Squeaky Stair Repair in Scugog

A squeaky staircase is more than just an annoyance; it's a sign of a problem. Loose treads, shrinking wood, and failed fasteners cause those noises that echo through your home. Serving Scugog homeowners, we offer a straightforward, durable solution to silence your indoor stairs for good. We don't use temporary fixes. We reinforce your staircase structurally, making it stronger and quieter than the day it was built. Call us to get it done right. Phone: (647) 898-7839.

What's Actually Causing the Squeak?

That annoying squeak is friction. It's the sound of wood rubbing against wood or a loose nail. Over time, as your house settles and humidity changes, the wooden components of your staircase—the treads (what you step on), the risers (the vertical pieces), and the stringers (the side supports)—can develop small gaps. When you step on a tread, it moves and rubs against an adjacent part, creating noise. Simply nailing it down again rarely works long-term because the original cause of the movement isn't addressed.

Our No-Nonsense Repair Method

We fix the problem at its source. Depending on whether we have access from below (like an unfinished basement) or need to work from the top, our method is focused on eliminating all movement. We don't just inject some glue and hope for the best. We use a combination of specialized structural screws and powerful construction adhesives to permanently bond the tread to both the riser and the stringers. This process creates a single, solid unit that cannot move, flex, or rub. The result is total silence and a staircase that feels more solid underfoot than ever before. This is for indoor stairs only; we don't service exterior steps.

Why Quick Fixes Fail

You can find plenty of DIY kits that promise a quick fix. These often involve injecting foam or using special break-off screws. While they might quiet a stair for a few weeks, they don't solve the underlying structural movement. The foam eventually compresses and the friction returns. Our approach is different because it's a structural repair, not a cosmetic patch. We build rigidity back into your staircase for a permanent solution. If you're done with temporary fixes and want the job done correctly, give me a call.
