Trace the movement
Locate whether the sound comes from a tread, riser, stringer connection or a moving fastener.

Select fastening, blocking or joint treatment based on the moving connection—not the sound alone.

Stair squeaks are almost always caused by wood rubbing against wood. Over time, as your house settles and wood expands or contracts with humidity, gaps can form between the stair parts. The main culprits are the treads (the part you step on), the risers (the vertical piece), and the stringers (the frame holding it all together). When you step on a tread, it moves slightly and rubs against a riser or a nail, causing that familiar squeak.
Ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away. In fact, the constant movement can make the issue worse over time, loosening more components. A proper repair isn't about masking the sound; it's about eliminating the movement that causes it.
We take a direct approach. First, we identify the exact source of every squeak. From there, we determine the best way to secure the loose components without causing unnecessary damage to your home. Most of our repairs are done from above the stairs, even on carpeted floors.
We use a combination of specialized, trim-head screws and strong construction adhesives to lock the treads and risers together and secure them to the stringers. This creates a solid, unified structure that doesn't move or make noise. Unlike a quick fix with a nail gun, our method provides a permanent solution. This process not only quiets the stairs but also makes them feel more solid underfoot, increasing the overall safety and stability of your staircase.
We're not a big, faceless company. We're a local contractor focused on doing one thing well: fixing indoor stairs. We understand the construction of homes in this area and provide straightforward pricing and a solid repair, with no runaround. For a quiet, sturdy staircase, call us at (647) 898-7839.
