Creaky stairs fix ?
In my condo the stairs have become very creaky. They are covered w/carpet and I am sure they are prefabbed. When I walk up and down the stairs certain steps creak a lot, I don't think they are going to fail anytime soon, but it just not instill a lot of confidence.
How do I fix these stairs ? 1. ) Rip all the carpet off and glue & screw it all back together ? 2. ) Order new set of stairs ? 3. ) Hire a carpenter to patch them up ? Thanks |

On a construction remodeling site, I heard two guys with a power drill drilling screws into old floor board saying that that's how to stop noisy creaking. |

I vaguely recall seeing this on This Old House many years ago. I've lived in my current house more than 40 years. Last year I had all the carpets removed and the wood floors repaired and refinished. Bare wood is so much nicer than carpet. There was a recent Ask This Old House that showed wood stair repair. They were removing and reattaching treads. There may be screws for wood surfaces too. This site is full of politics, YouTube searches are a better way to go. If the back side of the stair is accessible driving in shims fixes the problem |
