A squeaky stair can be scary as there is a chance that it can tremble at any time. It can invite unwanted accidents or creep someone out while walking up or down the stairs. You will never find a stair made up of cement squeak. This only happens on wooden stairs.  At first, you may not even understand that the stairs are squeaking due to the underlying carpet but eventually after a few squeaks you will know the culprit behind the unsettling noise. If you have faced this problem, don't worry it's not so hard to repair a squeaky stair. Let me share with you how to repair squeaky stairs.

I will share with you a step-by-step guide on how to repair stairs. 

  1. Remove the carpets. Take a flat bar to remove the treads.

  2. Remove nails, leftover carpet pad and staples.

  3. Screw the stringers by taking 4½ inches screws. 

  4. At the bottom of the tread apply subfloor adhesive. Apply the adhesive top and back of the tread as well. 

  5. Insert three 2 ½ inches screws through the tip of the tread into each stringer.

  6. Insert 2 inches screw through the riser into the back of the tread situated in between the stringers.

  7. Repeat the process for each tread.

This was the process of how to repair squeaky stairs. I hope you find this informative.
