The rising cost of Detached Housing in California.
Condo Conversions are becoming very big business in California.
SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) September 4, 2005 -- With the cost of new detached homes in California at record highs and Condo's, Townhomes and Duplexes not far behind, Condo/ Apartment conversions are becoming a large part of the construction industry here in San Diego as well as around the entire country the country.
When looking at the condo conversion option, there are many factors to consider that you usually would not need to consider when buying a single family detached home. One of the biggest factors is sound isolation from the adjoining units and most of all sound isolation from the unit above.
Soundproofing should always be a high priority during construction or renovation of any unit that will have shered walls and ceilings. There is nothing worse than paying $400,000 for a condo conversion and finding out that that you can hear every step that the people upstairs make and even hear their voices and TV's. It is almost like they are in your unit. This plays havoc with your sleep as well and what is worse is that they can generally hear you and everything your family does.
During construction or renovation is always the best time to consider soundproofing and sound isolation. When a condo is being renovated you can get to bare piping and duct work. This is the absolute best time to soundproof these areas, just before the sheetrock goes up.
