Soundproofing Ridgewood NJ

Ridgewood is large older houses around a walkable downtown, with the Main Line running through the centre of the village. Much of our work here is music rooms, home cinemas and offices in houses that the owners have no intention of altering visually.

Local Noise Problems

What we are called for in Ridgewood

Train line through the village

The line and its crossings run close to houses and to the apartments above the downtown shops. Horn noise is the complaint, and sealed glazing is the main remedy.

Music and practice rooms

Pianos, drums and brass in a family house need the room contained. Low frequency energy is what escapes, and that requires structure rather than foam or decorative panels.

Older house construction

Houses from the 1910s to the 1930s have lath and plaster over wide joists, generous rooms and very little separation between floors. Sound moves between floors far more freely than the solid feel of the house suggests.

Why Ridgewood

The constraint in Ridgewood is almost always appearance. We build to the existing trim and ceiling lines, keep original windows where an interior insert will do the job, and leave the room looking as though it was always that way.

Soundproofing services Ridgewood NJ

As a soundproofing contractor Ridgewood NJ homeowners call directly, our work here is mostly about containing sound rather than keeping it out. Residential soundproofing Ridgewood houses need covers music rooms, cinemas and offices, while studio soundproofing Ridgewood families ask for has to work without changing how the room looks.

Commercial soundproofing Ridgewood businesses need is concentrated downtown, in restaurants and offices below and beside apartments. Where a music room already contains sound but sounds wrong inside, acoustic treatment Ridgewood rooms need is a separate and much lighter piece of work.

The noise reduction Ridgewood owners get from an interior window insert, with the original sash left in place, is the detail that surprises people most here. As a soundproofing company Ridgewood clients can see on site quickly, we survey free of charge and specify to the house rather than from a catalogue.

Frequently Asked

Soundproofing in Ridgewood

View All FAQs →
Can a piano room be made not to carry through the house? +
Substantially, yes. A decoupled wall and ceiling with a properly sealed solid door handles most of it. For a grand piano or a drum kit we also treat the floor, because that is the path people forget.
Do I have to replace original windows? +
Not necessarily. An interior acoustic insert behind the existing sash gives a large part of the benefit and leaves the window as it is, which is what most Ridgewood owners prefer.
Will the work affect plaster elsewhere in the house? +
We cut and contain to the room being worked on. Old plaster is handled carefully, and where it has to be opened we make it good to a paint ready finish.
