Squeaky Stair Repair in Port Hope

A squeaky staircase isn't just an annoyance; it's a sign of a problem. Loose treads, worn risers, or gaps in the frame can all cause that noise you hear with every step. Ignoring it won't make it go away and can lead to bigger issues. We specialize in diagnosing and permanently fixing squeaky indoor stairs in Port Hope homes. We get in, find the source of the problem, and make your staircase solid and quiet again.

What Makes Stairs Squeak?

That annoying squeak is almost always caused by friction. As your house settles and the wood ages, small gaps can form between the parts of your staircase. The main culprits are the treads (the part you step on), the risers (the vertical part), and the stringers (the side boards that support everything). When you step on a loose tread, it rubs against a riser or a nail, and you get that sound. It's a common problem, but one that needs a professional fix to be done right.

Ignoring it often makes it worse. A small squeak can become a loud groan as the components loosen further over time. This isn't just about noise; it's about the structural integrity and stability of your staircase. We pinpoint the exact spot of the friction to apply a permanent solution, not just a temporary patch.

Our No-Nonsense Repair Process

We don't believe in quick fixes that fail in a few months. Our goal is to make your stairs silent and solid for the long haul. Depending on the construction of your stairs and whether we can access them from underneath, we use a combination of proven techniques. This often involves re-securing loose treads and risers to the stringers using specialized hardware and strong construction adhesives that fill gaps and prevent any movement.

We work from the top whenever possible to minimize disruption. For carpeted stairs, we use specific tools to perform the repair without needing to pull up all the carpeting. Our process is clean, efficient, and focused on one thing: getting the job done right. If you're ready to walk up and down your stairs in peace, give us a call. We handle indoor stair repairs for homeowners all over Port Hope. Contact us at (647) 898-7839 to schedule an appointment.
