BUILDERS
FOR
If you're in the business of renovating or building new residential units, you have a great opportunity to build your brand and add add extra value and comfort to your clients' homes by incorporating sound control into their design.
​
Our services are available for subcontract, or if your clients have hired us directly, we will work with you to integrate into your construction calendar.
​
We typically do not offer consultation services only, as we prefer to use our experienced installers to ensure the job is done properly. However, if you have special circumstances, please contact us to discuss your needs.
Create Happy Clients. Build your Brand
Adding sound control will increase your client's comfort and satisfaction. A job well done should be reward in itself, but happy clients who feel well taken care of are going to think very highly of your business and make referrals. People will talk about the extra steps an services provided during your build and this will in turn get the word out about the quality of your brand.
Increase Value
​
Increase value by incorporating sound control in your design. Buyers are becoming more savvy. As horror stories increase and negative past personal experience with residential noise mounts, buyers are beginning to ask questions as well as questioning the quality of materials used and the reputations of the builders. Let buyers know you employed the best industry standards available to ensure their comfort. Increase their confidence of a quality product and build your reputation as a thoughtful, quality builder.
Best Practices
There are few regulations regarding sound and noise control. In multiunit homes, some HOAs require specific STC and IIC ratings, but these are NOT achievable by insulation alone. Best practices of sound control employ adding mass, decoupling, absorption and damping methods. No one method can stop all frequencies and sources of sound. If you are building to create comfort and quality instead of just meeting legal minimums, systems need to be installed that use all four principles on multiple surfaces. We also take a look at the overall plans for the trades and make suggestions to these systems to keep sound transmission to a minimum.
It's just the right thing to do
We work with many miserable people who should be enjoying their new homes, but are instead faced with heated arguments (and sometimes threatened lawsuits) with stomping neighbors and the costly and painful prospect of ripping apart ceilings or newly installed floors. It's not just the most economical, but it's also and most effective to install sound control systems from the start.
