What Fitchburg homes need
Fitchburg's housing includes many late-1800s and early-1900s multifamily homes and Victorians from its mill era, plus post-war homes in outer neighborhoods.
Fitchburg is built on hills along the Nashua River, with neighborhoods such as Cleghorn, the Upper Common area and West Fitchburg. Many late-1800s and early-1900s multifamily homes and Victorians here face strong winter wind on exposed hillsides.
Across Worcester County, we work on everything from antique farmhouses and mill-era multifamily homes to newer colonials in the I-495 and I-290 corridors.

FAQ
Fiberglass questions in Fitchburg, MA
Does fiberglass help with sound?
Yes. Unfaced batts in interior walls and floors reduce noise between rooms.
How long does a fiberglass job take?
Most homes and additions are done in a day or two.
What is blown fiberglass?
Loose fiberglass blown into attics. It is light, resists settling and covers large areas quickly.
Can fiberglass go in an existing wall?
Not easily. For closed walls, dense-pack cellulose is usually the better choice.
Does fiberglass absorb moisture?
The glass fibers do not absorb water, but wet insulation loses performance, so leaks should be fixed first.
Faced or unfaced batts?
It depends on the location and the vapor control needed. We follow code and manufacturer guidance.
