A raccoon looking for a den in Manchester Township has the whole Pine Barrens edge to work with, and a roofline near Whiting or Pine Lake Park is well within an easy climb from the tree line. Once it finds a soft spot, whether that is a gap in an old soffit above or a loose vent below the structure, it settles in rather than passing through, which is why the first visit is about finding out which side of the building it used.
Once the entry point is confirmed, removal follows the same humane approach either way: an opening fitted with a device that only allows outward movement, so the raccoon can leave under its own power while re-entry stays blocked, or, where a young litter cannot yet travel on its own, humane trapping instead.
With the raccoon gone, the opening gets closed so nothing follows it back in, and the space itself, whether that is a Crestwood Village attic or a crawl space beneath a Leisure Village West ranch, gets cleared of the waste and torn material a raccoon typically leaves. New insulation goes back in wherever the old material was contaminated.
Six services that come up around a Manchester raccoon job, in the attic, the crawl space, or both, each starting with the same free inspection.
The four situations that come up most on raccoon jobs across Manchester, New Jersey.
A raccoon strong enough to pry apart a fifty-year-old soffit joint gets straight into the attic space above a Manchester ranch, and once inside it tends to settle rather than pass through, especially a mother raising young.
Manchester's ranch stock commonly sits on crawl spaces rather than basements, and a raccoon working at a loose foundation vent cover or a gap in the skirting can get underneath just as easily as it climbs onto the roof.
A denning raccoon treats insulation as bedding rather than a floor layer, pulling it into a heap in the attic or across the crawl space, which is often the first visible sign a homeowner near Cedar Glen Lakes or Renaissance at Manchester notices from below.
Raccoon droppings collect wherever the animal has been denning, in attic insulation or across a crawl space floor, and a plain sweep does not address what has soaked into the material underneath, which is why sanitizing follows the cleanup.
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.
Above, it is almost always a soffit joint or roofline gap that has opened up over the decades on an older ranch. Below, it is a loose crawl space vent cover or a gap along the skirting, which shows up on the same ranch stock that sits on crawl spaces instead of basements across most of Manchester Township. We check both areas on every call.
It depends on the method the situation calls for. A one-way door removal moves at the raccoon's own pace since it has to leave on its own, while a den with young can take longer to fully clear. We walk you through the likely timeline for your specific situation as part of the estimate.
Raccoon work itself falls outside what state energy programs fund, though new insulation installed afterward can sometimes qualify under New Jersey's statewide clean energy incentives, and Manchester sits within JCP&L's territory. During the free inspection we flag whatever program happens to be live at that point, since eligibility can shift without much notice.
Sealing keeps that particular animal, or another one, from using the same opening again, but a raccoon that finds a different weak spot on the roofline or around the crawl space can still get in elsewhere. That is why we check the whole perimeter during the visit rather than closing only the one gap we found first.
A one-way door goes over the opening whenever the situation allows it, so the raccoon exits through the same route it already knows and finds the way back sealed once it is gone. When young cannot yet leave a den under their own power, we switch to humane trapping instead.
No, it comes with the removal call. Once the entry point is sealed, we clear torn or soiled insulation, clean the space, and sanitize wherever waste has collected, whether that is an attic near Whiting or a crawl space beneath a Manchester ranch.
A den does not stop at a municipal boundary, so our coverage runs across Ocean County: Jackson, Toms River, Berkeley Township, Lakehurst borough sitting entirely inside Manchester Township, and both Lacey and Plumsted Township to the south. Being headquartered inside Manchester Township keeps drive time short for most of those calls.
Yes. A raccoon denning under a ranch through a crawl space opening can tear at a vapor barrier and insulation just as a rooftop entry damages attic material, and the waste it leaves behind creates the same health concerns in either space. We treat a crawl space call with the same urgency as an attic one.
Free inspection and a written estimate, no obligation.
