I've contacted the HOA and they said it was the home owners responsibility. After almost 3 years of this I'm ready to take legal action. I have a company to spray insulation in my ceiling. A costly and extremely messy job that I in tend to take on but if the floor boards aren't repaired it's not worth my effort. Need advice or estimate ???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-587948499497941945.post-33930457440216158132016-04-20T20:59:43.621-07:002016-04-20T20:59:43.621-07:00There is professional help out there, repairing sq...There is professional help out there, repairing squeaky floors.
