Asked them about getting acoustics consulting for my house. They told me they typically do not do residential, but offered to give me a little advice over the phone. Even though they didn't provide the acoustics service, I thought that was pretty nice of them to try to help as much as they could.

I have worked with Greenbusch for over 5 years. Through that time, I have found staff and management personnel to be approachable, professional and solution-oriented. Solid technical and analytical skills were an expectation from the start, and they have consistently met those expectations. Where I've been surprised is their willingness to be flexible, as is required when supporting construction projects.
When timelines and contractor plans change, they adjust accordingly with an attitude that assures me that they are happy to help. In addition, Greenbusch analysts have supported my projects by explaining complicated and highly technical aspects of sound to project managers and project staff. They are professional when they engage with agency representatives and regulators, and they inspire confidence. I want these guys on my team again.

I have been working with Greenbusch on various projects for the past fifteen years - they are hands down the best acoustical engineers I've ever known. I trust Julie Wiebusch - whatever she tells us to do, we do. Excellent results!
