Freehold Borough's Victorian frame houses near the courthouse and the Broad Street and Peach Orchard districts date to the late 1800s and early 1900s, many balloon-framed with little insulation between the attic and the walls. The ranches and colonials that filled East Freehold and West Freehold from the 1950s through the 1990s carry standard builder-grade batts, both well below what New Jersey now recommends for this part of the state.

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
Freehold is really two towns sharing one name: the compact Monmouth County seat built out around its 1715 courthouse in the Victorian era, and the surrounding township that filled with ranches, split-levels and colonials from the 1950s through the 1990s. Both eras left attics and crawl spaces short of what current guidance now expects.
Borough Victorians from the 1800s and township colonials from the 1950s through the 1990s both sit under the level this part of New Jersey now recommends for attics.
Monmouth County's clay-heavy ground stays wet through freeze-thaw winters, and crawl spaces under the township's ranches and colonials pull that dampness straight into the framing above.
Mature trees along the borough's historic streets and wooded township lots near Georgia and Stonehurst put squirrels and raccoons at roof level, where aging soffits give them a route to the attic.
Monmouth County winters swing across the freezing mark for weeks at a stretch, and roof snow over a leaky attic thaws from below until ice ridges lock up along 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.

We treat Freehold as both places, the one-square-mile borough around the county courthouse and the township that surrounds it on every side. A downtown Victorian and a Stonehurst or East Freehold colonial get the same free inspection, the same written estimate and the same crew, just different attics to work with.
Thumping or scratching around dawn and dusk, droppings scattered along the joists, chewed wiring, and insulation torn into a nesting pile. Freehold Borough's mature street trees put animals right at roof height downtown, and the balloon framing in many Victorian houses gives them an open path once past the soffit. Township attics see the same activity wherever tree cover reaches the roofline.
A township colonial or split-level with clear attic access typically wraps up in a single visit. The tighter, balloon-framed attics in the borough's Victorian houses downtown can take longer, especially if old insulation has to come out first or wildlife left a mess behind. Your written estimate spells out the schedule for your specific house before work begins.
All of Monmouth County, including Manalapan, Marlboro, Colts Neck, Howell and Millstone Township right around Freehold, plus Jackson across the Ocean County line. Our crews are already working this stretch of central New Jersey every week for both attic and crawl space projects.
Freehold sits in the part of New Jersey where current guidance for an unfinished attic calls for a good deal more than most existing houses have. Downtown Victorians near the courthouse often carry almost nothing between the rafters, while township colonials from the postwar decades usually have thin builder-grade batts nowhere near what is recommended now. Either way, a fresh layer over what's there, sized to what the inspection finds, is normally the fix.
Monmouth County's clay-heavy soil holds water close to the surface and swells through freeze and thaw cycles most winters. Township colonials and ranches built over crawl spaces pull that moisture straight up into the floor joists, and older borough foundations trap the same dampness against masonry walls. A sealed vapor barrier over the ground and walls is what keeps that moisture out of the framing and insulation above.
Freehold is JCP&L territory, and the statewide NJ Clean Energy Program has offered rebates for insulation and air sealing work in past years. Program details and rebate amounts shift, so check the current NJ Clean Energy Program listings and ask what applies to your project when we come out for your free estimate.
No. Attic insulation and air sealing are interior work, done at the rafters, top plates and chimney chases, none of which falls under what the borough's Historic Preservation Advisory Commission reviews on a Broad Street or Peach Orchard exterior. A Victorian attic can reach today's insulation standard without a single change to the facade.
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.
