Is $13,000 to add green glue and quiet rock 530 drywall to existing drywall on all three levels a fair price?
Project Details
We just moved into a newly renovated end unit townhouse. There is a cinderblock party wall between the units that was built in 1955 and wasn't touched. They put up new drywall that is standard 1/2 drywall. We're getting more noise transfer through the wall than we would like. We can hear the tv pretty clearly since I believe it's direct mounted to their wall, and music less so when they have it on. We can also hear them walking up the stairs and closing cabinets in their kitchen occasionally but that's less of a concern.
