Stop Squeaks Early
Stop Squeaks Before Your New Floors Go Down
Are you remodelling your home? If you ripped up old carpet or tile and see bare plywood, now is the only time to permanently fix floor squeaks.
Most flooring installers just lay beautiful new wood right over old, loose subfloors. This locks frustrating squeaks under your expensive new investment forever.
Our experts step into your renovation during the first phase—right after demolition—to anchor your subfloor tightly to the house frame. We guarantee a completely silent foundation.
How We Do It
We treat your exposed subfloor with absolute precision before your new hardwood arrives.
- Locate the Framing: We find and map the exact centre of your home’s floor joists.
- Remove Old Nails: We pull out or flatten loose builder nails that naturally cause rubbing and noise.
- Heavy-Duty Screws: We rapidly sink heavy-duty 3-inch subfloor screws every 6 inches along the wood frame with consistent mechanical force.
- Perfect Flat Finish: Every screw sinks perfectly flush so it will never snag your new flooring material.
- Stabilize Flexing Seams: We deploy our proprietary structural compounds to reinforce and permanently bind weak, shifting plywood or particleboard edges.
Why Secure Your Subfloor First?
Prevents brand-new wood from loosening and rubbing against the subfloor later.
Removes the springy, loose feel beneath your feet for a solid, high-end walk.
Done during the dusty construction phase, so your beautiful final finishes stay untouched.
Frequently Asked Questions
Call us right after your demolition crew removes the old carpet, tile, or hardwood. We need to step in while the raw subfloor is completely bare, right before your new flooring material arrives on site.
Every home is unique, and structural conditions vary across the Greater Toronto Area. Instead of charging a generic flat rate that might not fit your specific space, we assess your project individually. Our experts look at the exact square footage, the type of subfloor material you have (such as plywood or particleboard), and the current layout of your joists to build an accurate, custom plan.
Off-the-shelf glues dry out, crack, and fail under constant foot traffic. We use a proprietary structural compound engineered specifically to absorb daily pressure while keeping weak plywood and particleboard edges perfectly bonded.
Standard construction tools can easily under-sink or over-drive fasteners, leaving uneven heads or stripping out the wood. Our precision trade equipment applies perfectly balanced vertical pressure, locking our heavy-duty structural screws down to an identical, razor-flush depth every time without damaging the panels. This mechanical consistency ensures your raw subfloor remains perfectly flat and ready for your upcoming floor installers.
Standard floor installers focus on laying down your new wood, not fixing the frame underneath. If your subfloor is loose now, your brand-new floors will squeak and rub against it later, locking the noise in forever.
Not at all. We counter-sink every single screw micro-millimeters below the wood plane. This leaves you with a perfectly flat, smooth surface that is immediately ready for your flooring team to work on.
