Squeaky Stair Repair in Pickering

A squeaky staircase is more than just an annoyance; it's a sign of a problem. Over time, wood contracts and expands, loosening the joints between your stair treads, risers, and stringers. This movement causes friction, which creates that creaking sound every time you take a step. We don't just use shims or quick fixes, we solve the structural issue. Our job is to make your stairs solid, silent, and safe again.

How We Fix Squeaky Stairs

The first step is finding exactly where the noise is coming from. It's usually a tread rubbing against a riser or a stringer. Once we locate the source, we use professional techniques to stop the movement. This often involves injecting high-strength construction adhesive into the gaps and using specialized counter-snap screws to pull the loose components together tightly. These screws are designed to break off below the wood surface, leaving no visible hardware. If we have access from underneath, we can add blocking for even more support. The goal is simple: eliminate any movement between the parts of the stair.

Why Not Just Ignore It?

A squeak is a warning sign. It means parts of your staircase are loose. While it might just be annoying now, that looseness can get worse over time. What starts as a simple creak can lead to a wobbly tread, which becomes a safety hazard. Fixing it early prevents more significant damage down the road and restores stability to a high-traffic area of your home. It’s a small investment in the structural integrity and quiet enjoyment of your property. We focus on durable, long-term solutions, not temporary patches.
