The median home in Lynn was built in 1946, and about 78% were built before 1980. Opening walls in older homes can reveal outdated plumbing, wiring or rot. Ask each company how it handles surprises and get that in writing. Federal EPA rules require firms that disturb painted surfaces in homes built before 1978 to follow lead-safe work practices. Ask whether the company is EPA lead-safe certified.
The U.S. Department of Energy places Essex County in climate zone 5A (cool, humid). In a damp climate, a bathroom exhaust fan that vents outside (not into the attic) helps prevent mold. Cold winters make exterior walls matter. If walls are opened, ask whether insulation will be added before they are closed.
