An Edison attic collects more than insulation over the years, holiday boxes, an old bike, forgotten furniture, all working alongside decades of dust and settled debris on the floor. A cleanup clears that out first so the crew can actually see the joists, the wiring and the insulation underneath, which matters most in the older capes and colonials where nobody has been up there in a long time.
Where squirrels, raccoons or mice have been active, the cleanup takes on droppings, chewed material and whatever they carried in to nest with, and that gets bagged out along with anything else that cannot stay. Old or damaged insulation comes out too when it is holding onto that contamination, and the crew finishes by disinfecting the floor rather than leaving it to air out on its own.
A finished cleanup leaves an Edison attic clear enough to store things safely again, or ready for new insulation if that is the next step. Either way, the crew walks the space with you before starting, points out anything they find along the way, and puts the full scope in a free, written estimate so there is nothing left to guess about once the work begins.
Six services that often round out a full attic cleanup in Edison, each starting with its own free inspection.
The four things a cleanup crew runs into most often in Edison attics.
Edison attics that have served as extra storage since the 1950s and 60s tend to have boxes, old furniture and holiday decorations sitting directly on top of insulation that was already thin to begin with, and none of it gets touched until the cleanup starts.
Squirrels and raccoons working through the older trim near Clara Barton and Menlo Park leave behind more than noise, shredded insulation, droppings and the smell that comes with an active nest, all of which the cleanup has to deal with before anything else.
A dusty, poorly ventilated Edison attic can pull stale, musty air right down into the rooms below it, and homeowners often notice the smell in the house before they ever go up and see the attic floor for themselves.
Many Edison attics, especially in the older capes, only have plywood decking over part of the joists, so moving around safely to clean and haul material out takes more care than in a fully floored newer attic in North Edison.
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.
It starts with clearing out debris and anything stored up there, then moves to the attic floor itself, dust, droppings, chewed material, whatever is on it. If old insulation is contaminated or falling apart, that comes out too. The last steps are sanitizing wherever animals were active and a final walk-through to confirm the attic is actually clean, not just tidier than before.
It varies more than people expect. A lightly used Edison attic with a few boxes and some dust moves along quickly. One that has had rodents in it, or years of storage nobody has sorted through, takes longer to clear and sanitize properly. The actual schedule for your attic is spelled out in the written estimate, once the crew has seen it.
Attic cleanup on its own is not usually the piece a utility rebate targets, that tends to be the insulation and air sealing that follows it. Since Edison runs on PSE&G power, if your cleanup turns into an insulation upgrade we will check what New Jersey's efficiency programs are covering at that point and let you know.
Not necessarily, but it depends what is under the boxes. A lot of what gets stored up there sits directly on the insulation for years, which can compress it or trap moisture underneath without anyone noticing. A cleanup gives us a chance to check the attic floor while everything is cleared out, which is worth doing even without an animal problem.
We look for signs that squirrels, raccoons or mice have actually nested there: droppings, urine staining, shredded insulation or a smell that does not go away with airflow alone. If we find any of that, sanitizing is part of the recommendation. A dusty attic with no animal history usually just needs a thorough clean, without the extra sanitizing step.
It can often stay, provided it is dry and shows no sign that anything has denned in it. We pull it when it is holding onto contamination the cleaning alone will not remove, water damage, droppings, or matting that has compressed it flat. In many older Edison attics that decision gets made on the spot once the crew can actually see the floor.
We do, throughout Middlesex County. Metuchen is essentially surrounded by Edison on all sides and gets the same attention, and crews are just as regularly working in Piscataway, South Plainfield, New Brunswick, Highland Park and Woodbridge. That coverage does not change by season or by how far a property sits from Edison's own borders, the same cleanup crew and the same free inspection apply everywhere in the county.
We contain the work area and cover the path to the attic entrance first, which keeps dust and debris from spreading into the living space while the crew works. Most Edison attics have their own separate access, an interior hatch or a pull-down stair, so the cleanup stays contained to that one part of the house.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
