almost positive i have a stair that is making a ton of noise where the tread meets the riser. i know usually you put a couple screws in from behind but i do not have access to it. well i do but im looking for an alternative solution if possible?!?!
If they are moving against each other, you could sweep a little flour into that area to 'lubricate the joint' and decrease the noise. Do you know if there is a stringer under the middle of the stairs or just two on the edges?
i have carpet on them now. if thats the only tip i can get ill try it whenever i replace the carpet. im not sure about a center. im assuming no, just the sides
not sure if thats possible, unless i use a 10" screw. i circled where its squeaking from. unless your telling me screwing the tread to the top of the riser will help my problem.
Hi. New here, hope I'm in the right place.
We're replacing kitchen flooring with luxury vinyl. Looking for options to transition the vinyl that butts a flagstone entryway floor that has uneven surface. One spot right in the middle of where the floors meet, there's a significant vertical difference in height where the flagstone is higher. Could the stone be filed down a bit to meet evenly with kitchen floor? Should a strip of flagstone be chiseled out for transition? My husband is a carpenter by trade and has installed plenty of floors but this is our own home and he's never worked with an interior flagstone floor. Any ideas?
I've got 2 or 3 soft spots in a laminate floor. I can't really take up the floor to install shims so I've seen a couple of ways to fix including injecting urethane foam (1x door and window foam) or injecting glue.
has anyone tried these methods with any success?
The laminate has a layer of foam underlay attached to it so would need to be something that bonds plywood to foam.
