What the housing means for the work
- Old houses. 32 percent of Northumberland 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.
- Lead-safe work. 79 percent of homes were built before 1980. Atlas is an EPA certified lead renovator and follows lead-safe (RRP) practices on pre-1978 paint.
- Delivered fuel. 82 percent of Northumberland households heat mainly with oil or propane, so heat kept in by an air-sealed attic is fuel you do not have to buy.
