Homes and buildings in Ashland
Ashland grew along the Sudbury River and the railroad, with older homes near downtown and Ashland State Park, and many newer neighborhoods built since the 1980s. Split-levels and colonials from that era often have thin attic insulation and leaky rim joists.
In western Middlesex County, many homes were built during the post-war and 1980s building booms, and their original insulation has settled over the decades.
Newer homes often have decent wall insulation but thin attics, leaky rim joists and cold rooms over garages, and those are the areas we target first.
