What to know about Soundproofing
Soundproofing reduces the noise that travels between rooms, floors and homes: voices and television through a shared wall, footsteps from the unit above, a furnace or laundry room next to a bedroom. In Canadian cities, where many people live in semi-detached and row houses, duplexes, triplexes and condos, noise from the neighbours is often what prompts the call to a contractor.

St. John's is the principal city of a wider area we list under the name St. John's Region, which takes in 1 other places. A pro's service area might be St. John's on its own or the whole of it — we match on the one they gave us.
St. John's publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in Newfoundland and Labrador. Whether soundproofing needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.
Our Newfoundland and Labrador guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.
Soundproofing costs in St. John's
Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:
- Area to insulate: attic, walls, basement or crawl space
- Type of insulation
- Removal of old insulation
- Air sealing work
- Access to the space
- Ventilation changes
How to choose soundproofing contractors in St. John's
- Choose a contractor who talks about air sealing and ventilation, not only adding more insulation.
- Ask them to check the attic or walls for moisture, mould, old wiring or insulation that may contain asbestos before starting.
- Get a written quote that states the type of insulation, the areas covered and the target insulation level.
- For spray foam, ask about their training, curing time and when it's safe to be back in the home.
- Consider an energy audit before and after the work to see where heat is being lost.
Questions to ask soundproofing contractors before you hire
- What type of insulation do you recommend for this area, and why?
- Will you seal air leaks before insulating?
- How will you keep the attic properly ventilated?
- What will you do if you find old insulation that may contain asbestos, mould or old wiring?
- For spray foam, how long do we need to stay out of the house?
- Does this work need a permit or an inspection?
Soundproofing permits in St. John's
Some soundproofing work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common soundproofing questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
