What the housing means for the work
- Old houses. 30 percent of Grafton homes were built before 1940. Expect old layers of siding and roofing and plank roof decks; we strip to the sheathing or deck and repair it first.
- Newer homes. 26 percent were built in 2000 or later. Here the work is mostly first remodels.
- Delivered fuel. 72 percent of Grafton households heat mainly with oil or propane, so heat kept in by an air-sealed attic is fuel you do not have to buy.
- Wood heat. 21 percent heat mainly with wood. Around chimneys we keep roofing, siding and insulation work to the required clearances.
