Know exactly where your Quincy home loses energy
Guessing where a home loses energy wastes money. A blower door test measures how leaky the building is, and thermal imaging shows where the leaks are, so every dollar you spend on upgrades in Quincy goes where it counts.
A blower door test is especially useful near the coast, where wind finds every gap in the building shell.
From our base in Westborough, Quincy is about 33 miles away, close enough for quick estimates and follow-up visits.

Know your Quincy home
Quincy's neighborhoods, from Wollaston and North Quincy to Houghs Neck and Germantown, mix older colonials and capes with newer condos, and coastal streets take strong winter wind off the bay.
Quincy has more than 25 miles of coastline, so homes in Squantum, Marina Bay, Houghs Neck and Adams Shore deal with salt air and strong onshore wind, while inland neighborhoods such as Wollaston, Quincy Point and West Quincy face more typical suburban conditions.
In Norfolk County, larger older homes and newer colonials alike often lose heat through attics, kneewalls and rooms over garages.
