Put An End To Squeaky Hardwood Floors With A Quick And Affordable Fix

Hardwood floors are so stunning that it's easy to forget the downsides of adding them to your home. The annoying squeaky sound the panels produce over time when you step on the flooring material is one of them. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including a damaged subfloor, temperature changes, or joist problems. If your hardwood floor boards are squeaking because they have begun to separate from the joists underneath, consider putting an end to the problem with a product like the Squeeek No More Squeak Replacement Screws. This quick fix will stop the noise in minutes.

These screws pair with the Squeeek No More Squeaky Floor Repair Kit. Just use an electric screwdriver and the parts that come with the kit to drive the screws into your floor in the spot where you hear the squeaking. Alternatively, you could also drive trim screws into the squeaky spots with an electric screwdriver to solve the problem. When you are done, you can then walk around your house freely without having to worry about the annoying sound. This low-cost fix for stubborn squeaky wooden floors is a budget-friendly alternative to hiring a contractor to fix the problem, which could cost $150 at minimum. In comparison, both the Squeeek No More Squeak Replacement Screws and the Squeeek No More Squeaky Floor Repair Kit are around $40 in total.

To repair squeaky hardwood floors with the Squeeek No More Squeaky Floor Repair Kit and screws, start out by identifying all the squeaky spots in your floor. Next, drill pilot holes into those spots with an electric screwdriver, making sure they reach your joists but are not so deep that you hit your drill bit clamp. You can then follow the instructions that come with the repair kit to drill the screws into place with an electric screwdriver and the parts that come with the kit, including the tooling, the tripod fixture, and the driver bit. If you would prefer to use trim screws you already have on hand to complete this hardwood floor repair, the process will be similar.

Start out by drilling pilot holes into the spots that squeak using an electric screwdriver. They should be about ½ inch away from the end of the wooden floor board. Just as with the Squeeek No More brand screws, be careful not to drill deep enough to go through the subfloor. Next, use your screwdriver to send your trim screws into the pilot holes until the head of the screw is down inside of the hole. Use wood filler to hide the hole when you are done. This is a simple way to stop hardwood floors from squeaking that you can try out as an alternative too.
