Hello,
We have a 2-floor house in GA that is about 10 years old.
Lately, we are noticing a lot of creaks
when walking in the second floor and also
the floor is a bit bouncy.

Is this dangerous ?

We are telling family to not run upstairs. Not sure
if this is safe to do or not.

Do builders fix these things and/or is there
anything we can do?

THANKS

Since it's been winter, maybe it's because everyone gained a few pounds.

If nothing else, paint the steps silver.

Hope this helps.

Just don't hit your head.
