What the housing means for the work
- Some older houses. About 23 percent predate 1940, so some jobs start by removing old layers.

- Rental housing. 48 percent of homes are in buildings with two or more units and 42 percent of households rent. We handle rental maintenance and unit turns.
- Delivered fuel. 61 percent of Somersworth households heat mainly with oil or propane, so heat kept in by an air-sealed attic is fuel you do not have to buy.
