Herbertsville, Breton Woods and Lake Riviera filled in fast during Brick's 1950s-to-1980s building boom, and plenty of those ranch and Cape Cod attics were finished to that decade's standards rather than today's. Today's guidance calls for considerably more insulation than that around here, and closing the gap starts with sealing the plumbing stacks and can-light penetrations before new insulation goes down over the old batts.

Squirrels chew wiring and tear up insulation once they get into an attic. We remove them and close the entry points.
Squirrel Removal →A raccoon can wreck attic insulation and ductwork in weeks and leave dangerous droppings behind. Safe removal plus repair of the damage.
Raccoon Removal →Bats roost in quiet attic corners and their droppings contaminate everything below. Humane exclusion plus full cleanup.
Bat Removal →Mice squeeze in through gaps the width of a pencil, nest in the insulation and leave droppings across the attic floor. Removal, then sealing the gaps so they stay out.
Attic Mice Removal →Wildlife tears openings where the roof meets the walls, and every gap is an open door. We seal the entry points and repair the damage.
Rodent Proofing →Thin, patchy insulation lets heated and cooled air escape into the attic all year. Upgrading it cuts energy bills.
Attic Insulation →Moisture in the crawl space feeds mold and rots the framing under your floor. Encapsulation seals out the damp ground air.
Crawl Space Encapsulation →New batts fill every joist bay edge to edge, so heated and cooled air stays in the rooms below instead of bleeding into the attic. Lower bills, even temperatures.
Attic Insulation →A vented ridge lets hot, moist air escape at the peak while baffles keep the soffit intake open. Balanced airflow protects the roof deck and keeps the new insulation dry.
Attic Ventilation →The roofline gap the wildlife used is sealed with rodent-proof mesh and sealant, along with every other opening we found. Nothing gets back in.
Rodent Proofing →Droppings, nesting debris and the contaminated insulation are gone, and the framing is treated so odors and bacteria do not linger in the air you breathe.
Attic Cleanup →A sealed vapor barrier covers the ground and walls, so damp soil air can no longer feed mold or rot the floor framing above it.

What changed
Brick Township's population exploded once the Garden State Parkway reached it in the 1950s, filling Herbertsville, Lake Riviera and Laurelton with ranches and capes within a generation, while the lagoon streets along Barnegat Bay kept growing on dredged land into the 1970s. Both patterns left attics and crawl spaces built to standards the shore has long outgrown.
Attics in Herbertsville, Lake Riviera and Laurelton mostly date to the 1950s through the 1970s, decades before the region's current attic guidance was written.
Lagoon neighborhoods like Baywood and Cherry Quay sit on filled land only a few feet above the water table, so vented crawl spaces pull in brackish, salt-heavy humidity all summer.
Tree cover around Herbertsville and Lake Riviera puts squirrels and raccoons on the roof, and salt air has loosened enough soffit seams on older lagoon cottages for mice to slip through too.
Coastal storms stack over Barnegat Bay and drive rain and wet snow sideways into ridge and soffit vents, and a leaky attic gives that wind-driven moisture somewhere to collect.

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.

In the older lagoon cottages near Baywood and Cherry Quay, decades of salt air have opened similar gaps that let mice in instead. Either way the giveaway is the same: noise around dawn or dusk, droppings on the joists, and nest pockets torn into the insulation.
Yes, particularly in older cottages near the lagoons where roof vents and soffit returns have widened over the decades. Bats roost in small colonies instead of nesting, so guano collecting in one corner of the attic, without the chewed wood a squirrel leaves behind, is usually the giveaway. We wait until the colony has safely left the roost, then seal the entry point and sanitize the space.
Crawl spaces are far more common than full basements across Brick, especially close to the bay, the river and the lagoon streets, where the water table sits only a few feet down. Where a basement does exist, it's usually further inland on higher ground. Either way, moisture control below the floor matters just as much as insulation depth in the attic.
Brick is JCP&L territory. Insulation and air sealing rebates come and go through the statewide NJ Clean Energy Program from one funding cycle to the next, so we'll flag whatever's currently active when we're out for your free estimate.
The insulation depth recommended for Ocean County attics today is well beyond what most houses here started with, and pinning down the right depth for a specific attic is part of what the inspection covers. The ranch and Cape Cod attics we get into around Herbertsville and Lake Riviera still sit near whatever depth they were built with back in the 1950s and 60s.
Homes in Baywood, Cherry Quay and Midstreams sit on filled land close to a tidal water table, so a vented crawl space pulls in brackish, humid air with every high tide. That moisture works into the insulation and framing and can carry a musty smell up into the rooms above. A sealed vapor barrier closes the crawl space off from both the ground and the vents.
A single-story ranch or Cape Cod attic in Brick tends to be a quicker project once access is open, since the framing is simpler than a two-story colonial's. Crawl space encapsulation on a lagoon lot often takes more time, because the old insulation and a worn vapor barrier have to be cleared out first. We'll put the schedule in writing before your project starts.
