How to Repair Stairs FAQs
What causes squeaky stairs? Squeaks are often caused by loose treads rubbing against risers or stringers when stepped on. This is usually due to wood that has shrunk or loose supporting blocks or nails.
Can you fix squeaky stairs from below? Yes, we secure treads to risers using wedges, brackets, or wood blocks glued and screwed under the tread and against the riser. We also use specialist adhesives to strengthen the staircase and reduce noise.
Can you fix squeaky stairs from above? Absolutely. We drill pilot holes and insert nails and screws from the tread to the riser using a combination of specialist adhesives. We counterbore screw holes to receive dowel plugs or set nail heads slightly below the surface and cover them with wood putty.
How can you tighten a loose baluster? Insert wedges or secure loose parts with screws, using glue in baluster sockets. Drill pilot holes for screws or small finishing nails. Bury nail heads slightly below the surface with a nail set, and fill holes with wood putty.
