Local Knowledge
Randolph's housing inventory is concentrated in the 1960s through 1980s — a period of rapid suburban expansion that produced the ranch homes, split-levels, and garrison colonials that make up the majority of the town's residential stock today. Homes from this era were built quickly, with materials and practices that reflect mid-century cost pressures, and they now carry 40–60 years of age with corresponding systems that are at or approaching end-of-life.
Aluminum wiring appears regularly in Randolph's 1960s–1970s homes and is one of the most significant findings we document in this market. Insurers treat it seriously, and buyers who don't know it's present before closing frequently encounter surprises when they attempt to bind homeowner's insurance. We test every accessible outlet and switch in homes from this era and document the extent and condition of wiring systems.
Randolph's diverse and growing community has also seen significant renovation activity — and renovations that weren't permitted or weren't done to code are a consistent finding in the town. Finished basements, bathroom additions, and electrical subpanel upgrades done without permits can create conditions that don't meet current code, aren't covered by insurance if they fail, and complicate resale. We document visible signs of unpermitted work and recommend buyers check with the town's building department before closing.
Unpermitted renovations are a common finding in Randolph. We document visible signs of work done without proper permitting — finished basements, added bathrooms, electrical upgrades — and flag these for buyers to verify with the town. Unpermitted work can affect insurance coverage, financing, and future resale value.
