Lee is exceptionally knowledgeable, responsive, and a joy to work with. When my landlord installed hardwood floors in the apartment above me, Lee came and prepared an excellent report detailing a number of construction options, which helped reduce the noise significantly, and hes continued to provide helpful advice since. He is a wealth of information and extremely pragmatic at getting results.
Lee is a master craftsman. He fixed a problem Ive had for years in the control room of my home studio. He quoted a bit more for an initial site visit than some of the other people I contacted which I initially found off-putting. But he had a good bedside manner on the phone, and sounded extremely knowledgeable and I came away feeling actually rather reassured by his pricing.I learned a lot when he came by and I was a bit surprised that I hadnt known some of these things already. Im a pretty good audio engineer but well... lets just say, I was very pleased to be the beneficiary of someone who is as enthusiastic about structural engineering as myself. We settled on a design fairly quickly, and when it came to the actual construction, I found his quote for the entire project to be more than fair.
Do NOT use bay area noise control. This company is led by an absolute con artist who charges exorbitant premiums for consultation fees ($450 for a consultation fee??), gives useless advice during said consultation, and then disappears. I dont believe that Lee takes consultations in good faith (i.e. hes just collecting a check with no intention of following up), and compared to what the rest of the market charges hes totally out of touch.This guy is a ripoff and I deeply regret that we used him for a consultation. I talked to 4 other soundproofing outfits (sadly, Lee was the first that we met with), and all of them charged between $0 and $150 for a consultation. Furthermore, all of them followed up with a quote and statement of work after - Lee did none of these things. Save yourself the headache, and go elsewhere. This con artist wont be helpful to you, but he will rip you off.Btw - the guy below, Lee Brenner is the owner of said business. Hes writing a 5 star review for his own business. If you ever needed more validation of a fraud......Save yourself the headache. Find another contractor.
Lee was extremely helpful in helping me locate a repair person for an old soundproofing window that was broken. He was not going to profit from helping me he just went out of his way to send me to the right repair person. I hope i have a reason to use his soundproofing services. Above and beyond.
Super friendly and very knowledgeable.
Were very happy with Bay Area Noise Controls work. We needed special soundproof windows and doors to keep our dog from going crazy with airplanes and leaf blowers all day long! Everything is peaceful now, great job!
Company’s local and national phone number does not work. Their website’s link to their email address continues to error whenever I try to access it. How am I supposed to contact this company?
They helped me with a sound control project on my four-plex near the beach. I have another four-plex and called them again for a consult.
This guys are idiots. Plain and simple.
They know their stuff!
Great
