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 Grafton sits about 474 feet above sea level, 411 feet lower than our shop. Grafton, 38 miles from salt water, is in that group.

The Census counts 7,826 homes in Grafton. The typical one was built in 1977, which makes Grafton's housing the 82nd oldest of the 109 towns we serve; 28% went up before 1960 and 54% before 1980. 73% are lived in by their owners, and 63% are single-family houses. A stock this mixed means no two quotes start the same way: an older house may be hiding asbestos-cement shingles or lead paint under its current siding, while a newer one is usually down to its original builder-grade materials.
