I worked with Angel at West Coast Sound Solutions to soundproof the ceiling in my home, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Angel is the real deal. He understood exactly what I needed, explained the materials and process clearly, and delivered a result that exceeded every expectation. The noise reduction is dramatic. The workmanship is meticulous. The entire project was handled professionally, on time, and with zero surprises. If you need serious soundproofing done right the first time, ask for Angel. Worth every dollar. read more

Charged for a visit. Promised a response within a week. Three weeks later, I have heard nothing back. I assume a refund is out of the question. This is least value I have gotten from $250. I wish I could run a business where I could charge money to talk to a prospect, and then deliver nothing. read more

Angel and his team installed sound proofing in the ceiling of a downstairs office in our 2500 sq ft house. This is intended to reduce the likelihood that late night conversations might disturb the sleep of people in upstairs rooms. The work seems to have solved the problem: sound no longer travels to the room directly above. So we are very happy with the outcome. Moreover, our experience with WCSS was uniformly positive from the initial very useful on-site consultation through completion of the project by the highly capable Angel and his team. We also had multiple straightforward and satisfying interactions with several members of the WCSS office throughout. It's very easy to recommend a company that is so competent and obviously places a premium on being helpful and professional. read more

We used West Coast Sound Solutions to soundproof two rooms from an adjacent neighbor and to remodel our small bathroom. They were great and easy to work with. We are new homeowners and knowing that we would be living/working from home, they understood our experience during the project is just as important as our happiness with the end result. They took care of the place by covering as much as they could to mitigate dust and debris, cleaned up almost daily so that even if they're still in the middle of something, it was clean by the end of the day, and held themselves and their team to the highest quality. Being our first big construction project, there were times when we had no idea what the process was or what was going to happen next. However, just a quick text to Angel or Haim and our questions were answered. They made sure we were happy with the end result before sending us off. Elad held each of his team members to the high caliber quality and service. We felt he really understood our style, our own bar of quality, and what we wanted from the project. In this way, he connected to us with Kery, an interior designer, who guided us through the bathroom design process with a depth of knowledge and eye for aesthetic to bring our vision to life. Haim is super personable and accommodating. When procuring parts for our radiant heating, we noticed there a part that had just been released by the manufacturer. When we asked if there was any way to exchange the older model with the newer model, Haim went out of his way to make it happen. What can I say about Angel? There's a reason his name is Angel. Even though he's busy with multi-room, multi-acre projects, he still made time to come by almost daily to come check up on our small bathroom project. He only cared that the quality of work from his guys were the best, was a stickler for cleanliness, and did it all with a wonderful sense of humor and care. If there was anything wrong with anything, he was our guy. In the end, we're happy with the results and made some friends along the way :) read more

I live in a 1914 Edwardian in the middle unit. Had really bad sound transfer from the unit above me. My upstairs neighbor also complained that he could hear noise coming from my unit. We had the full ceiling treatment done to our place and are very happy with results. It was quite expensive but the change is dramatic. Angel was the foreman on our job and we were happy with the service. read more

I have a building with an apartment over a bar and the sound from the jukebox was disturbing the tenant in apartment. West Coast Sound Solutions pulled up the carpet and put in two layers of sound insulation and improved the sound transmission 99%. Highly reccommended. Tom Frenkel read more

We recently purchased a house and inherited a converted loft with a lot of foot noise when anyone was upstairs. The quality of the interaction was very good - helpful and quick. That said - a comment was made below about the lack of tools to measure the sound. It's something I agree with - it would be great to see a before and after from their work. I do wonder whether they don't use any sound equipment as the work is subjective. read more

I have to honestly say that my experience with WCSS have been one of THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICES I've had in my life!!! They where there for me every step of the process. Even available to share advice over what the best plan of action was for me. They shared their time, expertise and knowledge to answer all my questions and even guided me in the process. So much so that they where openly honest as to help me save money in materials that, in my case and my project, where going to be too much and not necessary for my needs. I am a musician and VO actor. With all social distance and work from home nowadays I decided to build a sound proof home studio for the first time in my life. I am supper grateful that through my research I connected with West Coast Sound Solution! It was like having a best friend on my side expert in this field guiding and assisting me all the way through. I think I was lucky to find them. I am sure you'll feel the same after you experience buying from them. I am for ever grateful you guys!! read more

We live in a 1964 apartment building, where the laundry room is in the middle of the building. The vent for the dryer went two stories into the garage below. That wasn't an issue when the garage didn't have doors. When they put garage doors on and sealed up the area, the laundry vented into the garage, covering cars and walls with laundry lint mess. We upgraded our laundry machines, which was great, till we found out the stacked dryers needed two separate vents. West Coast Sound Solutions sent out a venting specialist who created separate dryer vents (a safety requirement) and re-routed the laundry vent outside the building. No more laundry lint on cars and in the air! The flue is elegantly placed, with clean lines. They checked it out once and then came back to complete the job in one day. Solid work, friendly folks. read more

We worked with WCSS for sound insulation in a new addition, which would be under our upstairs neighbors ad adjacent to a garage. We ended up going with an on-site consultation and ultimately bought the materials through them - very knowledgeable and great to work with. They were even able to price match some materials and accepted a return on unused materials after the fact. Highly recommend. read more

We talked to them on the phone and got a estimate that would be for around $10k-15k. After they came out to our place to check it out, the official quote became around 45-50k... Had we known there would be such a disparity, we would not have paid the $300+ for the official quote. The guy that came out was nice though, but it did take a few hours for him to be done. The part that I don't like the most is that there isn't a guarantee for their effectiveness. I could pay a large amount of money and then it could just not be very effective and I would be out of luck. Also, we wanted to soundproof one master bedroom and a quote of 45-50k is kind of crazy. I could do a good remodel for that price... The other concerning thing is that the good tell reviews that they have are short but the bad ones are quite long... Sounds like a hit or miss or some potentially fake reviews out there. I do think they capitalize quite a bit on the desperation of people who live in loud homes. And without any guarantees, it seems like the risk just ends up on the homeowners. read more

I bought a little vacation condo in 2020 with thin ceilings, but the upstairs neighbors weren't there much. Now they have retired and are there frequently and entertain heavily. Their footsteps, vacuuming, chair scraping and conversations were all a most unwelcome presence in my space, making me seriously consider selling the place. Instead, I hired West Coast Sound Solutions to throw everything they had at it--removing my entire ceiling, adding green glue and various other sound absorbing materials, and putting in springs to attach a new dropped ceiling in order to interrupt sound passages and to help absorb footfall and other impact noise. They also arranged to store my furniture during the construction and painted and cleaned the apartment afterwards. They made it easy for me. I went there last weekend for the upstairs poker party to check it out, and I was pleased and impressed! Conversations and other airborne sounds were almost eliminated, and though I could hear an occasional footfall it was muted and distant and not especially intrusive. They did a nice tidy job painting, and the ceiling is only about 1.5" lower than before. The WCSS people I worked with were all pleasant and professional. So glad they did this for me! Highly recommended!! read more

Excellent service & team. I would like to call out Stephen Curran who helped me with setting up home studio. I found Stephen to be very easy to work with, knowledgable & super helpful. Stephen guided me in the right direction in terms of acoustic panels, diffusor panels & rugs with padding saving me from spending unnecessary thousand's of dollars at other places. I highly recommend Stephen Curran at West Coast Sound Solutions. read more

I hired Elad and the soundproofing team to assess my condo soundproofing needs. Elad did a consult and came up with several different options, from most to least expensive. I ended up going with the least expensive option and it has improved the noise levels in my condo. I really love working with the whole team who are very responsive, friendly, and knowledgeable. read more

When I moved into my Condo in the Mission I came in conflict with my downstairs neighbor because she could hear me walking in my apartment at all hours of the day and night. Wanting to be a good neighbor and needing new carpets we called SF Soundproofing and they soundproof my floors screwing down my squeaky floorboards and installing a 1/2 rubber mat from wall to wall and sound reducing carpet pad and installed wall to wall carpet over that. Both my downstairs neighbor and I could not be happier at the quality of the work and the results working with this knowledgeable San Francisco small business. read more

If you're thinking this will completely remove sound, think again. I worked with Elad (owner) and WCSS to help reduce the sound in our condo summer 2017. We have a unit above us that was noisy with heavy footsteps and talking. Our building is brand new construction, so it *should* be up to the highest modern standards. That said, we asked them to come out and do an evaluation of our unit. There were no tools and instruments used -- it was just done by ear (1st red flag). I would have expected some instruments to measure the decibel levels but they didn't use them. They assured us that 100% they can get rid of the noise. We entrusted them with this and embarked on a nearly 3 month renovation of our home. We moved out for 2 months while they worked. We ended up "upgrading" to the wave-hanger clips that they suggested we use. This is just a way for them to take longer, charge more, and have no impact on your house (2nd red flag). I sit today, 6 months after moving back in, giving 1 star for worksmanship and that's it. $70k gone and nothing has really changed. I can tell this because we didn't modify our bathroom and the sound between the bathroom and our main level is the same. Same for both airborne sound and structure-based impact sound. We can hear everything clear as day in both. With doors closed and without. I reached out and tried to figure out how to make it better. Elad came by, again did the same "ear test" of what was wrong, dumped off rug pads for upstairs and went on his way. He never followed up. He never really tried to make it better. The idea of "sound proofing" is a myth and Elad and his team are nothing but sales people who try to pitch you on the promise that your house will be quieter when they are done (3rd red flag). It's impossible to really know what will happen with your house, but our place is literally brand new. Elad even told me himself he's not sure why it's not better. In an age of science and engineering, I'm shocked they didn't have something to help gauge the sound decibel level (can be bought online for $50). In addition to this, I reached out multiple times to Elad to follow up on a painting quote and he completely ghosted me. The minute he was paid, we never heard another word from him. I'm just surprised given how great they were at responding to me seemed earlier. I would emphatically recommend against Elad and his team and save your money for more effective solutions (rugs, talking to your neighbors, etc). Learn from our $70k mistake -- there are much cheaper ways at fixing noise. Nothing Elad and his team have done has improved anything with the noise and we're continuing to figure out how to make things better. I couldn't be more disappointed in a "sound proofing" company and wish we never embarked down this path to begin with. Do not use WCSS and please seek additional quotes. Hopefully they will take a more scientific approach to sound proofing than these guys. read more

Great service, extremely friendly and caring staff. Shipped materials to me quickly and very reasonable prices. Also, easy returns. I am in Los Angeles and they have an L.A. office/shipping center too. If they don't have it in stock in L.A., they ship from San Francisco, quick and easy! read more

The West Coast Sound solutions team did a great job sound proofing my place. I live by a busy road and have frequent construction noises permeating into my unit.

This is the most effective solution I've found anywhere in the state. The door tracks and windows not only cuts sound but keeps the house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The presses was confusing and I found to be hard to explain when asked about it but seeing it brings light to what the equipment is doing and how it works. They even explain how to adjust the door tracks if ever needed although they set the adjustment just right and should ever be needed and the equipment is good for life! I got this because of the heavy traffic near my house but from the results I got I highly recommend this if you're doing ANY kind of recording. read more

This team of people are a legend. Amazing. They are well led and staffed with experts. I worked with Stephen, Angel, Tui, Joanna and the experience was stellar. They are experts in the field of sound proofing and I was particularly impressed with their knowledge. Stephen on the front end sales and mainly Angel, through the development process, were awesome. Angel especially is a contractor, program manager, engineer all wrapped into one. Being an engineer, I was so impressed with their attention to detail and Angel's ability to explain why they were doing things a certain way. The West Coast team made my home studio dream come true. It was an immense pleasure working with them and I couldn't recommend them more... even as just general contractors if they are willing to work with you. Elad - congrats on a solid team and thanks! read more

We hired West Coast Sound Solutions to soundproof a room in our home, which faces the freeway. We were not sure if the noise levels could be reduced, and if so, which parts of the room would need to be upgraded. Elad used his experience and recommended we do the walls and windows. He felt the floor, ceilings, and walls in the closet would likely be ok left alone. For the walls Elad explained one product blocks low frequencies and the other high, so both should be done. We are very happy wIth the results. The noise level is reduced significantly. The finish work is beautiful and matches our other walls perfectly. Luis is the best for drywall work! Elad checked in on the job several times, and has been back to inspect it on completion. The experience has been excellent, and we will use Elad again without hesitation. read more

I hired West Coat Sound Solutions to do a full sound proofing between my top and bottom unit. They also installed a half bathroom. The final product looks great. There has been some sound reduction, which has been positive. Elad is incredibly honest and truly wanted me to be happy with the final product. With any construction project, there are always some bumps in the road, but Elad never wavered on his commitment to get this job done right and to my satisfaction. When it comes to home construction, trust and honesty are hard to come by, which is why i was grateful to work with Elad and recommend him to others looking for general contracting work. Thank you Elad and West Coast Sound Solutions! read more

I had a problem with sound, primarily sound traveling from an upper floor to the lower floor, and they recommended installing a sound proof carpet underlay with carpet on top. These guys were willing to patiently explain (and re-explain) all the options and their effectiveness along with a price quote. As far as price, I had some difficulty shopping around because soundproofing isn't a common product. I got one quote from a sub-contractor and they were more competitive than him. However, the carpet portion was less competitive as other carpet installers/stores. Taking everything into account, they were competitive and there were no hidden costs. Installation was done in a reasonable amount of time and in professional manner. This business is a subsidiary of A&M Carpet and Flooring and they reside at the same location. read more

I'm soundproofing the inside of my Grand Wagoneer and ran across residential soundproofing for the SUV. After calling all over the city Elad at West Coast Soud Solutions was the most knowledgeable over the phone. I ventured over to the shop and was glad I chose WCSS. Lead is totally connected to soundproofing and made suggestions based on my individual needs. He was very reasonable and not trying to pressure me to buying. I'm very happy with my purchase and will post pics of the results. Quick note...... They are in the same bldg as a carpet store, no signage! read more

Wow! These guys were great. I had a really odd issue with noise in my car. I do quite a few business calls from the road. So, sound quality is key. I'd tried working thru the dealer, made a few of my own attempts - no luck. I finally had a chance to go by Elad's place and they were incredibly responsive - immediately helped me think through how to solve it, measured everything out, cut the materials and sent me on my way (all in less than 15 minutes) with clear instructions about how to solve it myself (I had to head out of town the next day - couldn't have them fix it). And, all at a price so low I probably shouldn't quote it publicly. So, obviously, I can't say enough good things about these folks - and, like most reviewers here, highly recommend them as knowledgable, friendly, and fair. :) read more

We had a "walls are way too thin to be bedroom to bedroom" issue. The property manager was nice enough to let us re-do the wall we share to help with this issue when the former tenant moved out. SO we wanted to find a relatively cheap and easy way to do this. We found West Coast Sound solutions and are so glad we did!! Elad really took the time to understand our situation and then suggested a solution. He even provided a sound check test/demonstration with the products he suggested. He was really knowledgable about the whole problem and the Green Glue he suggested is working out fabulously! Highly-recommended for your sound problems. read more

We really enjoyed working with Elad and his team. We had all of our bedrooms and our hallway soundproofed - we used to be able to hear our upstairs neighbors shouting obscenities at each other at all hours, and every footstep and toilet flush. It has been a night and day change. Elad's team finished the job early, were totally professional, and our sleep (and day-to-day) has completely changed as a result. It was worth every penny. We were truly considering selling and moving, and now this has given us a new perspective on our condo. Highly recommend. read more

Anyone looking to improve their lives and surroundings by sound reduction should give Elad and his company, West Coast Sound Solutions full consideration. I'm not one to gush, but my experience with them and their work has transformed my living situation and hence, made my life so much better! We had a issue with a neighbor's industrial AC. The sound was a constant stress, especially at night. After seeking diy avenues, and other companies, I called Elad. Not only was he a professional breath of fresh air, his assessment of the project was light years ahead of anything else I'd heard. Cutting edge thinking! It involved going to the neighbors property, to discuss the work. He impressed my neighbor (a contractor!) to such a degree, we were immediately granted access. The approach, methods,and resources used proved absolutely successful! The sound reduction has changed our lives! As well as our relationship with the neighbor;) But here's the thing... although professional, expert in the field, and quality work would be enough for any recommendation, I have a choice of who I give my business to. The personal interest shown in my dilemma, the values and ethics I witnessed and received in our communication and work together, gave me complete confidence that I had made the only and best choice to get this job done. It makes me feel good to write this review, because Elad uses his business to make the world a better place. He gives generously to those he serves. This is a man and company you can trust. I am so grateful. Thank you Elad! read more

West Coast Sound Solutions completed a project at my house and I'm very satisfied with the result. They converted 3 rooms into a rental unit and added sound isolation from the rest of the house. The quality of their work is very good and their service is great. There's always someone to talk to if things don't go as planned and they are happy to make changes if needed (but be sure to check if the cost will increase). They have plenty of experience in soundproofing and use quality materials and proven methods. read more

Westcoast sound solutions have given me and my husband a solution we thought would never be possible. We recently purchased a home on busy Market Street in San Francisco not realizing how much the noise will negatively impact our sleep. My husband and I were having many restless nights, and would wake whenever a car passed by in the night. We were desperate, sleep deprived. When we contacted westcoast sound solutions, they assured us that they will be able to fix the problem. They insulated our walls with special materials and added another layer of window to our existing bedroom window. I couldn't believe the impact it had, the noise coming from the street reduced by 80-90%! Since then, we have been sleeping soundly, I feel healthier and refreshed in the morning. We barely hear the noise outside, our home finally feels like a sanctuary. read more

Elad and his crew were an absolute pleasure to work with, from beginning to end. They took the time to explain our options and help us understand how to get the best solution possible. Not only is the end result amazing (incredible sound proofing) but his team worked around old problems and made our house better than before. I'd recommend West Coast Sound Solutions to anyone, not only for soundproofing, but for any sort of contractor work, they are great! read more
