What Massachusetts does to a house
A state is a big place — these are the ranges, not averages. The county pages pin the numbers down.
- Climate
- Zones 5b–7b. Freezing days run from ~94 to ~166 a year depending on the county.
- First freeze
- Usually lands anywhere from October 3 to November 3 depending on the county.
- The air
- Temperate air, more or less statewide.
- The load
- Heating season rules the calendar in most of the state.
- Termites
- Light pressure as a state band.
- Radon
- EPA Zone 1 — the highest band — statewide. A one-time test settles it either way.
- Wind
- 8 counties carry hurricane exposure — prep there is a season, not a surprise.
- Labor
- Labor sits near one level statewide — every price band on this site adjusts to the county anyway.
