Since 1996, I have viewed 1000’s of homes with Buyer(s) in Columbus, Ohio as their Exclusive Buyer’s Agent (EBA) and one question I continually get asked by my Buyer(s) is “how to fix squeaky floors?”
Squeaky floors are an annoying problem that can affect both newer and older homes. Typically squeaky floors occur when your wood flooring (plywood sub-flooring or hardwood) dries out and shrinks. The squeak you hear can either be your wood floors rubbing against your floor joists or the flooring nails have become a little loose.
The basic fix is usually just to screw the wood flooring to the joists. But, If you have newer carpeting or hardwood floors then the fix is a little more complicated.
I discovered a few of low costs solutions that might work for most home owners.
- Squeeeeek No More (could you add a few more “e’s”)
- Squeek-Relief
- Squeek Ender
All of these methods are very inexpensive (approximately $10 – $30) and not the hard to do for even for the most “home repair challenged” home owner. You should be able to purchase these items online or at your local hardware store.

I have NOT used these products and I do NOT endorse them. But, they appear to be a great, easy fix for a very frustrating problem.
Good luck out there! I hope this information is helpful.
