movement to pinpoint whether the friction is at the front of the tread, the back against the riser, or from the side. Once I have a complete diagnosis, I can apply the correct solution. This might involve injecting a high-strength adhesive into a hidden gap, using specialized trim-head screws to secure a tread to a joist with minimal visual impact, or carefully inserting a small, glued shim to stop movement. We never use quick fixes like simply driving a nail in. The repair must be structurally sound and cosmetically clean. The goal is to make your stairs solid and silent, as if the squeak was never there to begin with. We take great care to leave your home exactly as we found it, but much quieter.

"I contacted two companies for a quote for my flooring. The first responded with an email estimate that gave me 1/3 of the information I needed. The second was Rudy, who came to my house, measured everything, recommended some products and gave me solid quote so I knew exactly what the job would cost and the time it would take. Very professional. His installers were equally as professional and completed the job with great fit and finish. I would definitely recommend Delight Flooring to anyone who asks and I would surely call them for my future flooring needs. KC"

"Finding the right flooring can be stressful and expensive. And finding the right installer could be the same. With so many incapable installers out there, you just never know who to trust. Rudy was professional and prompt from the start. They showed up when promised and started working without delay. They nailed and used adhesive where necessary. I am very impressed with their skill and attention to detail and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you Delight Flooring and I look forward to my second floor hardwood installation."

"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!"
