What we see on Groton houses
Twenty-seven percent of the housing in Groton went up in a single decade: about 1,027 homes in the 1990s, out of 3,818 in the town. The 1980s added roughly 668 more, so better than four in ten Groton homes date from those twenty years.
Just 36 percent of these houses were standing in 1979, which is the smallest older share of any town near Groton, and the midpoint lands at 1987. Behind that newer majority there are still about 647 pre-war houses — 17 percent of the town, which is a village rather than a scattering of farmhouses.
The town is large and thinly built: 3,818 homes across 32.8 square miles, about 116 to the square mile, with roughly 87 percent single-family houses and owner-occupancy near 88 percent.
Thirty years is a precise age in this trade, and 1,027 Groton houses are reaching it at once. Nothing has rotted on them. What has happened is that the beads around the windows have stopped doing their job while the mill finish on the trim is still hard and tightly stuck down — which means the next coat either keys into that surface or peels off it, and nothing in between.
What to watch for on a Groton house
- 1,027 houses built in a single decade. Groton's 1990s block is 27 percent of the town, which means a very large number of local houses hit thirty years at once: sealant finished, cladding sound, and a factory trim finish that a new coating has to be prepared to grip.
- The 647 homes that predate 1940, which are 17 percent of the town and a different trade entirely, tested elevation by elevation with timber replaced rather than filled.

How far Groton is, and what that means
Groton is about 20.3 miles from Northborough — about an hour out. That is a normal working distance for us and it is free to have someone come and look. The crew is on site for a full day rather than dropping in, which suits whole rooms and whole elevations better than an hour of touch-up.
Why Groton homeowners hire one company for both
The single most common way an exterior job in Central Mass goes sideways is discovering rot after the staging is up. Then you are calling carpenters, waiting three weeks, paying two mobilization fees and watching the weather window close.
Because EA Paint & Light Carpentry, Inc. is set up for light carpentry as well as painting, that whole detour disappears. The soft sill, the split clapboard, the blown-out corner board — found at the estimate, priced at the estimate, repaired by the same crew that paints it.
One crew, one schedule, one company answering for the result.
