squeek no more carpet kit review

Feb 09, 2004 1 Replies

Got one of these kits from Menards (home/lumber center) for $20. My kids bed room floor, right at the door, had a really bad squeek. The kit was very easy to understand and simple to use. I had to resist normal human nature (I read the instructions)well I skimmed the instructions and looked at the handy dandy pictures and the squeek is gone. I sort of wish I had other squeeks so I could use up the screws that came in the kit. I see the kit at mcfeeley's as well but they want $30 for it. Simply put, this thing worked.

I'm glad you had good results with yours. We had a groaning sound whenever we walked near one patio door (38 year old house) and I tried to fix it with the kit but it had no effect. A couple of years later we did an extensive kitchen remodel (involving swapping the kitchen location to another room) and the workmen discovered my pier support had dropped 1/4 inch in that area. That was causing the groan, the joist was "floating." He shimmed the joist and the noise went away!
