Milford homes and what they need
Milford has many older multifamily homes and colonials near downtown, built when the town's granite quarries and factories were busy, plus post-war capes and ranches.
Milford's neighborhoods spread out from downtown and Main Street toward Louisa Lake and the Charles River headwaters, with older multifamily homes and colonials near the center and newer homes toward Route 16 and I-495. Granite foundations in older homes are common, and they need careful moisture checks before insulating.
Central Massachusetts winters are colder and snowier than on the coast, and Worcester County's higher elevations add wind exposure, which makes attic air sealing and insulation especially valuable.
