The Yardley Historic District's frame and masonry houses date to the mid-1800s canal-trade era, most still carrying whatever insulation went in decades after the fact. Lower Makefield's split-levels and colonials, in developments like Heacock Meadows and Yardley Estates, went up through the 1960s to 1990s with standard fiberglass batts. Either way, what today's guidance calls for leaves most attics we open here well short.

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
Yardley is really two housing stories under one name, a one-square-mile historic borough built mostly before 1900, and the Lower Makefield developments the post office also delivers to as Yardley, built mostly from the 1960s through the 1990s. Both eras left attics and crawl spaces short of what current standards call for.
Canal Street homes from the 1800s and the split-levels that followed in the 1960s and 70s both fall short of what current guidance for southeast Pennsylvania now calls for.
The Delaware River and the Delaware Canal keep the ground under Yardley damp year-round, so crawl spaces and basements here fight moisture more than towns further inland.
Aging soffits on the borough's older frame houses and mature tree cover through Lower Makefield give squirrels, raccoons and bats an easy way onto the roof.
Bucks County winters hover around the freezing mark, thawing and refreezing for weeks at a stretch, and every warm-air leak into the attic feeds ice dams at the eaves.

BeforeAfterHear What Our Customers Are Saying
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.

Philadelphia CountyBucks CountyMontgomery CountyDelaware CountyChester CountyBerks CountyNorthampton CountyYardleyBucks County falls under the current energy-code guidance for southeast Pennsylvania, which expects far more depth than most attics around here were built with. What your particular attic needs is something the crew figures out on site, not off a printed chart. Most attics we open up in Yardley, whether it is an 1800s borough home or a 1970s Lower Makefield split-level, are sitting well under that, often on original batts that never got topped off.
It usually is. The moisture doing slow damage under Yardley is everyday river-valley humidity, not a flood event. The water table sits close to the surface here, and a vented crawl space or an older masonry foundation draws that dampness in year-round. Encapsulation seals the ground and walls with a vapor barrier so the moisture stops reaching your floor joists and insulation.
All of Bucks County, including Morrisville, Newtown, Langhorne, Middletown Township and Washington Crossing, plus Bensalem and the rest of eastern Pennsylvania. Our crews cover this stretch of the Philadelphia suburbs daily, and the full coverage area is on our Pennsylvania service page.
It does not change the work itself. We handle attic insulation and crawl space encapsulation, not flood cleanup or waterproofing, so a crawl space needs to be dry before we start. Once it is, encapsulation is what keeps everyday humidity from doing the same slow damage a flood does quickly, and it is worth asking about after any water event.
Scratching or thumping at dawn and dusk, droppings along the joists, chewed wiring, and for bats a sharp ammonia smell and dark staining near a roofline gap. Older frame homes in the historic borough and houses under Lower Makefield's mature tree canopy are both common entry points, usually through a soffit or fascia gap rather than the ground floor.
A straightforward Lower Makefield colonial usually moves fast. The tighter, lower-pitched attics in the historic borough take longer, and clearing out old material or dealing with wildlife damage stretches things out further still. We put the actual schedule in writing as part of your estimate.
Yes. Master Attic holds Pennsylvania Home Improvement Contractor license number 147980, in addition to our New Jersey and Delaware licenses. We carry the same license and insurance on every Yardley job, whether it is a small attic sealing job or a full crawl space encapsulation.
No. Attic insulation and air sealing happen from inside the attic, on the top plates, chimney chases and joist bays, so nothing on the roofline, siding or trim changes. It is the least disruptive way to bring one of these older attics up to the current standard, and nothing visible from the street changes.
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.
