Fitchburg (01420) is in Worcester County, roughly 32 miles north of our Charlton shop. It is the 46th closest of the 109 towns we serve, and 46 miles from the coast. The towns next to it are Lunenburg (4 mi), Leominster (5 mi), Shirley (8 mi), Princeton (10 mi), Sterling (10 mi).

On the higher ground around and west of Worcester the winter is longer and snowier. Snow sits against the bottom of the wall and meltwater refreezes at night, so the lowest courses take most of the wear. The centre of Fitchburg sits about 452 feet above sea level, 433 feet lower than our shop. Fitchburg, 46 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 17,744 homes in Fitchburg. The typical one was built in 1950, which makes Fitchburg's housing the 12th oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 62% went up before 1960 and 79% before 1980. 54% are lived in by their owners, and 37% are in two- to four-family buildings, the three-deckers and two-families this part of Massachusetts is known for. With most of the housing built before 1980, many of these walls are on their second or third exterior, and lead-safe work practices matter: federal EPA rules apply to disturbing paint on homes built before 1978.
