Who We Are

Founded by Howard Hildreth in 1946, the Howard Hildreth Agency has been providing excellent insurance services for over 60 years. We use only top-rated carriers to ensure financial stability to pay claims in the event of a catastrophic loss.

Our agents and service representatives have been with the agency for many years. They have the experience needed to handle your insurance and provide you with excellent service and coverage.  Service is our top priority.  We only use voicemail in a very rare instance and strive to always have a person to answer the phone when you call.
