On-site consultationsMeasured, not guessed

General project insights are free over the phone — and you're welcome to email photos of the space for a ballpark cost range. When you need the exact assembly, the exact materials, and measured square footage, we come to you and document the room in detail.

Every project starts the same way — we meet you in the space, listen to the problem, and measure what the build will actually take.
The walkthrough

What we cover on site

Measured square footage

We measure every treated surface so material counts are exact — no over-ordering, no second trip for a missing box.

The right assembly for the space

Windows, doors, walls, ceilings, floors and more — we identify the flanking paths and specify the build that actually solves them.

Materials we stand behind

You leave with a named product list — clips, channel, drywall, damping compound, insulation, seals — matched to the noise you're fighting.

Install feasibility

Access, ceiling height, existing finishes, and sequencing get checked on site, so the schedule we give you is one we can hold.

Architects, designers and specifiers: the same visit produces what a drawing set needs — measured surfaces, a named assembly, product data sheets, and quantities you can put in a specification. Tell us the submittal deadline when you book.

Prefer to start remotely? Call for a free phone consultation, or email photos of the space to elad@westcoastsoundsolutions.com — we'll give you a general cost range from there.

Our process

Three steps, start to finish

Expand any step to see exactly what it covers.

  1. 01

    We meet at the space

    A scheduled walkthrough of every affected surface. We listen to the problem, take measurements, and photograph conditions that affect the build.

  2. 02

    Review your plan and estimate

    Following the visit, you receive a written estimate with the recommended assembly, quantities, and labor scope — priced from what we measured, not from guesswork.

  3. 03

    We silence the space

    Move forward with our install crew, materials only, or both. We work clean, protect finishes, and finish on the schedule we committed to.

Consultation fee

Starting at $150 — credited back to your project

San Francisco consultations begin at $150. The final amount depends on your location, so send us your ZIP code and we'll confirm the total — or call for immediate feedback.

The fee is returned to customers who move forward with materials or labor. If you're buying materials either way, it's worth booking the visit first: you get professional feedback on the assembly and a material list matched to your room.

Estimates are issued after the on-site consultation, once measurements are taken and the full space has been examined in detail.

Questions

Soundproofing questions we answer every week

Still unsure whether you need a visit? Start here — then call us, or send the form above.

Soundproofing stops sound from moving between spaces using mass, decoupling, damping, and air-sealing — rated by STC for airborne noise and IIC for impact noise. Acoustic treatment shapes the sound inside a room using absorption, rated by NRC. If you hear the neighbors, you need soundproofing. If your own room echoes, you need treatment.
