How long does it usually take to fix squeaky stairs?

It really depends on how many steps are making noise, but most jobs are done in just a few hours. I'll give you a clear time estimate when I see the staircase.

Do you have to rip up my carpet or flooring?

Not usually! I have techniques to work right through most carpets without removing them. For hardwood, the fixes are often nearly invisible. We can chat about the best approach for your specific stairs.

Is this a really messy job?

Not at all. I pride myself on being tidy. I'll put down drop cloths and clean up everything when I'm finished. You won't even know I was there, except for the blissful quiet!

What's Causing That Awful Squeak?

Most of the time, a noisy staircase isn't a sign of a big structural problem. It's usually just about wood doing what wood does. Over the years, with changes in humidity and regular use, the wooden parts of your stairs—the treads (what you step on) and the risers (the vertical part)—can shrink just a tiny bit. This creates small gaps between the wood components and the stringers (the sawtooth-like frame). When you step on a tread, it moves and rubs against another piece of wood or a nail, and that's the squeak you hear. It's simply friction!

It’s a common issue in many Uxbridge homes, both old and new. The key is knowing exactly where the movement is happening so it can be properly secured.

My Approach to a Quiet Staircase

My process is all about finding the source of the squeak and fixing it with minimal disruption to your home. First, I'll walk the stairs with you to identify every single spot that's making noise. It's like being a detective for creaks. Once I've mapped out the problem areas, I can get to work.

Depending on whether I can get access from underneath the stairs (like from a basement) or if I have to work from the top, I use a combination of special adhesives and counter-sunk trim-head screws to lock the treads and risers firmly to the stringers. This eliminates the movement and stops the friction. The goal is to make the repair strong and practically invisible, especially on finished hardwood stairs. I take great care to be respectful of your home, keeping the work area tidy and cleaning up completely when I'm done. It's a simple, effective service that makes a huge difference in how you enjoy your space. Just give me a call at (647) 898-7839 to get started.

"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!"

"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"
