The capes and splits that filled Clara Barton and Menlo Park during the 1950s boom mostly hold the same thin batts installed at construction, and North Edison's 1970s and 80s colonials fare only a little better against current guidance. Sealing air leaks at the top plates and duct chases before blowing in fresh insulation up to today's standard covers both eras.

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
Edison's population nearly tripled in a single decade during the 1950s, then kept building through the 1970s and 80s as North Edison filled in. That layered growth means the township carries three real construction eras side by side, capes and splits, colonials, and newer additions, each holding a different amount of original insulation.
Edison's 1950s capes, 1970s-80s colonials and North Edison's newer sections each shipped with the insulation standards of their decade, most well under what current guidance calls for today.
Split-level homes near Metropark often pair a crawl space with a finished basement, and humid summer air through the vents settles right against the framing next door.
Mature trees in older sections like Clara Barton and Menlo Park put squirrels and raccoons at the eaves, where decades of weathered soffit give them a route inside.
Central Jersey winters swing across the freeze line all season, and an attic leaking warm air melts snow unevenly enough to build ice along the eaves township-wide.

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 Edison attics we open, especially the capes and splits from the 1950s and 60s building boom, are running far thinner than what is called for because nobody has touched the original batts since the house went up. The inspection is what pins down the exact number for your attic.
Yes, because that crawl space is usually the weak point builders left unfinished. It pulls in humid summer air through the vents while the basement next to it stays conditioned and dry, so insulation sags and musty air works its way upstairs. A sealed vapor barrier over the ground and walls seals off that moisture without touching the finished side.
Edison is PSE&G territory. Statewide, the NJ Clean Energy Program rotates rebates for insulation and air sealing through its budget cycles, so the most reliable answer is whatever is active when we come out for your estimate, and we will flag it if you qualify.
Often, yes. Builders in that era met the code of the day, which was a lower bar than what is expected now, and details like baffle vents or a radiant barrier are frequently missing or installed poorly. A newer North Edison house usually needs less removal work than a 1950s cape, but it can still fall short on insulation depth and air sealing.
Listen for scratching or scurrying at dawn and dusk, and check the insulation for shredded nesting pockets, droppings along the joists, and chewed wiring. In older sections like Clara Barton and Menlo Park, mature trees put squirrels and raccoons right at the roofline, where seventy-year-old soffits have widened into real gaps over time.
A straightforward blown-in job in a colonial attic moves along quickly once the crew is set up. Edison split-levels have tighter attic access, and pulling out old insulation or cleaning up after rodent damage adds real time on top of that. Your written estimate spells out the actual schedule for your house, not a generic number.
Yes, all of Middlesex County. Around Edison specifically that includes Metuchen, which sits entirely inside the township's borders, plus Woodbridge, Piscataway, Highland Park, New Brunswick and South Plainfield, where our crews are already working regularly.
In most cases, yes, because the dam starts inside the house: warm air escaping the living space melts the underside of the snow while the eaves stay frozen, and the runoff refreezes at the edge. Once the top plates and duct chases stop leaking that warm air, the roof stays evenly cold and the cycle has nothing to feed it.
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.
