City Soundproofing works across Scarborough, from condominiums near Scarborough Town Centre and Kennedy Station to bungalows, semis and split-levels in Agincourt, Malvern and Guildwood. We design wall, ceiling and floor solutions after identifying how noise is travelling, so the money goes into the paths that matter.
Speech, television and footsteps pass through the ceiling and down the stairwell. A ceiling upgrade with added mass and decoupling, plus a treated stairwell, is the usual starting point.
Basement soundproofing →Party walls vary a great deal in what is inside them. Adding mass and an isolated layer is usually the first step, and flanking paths through floors and ceilings are checked as well.
Wall soundproofing →In mid-rise and high-rise buildings the main complaints are footsteps and voices through shared floors and walls. We work from inside the suite after confirming the corporation's rules.
Condo soundproofing →Highways, major roads and rail lines produce low-frequency noise that passes through windows and exterior walls. We assess the envelope first and recommend only what will make a measurable difference.
Residential soundproofing →Scarborough has a large stock of mid-century bungalows, semis and split-level houses, many with finished basements and some with separate basement apartments. Higher-density condominiums have grown up around Scarborough Town Centre and the transit corridors, while Highway 401, Kingston Road and the GO Lakeshore East and Stouffville lines run through the district. In all of these, the practical question is the same: which surfaces are carrying the noise?
Scarborough houses from the post-war decades often have lightweight floor assemblies, open joist bays and hollow walls, so footsteps and voices carry more easily than in newer construction. Checking what is inside the walls and ceilings before specifying work avoids paying for upgrades that will not help.
These are the services most often needed in Scarborough. Each links to the full service page.

Yes. Adding mass and decoupling to the ceiling reduces both voices and footsteps from the floor above. We also look at the stairwell, ductwork and any shared walls, because sound will use whichever path is weakest.
It can reduce it substantially, but no wall treatment stops everything, because sound also travels through floors, ceilings and shared structure. We identify these flanking paths during the assessment so the quote covers what is needed for a real improvement.
Yes. We work in condominiums, offices and light-industrial units across Scarborough. Condo work follows the corporation's rules on notice and working hours, and commercial work is planned around the building's use and operating hours so that the space can keep running while the work is carried out.
Tell us about the noise and the building. We will explain what is likely to work and what is not.
