Peace and quiet are essential. We offer specialized soundproofing installation using acoustic drywall, resilient channels, and sound-dampening compounds. Perfect for home theaters, master bedrooms, and home offices where noise reduction is a priority. Our soundproofing solutions significantly reduce noise transmission between rooms and from outside, creating the quiet sanctuary you deserve.
Quiet rooms come from combining four principles: adding mass, decoupling surfaces, absorbing vibration, and sealing air gaps. We use a layered approach tailored to each room — adding a second layer of 5/8-inch drywall, applying sound-dampening compound between layers, installing resilient channel or sound clips to break the vibration path, and packing wall and ceiling cavities with mineral wool or acoustic batts. Just as important, we seal every gap with acoustic caulk and address doors and outlets, because sound leaks through the smallest openings. The result is a measurable drop in the noise that passes between rooms.
Soundproofing pays off most in a few specific rooms. Home theaters and media rooms benefit from keeping bass and dialogue in. Master bedrooms and nurseries get peace from street noise and the rest of the house. Home offices — far more common since remote work took off across the Salt Lake Valley — need quiet for calls and focus. We also soundproof shared walls in basements, music and practice rooms, and bonus rooms above garages. We'll walk the space, identify where sound is actually traveling, and recommend the most cost-effective combination of treatments.
Soundproofing is priced by room size and how aggressive the treatment needs to be. A basic upgrade — acoustic batts plus an extra layer of drywall with dampening compound — is a moderate add-on during a remodel or basement finish, while a full decoupled assembly with resilient channel and sealed penetrations costs more because of the added materials and labor. Building it into a project you're already doing is the most economical time to soundproof, since the walls are open. We provide a free assessment and a written estimate with clear options at different price points.
Quiet rooms come down to the right combination of materials, and we choose them for each job. Mass-loaded products — a second layer of 5/8-inch drywall or specialty soundboard — block airborne noise. Damping compound applied between drywall layers converts sound energy to heat and is one of the most cost-effective upgrades available. Resilient channel and sound-isolation clips decouple the drywall from the framing so vibration can't travel straight through. Dense mineral wool or acoustic batts fill the cavity to absorb sound, and acoustic sealant locks down the edges and penetrations where noise leaks. We match the mix of these materials to your goals and budget rather than over-building, so you pay for the quiet you actually need.
We provide soundproofing across Salt Lake County, Davis County, Weber County, and Summit County — including Salt Lake City, Sandy, Draper, West Jordan, South Jordan, Herriman, Murray, Park City, Bountiful, Ogden, Layton, and Farmington.
Soundproofing dramatically reduces noise transmission but rarely makes a room 100% silent. By combining added mass, decoupling, insulation, and air-sealing, we achieve a large, noticeable drop in the sound passing between rooms — enough for theaters, bedrooms, and offices to feel genuinely quiet.
Home theaters and media rooms, master bedrooms and nurseries, home offices, basement shared walls, music rooms, and bonus rooms over garages all benefit most. We assess where sound is actually traveling and treat those paths.
Cost depends on room size and how aggressive the treatment is. A basic upgrade with acoustic batts and an extra drywall layer is a moderate add-on, while a fully decoupled assembly costs more. Building it into an existing remodel while walls are open is the most economical time.
Yes, though it's most cost-effective when walls are open. For finished rooms, we can add a mass layer and dampening compound over existing drywall, treat the ceiling, and seal gaps to reduce noise without a full tear-out.
Yes. For rooms below a noisy floor — like basement theaters or bedrooms under a living area — ceiling treatment with resilient channel and insulation is often the most important part of the job.
