Toronto housing, explained

Why Toronto floors squeak more than most

A squeak is a subfloor separating from a joist, so it is fundamentally a question of how old a house is and how it was built. Toronto’s census numbers explain a lot: 29 per cent of the city’s private households are in homes built in 1960 or earlier and 58 per cent in 1980 or earlier, while only 25 per cent were built after 2000. The comparable pre-1960 share for the rest of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area is 12 per cent, less than half. On top of that, the dominant older house form here is the two or two and a half storey semi-detached or Foursquare, which puts bedrooms directly over living rooms with a staircase up the middle. Deep old stock plus that geometry is why we get more calls per capita in the old city than anywhere else we work.

Real feedback from customers we have worked with.

5/5

They repaired several damaged hardwood boards in our living room and blended the replacements beautifully with the existing floor. The team was punctual, tidy, and careful throughout the job. You can barely tell where the damage was.

Direct Client

5/5

Our laminate flooring had lifted near the kitchen after a small water leak. They replaced the affected sections and repaired the surrounding area. The finished repair looks clean and matches the rest of the flooring very well.

Daniel

Direct Client

5/5

We needed an urgent flooring repair after several boards became loose and uneven. The team responded quickly, secured the boards, and corrected the uneven sections. Professional service and a high-quality repair from start to finish.

Toronto squeaky floor questions

Why do Toronto homes squeak more than homes in the suburbs?

Age of stock, mostly. Twenty-nine per cent of Toronto homes were built in 1960 or earlier and 58 per cent in 1980 or earlier, whereas the pre-1960 share across the rest of the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area is around 12 per cent. Older houses used nailed plank and early plywood subfloors, which loosen over decades in a way that glued and screwed modern construction does not to the same degree.

Which parts of Toronto do you cover?

The old city and the former boroughs: the downtown east and west neighbourhoods, plus Etobicoke, North York and Scarborough. Our area pages set out the specific neighbourhoods, and if you are just outside one of them it is still worth asking rather than assuming we do not come out that way.

Is a squeaky floor in a Toronto house a sign of a structural problem?

Usually not. The overwhelming majority of squeaks are a fastening and friction issue: a board free to move slightly against a nail, or a subfloor panel that is not sitting tight on a joist. If we find something on site that points to a larger structural issue we will tell you plainly, but that is the exception rather than the rule.
