"We used The Powell Company for several jobs on our house near Oneonta before realizing our mistake, so we have the experience to warn others. First, this company makes some very stupid “mistakes”. For example, they put a downspout directly over an electrical outlet, and they replaced items on our house that were NOT the rotted ones. We had to call them back to move the downspout so it wouldn’t block the outlet, and to replace the correct items; they got angry and blamed US for cutting into their profit because doing the work the right way would cost them money. Second, they cut corners or use cheap materials despite the impact on their customers; for example, they used plastic gutter brackets that broke in a season instead of metal ones that hold up year after year. Third, good builders try to think ahead and account for contingencies in a project in advance and fairly, but in our experience Powell didn’t use its imagination because it just put all risk of an unknown or cost overrun on us. This can result in large avoidable and unnecessary costs for the homeowner. Third, being lawyers, we recognized that proposals Powell gave us, which become binding contracts once signed, were, in our opinion, unfairly one-sided — they protected only Powell in any contingency that arose during their work and if any litigation came from the contract. We tried to change this to protect ourselves too, but could not. We have found other builders who are fairer from the get-go, or who will promptly agree to changes to lopsided proposals, and such an attitude speaks volumes. Last, but certainly not least, we foolishly didn’t get other bids for a few jobs that Powell did. When we wised up, we found that Powell cost 2-4 times what other builders did for the jobs we were doing. Bottom line — we caution anyone considering using The Powell Company."

Using recycled egg cartons to soundproof a room is ineffective because these thin, porous materials fail to block sound waves. High-quality sound-dampening foam panels absorb sound energy completely and have a flat backing for secure attachment. This method guarantees enhanced noise reduction and an improved aesthetic, making it the reliable choice for soundproofing.
Soundproofing performed during new construction is more cost-effective than retrofitting an existing room. Incorporating soundproofing while building eliminates the need for extensive retrofits later, reducing labor and material expenses. New construction projects invest $15 per square foot, while retrofitting requires $30 per square foot. This proactive approach significantly enhances acoustic performance and value.
The best soundproofing approach is determined by the noise severity, room function, and the quality of materials used. For minor ambient noise, installing soundproof curtains may suffice. However, spaces exposed to heavy traffic or industrial sounds require insulation, specialized drywall, and superior window installations. Professional consultation ensures that every element meets the room’s acoustic requirements.
Sound Transmission Class (STC) quantifies a material's ability to block sound; higher STC ratings indicate superior soundproofing performance, ensuring less noise passes between spaces. This rating is essential when selecting windows, doors, or wall materials to meet specific acoustic performance standards.
While completely soundproofing a room is technically possible, it is not cost-effective due to extensive material and labor requirements. Targeting a noise reduction between 25% and 50% delivers significant acoustic improvement without exorbitant costs. An investment between $1,000 and $2,000 achieves outstanding results. Therefore, attaining complete silence is impractical for most residential projects.
