Green Glue, Soundproofing & Band Practice

What happens when a homeowner wants to hold band practices at their house

? Sound and vibration travel through points where materials come in contact with each other - the ceiling, walls, and floors. There are a variety of ways that rooms are soundproofed depending on the level of quiet you want to achieve (and budget).

Some of the more common methods include:

Install specially designed channels between the studs and drywall to deaden vibration.

Install multiple layers of drywall joined with a soundproofing glue called Green Glue.

Fill air pockets in walls and ceilings with foam insulation.

Use Homasote boards instead of traditional drywall for their sound barrier properties.

Use acoustical doors and windows with sound deadening properties.

Over the course of three weeks, a handyman company can help the involved parties into their project goals, budget and project plan. The transfer of noise to the living spaces on the other side of the walls from the music room will be minimized through these methods.

To help manage costs, focus on the soundproofing efforts on the two interior walls and the ceiling and leave the exterior walls untouched.

We have applied the above methods to our existing customers of my handyman business. Eric who wanted to hold band practice at their home and Marguerite wanted to explore what their options were and how much the project might cost. To stay within budget, Eric (our homeowner) volunteered to do the demolition work, which included removing the dropped ceiling and wood paneling on the two interior walls. We also also suggested Eric act as the "helper". He could learn how to hang drywall from an expert and because we prefer using 2 people to put drywall up on a ceiling, they would save money (you can do it with 1 person using a temporary sling or special tools only a drywall company has).

The construction phase of the project achieved its desired results, finishing on time and on budget. The homeowners appreciated our attention to detail during the project planning phase. "When we started researching the soundproofing project, you who really helped us get our bearings and guide our research. We were able to identify exactly what would provide the best results and what we could accomplish within our budget," reflected Eric after the project was completed. said "We know it isn't easy to find a contractor who can do everything that your company did at such a high level of quality," reflected Marguerite. "We hope to work with you in the future for any project too daunting for us to tackle on our own."
