If your house is wood framed with wood joists, the shaking may be caused by floor joists being too small. This will cause the floor to sink whenever a person walks across the room. Floor joists should be size by an experienced carpenter, architect, or engineer to prevent movement.

Another cause of floor movement may be insufficient bracing between the floor joists. This will cause sagging and twisting of the joists.

There are several solutions that require the skills carpenter. New joists can be added beside the existing joists to strengthen the floor. Another option is to add one or more beams and columns in the room below the floor. Or blocking can be added between existing joists to add support.

Is it correct English usage to say 'walking up the stairs' or 'climbing up the stairs'?
