Bridgeton's historic district holds close to 2,200 buildings raised between the Federal era and the 1920s, Georgian, Greek Revival and Victorian construction where the attic framing predates insulation as a building practice entirely. Outside that core, Hillside and Southside carry bungalows and ranches from the early to mid-1900s with old fiberglass batts. Either way, Cumberland County's current guidance calls for considerably more insulation than either era started with.

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.
Crawl Space Encapsulation →What is going wrong here
What changed
Bridgeton carries one of New Jersey's largest historic districts, close to 2,200 buildings raised between the Federal era and the 1920s, and Hillside and Southside add bungalows and ranches from the decades after. Almost none of that stock was built to a modern insulation standard, which is most of what drives our work here.
Close to 2,200 historic-district buildings went up between the Federal era and the 1920s, before attic insulation was standard, and Hillside's postwar ranches added only a single thin layer of batts when they were built.
The Cohansey River's tidal reach keeps the ground under the historic district's stone and brick foundations damp year-round, the same low terrain that flooded downtown in 1934.
Nineteenth-century balloon framing leaves an open channel from foundation to attic, and aging cornices on the district's Victorian trim give squirrels, raccoons and bats a way onto the roofline.
South Jersey winters here cross the freezing mark repeatedly, and warm air leaking into an old attic melts snow unevenly enough to build ice dams at the eaves.

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.

Most attics we open in Bridgeton, whether it's a downtown rowhouse from the historic district or a Hillside ranch from the 1950s, come in well under that standard, some on framing that has never carried insulation at all.
Most of the year, yes. The Cohansey's tidal reach keeps the water table high under downtown, and the stone or brick foundations there draw that dampness into the cellar or crawl space no matter the season. Encapsulation seals the ground and walls behind a heavy vapor barrier, which is what keeps that moisture from sagging insulation or reaching the floor framing above.
Bridgeton draws its power from Atlantic City Electric, and the NJ Clean Energy Program layers statewide rebates for insulation and air sealing on top of that. Offerings change, so ask what's currently available when we come out for your free estimate.
They do, more often in the historic district's oldest structures than in newer construction. Bats favor the same gaps in aging cornices and soffits that squirrels and raccoons use, and a colony leaves droppings and a sharp ammonia smell along the roofline. Removal is exclusion work, sealing every opening, clearing out contaminated insulation and sanitizing the space, never baiting or trapping.
Scratching or thumping overhead at dawn and dusk, droppings along the joists, chewed wiring and insulation torn into a nesting pile. In the historic district, entry is almost always through an aging cornice or soffit gap on the Victorian trim rather than at ground level, since balloon framing gives wildlife a straight path from the foundation to the roofline.
A straightforward Hillside or Southside ranch is generally the quicker job on the schedule. Rowhouses and doubles inside the historic district tend to take longer, since their attics are tighter and often need the old insulation stripped out or a rodent contamination cleaned up first. You'll get the exact schedule in writing with your estimate.

No. Everything happens inside the attic, at the rafters, top plates and chimney chase, so the facade, trim and roofline stay untouched. The view from the street stays exactly as the district expects it to be; the only thing that changes is how much material sits over your ceilings.
Insulation is not just for winter. Here is how the right insulation level keeps summer heat out of your rooms and your cooling bills in check.
