Soundproofing for Twin Cities Homes

Step by Step

Our Soundproofing Process

Sound leaks through the weakest path. We find it first.

1. Contact us

   Tell us what you’re hearing and where — footsteps from above, a shared wall with the neighbors, a theater room that carries into the bedrooms, an office that needs privacy.

2. Diagnose the path

   We assess the assembly in person. Sound travels through structure, shared framing, ductwork, outlets, and door gaps, and treating the wrong path is how people spend real money and hear no difference.

3. Review the estimate and target

   You get a written scope and a realistic expectation. We’ll tell you what a given assembly will and won’t achieve rather than promising silence and delivering “better.”

4. Build the assembly

   Depending on the goal: resilient channel or sound clips and hat channel to decouple, staggered or double-stud framing, mineral wool in the cavity, and mass-loaded layers.

5. Add mass and damping

   Double layers of drywall with a viscoelastic damping compound between them, seams offset. This combination outperforms almost anything else per dollar and per inch of wall thickness.

6. Seal every flanking path

   Acoustic sealant at perimeters, backer boxes behind outlets, treatment at door and duct penetrations. A well-built wall with an unsealed gap performs like an unsealed gap.

7. Finish and test

   We tape, texture and paint the finished assembly so it looks like any other wall in your house — then walk the room with you and listen to the result together.

The Honest Version

Why Hire a Twin Cities Soundproofing Contractor?

The internet is full of soundproofing products that do very little and a handful of assemblies that do a great deal. Knowing the difference — and being able to build the second kind, then finish it so the room still looks finished — is what you’re actually hiring.

When you work with our team, here’s what you get:

• High-quality craftsmanship, never from subcontractors.

  Our own in-house employees complete every project. We invest in training our crews in trade technique, jobsite conduct and customer service, and we don’t hand your home to a rotating cast of subs.

• Lasting results you will love.

  We stand behind our work in writing. If something isn’t right after we’ve gone, we come back and correct it — no argument about whose responsibility it was.

• Fair, transparent pricing.

  Our standards are high and our pricing is straightforward. You get a written scope with the price attached, and options at different price points where they genuinely exist.

• Local knowledge that matters here.

  Minnesota’s climate is hard on buildings. Freeze-thaw cycles, humid summers and long heating seasons all change what holds up. We’ve worked in this metro since 2007 and it shapes what we recommend.

• A reputation you can check yourself.

  628+ Google reviews at a 4.8-star average, plus a long trail of repeat customers and referrals across the metro. Read them before you call us.
