Squeaky Floors: Finding the Cause From Above and Below
A squeak is wood rubbing on wood or on a nail. Find the exact spot, close the gap, and it goes quiet. If you can reach the joists from below, the fix is easier.

Walls, Floors & Ceilings repairs
Drywall patches, cracks, squeaky floors, trim and ceiling stains.
Walls and floors take the daily wear of a lived-in house: doorknob holes, nail pops, settling cracks, a stair tread that squeaks every time someone comes down for breakfast.
We patch, tape, texture and prime so the repair disappears under paint, quiet floors from above or below, and fix trim and baseboards. When a ceiling stain points to a leak, we find the leak first.
What we fix
- Drywall holes, dents and doorknob damage
- Nail pops and taped-seam cracks
- Ceiling water stains, after the leak is fixed
- Squeaky floors and stair treads
- Loose or damaged baseboards and trim
- Texture matching
- Tile and grout repair
- Touch-up painting
