“I feel comfortable having my insurance with The Andover Companies. I know that if something terrible happens, they will be there to support my family and guide us through the process. Insurance can be confusing, especially when you have multiple policies, but they have simplified the details so we can understand everything easily!”

Bianca and Ray L.
Homeowners

“As small-business owners, we have always chosen to place our Businessowners Policy with The Andover Companies. Their product offerings are comprehensive, and their rates are competitive. Most importantly, we feel they have always done right in protecting us. We confidently recommend Andover and are grateful for the relationship we share.”

Lindsey S.
Businessowner

“The Andover Companies service team is professional, personable, and extremely helpful. We’ve had our homeowners insurance with The Andover Companies for over six years and are happy to have recently added our secondary home with them in another New England state. I highly recommend insuring with them.”

Craig G.
Homeowner

“You can truly understand the value of your home insurance when you have a claim. My husband and I experienced firsthand how easy it was to work with The Andover Companies. A tree fell on our property, blocking the driveway. We submitted a claim with Andover and within days had a check in hand to reimburse us for the tree removal. The process was seamless.”
