Inland, the damage comes from freeze-thaw. Water gets into a seam, freezes, expands and opens the joint a little further, night after night through the winter. The centre of Ashland sits about 181 feet above sea level, 704 feet lower than our shop. Ashland, 26 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 8,094 homes in Ashland. The typical one was built in 1984, which makes Ashland's housing the 96th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 29% went up before 1960 and 42% before 1980. 75% are lived in by their owners, and 56% are single-family houses. A younger housing stock usually means original builder-grade siding, windows and trim reaching the end of their first life, with less old paint and fewer hidden layers to deal with.
