Attic insulation comes out in Glassboro for a handful of clear reasons: water damage from a roof or a slow plumbing leak has ruined it, mice or squirrels have nested in it, or it is decades-old batting from a balloon-framed downtown house that has compressed and lost most of its value. The walk-through identifies which of those applies before any equipment goes up the ladder.
Removal itself is a vacuum job, not a shovel job. Protective plastic isolates the attic from the rooms below before anything starts, an industrial hose draws the old material into a sealed containment bag, and what remains, the plates, the framing, the old wiring runs, gets cleaned down to bare wood. Anything fouled by rodents gets sanitized before the space is considered ready for new insulation.
That matters more in a town with as much rental turnover near Rowan University as Glassboro has, because contaminated insulation can sit undisturbed between leases for a year or longer. Once the old material and anything that nested in it are gone, the attic gets a fresh inspection for entry points before new blown-in or batt insulation covers a floor sealed tight against outside air first.
Six services that often ride along with a Glassboro removal job, starting with a free inspection.
The four situations that send Glassboro attic insulation to the dumpster instead of back down.
Insulation left in balloon-framed houses near downtown Glassboro from the borough's early decades has usually flattened to a fraction of its original loft, doing far less than it did the day it went in.
Pulling the old insulation is often when a Glassboro crew finds the extent of a mouse or squirrel problem that a tenant near Rowan University never reported, matted nesting material and droppings tracked well beyond the entry point.
A roof leak, a sweating duct or a slow-dripping plumbing stack can all soak insulation from the top or the bottom, and wet cellulose or fiberglass loses its insulating value fast while creating a mold risk that has to be dealt with too.
Balloon framing near downtown Glassboro leaves narrow joist bays and a steep pitch that make it hard to snake a vacuum hose through, which is why every removal job starts with an in-person walk-through instead of a phone estimate.
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.
Topping works when the existing material is dry and undisturbed. It comes out instead once it has been soaked by a leak, once mice or squirrels have nested in it, an all-too-familiar problem given how often Glassboro's rental units near Rowan University change hands, or once it is old enough from the borough's balloon-framed stock that it has compressed past being useful.
It depends on how much material is up there and how tight the access is. A postwar colonial with a full-size hatch is generally quicker than a balloon-framed house near downtown with a small scuttle and decades of old batting, and rodent contamination adds cleanup and sanitizing on top of the vacuum work. The schedule for your specific attic goes into the written estimate.
Atlantic City Electric covers Glassboro, and New Jersey's incentive programs have, from time to time, put money toward projects like this one regardless of provider. Exactly what applies right now is worth confirming directly with us at the estimate, since funding availability moves around more than most people expect.
Not for the tenants living there, no. The living space stays sealed off from the attic before work starts, and the vacuum system keeps dust and debris contained rather than letting it drift down into the rooms below. It is worth telling us upfront if a unit has an active tenant so we can schedule around them.
An industrial vacuum does the work, not a shovel or a broom. Protective plastic isolates the attic from the rooms below before anything starts, the vacuum hose draws material into a sealed containment bag, and the exposed framing gets swept clean once the bulk of it is gone. It is slower than shoveling material into open bags, and it is why so little dust ends up in the house below.
In most cases yes, since an empty attic loses heat fast, but it is a separate line on the estimate so you can decide. Most Glassboro attics we empty go back with blown-in or batt insulation once the floor is sealed and any rodent entry points are closed, matched to what the attic's layout can actually hold.
Every Gloucester County town is covered, starting with the ones that touch Glassboro directly: Mantua, Washington Township and Elk Township on one side, Clayton and Pitman on the other. Camden County and the broader South Jersey market get the same crews, including Cherry Hill, so reach out even if your address sits just past these lines.
Only if it is dry and was never home to rodents. Layering new insulation over material that is wet, moldy or fouled just buries the problem and can make a future removal job worse, since new material has to come out first to reach the old. If there is any doubt, the free inspection settles it before anything gets recommended.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
