Attic cleanup in Lakewood, New Jersey usually starts because something specific is up there that should not be: old boxes and forgotten storage, animal droppings, or insulation that has gone flat and grimy after years of dust settling into it. That is as true in one of the township's newer duplexes as it is in a house near downtown that has stood since the town's early resort years.
We clear the floor first, bagging debris and vacuuming loose material so nothing gets tracked back down through the attic hatch. Where droppings or nesting material are mixed into the insulation, that gets pulled along with everything else, and the space is sanitized before we call the cleanup finished. Any gap at the soffits or roofline that let an animal in gets flagged for sealing separately.
A cleaned attic is also the easiest attic to inspect properly, so we use the visit to check ventilation, look for moisture and note where the insulation could use topping off. The visit closes out with a free, written breakdown of what the cleanup turned up and whatever we would suggest doing next.

The four things Master Attic keeps running into once a Lakewood attic gets cleared out.
Squirrels and raccoons get onto the roof through the loosened soffits common on Lakewood's early resort-era houses near downtown, and what they leave behind in the insulation is typically what a cleanup crew finds waiting once the boxes and storage have been pulled aside.
Attics across Lakewood, old and new, tend to collect years of boxes, holiday decorations and furniture that was meant to be temporary, and clearing that out is often what finally exposes the condition of the insulation and framing underneath.
A cleanup in one of the attics near Lake Carasaljo often turns up a musty smell that traces back to humid ground air rising into the house from a vented crawl space below, which is a moisture problem the cleanup surfaces even when it is not the reason for the visit.
Clearing an attic near the eaves sometimes uncovers water staining from past ice dams, a sign that warm air has been leaking through gaps in the floor for winters at a time, in houses built decades ago and, less often, in newer Lakewood construction too.
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 clear out debris, old storage and anything an animal left behind, vacuum the floor, and sanitize the space if droppings or nesting material were mixed into the insulation. Along the way we flag any gap at the soffits or roofline that let an animal in, and note whether the insulation underneath needs attention once the floor is clear.
That comes down to what is actually up there and how long it has been since anyone touched the space. A lightly used attic with some old storage clears out fast, while one with years of animal activity near downtown or piled-up debris takes real time. Once we've seen it, that timeframe goes straight into the written estimate.
Clearing out an attic is not, by itself, what utility rebate programs are set up to fund. Lakewood sits in JCP&L territory though, and when a cleanup turns up the need for new insulation afterward, that follow-on work has drawn program support in past years. We'll flag anything current once we know what your attic needs.
You can clear obviously safe items like boxes, but we would not recommend handling anything that looks like droppings, nesting material or damaged insulation without protection, since that material can carry contaminants. If you are not sure what you are looking at, it is worth having us take a look before you start moving things around.
It comes down to what is actually in the debris. Boxes, old holiday decorations and general clutter just get hauled out, while anything mixed with droppings, urine or nesting material gets sanitized because it is a contamination issue, not a tidiness one. We check for that during the inspection before quoting the work.
Only if it turns out to be contaminated, flattened, or otherwise not worth keeping once we can actually see it under the debris. A lot of the insulation in Lakewood's older downtown attics falls into that category, while insulation in newer duplexes and townhouses more often just needs the space around it cleared.
Lakewood is one stop on a route that covers all of Ocean County: Toms River, Brick, Jackson, Manchester and Howell over the Monmouth County line included. Attics in this corner of New Jersey get cleared out on a steady weekly schedule, whether the house dates to the resort years or went up last decade.
Often, yes, if the smell is coming from droppings, nesting material or general buildup we clear and sanitize. If it traces back to trapped moisture or a leak instead, the cleanup will surface that during the inspection, and we will tell you what additional work, if any, is behind the smell before recommending it.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
