Thin strip floor or full 3/4?
*Maybe placeing shims from underneath
*David, First you need to identify the location of the squeaks. Is it coming from the hardwood flooring or from the sub floor? Is it a localized squeak, ie one spot only or does it follow you as one walks across the floor? Is there floor underlay paper between the floor and subfloor?walk gooddavid
