How to Fix That Squeaky Hardwood Floor Before You Sell Your Home

Simple things such as getting rid of clutter, curb appeal, repainting the front door and fixing squeaky floors will make all the difference when putting your home on the market.

Floor squeaks are usually caused by temperature and humidity changes which cause contraction and expansion of wood. The sub-flooring and joists dry out and warp causing a separation between the sub-floor and joist. The wood moving up and down on the pulled nail causes the squeak.

Floor squeaks can be solved permanently with 4 easy steps.The only tools needed are a phillips head screwdriver an adjustable wrench and a squeakender.

If you are willing to invest a little time and money for minor repairs (such as cleaning the carpets or fixing squeaky floors) your home is going to be a lot easier to sell. For tips contact Kenshore@eeeng.com
