Experience The Squeaky Floor Doctor's 4 Dramatically Different WAYS!
""Although a tremendous amount has changed during the past 100 years about the Designs and Installation Techniques of Upstairs SUB-Floors; and the tools, equipment & materials used by my GrandFather. But one important thing has NOT changed: Our deep understanding of the complex structural forces & hundreds of internally moving components within the floor assembly; and whats critically important to create a Bounce-FREE & Squeek-FREE SUB-Floor environment for your home. No other companies have been able to do what seemed natural to me while growing up honing my craft, re-creating perfectly Straight & Level Floors, backed by Iron-Clad Warranties, not just peddling plywood & screws.
Proudly, 100 years later we're still 'Quietly' standing alone on ZERO-Noise Floors!""

In 2024, The Squeaky Floor Doctor Will Continue Performing the Corrective Work our Innovative Proprietary WAY to Permanently Solve YOUR Specific Squeaking and UNlevel SUB-Floor Concerns as We Have Always Done for the Past Century.

They are Designed, Engineered and ALL Components are Painstakingly Installed by Experienced Hands to RETRO-Fit the Second Story SUB-Floors of Tract Style Homes Built Between Years 1965 Thru 2015 to Eliminate 100% of Bounce, Sags, Humps, Sags, Slopes, Sound Transmission and ALL Types of Squeaks in Homes Located in Southern California Communities. 50, 100 or 200 Year Transferable Warranties and 100% Non-ProRated Money Back Guarantees are Included with Every Installation.
IT IS CRITCICALLY IMPORTANT TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT THE SQUEAKY FLOOR DOCTOR SERVICES ARE COMPREHENSIVE AND ADDRESSES THE ENTIRE ""SUB-FLOOR *ASSEMBLY*"" ~ From-The-Face-of-Plywood-SUB-Floor-""ALL-THE-WAY-THROUGH""-To-The-Face-of-Drywalled-Ceiling-In-The-Rooms-Below [Including Earthquakes]...BOTTOMLINE: SFD HAS AN IRON-CLAD, BEST-IN-INDUSTRY, ZERO EXCLUSIONS WARRANTY ON THE ENTIRE FLOOR ASSEMBLY, FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND, SAFETY & SECURITY!
[**It is very important to note that the ""SUB-Floor Assembly"" can range in depth/thickness from 12-24 inches which includes the soffits in your kitchen and furred or dropped down ceilings in your hallways and bathrooms, all of which can produce squeaky sounds when the floor is walked upon which then triggers the irritating noises! Please be aware that another company that promotes a ""Squeak-Free Guarantee"" is ONLY guaranteeing the connection between the top of the floor joists and their OSB sub-floor panels and ALL other types of noises and sounds, in which there are literally thousands of combinations of causes and reasons, are SPECIFICALLY EXCLUDED in their long list of EXCLUSIONS!]
WE ARE SUB-FLOOR SURGEONS THAT GET TO THE ROOT CAUSES OF ALL TYPES OF FLOOR-FRAME DEFECTS, MANY OF WHICH ARE ""DAY-ONE"" DESIGN DEFECTS & POOR INSTALLATIONS THAT CAUSES THE ENTIRE FLOOR ASSEMBLY TO SQUEAK AND BECOME UNEVEN AND UNLEVEL 25-to-50 YEARS AFTER BEING CONSTRUCTED. THESE MANY DESIGN DEFECTS ARE BURIED DEEP WITHIN THE ONE-TO-TWO-FOOT CAVITY THAT SEPARATES THE FIRST & SECOND FLOORS IN TWO-STORY HOUSES.
***PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THE SQUEAKY FLOOR DOCTOR DOES NOT OFFER: ANY TYPE OF ""HOW-TO"" BLOGS NOR VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET. THE INFORMATION PRESENTED IN OUR PROFLOORSYSTEMS VIDEO SHOULD NOT BE PERFORMED BY AN INEXPERIENCED NOVICE.
* * * * * HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SFD PROMOTIONAL VIDEO * * * * *
However, I highly suggest that you click the ""Gallery"" link at the top left corner of this Home Page and scroll down to the end and there is an amazing professional quality promotional video commercial in which I inform you about our professional SUB-Floor services and exactly what we offer. This video was produced to explain and summarize everything that is included in this website for your edification.
REMEMBER: Writing and Creating Slick YouTube Videos about Theoretical Solutions is very EASY for Hypothetical Problems; actually doing the work is an: ARDUOUS TASK!
[The underlying reason for our position is that SFD policy prohibits us from providing generic solutions or ""How-To"" advice for hypothetical problems. We require specific detailed information on an actual particular structural SUB-Floor compromised problem or problematic areas and then we can create a proposal with very detailed specifications on the appropriate Long Term Permanent Solution for your consideration. Unfortunately in 2024, there are Millions of Blogs & YouTube Videos with ""Informational Only"" Sites that claim to provide: Basik Theoretikal Kozmetik Short-Term/Temporary Band-Aids and other poor quality D.I.Y. alternatives. VERY RARELY DO THEY OFFER IN-HOME SERVICES TO ACTUALLY ADDRESS AND FIX YOUR SPECIFIC SUB-FLOOR PROBLEMS!]

""GET UNDER THE HOOD""
The Squeaky Floor Doctor has built our reputation for the past 103 years by ""Getting Under the Hood"" of your Second Level Floor Assembly.
Think of your Plywood SUB-Floor as the ""Hood"" of your UPstairs Floor. That's where we begin to chase down the Root Causes of Hundreds of Structural Connections that have either loosened up over the past 25-50 years or were never secured at the time of construction many decades ago. Once we identify the defective connections we can upgrade these connections with our Proprietary Connectors that are Engineered to last for the remainder of your home's lifespan!
TO SUMMARIZE: ALL this Invaluable Insights into the 'Root Causes' of the 'WHY?' & 'HOW COME?' your SUB-Floors Bounce, Sag & Incessantly Squeaks 25 to 50 years after being Built by your Tract Home Builder, I decided to put these Five [5] most Critical Problems that this Home Page will Address for YOU at the Beginning, INSTEAD of the End. Please read this Home Page in its Entirety and I'm confident that 100% of your Questions?
WILL BE ADDRESSED & ANSWERED IN DETAIL:
1ST MAJOR FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM:
Your Floor was ONLY Designed to 'Barely' meet the Minimum Building Code Requirements in effect at that time. Remember this Critical FACT: The Building Codes Across America have ZERO ['0'] concerns with Floors NOT Squeeeeking!
2ND MAJOR FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM:
The Poor Quality of the Floor was ONLY Constructed to 'Barely' get the Builder to the One-Year Warranty time frame before expiring. Remember this FACT: After Day 367, you will have ZERO recourse against the Builder for resolution!
3RD MAJOR FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM:
THINK about this FACT when shopping around for your SUB-Floor Noises, Squeeks & Straightening Repairs, I have ZERO '0' margin of error or oversight. I am responsible for being 100% correct 100% of the time for the next 100 years or 100% Money Back. Anything can Trigger those Pesky Squeeks or Crookedness!
[Plus, I have a ZERO '0' Exclusion Warranty Policy too.]
4TH MAJOR FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM:
I am often reminded of Albert Einstein's admonition:
'Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count;
everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.'
This truism certainly applies in the Diagnosis and Repairing/Rebuilding/Overhauling of SUB-Floors!
5TH MAJOR FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM:
The Harsh Reality is that there is NOT a One-Size-Fits-ALL Solution to ALL the Thousands of Various Combinations of Design and Installation Flaws and Defects which are the ROOT CAUSES of Serious Humps, Sags, Slopes, Sound Transmission, Squeaks or Spongy SUB-Floors.
Please Note: City Building Inspectors DO NOT INSPECT for Defective Workmanship that can Manifest into Bounce, Sags and Squeaks Decades later. They are NOT RESPONSIBLE and are: IMMUNE from LIABILITY!

~ 103 YEARS OF HIGHEST QUALITY POLICY ~
We're focused on helping people by repairing and re-building their sub-floors in their most valuable asset ~ their home. Richard Alcaraz is The Squeaky Floor Doctor and the foremost expert on determining the root causes, research, knowledge and practical ways to stop and prevent the sub-floors from deteriorating the value, quietness and enjoyment of your home. We achieve these multifaceted goals by designing, engineering, manufacturing and installing structural connections and source the highest quality materials that will meet and exceeds our customers needs and expectations. We're in a unique position to challenge norms and inspire new thinking. We're Revolutionizing The Way People Live - and changing construction techniques and sub-floor designs in the process.
4TH GENERATION OF LEGACIES & ON-SITE CONSISTENCIES
The Alcaraz Family traces its roots from a small town named Alcaraz, located in central Spain. In 1921, my Legendary GrandFather, Frederico Guillermo Alcaraz, left this village where blacksmithing, cabinet making, furniture making, fine woodworking and cordwainers [shoemaking] were the primary trades and immigrated to the USA to persue his dreams. He traveled to Southern California and lived in the downtown Los Angeles area. He brought with him his gratitude and respect for the USA; and desire for a brighter future, better life, honesty, honourable hard work ethics and attention to details. Most importantly, he brought with him his knowledge of Spain's WAY of Building Floors that DO NOT Bounce, Sag nor Squeak by using 2' X 4' Wood Cross 'X' Bracing, a.k.a. Bridging, and other structural techniques. Over the past few decades, we have modified our Proprietary ProFloorSystems to adapt to the WAYS in which SUB-Floors are Designed and Mass Produced in Tract Style Homes in the USA by very large production homebuilders. Unfortunately, with the rapid speed, enormous volume and tight deadlines in which the homes are built in Southern California for past half century, there are lots of inconsistencies in the SUB-Floors from one house to the next as each SUB-Floor is unique and has its own DNA. Also, during the construction process, there are so many different trades that have to chop up and hack through the floor joists, beams, blocking and plywood SUB-Floors ON-SITE using chain saws without first consulting the architect or structural engineer before installng their electrical wiring; fire sprinkler systems; plumbing water lines and drain lines; HVAC plenums and ducts; gas lines; etc. These hasty field decisions will ultimately compromise the structural integrity of the orginal design by the structural engineer for the Second Floor Assembly. Many of these shortsighted and poor decisions can then take decades to manifest into critical structural problems. Because in the USA, the SUB-Floor Assembly components are ALL Assembled ON-SITE as compared to Western Europe where they are built in a factory (with Quality Control Inspectors ON-SITE carefully inspecting each step of the manufacturing process) and put together in MODULES ON-SITE for many new construction projects. Therefore, it is literally impossible to achieve: Consistent and Exact Quality Control in the USA from House-to-House-to-House. Hence, these defects are NOT universal to every home in any given tract of 200 homes. There may be only 3 to 5 homes with very bad SUB-Floor defects! Today, our philosophy hasn't changed much to maintain our Benchmark Proprietary ProFloor2100, 2200 & 3000Systems because they have ALWAYS been Designed and Engineered to RetroFIT ON-SITE existing Second Level SUB-Floors. This drive still comes from a Passion for ON-SITE Excellence, a Focus on Innovation, Attention to Details and Consistent Quality Control in Everything We Do! This Legendary Alcaraz Standard for Accuracy & Precision reflects our time tested Skills and Determination to REcreate existing SUB-Floors to our Exacting High Standards of Care and Quality BEFORE we are proud to put our Trademarked Badge on it!
TODAY, THE ALCARAZ FAMILY STILL FIRMLY BELIEVES ~
That personalized service, a century of experience, exceptional value, honesty and a genuine concern for our clients are prerequisites for developing long-lasting relationships.

Bounce, Sag & Squeak PROOF. Period.
SUB-Floors REbuilt with Precision, for Precision.
Bespoke Designs. Success REengineered. Since 1921.
WHY THE NEED FOR THIS SERVICE & PROFLOORSYSTEMS?
The BIGGER & CRITICAL Questions should be 'The Why & How Come' your SUB-Floors Bounce, Sag & Squeak Incessantly? These are the forbidden questions that NO ONE wants to have a conversation about! The fact is your UPstairs Floors & Staircase were NEVER Designed NOT to Squeak. They were just hastily put together to barely pass the 'Minimum' Uniform Building & Safety Code's Requirements. From 1986 thru 2002, Mass Produced Tract Homes in Southern California Hit an Epidemic Level for Construction Defects; Class Action Lawsuits against the Residential Developers were widespread. These large tract home Builders GOAL: Barely get the Floors 'NOT TO SQUEAK'
During the One-Year Warranty Period!
'the best built floors begin with the best designed floors...***
The ProFloor2100, 2200 & 3000 Systems were Invented by a Former Residential Framer after having personally observing the long term side-effects of the shortsightedness of some Architects, Structural Engineers, Tract Home Builders and Framers for many years. As a direct result of their shortsightedness, the Bounce, Sags and Incessant Squeaks have taken 25 to 50 years later to manifest.
~ AMERICA'S #1 RESIDENTIAL FRAMER AWARD WINNER ~ Alcaraz was honored and humbled with the 1st Place Award in the Nationwide SKIL/Robert Bosch Tool Corporation Search for America's #1 Framer of the Year Contest.
UNfollow the 'FLAWED' Floor Framing Building Codes!
A PARADIGM SHIFT ~ The Squeaky Floor Doctor was Founded with a Dream to be Different and to Change an Industry Standard. My family has always held strong beliefs that the fields of Artes, Architecture, Engineering and Construction MUST Blend and Solidify into a Seamless System for a Building [and the FRAME of a Structure] to stand timeless and age graciously for thousands of years as they do in Old-World Spanish Cultures! Since my GrandFather arrival to the USA in 1921, The Alcaraz Family has always maintained these Core Values and has been REdefining, REexamining & REinventing the Ancient Artisanal European Craftsmanship of THE ARTE OF SQUEEKEEOLOGEE using our own Twenty-First Century proprietary technologies to achieve our goals for the SUB-Floors in your Two-Story Home:

***C*A*U*T*I*O*N***&***CRITICAL NOTICE:***
THE SQUEAKY FLOOR DOCTOR DOES NOT RECOMMEND 'EXTERNAL' REPAIR METHODS TO FIX YOUR SUB-FLOORS! Because 90% of the ROOT CAUSES of your SUB-Floors SQUEEKS and CROOKEDNESS Defects CANNOT be Permanently Cured by following the MILLIONS of 'EXTERNAL' Repair Methodologies as outlined below. THE SQUEAKY FLOOR DOCTOR IS STRICTLY AN INTERNAL SUB-FLOOR SURGEON AND SPECIALIST AT DIAGNOSING THE ROOT CAUSE(S) OF THOUSANDS OF VARIOUS COMBINATIONS OF FLOOR-FRAME DEFECTS AND WILL ONLY MAKE THE BEST REPAIRS AND UPGRADES FOR A FINAL LONG TERM SOLUTION.

* * * * * * * * * * VS. * * * * * * * * * *
MILLIONS of COMMON 'KOZMETIK' EXTERNAL WAYS
| BUYER BEWARE & PLEASE BE ADVISED |
The Squeaky Floor Doctor Vehemently Opposes the Very Popular Uses of Spreading Self-Leveling Compounds that are Widely Written About in 100,000's of Blogs/Opinions and Heavily Promoted on the Internet, YouTube Videos and by Tile/Wood Installers in Futile Attempts to Smooth Out the High/Low Areas in Plywood Sub-Floors. There are 100,000's of YouTube Explainer Videos and 1,000's of Compounds on the Market that are Low Cost, Applied Quickly and Poor Quality. These Cementitious Compounds will Crack and Create Annoying Crunchy/Potato Chip Type Sounds Under Your NEW Tile/Laminate Flooring in: A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND YOU WILL BE VERY ANGRY AND UPSET WHEN YOUR NEW TILE/GROUT CRACKS AND LEAVES YOU AND YOUR NEW FLOORS IN A BAD QUANDARY.
[There is NO VALID REASON why a Floor should ever make a Sound!]
FURTHERMORE ~ The SFD Denounces the Uses of Devices [100,000's of YouTube Videos Online] that Attempt to Stop the Squeaks by 'Screwing' Through the Carpeting, Hardwood Flooring or Plywood SubFloors because there are Drain Lines, Gas Pipes, Copper/PEX Water Lines, HVAC Ducts, etc. which can Easily be Punctured which will cause Thou$ands of Dollar$ in Damage$ Due to a Fire or Flooding. Additionally, Very Rarely Does 'Just 'Screwing' the 'Loose Floor Boards' Down to the Floor Joists' Eliminates the 'Squeeks.' BECAUSE THESE METHODS RARELY ADDRESS THE CAUSAL EFFECTS, THIS WILL CONTINUE TO BE:
'JUST AN OLD MYTH!'
[Most of the so-called experts all say squeaky noises are 'normal.']
BOTTOMLINE ~ Unfortunately, the Millions of So-Called Guru's Peddling the 'COMMON' Methods ALL FAIL TO INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING IN THEIR SLICK 'HOW TO......' VIDEOS:
ZERO ['0'] Types of IN-Home Services Offered
ZERO ['0'] Money Back Guarantee Included
ZERO ['0'] Day Warranties Mentioned

We do it all and our reviews and photographs speak to the dedication and passion Richard Alcaraz insists in every sub-floor project we undertake - large or small - local or out of town. The Squeaky Floor Doctor is dedicated to making the customer experience perfect!

PS2 ~ MYTH ~ Since I've held your attention this long, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME, one more CRITICAL FACT you'll find Really Interesting: Your UPstairs Floor was NEVER DESIGNED NOR CONSTRUCTED for BSNRDSUHLA to Randomly Occur Decades Later. Your Builder probably told you that a 1' to 2-inch sink-hole is 'NORMAL' and that 'NOTHING' can be done about BSNRDSUHLA. UNfortunately, this is the typical mindset of much of the So-Called Experts in the Residential Housing Industry. Fortunately, somehow you found out about My Company and Services AND I CAN ELIMINATE 100% OF BSNRDSUHLA FOREVER! The fact is BSNRDSUHLA Should NOT be 'NORMAL' and has Resulted Due to MANY Design and Installation Flaws Combined With Decades of Gravity.

PLEASE, I IMPLORE YOU TO STAY CLEAR OF THE YOUTUBE ADVOCATES SUGGESTIONS TO FILLING THIS 'SINK-HOLE' FULL OF CONCRETE AS YOU WILL BE ADDING TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WEIGHT/MASS TO AN UNSTABLE FLOOR FRAMING ASSEMBLY & THIS 'MAGIKAL KOZMETIK FLOOR-LIFT' WILL GAIN MOMENTUM & ACCELERATE FURTHER SINKAGE & CREATE A BIGGER DISASTER VERY QUICKLY!!!

******WARNING & BUYER BEWARE******
Please Be Advised that during the past 5 years there has been a Huge Proliferation of ***ONLINE*** Sub-Floor Referral Advertising Agencies that CLAIM to offer Professional Sub-Floor Repair Services on the Internet using nearly identical terminologies, names, slogans & phrases that the SFD has used for many decades. Some of these companies have even stolen SFD photos & falsely claiming my work is theirs in their advertising. Please be Informed that NONE of them actually perform ANY of the Sub-Floor Repair Work themselves and are: STRICTLY THIRD PARTY MARKETING AGENCIES TRYING TO GET 'CLICKS' BY YOU FILLING OUT THEIR ONLINE FORMS TO GET YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT THEY THEN SELL TO THEIR 'PARTNERS' WHICH THEN TRY TO SELL YOU MORE STUFF; or Selling Supplies/Squeak Device Gimmicks. ALL of them DO NOT List any Telephone Numbers/Addresses for Service Calls! Here is a Partial List of Third Party Referral Marketing Agencies & SFD has NEVER been Affiliated with ANY of them & NEVER will be:
DubaiFlooring.com
BrosFlooringPlus.com
FloorRepairsPros.com
CherishedMemories.com
HUBER Engineered Woods 'HEW'
Huberwood.com, ONLY sells materials/supplies under Brands:
AdvanTech OSB Products
ZIP System Products
HEW Claims a 'Squeak-Free Guarantee' in their online marketing materials and advertisements, BUT, if you carefully read their Limited Warranty Disclaimer (LWD), they will ONLY COVER: 'Their 'OSB-to-FloorJoist Connection' will not work itself loose to create an Audible Sound.' ALL other type of Floor Assembly Noises/Squeaks are Clearly Listed and are Specifically EXCLUDED. The LWD also provides a long list of requirements that must be met and the appropriate Time Frames to file a VALID Squeaky Floor Claim. You can go to HuberWood.Com and the drop down menu to print out a PDF form listing the product warranty info.

Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc., Etc.
Nearly ALL of them have contacted SFD to try to get us to join their Lead Generation Program and they demand a fee for each referral provided; the same Lead is 'sold' multiple times to many different contractors. Then they demand a separate fee for a percentage of the sale amount of each job completed. WE STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THESE MULTIPLE LAYERS OF EXTRA COSTS/FEES SHOULD NEVER BE PASSED ONTO THE CONSUMER AS THERE IS NO VALUE DERIVED BY USING THE SERVICES OF THESE REFERRAL AGENCIES!!! We have told them that we are NOT interested in doing any business with them! ALL of these Advertising Agencies are NOT Authorized to Claim to have EVER been Associated with The Squeaky Floor Doctor in ANY form!
. ..you need to ask the questions that need to be answered
and question the answers you are given...
Please remember ONE CRITICAL FEATURE that ALL these Referral Type Agencies REFUSES to 'COPY' from the SFD are our Standard 50, 100 or 200 Year 'NO EXCLUSIONS' Transferable Warranties to Subsequent Homeowners an UNLIMITED times amount of times during the warranty time period!
MY EARLY YEARS ~ As a young kid growing up in Inglewood, CA, my dad and grandfather would take me to construction projects after school or on the weekends to clean up the work site. Sadly, I would constantly hear the tradesmen saying, 'That's NOT my job or telling the homeowners 'this or that was NOT done right by others' literally ALL the time.' I felt sorry for the poor homeowner's who felt like they were a hamster on a hamster wheel going Around 'n Around in Circles trying to get work corrected multiple times to their satisfaction without a 'Single-Source' of Accountability. When I founded The Squeaky Floor Doctor, this was one my fundamental pillars to be 100% responsible for the project: Start-to-Finish [from A-2-Z just like my Last Name] and a One-Job-at-a-Time Policy plus ZERO 'BS' Finger Pointing! My #1 Goal was to be the Standard Bearer and REset the Bar Very High to Set the New Industry Standard on Building A Perfect SUB-Floor Assembly so that it is Impossible for it to Manifest into a Bounce, Sag or Squeak for Centuries after I am finished. I also wanted to Engineer a Sound Barrier so that Talkng, TV and Stereo type Audible Sounds Cannot pass through the SUB-Floor assembly components. ALL this work is Meticulously Hand Crafted on Site:
ZERO Exclusions, Period!
