Soundproofing Brooklyn
Brooklyn covers three very different building worlds: the brownstone and limestone rowhouse belt, the converted industrial lofts along the waterfront, and the new towers downtown and on Fourth Avenue. Each one fails acoustically in its own way.
What we are called for across Brooklyn
Rowhouse conversions
Brownstones and limestones divided into apartments have original joist floors between units. The garden and parlour floors hear each other completely, and that is the most common complaint in the borough.
Converted industrial lofts
Warehouse buildings in Williamsburg, Greenpoint and DUMBO have heavy timber or concrete on steel decks, with partitions added later that often stop short of the deck above them.
Expressways and elevated lines
The BQE, the Prospect Expressway and the elevated J, M and Z structures put traffic and train noise directly against housing, and the bridges add noise of their own on top.
Boards, alteration agreements and building access
Brooklyn work spans co-op boards, condominium managing agents, small private landlords and landmark districts, and the approval route differs in each case. We prepare the scope, insurance and schedule documentation the building needs, and in historic districts we keep the work entirely internal.

Soundproofing contractor in Brooklyn
As a soundproofing contractor Brooklyn NY owners, landlords and boards call directly, the job we are asked for most often is the floor between two units of a converted rowhouse. Residential soundproofing Brooklyn houses need is usually that assembly, and apartment soundproofing Brooklyn tower residents ask for is a concrete slab problem instead.
Commercial soundproofing Brooklyn businesses need covers restaurants, studios, offices and venues, very often in the same building as apartments. Studio soundproofing Brooklyn musicians ask for in the Bushwick and Gowanus industrial buildings is full isolation, not treatment, and the difference matters enormously to the budget.
The noise reduction Brooklyn clients get depends on identifying the structure correctly, because a frame house, a masonry rowhouse and a concrete tower need three different builds. As a soundproofing company Brooklyn buildings have worked with before, we survey free of charge and quote against a written specification.
