A method for constructing flooring so as to prevent development of squeaks, by laying a strip of adhesive cushioning tape on the edges of the joists and placing the floor decking on top of this, and also a tool for applying this tape. The tool has a handle for manual operation, and there is an adjustable width head assembly on the lower end of this which enables the tool to engage joists of various widths. This has a central roller flanked by compound wall members. The compound wall members are made up of plate-like wall segments, and these may be displaced vertically on an axle member so as to adjust the width of the guide area which is defined between the wall members.
