☀️ Make the Most of Summer with a Quick Insurance Check-In 🌿

Summer has arrived in Schenectady and across the Capital Region, bringing longer days, weekend getaways, backyard projects, and plenty of time to enjoy everything the season has to offer. Whether you're heading out to explore local parks, spending time on the water, or simply keeping busy at home, it's a great time to make sure your insurance still reflects your life today.

Here are a few areas worth reviewing this season:

🚗 Auto Insurance

Summer often means extra miles on the road. Whether you're taking family road trips, commuting a little differently, or adding a new driver or vehicle, it's a good time to review your auto coverage and confirm everything is up to date.

🏡 Home Insurance

From outdoor improvements and landscaping projects to new patios, sheds, or major purchases, summer is a season when homes often see changes. A quick review can help ensure your homeowners insurance reflects any recent updates.

🏠 Renters Insurance

Moving season is in full swing, and even if you're staying put, new furniture, electronics, or other belongings may be worth reviewing. Renters insurance can help keep your coverage aligned with your current needs.

💼 Business Insurance

For many local businesses, summer brings changing schedules, seasonal employees, new equipment, or increased activity. Reviewing your business insurance can help ensure your coverage keeps pace with your operations.

❤️ Life Insurance

Life doesn't slow down with the seasons. Whether you've welcomed a new family member, changed jobs, purchased a home, or reached another milestone, summer is a great reminder to revisit your life insurance coverage.

As a local State Farm agent in Rotterdam, NY I have had the privilege of helping customers with their Auto, Home, Life and Small Business Insurance since 1998. I enjoy being a part of my community and building relationships in the Capital District and throughout New York State. I have been proud to be a part of this exceptional company since 1984 as a claim associate, Re-inspector/Trainer, Claim Superintendent and eventually, a State Farm Agent.

My wife, Stacy, is also a State Farm agent. We relocated to the Albany area to start her business in 1990, and over the years we have seen our own family grow and change in ways that often mirror the changes that occur in the families that we serve. As luck would have it, my youngest son, Kevin joined our team after graduating college just a few short years ago.

We appreciate the opportunity to serve the families and businesses of the Capital District and our many customers across New York State. Please give our team a call, send us an email or text, or take advantage of our 24-Hour Customer Care for your Car, Home, Life, and Small Business Insurance needs.
