Squeaky floor repair in Oshawa

Squeaky Floor finds and fixes the loose board, fastener or subfloor connection making the noise in Oshawa homes.

Oshawa became a city in 1924 and grew in distinct waves around the auto industry, from the Plan of Simcoe Heights registered in May 1912 through to the GM South Plant which began construction in 1950 and was operating by late 1953.

Oshawa housing, explained

Housing built in waves around the auto plants

Oshawa’s housing follows its industrial history closely, which makes the eras easy to read. The Plan of Simcoe Heights came into effect in May 1912, laying out sixty-eight acres and four hundred and twenty-four lots east of Simcoe Street, and the houses documented on those streets are two and a half storey detached homes in Tudor Revival and Foursquare styles. General Motors of Canada was formed in 1918 and industrial employment passed three thousand by 1920, driving another wave. The GM South Plant began construction in 1950 and was operating by late 1953, and final assembly moved there in 1954, which produced the big postwar subdivision push. Oshawa retains a higher share of genuinely pre-1945 housing than most of Durham, and all four of those waves sit comfortably inside the range where nailed subfloors loosen.

We hired them to fix squeaking and movement in our hardwood floor. They identified the underlying problem quickly and completed the repair without needing to replace the entire floor. Everything now feels solid and quiet.

Oshawa squeaky floor questions

What are the main housing eras in Oshawa?

Four, roughly, and they track the auto industry. The Plan of Simcoe Heights took effect in May 1912 and produced two and a half storey detached homes; General Motors of Canada was formed in 1918 and industrial employment passed three thousand by 1920, driving a second wave; the GM South Plant was built between 1950 and 1953, driving the postwar subdivision push; and expansion continued through the 1960s and beyond.

Does Oshawa have genuinely old housing or is it mostly postwar?

It has more genuinely pre-1945 stock than most of Durham Region. Streets laid out under the 1912 Simcoe Heights plan carry documented two and a half storey Tudor Revival and Foursquare homes, which is a very different floor system from a 1955 subdivision bungalow, so we establish which you have before quoting.

Is a Foursquare in Oshawa the same as one in Toronto?

Structurally, largely yes. The Foursquare is a two and a half storey square-plan house that puts bedrooms directly over living rooms with a central staircase, and that geometry produces the same squeak pattern regardless of city. What differs is the exact build year and therefore the subfloor material, which we confirm on site.
