Soundproofing Hamilton Heights
Hamilton Heights is rowhouses and pre-war apartment houses around City College, with the 1 train on the elevated structure at 125th Street and Riverside Drive along the western edge. Shared and subdivided housing shapes a lot of the work here.
What we are called for in Hamilton Heights
Elevated train structure
The elevated section of the 1 line puts train noise close to upper floor windows, and the steel structure radiates noise as well as the train running on it.
Shared and subdivided housing
Rowhouses and apartments split into shared units combine late schedules with thin partitions, which produces complaints quickly.
Rowhouse floors
Original joist floors between converted units transmit footsteps directly, and the ceilings below are usually plaster on lath with nothing in the cavity.
Working in Hamilton Heights buildings
Much of the housing here is owner managed or run by small landlords, so decisions are quick but budgets are defined. We set out the options in order of value, so the largest improvement per dollar is clear before anything is committed.

Soundproofing services in Hamilton Heights
As a soundproofing contractor Hamilton Heights owners and landlords call in, the brief is usually to get the most improvement from a fixed budget. Residential soundproofing Hamilton Heights rowhouses need is normally the floor between units, and apartment soundproofing Hamilton Heights tenants ask for is a window or a door.
Commercial soundproofing Hamilton Heights businesses need is small in scale, mostly ground floor retail and food units under apartments on Broadway and Amsterdam. Where a converted room sounds boxy, acoustic treatment Hamilton Heights spaces need resolves it on its own.
The noise reduction Hamilton Heights clients get per dollar is highest at the weakest element, which in this housing stock is almost always a door or an unsealed window. As a soundproofing company Hamilton Heights landlords use across several units, we price repeat work accordingly.
