What the housing means for the work
- Some older houses. About 20 percent predate 1940, so some jobs start by removing old layers.
- Newer homes. 27 percent were built in 2000 or later. Here the work is mostly first remodels.
- Seasonal homes. 35 percent of Franconia homes are held for seasonal or occasional use. A roof leak or ice dam in an empty house can go unseen all winter, so check the roof and attic before the snow.
- Delivered fuel. 86 percent of Franconia households heat mainly with oil or propane, so heat kept in by an air-sealed attic is fuel you do not have to buy.
