Know your Southborough home
Southborough's homes are largely bigger single-family colonials and contemporaries on wooded lots, with historic homes around the village center.
Southborough is a wooded town around the Sudbury Reservoir, with villages such as Fayville, Cordaville and Southville and many large colonials on bigger lots. Large homes with complex rooflines, cathedral ceilings and finished attics often benefit from spray foam and careful air sealing.
Central Massachusetts winters are colder and snowier than on the coast, and Worcester County's higher elevations add wind exposure, which makes attic air sealing and insulation especially valuable.
