Squirrels, raccoons and mice do not use the same doors into every Freehold house. The borough's Victorian construction near the courthouse and the ranches and colonials filling East and West Freehold each open up in different spots, so a proper job means examining the roofline, the soffits, the foundation vents and every utility penetration together, not stopping once one obvious gap turns up. Missing a second or third opening just moves the problem to a different part of the roof or foundation.
Whatever is already living in the insulation gets removed before we begin closing anything up, and the insulation itself often needs replacing, since droppings, nesting material and gnawed wiring are common once mice or squirrels have had a season in a Freehold attic. We use spray foam and heavy-gauge mesh sized to the animal that made the opening: the wider soffit gaps a raccoon works loose take different material than the narrow sill cracks a mouse slips through.
None of this costs anything to find out. A written estimate covers the attic and the crawl space together when a house has both, since a Freehold property with an open crawl space often has entry points working at more than one level at once. Whether the job is a downtown Victorian near the Broad Street district or a split-level out past West Freehold, the same inspection and the same crew handle it, sized to whatever the walk-through turns up.
The removal, sealing and cleanup work that usually goes with exclusion in a Freehold attic or crawl space, all starting from the same free inspection.
The four conditions behind most rodent-proofing calls we get in Freehold, NJ.
Freehold Borough's tree-lined blocks near Broad Street put squirrels and raccoons within reach of second-story rooflines, and the way the borough's Victorian houses were balloon-framed leaves few internal barriers once something works past an aging soffit or fascia board.
Ranches and colonials across East Freehold and West Freehold usually sit low to the ground, and gaps around foundation vents, crawl doors and dryer vents give mice and other small animals a direct route into the crawl space and the floor above it.
Once squirrels or mice have nested, the insulation underneath is usually soiled and packed down where they bedded. Once the opening they used is closed for good, that material gets pulled and the area sanitized rather than left in place under a fresh layer.
A gap the width of a thumb is enough for a mouse, and older Freehold houses on both sides of town collect them at the sill plate, around utility penetrations and where additions meet the original structure, so a full walk-around beats spot-checking one wall.
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.
We walk the entire attic and, if the house has one, the crawl space, looking for every gap an animal could use, not just the obvious one. Once we have a full list, we seal each opening with material sized to what has been using it, then remove and sanitize whatever insulation was nested in or soiled before closing everything back up.
That comes down to how many openings there are and whether the insulation underneath needs replacing too. A house with one or two clear entry points and clean insulation goes faster than one where an attic or crawl space needs a full cleanout first. The schedule for your specific house is part of the written estimate, so you know before work starts.
Sealing openings on its own is rarely what a Clean Energy Program rebate targets, but replacing insulation the animals contaminated has fallen under offerings from JCP&L and the state before. Raise it during your inspection and we will spell out exactly what applies to that job.
They are removed before any opening is closed, since sealing an animal inside is not something we do. Once the attic or crawl space is clear, we find and close every entry point, then handle whatever insulation or cleanup the animals left behind so nothing is shut in and nothing new can get back in the same way.
The inspection covers the roofline, soffits, fascia, foundation vents, utility penetrations and the crawl space access door, since the borough's older Victorian construction and the township's postwar ranches and colonials each have their own weak points. What actually gets sealed, and with what material, depends entirely on what the walk-through finds, which is why we look before we quote anything.
Only when it needs it. Insulation that stayed clean and dry through the whole episode can often be left alone once the opening is sealed. If droppings, urine or nesting material are present, though, that material gets pulled and the space sanitized before anything fresh goes down, which is common in Freehold attics that have carried squirrels or raccoons for a while.
We also cover Colts Neck, Howell, Manalapan, Marlboro and Millstone Township, the towns ringing Freehold, plus Jackson, one county over in Ocean County. The borough and the township both get the same crew and the same free inspection as a matter of course.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
