Floors For You LLC

Floors For You LLC is a flooring contractor in South Fulton, GA. The business addresses common residential flooring issues, including the diagnosis and repair of squeaky hardwood floors. It serves homeowners looking to resolve problems caused by seasonal changes in humidity and structural shifts in the subfloor. The company holds a rating of 5.00.

The contractor understands that wood flooring is highly susceptible to environmental conditions, particularly changes in relative humidity. During winter, heating systems lower indoor humidity, causing wood planks to lose moisture and shrink. This contraction increases the movement of the boards against each other and the nails, resulting in squeaks. While increasing home humidity to an ideal range of 40 to 60 percent is a recommended remedy, it is often difficult to maintain across an entire house. In many cases, the issue resolves naturally in the spring as humidity rises and the wood expands. For persistent squeaks that occur year-round or in specific spots, the cause may be loose flooring joists. The solution involves accessing the area beneath the floor to inspect the joists. If they are loose, a special kit can be used to drill down through the floor to secure the subfloor tightly to the joist. Alternatively, a brace can be attached to secure the subfloor, or a wood shim can be inserted into any gap between the joist and the subfloor to eliminate the movement causing the noise.
