About attic insulation →Local know-how
The Massachusetts climate and what it does to a house.
Massachusetts has cold, snowy winters, nor'easters, salt air on the coast and some of the oldest housing in the country.
Older chimneys often have unlined flues, soft brick and lime mortar that the freeze-thaw cycle wears away. Liners and rebuilds above the roof are common.
Ice dams are the classic winter leak, and nor'easter winds lift shingles and flashing.
Clogged gutters turn into ice dams. Heavy snow sliding off the roof can tear gutters down.
Many older homes have little attic insulation. More insulation and air sealing cut heating costs and help prevent ice dams.
