The two things nearly every Bergenfield attic cleanup deals with are old insulation that has sat under decades of storage until it is matted and no longer doing its job, and the droppings, nesting debris and general contamination left behind once a squirrel or raccoon has gotten in through a worn soffit. A box packed away long enough is exactly the kind of thing wildlife nests in without anyone downstairs noticing. We clear, sweep and inspect the space in either case before saying anything about the insulation underneath it.
The route to the attic hatch gets protected first so dust stays put, then the floor is cleared of stored items and loose debris, including the kneewall pockets on a half-story cape that a quick look tends to bypass entirely. Any insulation too soiled, matted or contaminated to leave behind comes out at the same point, and a family-safe sanitizing pass follows whenever there is a history of wildlife in the space. Only once the floor is genuinely clear do we talk about whether the insulation itself needs anything beyond what is already there.
Every cleanup ends with a free estimate in writing, spelling out what turned up and what the job actually requires, whether that is a short sweep of a smaller cape attic or clearing a colonial that has held decades of accumulated storage since the borough's growth years. No two attics we open around town look the same underneath the boxes.
Related work that shows up once we are already inside a Bergenfield attic clearing it out.
Four conditions that account for most of the cleanup work we do around the borough.
Capes and colonials that went up during Bergenfield's fastest growth years have often held the same decorations and boxes since the family moved in, with nobody checking what is happening to the insulation buried underneath.
A mature tree canopy near Cooper's Pond gives squirrels and raccoons a short climb onto an older roofline, and once they are in, a cleanup in that part of the borough regularly turns up nesting scraps and droppings worked right into whatever was being stored.
It is easy to shove boxes into the shallow pocket behind a cape's kneewalls and forget about them entirely, which is exactly why that side space tends to hold the oldest, most contaminated material in the whole attic.
An attic that does not vent well traps warm, moist air rising from the rooms below, and paper or cardboard sitting in that environment can turn damp and musty without any actual roof leak involved.
Better insulation. Sealed gaps. Cleaner air. Lower bills.

Master Attic did a phenomenal job with our attic insulation and duct replacement. We had a loss from smoke damage from a neighboring fire and we were met with compassion and excellent customer service from Danny Jones and Jorge Diaz. We chose them for their quality of work, expertise and fair pricing and they got the job done promptly. Thank you for the excellent work and we will be recommending you highly!
We just had our attic insulation replaced, and the entire experience was pleasant from start to finish. Robert is knowledgeable, honest and easy to work with at the initial estimate period. Roberta and his crew did a great job replacing the attic insulation for our house. They were very professional, efficient and respectful. They did everything that needed to be done and left the space clean and in excellent condition. I am very happy that I chose Master Attic and would highly recommend them.
Dan Jones and the Ronald crew did a great job from start to finish! I had original insulation in my attic with no electricity, not an easy job. Our upstairs was very hot in the summer and cold in winter. With having central air, we still needed AC units and space heaters to manage. Dan set up a great plan to eliminate that. He and his crew were able to come and finish the job shortly after we first met. They were quick, clean and managed to crawl into small spaces to remove old insulation and install fresh insulation. We have already noticed a major difference! Highly recommended!!
We hired Master Attic to clean out debris, mice, old insulation, and replace with new insulation in both our attic spaces. Roberto and his crew did a phenomenal job. They were extremely professional, polite, and did a fantastic job. They invited my husband to see the attic after each step, and took pictures on their phone to show me since I could not get up in the attic. They took the time to protect the space with plastic sheeting before the job up in the attic, and then cleaned up everything perfectly afterwards. I highly recommend them!
Great job by the team. Cleaned out the entire attic and replaced all the old insulation with new fresh insulation. Made a huge difference. Alex was great to work with and was very professional. Would highly recommend.
Awesome experience from start to finish. Rob provided a great assessment and capabilities overview, arrived on time and was very generous and thorough in explaining the work. I signed on the spot. A crew of six arrived (again, on time) and completely transformed our attic space - thoroughly cleaned out the old insulation (looked spotless afterwards), sanitized the space, sealed it/rodent proofed it, added baffles and of course, replaced the insulation and added more in areas that needed it. Completed the whole job in half a day and we are delighted with the result. Thank you, Master Attic team, for a job very well done! Highest recommendation.
What a great experience I had with this company and its employees. It started with initially interacting with Joe who came out for the estimate. He was funny because he came down from my attic and said "have you seen up there". I laughed because I had and I knew it was bad. He was no pressure and no nonsense. Gave me an estimate and said if I wanted we could have the work done next day. I wasn't ready for that but after some schedule juggling I told him we could be ready. Joe had his guys out next morning with the best part being Jorge calling me to advise he was about thirty minutes out. I appreciate when I am given a heads up as to ETA. Three of them arrived Jorge set out plastic and covered exposed furniture. Jorge, Angel and Gonzalo were all polite and worked hard to complete the task. They worked efficiently and were done quickly. Jorge made sure he included me in each step of the process and when I saw the finished product I was amazed. I can actually use my attic for storage if I choose to do so. I did not realize when they were here that they also do work on crawlspace areas. I will be calling them back to see what they can do for my crawlspace which easily rivals the diasaster called my attic. I recommend at least giving this company and its employees an opportunity to help you.
Great company to work with. From beginning to end, Dan came out, spent plenty of time with me going over everything that needed to be done, and the process of everything that needed to be updated it both attics. His professionalism was top notch, answered all my question and concerns. When it came time for George and his six-man crew to do the work their quality of workmanship was well above average, they were here the whole day, and I don't think they even had a lunch break (hopefully I don't get him in trouble). They all worked and everyone knew what their job was, they removed all the insulation, cleaned, spray foamed all holes and top plates, re-insulated both attics and cleaned up like they weren't even here. Will definitely use them again.
Master Attic remediated a bat issue for us back in October and I can’t say enough about what a wonderful job they did. The work was guaranteed and they encouraged us to call if we say any further evidence of bats. Well, there were a few droppings in the attic and they quickly responded to our concerns. Jose’s crew came out on a SUNDAY, inspected the attic, and sealed up several spots that could be entry points. They were professional, efficient, and kind. I would highly recommend them. You will not be disappointed.
Dust containment goes up along the hatch path before anything else happens. From there we clear stored items and debris, pull whatever insulation is too far gone to keep, and sanitize if the history includes wildlife. All of that is laid out in a free estimate first, so there are no surprises once work starts.
The volume of stored material sitting up there, and whether the insulation underneath also has to come out, are the two things that move the timeline the most. A cape with a light layer of storage clears fast; a colonial that has been a dumping ground for decades takes real work. Your specific schedule lands in the written estimate.
On its own, no, cleanup does not typically draw NJ Clean Energy Program money. Insulation or air sealing tacked onto the same appointment sometimes does, since Bergenfield sits in PSE&G territory. What is actually funded at any given time is worth confirming directly with us when we are out for the estimate.
It can be, as long as the roofline stays sealed and no wildlife has gotten in. Older soffit gaps and kneewall pockets on capes and colonials make that a harder promise to keep than it is in newer construction, which is exactly why boxes untouched for years are worth a second look.
Only if it needs to. Moisture, matting and wildlife contamination are what we look for during the walk-through, and insulation that has simply aged without any of those problems can usually stay right where it is. Anything wet, soiled or nested in gets pulled at the same time, since leaving it just hides the underlying issue.
Usually yes, if the existing material is soiled or hiding gaps that still need sealing. New insulation goes over a clean, sealed floor, so cleanup or removal typically comes first, either folded into the same appointment or scheduled as its own step.
Yes, cleanup calls take us into Cresskill, New Milford, Tenafly, Dumont, Teaneck and Englewood about as often as into Bergenfield itself, since it is all one Bergen County coverage area for us. We do not treat the borough line as a boundary for who gets a crew and who does not.
Just make sure the hatch is reachable and nothing breakable is sitting right underneath it. Everything else, the plastic sheeting, the vacuum gear, is on the truck already, and the crew will walk you through what they find before anyone starts pulling material.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
