Merrimack, around 29,400 people, runs along the west bank of the river between Manchester and Nashua with the Everett Turnpike down the middle. It is one of the fastest-growing towns in the area, and its housing is almost entirely post-1960: split-levels, colonials, and a steady supply of newer subdivisions off Route 3.

What newer houses actually need

No plaster, no asbestos questions, no lath. What Merrimack calls about instead is settlement in the first few winters — cracks over the doorways, popped fasteners, and butt joints that have started to read across a ceiling in the afternoon.

Basements being finished

A great many of these houses have unfinished basements that owners eventually get round to. Worth reading the basement page first — the board choice down there is not the same as upstairs and it is where most of these jobs go wrong.
