What the housing means for the work
- Some older houses. About 25 percent predate 1940, so some jobs start by removing old layers.
- Lead-safe work. 54 percent of homes were built before 1980. Atlas is an EPA certified lead renovator and follows lead-safe (RRP) practices on pre-1978 paint.
- 1980s and 1990s houses. 31 percent were built between 1980 and 1999. They were built to older energy codes, so attic air sealing is worth pairing with new windows or a roof.
- Rental housing. 26 percent of homes are in buildings with two or more units and 26 percent of households rent. We handle rental maintenance and unit turns.
- Delivered fuel. 76 percent of Hanover households heat mainly with oil or propane, so heat kept in by an air-sealed attic is fuel you do not have to buy.
