Ten homes near Boca Airport receive sound-deadening work

Work has just been completed on the first 10 homes to receive new doors, windows and, in some cases, attic insulation, as part of the Boca Raton Airport’s QuieterHome Program.
Airport Manager Ken Day told the Boca Raton News that the effort – Phase 1 of a two-part program – went so well that the agency will advertise July 1 for contractors looking to take part in the second phase – which involves 35 homes.
He said bids will be opened Aug. 15.
Day said the Boca Raton Airport Authority gave Phase II the go-ahead at its meeting last week.
QuieterHome is 95 percent funded by the federal government, he said; 2.5 percent by the state and 2.5 percent by the authority. C&S Engineers Inc. is overseeing the work.
The first 10 homes done are in the area of highest aircraft noise exposure. The Federal Aviation Administration establishes guidelines to reduce the interior noise levels in the affected homes. The target noise level for the interior of living areas in a home is 45 decibels, the firm said.
Day said the 10 homes in group 1 got new windows, doors, heating and cooling systems, ductwork and electrical systems. The average cost the work was $85,000 to $95,000 per home, said Day.
