Category: Flooring - Topic: Fixing Creaking Stairs

Creaking stairs can be very annoying and will often create an unpleasant and unwelcoming mood in your household. Fortunately, creaking stairs can be fixed. To fix creaking stairs you need to get access to the space under the stairs and place shim shingles around each area of the floor joists. Use a partner and as they walk and up and down the stairs, locate each creaking area. Once the creaking is found in the stairs apply the correct pressure on the sham single until the creaking goes away. Secure the shingles. If you don't have patience or have limited access into the crawl space under the stairs, you may want to hire a home improvement professional to fix this problem.
