"Soundproofing" isn't just throwing some foam on the wall and calling it a day. If you want to actually keep sounds outside a studio from getting in, and vice versa, you need lots of mass and specialized construction techniques. I'm very experienced in sound technology and acoustic treatment, but not handy with construction. "If you don't have time to do it right, you don't have time to do it over" - so I hired Florida Soundproofing to remodel my spare bedroom into a studio. I worked mostly with Glenn, Jordan, and a few others, and everyone I spoke to was helpful and communicative. As they point out on their website, typical results are a dramatic *reduction* in sound, not *elimination*. That is, expect impressive *excellence*, the best you can easily find...but not inhuman *perfection*. Before hiring Florida Soundproofing, I had extremely poor isolation in the rooms of my house - something like 20dB STC at most, according to my informal measurements. After construction, the isolation is considerable; I measured around 45-50ish dB. That means it's not *quite* silent outside when there is loud sound inside. If I crank the volume to an uncomfortable level in the studio with closed doors, outside the sound is still quietly audible, though not objectionable. It would take more mass (incurring more cost, and sacrificing room space) to achieve a greater degree of isolation. 45dB is sufficient for my purposes, since anything I'm recording late at night is still inaudible in the bedroom across the hall with a fan on. One slight inconvenience that came up was a misunderstanding about the exact schedule of construction; I found out on the Thursday that the drywall subcontractors were scheduled to do the installation, taping, and mudding that Saturday and Sunday, which I wasn't expecting, meaning I had to change some plans. That was just misaligned expectations; if I had explicitly mentioned which days I wasn't readily available, rather than assuming they were working only weekdays, it wouldn't have been an issue. The Florida Soundproofing team worked very quickly and efficiently - the whole project was done in less than two weeks. They also did a great job with HVAC, cleverly extending the length of the airflow and directing it through numerous twists, turns, and acoustic barriers. I don't hear any sound leaking through the vents, but still have excellent ventilation in the studio with the doors closed. They were easy to work with and made sure that everything turned out up to their standards. When the door-to-floor seals they installed weren't quite right, they custom-ordered replacements and installed them for me. They also took care of installing a new ceiling fan and fixing some electrical wiring a previous homeowner had botched, and gave me some extra acoustic treatment supplies that were left over from another project, which blended in nicely with the rigid fiberglass treatment I built myself. Make no mistake, this process is not cheap. It was disconcerting to see that inflation + the price of materials and labor had gone up so much in 12 years...my MN studio that was almost 3x the square footage, with double the drywall per surface, cost (in 2013) roughly 40% of the price of this smaller project (in 2025). But if you want it done right, and don't want to have to do it over, Florida Soundproofing does deliver.

Glenn and Rich were amazing to work with. They prioritized my school's needs and timeline, completing a rush job flawlessly. They worked after hours and their crew was very professional and efficient. Jordan the team lead was very communicative while providing an expert install, clearly explaining the work being done and the timelines they would be doing it. Would absolutely recommend their services to anyone, especially schools or companies with special needs or timeframes to work around. Customer service was top-notch!

Florida Soundproofing has been an excellent resource for our acoustical issues at the PGA Golf Club. They provided professional services as we navigated numerous projects throughout the clubhouse. They were courteous, accommodating to our scheduling needs, started and completed each project on time. Jordan and the crew were clean, friendly and communicated well as each project progressed. I would recommend them to anyone in need of their services.

I can’t say enough great things about Glen and Rich. Insanely knowledgeable about all things noise. Professional and courteous. We live near the turnpike expansion and they came up with several suggestions to assist. Highly recommend.

The experience with Florida Soundproofing was excellent and the installations @ First Baptist Church of Crystal River went so very smoothly! After setting up an on-site visit, for an acoustical analysis, the company gave us a fair quote with a realistic proposal. They were patient with us while the church evaluated the information and voted upon the proposal. Florida Soundproofing double checked measurements, calendaring, and performed the installations so that the regularly scheduled activities of the church were not affected. The installation crews were highly professional and were pleasant to interact with. The church membership has remarked many times about the positive difference these acoustical treatments have made in our spaces. First Baptist Church of Crystal River would HIGHLY recommends Florida Soundproofing for any facility that needs their services.
