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 Franklin sits about 301 feet above sea level, 584 feet lower than our shop. Franklin, 27 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 13,011 homes in Franklin. The typical one was built in 1985, which makes Franklin's housing the 102nd oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 23% went up before 1960 and 41% before 1980. 78% are lived in by their owners, and 62% 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.
