Hooksett, about 15,400 people, straddles the Merrimack immediately north of Manchester along I-93. It is a mix: 1960s and 70s ranches on wooded lots, newer subdivisions off Hackett Hill, apartment complexes near the highway, and the student housing around the Southern New Hampshire University campus that sits on the town line.

Turnover work

The rental density here means a steady stream of anchor holes and tenant damage, usually with a hard date attached. Those get quoted per unit from photographs and finished in one or two visits.

Ranch houses and the ice

Long low roofs with shallow pitch and older insulation are exactly what makes an ice dam, and Hooksett has a great many of them. The ceiling stain is the part we fix; the attic is the part that stops it happening again, and we will say so on the estimate.
