Our Squeak-Fix Process

  1. Inspection & Sound Mapping

  2. Access Subfloor (if needed)
    We remove or lift planks or cut small access points in out-of-sight areas.

  3. Secure Subfloor to Framing
    We add flooring screws or specialty fasteners to eliminate wood-on-wood movement.

  4. Reinstall Flooring
    We replace the original plank(s) or finish the access area for a seamless repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do you need to pull up my whole floor to fix a squeak?

No—we pinpoint the squeak and access the subfloor from above or below in small areas.

Yes—we repair squeaks under LVP, laminate, and engineered floors using non-destructive methods.

Most repairs are completed in 1–2 hours, depending on access and flooring type.

We aim for a permanent fix, but moisture, structural shifting, or additional movement may cause new squeaks over time.
