Two counties, one town
Milford straddles the Mispillion River and the Kent–Sussex line. The historic downtown and Riverwalk are lined with older commercial buildings and Victorian homes, while newer developments stretch out along Route 113 and Route 1. Insurance appraisal in Milford covers everything from slate and wood siding to modern vinyl and architectural shingles.
Storms from the bay and the sea
Milford is a few miles from the Delaware Bay and close enough to the coast to feel tropical systems and nor’easters. Summer storms also bring wind, hail and lightning across the flat farmland that surrounds the town.
River and low-lying areas
Areas near the Mispillion River and Silver Lake can see high water during heavy rain or storm tides. Rising water is generally a flood-policy issue, while roof and wind damage from the same storm falls under the homeowners or commercial policy. We help separate them.
What we see most
- Roof and siding damage from wind and hail
- Historic home repairs downtown
- Tree damage in older neighborhoods
- Agricultural and metal building claims

Questions from Milford property owners
My older Milford home has original wood siding. Will that be priced correctly?
We identify the existing materials and price repairs to match, rather than assuming modern substitutes.
Do you cover Harrington and Greenwood?
Yes. We cover southern Kent County and all of Sussex County.
Is flooding from the Mispillion covered by my homeowners policy?
Rising water from a river is generally excluded under homeowners policies and covered under separate flood insurance.
