Our Services

We begin with a thorough assessment of your entire floor system to pinpoint the exact source of those irritating squeaks. Our trained technicians use specialized equipment to detect loose subflooring, damaged joists, and gaps that cause movement between structural elements.


The inspection process involves walking across all areas of your floor while using acoustic detection tools to identify problem spots. We'll check for moisture issues that may be causing wood expansion and contraction.

Comprehensive Squeaky Floor Inspection

Once we've identified problem areas, we implement targeted solutions designed specifically for your floor type. For wood floors, we use specialized screws that secure loose boards to the subfloor without damaging your beautiful hardwood surface.



For squeaky carpeted areas, we can apply our unique "squeak-no-more" system that works through the carpet without requiring removal. This saves you significant time and expense.

Targeted Squeak-Relief Repair

Many persistent squeaks originate beneath your visible flooring. Our subfloor correction service addresses these deeper structural issues that cause ongoing noise problems.



We access your subfloor from either above or below, depending on your home's construction. From below, we can add supporting blocks between joists and secure loose connections without disturbing your main floor covering.

Subfloor Correction

Beyond fixing immediate squeak issues, we offer preventative maintenance services to keep your floors quiet and structurally sound for years to come.



We'll inspect for early signs of moisture damage or pest issues that could compromise floor integrity. Regular maintenance helps prevent the conditions that lead to squeaky floors in the first place.

Best Methods for Fixing Creaky Floors

Fixing creaky floors requires identifying the root cause and applying the appropriate solution. Our Columbus team has perfected several proven techniques that eliminate those annoying squeaks and restore quiet to your home.

(01)

Utilizing Squeak-Enders

Squeak-enders are specialized hardware designed specifically for silencing floor noises. These devices work by securing the floorboards to the subfloor, eliminating the movement that causes squeaking.


For finished floors, we use counter-snap screws that break off below the surface after installation, leaving no visible evidence. The screw threads pull the floor tight to the joists beneath.


For carpeted areas, we employ squeak-no-more kits with depth-control fixtures that prevent damage to your visible flooring. This system allows us to work through carpet without removing it.

(02)

Many floor squeaks originate from gaps between the subfloor and joists. We address this common issue by securing these components together properly.


First, we locate the exact position of floor joists using specialized equipment.

This precision ensures our repairs target the right spots without unnecessary drilling or damage.


We then use construction adhesive injected into the gap to fill spaces between the subfloor and joists. The adhesive eliminates movement and provides a lasting bond.

Securing Loose Subfloors

(03)

Water-damaged floors require special attention as moisture causes wood to warp and crack, creating persistent squeaks. Our approach starts with thorough moisture testing to identify affected areas.


We remove and replace any severely damaged sections of subfloor. Partial replacement prevents future structural issues while addressing the immediate squeak problem.



For areas with minor moisture damage, we apply specialized wood hardeners that restore strength to weakened fibers. This treatment prevents future breakdown while eliminating movement.

Addressing Water Damage

(04)

Replacing Damaged Wooden Floors


When floors are beyond repair, replacement provides a fresh start. We carefully remove damaged sections while preserving surrounding areas.


New flooring is selected to match your existing floor in species, grain pattern, and finish. This attention to detail ensures a seamless transition between old and new sections.


For homes with linoleum or vinyl over squeaky wood, we can remove the surface material, repair the wooden substructure, and reinstall new flooring. This comprehensive approach addresses both aesthetic and structural concerns.
