Planning your roof replacement
Homes built in the 1970s
Norwood's median year built is 1979. A town median gives context; individual homes and past renovations vary.
A home from the 1970s may have a mix of original exterior details and newer materials. Roof , and around chimneys or roof openings often deserve review before replacement. Earlier roof assemblies may lack ice and water protection where a new scope would consider it. Windows may have aging seals or older frames, and siding may hide repairs from previous work. Some older cement siding may contain asbestos; testing decides. Gutter attachment and condition also matter, particularly when a new roof changes the details along the edge of the house.
