Seven months ago, we hired Finest Finish to soundproof our bedroom ceiling. They did such a good job that we had Colten, Dylan and their crews back to do the rest of our apartment. Their professionalism and excellent communication skills continue to be a huge asset for them. Their trade skills and attention to detail are amazing. We can’t recommend them highly enough!
We hired Finest Finish to take down a bedroom ceiling, reinforce the joist/subfloor above, and insulate. They also added a layer of Sonopan, resilient channels, and drywall and then primed and painted.
I’ve worked with contractors and renovators many times. I have never seen a team with greater competence and attention to detail. Dylan and Colten are excellent communicators, who followed through completely and did everything they promised, exactly on schedule. They call (and show up!) when they say. They take great pride in their work, and the finished product is indeed the finest. The rest of their team was equally good. Very highly recommended!

Soundproofing works by blocking sound transmission. This may seem obvious, but the concept often becomes conflated with sound absorption. So what is the difference?
Sound Absorption
Sound absorption will reduce echo and background noise in a space, which will improve the sound quality within that space. This is achieved with sound-absorbing materials such as foam or sponges, which absorb the sound waves, as opposed to reflecting them. A music room or gym are prime examples of where sound-absorbing materials are especially beneficial. Acoustic foams and panels won’t block sound transmission, but they will reduce it slightly and can work in conjunction with soundproofing.
Most people who contact Finest Finish are looking for soundproofing. They want to minimize the noise coming from outside their space. There are four basic ways to block sound from transmitting through walls, ceilings or floors. They are best used together for maximum effectiveness.
Sound Transmission Class (STC) is a rating system used to measure the effectiveness of a building material or partition in preventing the transmission of airborne sound. It is commonly used in construction and architecture to assess how well walls, floors, doors, windows, and other structural elements can isolate sound.
Key Points about STC:
STC is an important consideration in building design, especially in multi-family housing, hotels, offices, and any spaces where sound privacy and control are important.
Soundproofing can significantly increase property value for several reasons, particularly in a condo.
Enhanced Privacy and Comfort:
Overall, investing in soundproofing can lead to a more desirable living environment, making the property more appealing to a wider range of potential buyers or renters and potentially increasing its market value.
Deciding between hiring a drywaller and a soundproofing specialist is crucial in the quality of installation and degree of soundproofing effectiveness that you desire.
