What the housing means for the work
- Some older houses. About 26 percent predate 1940, so some jobs start by removing old layers.
- Lead-safe work. 65 percent of homes were built before 1980. Atlas is an EPA certified lead renovator and follows lead-safe (RRP) practices on pre-1978 paint.
- Rental housing. 28 percent of homes are in buildings with two or more units and 36 percent of households rent. We handle rental maintenance and unit turns.
- Delivered fuel. 56 percent of Henniker 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. 18 percent heat mainly with wood. Around chimneys we keep roofing, siding and insulation work to the required clearances.
