No two Edison attics get the same recommendation sight unseen. A colonial with open joist bays, a split-level with a cramped attic hatch near Nixon or Oak Tree, and a newer build in North Edison each call for a different mix of depth, air sealing and ventilation work, so someone from our crew looks at the actual attic before any of that gets decided.
Sealing is the part that gets skipped when homeowners try to handle this themselves, yet it decides whether the rest of the job actually works. Gaps around the flue, the plumbing stack, wiring penetrations and the pull-down stair all get closed before a single bag of insulation goes in, and channels at the rafter tails keep the soffit vents breathing once the new depth is down.
Which material goes down depends on the attic's shape as much as its size. Loose fill handles an open colonial floor in a fraction of the time batts would take, while the tight knee walls of an Edison split-level often call for cut-to-fit batts instead. Anything soaked, flattened or carrying old rodent activity gets pulled and hauled off before new material touches the floor, and every recommendation arrives as a free, written estimate, never a number guessed over the phone.
Six pieces of the job, each covered in the same free inspection before any material moves.
The four conditions that bring most Edison attic insulation calls in the door.
Edison's 1950s capes and the colonials that followed through the 1970s and 80s each went up with the standard of their decade, and most of that original material has sat untouched since, leaving most attics noticeably behind what today's energy guidance actually calls for.
Squirrels and raccoons reach an Edison roofline by climbing the mature trees over Clara Barton and Menlo Park, and enough seasons of weathering has opened the old soffit and fascia trim there into real openings. Once one gets through, the insulation underneath is where it dens down, which is why we check for nesting on every attic insulation visit.
When an Edison attic cannot breathe properly, warm moist air drifting up from the rooms below has nowhere to vent and instead settles onto the framing and into whatever insulation is already there, quietly undermining the very depth that is supposed to be holding heat back.
A colonial attic in Edison usually opens into a full standing area, but the attic over a split-level near Nixon or Oak Tree is often just a crawl-height pocket tucked over one wing of the house, and reaching every corner of it takes a different approach with the hose and the depth gauge both.
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.
Every Edison job starts with someone actually standing in the attic, not a number given over the phone. We check current insulation depth, look for drafts around plumbing stacks and wiring penetrations, check the ventilation, and note any sign of rodent activity before recommending anything, whether that attic sits over a cape in Clara Barton or a newer build in North Edison.
Mostly what the crew finds once the attic is open. Blowing fresh material over sound existing insulation moves along quickly. Removing wet or rodent-damaged material first, or working through the cramped access of a split-level attic near Nixon or Oak Tree, adds real time. That is exactly why the actual schedule shows up in the written estimate rather than a number given sight unseen.
Rebates for insulation work move through PSE&G and the state's efficiency programs on their own schedule, not ours, so quoting a specific figure here would likely be out of date by the time you read it. Bring it up when we are out at your Edison address, and we will confirm whatever happens to be active that week.
Often, yes. A lot of Edison attics call for both: loose fill across the open floor and batts tucked into the knee walls or sloped sections where blown material will not sit still. We do not default to one type for the whole job, the layout of that specific attic decides which goes where.
Sometimes that is exactly the right call, especially over dry batts that were installed correctly and have nothing living in them. What changes the answer is condition, not age alone: material that has been soaked, flattened by foot traffic, or used as a nest gets pulled first, since piling new insulation over a problem just hides it for a while.
Yes, in most Edison attics it matters more. A thick layer of insulation does little good if warm air keeps escaping past it through the top plates, the attic hatch or the gaps around wiring and duct chases. We seal those points first in every job, which is especially important in the older capes near Menlo Park where those penetrations have never been touched since the house was built.
We do, across all of Middlesex County. That includes Metuchen, which the township surrounds entirely, plus the neighboring communities of South Plainfield, Piscataway and New Brunswick, along with Highland Park and Woodbridge a little further out. Crews working in Edison on any given week are usually covering one or two of those towns as well, running the same insulation and air sealing work described here.
It helps most when paired with air sealing. Ice dams start with heat, not the roof itself: when conditioned air works its way through gaps in the attic floor, it warms the roof deck unevenly, the snow directly above those leaks softens and runs down to the still-frozen eave, where it refreezes into a ridge of ice. Closing those leaks and bringing the depth up to a reasonable standard cuts off the warmth that keeps the cycle going.
