What Makes Pittsfield and the Berkshires Different
Pittsfield sits in a valley in the Berkshire hills, where winters are long, snowy and cold. Ice dams form along the eaves of older homes with little attic insulation, and meltwater backs up under the shingles into ceilings and walls. Pipes in exterior walls, porches and unheated basements freeze and split, and the leak often shows up only when things warm up.
Much of the housing is old, built long before 1978. Lead paint is common, and Massachusetts has a strict lead law that requires deleading in older homes where young children live. Old plaster, boiler pipe wrap and floor tile may contain asbestos, so test before you tear anything out.
Branches of the Housatonic River run through the valley, and heavy rain or snowmelt can raise them fast. Older basements with stone or block walls seep in wet seasons, so a sump pump and a dehumidifier prevent a lot of damage. Many second homes in the hills sit empty for long stretches, so drain the plumbing or have someone check the home after any deep cold.

Checking a License in Pittsfield and the Berkshires
Massachusetts requires home improvement contractors to register with the state, and anyone supervising structural work on a home needs a construction supervisor license. Ask for both numbers and look them up with the state before you sign. Massachusetts has no separate mold license, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance. If the home was built before 1978, ask whether the crew is certified for lead safe renovation.
