Restore your peace and quiet
We understand that your home is your greatest investment. There’s nothing more frustrating than feeling trapped in a situation you can’t control. Many people have gone so far as to consider selling their home just to escape audible disturbances. Our job is to make you feel comfortable in your home once again. Soundproofing can also add to the equity of your home.
Jensen Contracting’s Soundproofing Procedure
Once You Consult with Us, We Assess Your Home |
After your first free consultation, we evaluate the acoustics of your house and measure the level of noise reduction you need. Whether you want to quiet a single room, add sound isolation for a home theater, or control echo in a basement or recording studio, we create a tailored plan to suit your needs. We determine where soundproofing walls, ceilings, floors, doors, or window inserts will make the most significant difference and choose the right acoustical products for your project. |
Installation of Soundproofing Materials |
Our skilled technicians handle every detail of the soundproofing installation process. From ceiling soundproofing to floor underlayment, wall assemblies, and sealing around doors, outlets, and light fixtures, we make sure every gap is addressed. The result is a completely sealed, professionally installed system that keeps your space quiet and private. |
Selection of Soundproofing Materials |
We only use high-quality soundproofing products designed to reduce vibration and block unwanted noise. Depending on your needs, we may recommend soundproofing insulation, acoustic panels, or even advanced solutions to stop sound transfer between walls. Every product is chosen to deliver effective sound isolation while blending seamlessly with your home’s décor. |
Final Testing |
Once installation is complete, we perform careful soundproofing tests to confirm optimal noise reduction. Through our proven process, we ensure you can enjoy peace, quiet, and better acoustics right away. |
FREE Sound Evaluation
We start every project by evaluating the source of the problem. If you’re trying to escape bothersome barking, neighbor chatter, or other audible disturbances, you’re dealing with what is called Airborne Sound. If your primary concern is noise associated with footfalls or low-frequencies (heavy bass from music, etc.), your situation falls under what is called Impact Sound.
Let us give you a FREE sound evaluation.

Home Theaters & Recording Studios
In a home theater situation, you want to be able to turn up the volume and feel the bass, without disturbing the rest of the house. In a home recording studio, it’s all about having a controlled sound environment. Either way, we will help define the goals for the project and the options we have to meet them.
Once we have evaluated your goals, we match up what we need to isolate with the corresponding STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating required to achieve that standard of soundproofing. Then we address the four main elements of soundproofing that will achieve your goals; decoupling, mass, absorption, and dampening. Once we have a plan, we’ll present multiple options to meet the level of soundproofing you need.
One of the most important things that sets Jensen Contracting apart from other soundproofing contractors is that we will always build beyond your expectations. We address factors such as outlets or other gaps in walls to eliminate flanking. This attention to detail will help you reach the level of sound dampening you need.
Jensen contracting delivers what they say they are going to deliver, in the time frame and a price specified. I look for those things before anything else in a contractor, especially living on Bainbridge Island, where random no-shows and flakey behavior are the norm. He did a soundproofing project for me on a new rehearsal studio and I wouldn't have succeeded with the project if not for his expertise in that field. The little outbuilding was way overbuilt - exactly what I wanted. There were no cost overruns until the detail work where my requirements drove the changes. Completely fair. What I appreciate most is the frequent and open communication. He brings a great crew with him as well - smart pros who add a lot of value.

Frequently Asked Questions
for Soundproofing
How Does Soundproofing Work?
Soundproofing involves blocking the transmission of sound from one space to another by using materials and techniques to absorb, dampen, or isolate the sound waves.
What Types of Sounds Can Be Soundproofed?
Sounds vary from airborne sounds (like traffic and music) to impact sounds (like objects being dropped and low hertz sounds). Fortunately, these sounds can be blocked using soundproofing techniques and materials.
How Much of the Floor, Wall, or Ceiling Do I Need to Cover to Reduce Noise?
To determine the amount of soundproofing materials required to reduce noise in your room to a specific level, please consult with us for a tailored recommendation.
What is the Difference Between Sound Absorption and Sound Insulation?
Sound absorption is the process by which sound is absorbed by a material that converts some or all of the sound waves into heat or allows them to pass through without returning. It is best suited for rooms where the homeowner wants to reduce echo and reverberation.
Sound insulation prevents sound from traveling through space, such as keeping outdoor noise from entering the inside of a home, thereby keeping unwanted sounds in or out of the space.
Does My Project Need Soundproofing or Acoustic Treatment?
Soundproofing is necessary if your project goal is to block sounds through airtight seals and vibration-dampening measures, which prevent sound waves from traveling through the structure.
Acoustic treatment improves a room’s overall acoustics by removing unwanted sound elements, such as through sound absorption. While this treatment reduces unwanted noise to a certain degree, it does not remove noise wholly.
