Soundproofing Riverdale
Riverdale is 1950s and 60s co-op towers along the ridge, single family houses on the quieter streets, the Henry Hudson Parkway below and the Metro-North Hudson Line along the river.
What we are called for in Riverdale
Co-op tower slabs and carpet rules
The post-war towers are concrete framed with carpet rules that do not settle impact noise. Footsteps and dropped items from above are the standard complaint.
Parkway and rail line
The parkway produces continuous traffic noise and the rail line adds passing events, both affecting the buildings and houses nearest the river.
Mechanical and elevator noise
Units beside elevator shafts, chutes or plant rooms receive structure borne noise, which needs the affected wall decoupled rather than thickened.
Working in Riverdale buildings
Riverdale is co-op country, with boards that review alteration packages carefully and buildings that enforce working hours. We prepare the documentation, work within the permitted window and protect the common areas on the route in.

Soundproofing services in Riverdale
As a soundproofing contractor Riverdale residents call in, the first thing to settle is usually a misunderstanding about carpet. Apartment soundproofing Riverdale co-ops need is an isolated ceiling, and residential soundproofing Riverdale house owners need is more often a facade or a media room job.
Commercial soundproofing Riverdale businesses need is limited in scale, mostly professional offices and medical suites where speech privacy is the requirement. Where a large apartment is simply hard sounding, acoustic treatment Riverdale rooms need addresses that alone.
The noise reduction Riverdale owners get is frequently delayed by board approval rather than by the work, so we hand over the complete package at the outset. As a soundproofing company Riverdale managing agents have reviewed before, we document everything in advance.
