How to stop squeaks in wood floors?

If you can to the underside of the floor by way of a basement or crawl space, they can be fixed from there. Put additional screws in the location of the squeaks. You will need two people for this job so as to locate the correct spot. If you can get underneath the floor joists you can push in some shims. This will also help.

Hello Pat,

This is a repair we recently solved. We had to place repair break off screws in our newly installed (2015) floors to sucessfully silence our floor squeaks.

The follwing links reviews and Q&A should be helpful.

We filled the holes from the countersink screws with matching Minwax wax colored crayon pencil. It effectively covered the holes created by the screws —it may work for your dings too. They come in many colors— it perfectly disguised our repair hole defect.

Additionally we use the markers for our floor floor and furniture scratch and chip coverup. Its an effortless method to camouflage the problem areas. Again they come in multiple colors.

Finally they do make a putty too, but I have never used that. The minwax wax crayons and markers have always worked nicely for my repair needs.

Looking. over the Amazon links to include reviews and Q&As may help you decide which product is best for your particular needs.

I hope this helps!
