"If you're in Agriculture, you probably already know that it's very difficult to obtain Wind Coverage for any property here in North Carolina east of I-95. Standard kept working on it however, until they found affordable coverage for all my locations. John T. is very hands on and I like that. John and I inspect each location personally every year and he usually offers suggestions on a wide variety of topics, from safety to workers comp. Another exceptional employee of Standard Insurance is Jeanie Barnes. Both John T. and Jeanie are extremely knowledgeable and professional. As independent agents, they shop around on our behalf to compare prices for coverage, and are always trying to save us money. We have always received the best possible coverage for the best possible price with Standard. You could say I'm pretty happy with these guys."

"As our insurance agent, Mr. Pitt
was instrumental in assisting our
Association to dramatically lower its
insurance premiums. Mr. Pitt
collaborated with our property
manager to update the replacement
costs needed to rebuild our eight
building association, in the event
of a casualty. The revised, insured
value decreased from $22 million to
$14 million. This 37% decrease in
insured value resulted in a 37%
decrease in our premiums, which
provides us an annual savings of
$70,000 per year! The Board of
Directors of SUOA, Inc. highly
recommends Bill Pitt and Standard
Insurance to meet the insurance
needs of any homeowner's
association who desires excellence,
experience, honesty and
professionalism in an insurance
agent and their respective agency."

"My relationship with Standard Insurance is one I'm happy to tell you about. I've been doing business with Standard since 2006 and they make it easy for me, it's trouble-free. I am pleased with their prices, their people, and their level of service – a level of excellence which you don't see in the world much these days."

"Before I began dealing with Standard Insurance, I had multiple policies with various companies all over the place. I had Workers' Comp with one company, but they couldn't handle me for Garage Liability so I had to go to another company for that coverage. Standard was able to take care of all the various coverages I needed, and they saved me a great deal of money by having everything in one place. I also like the fact that they have a local office and they actually answer the phone when I call them. That matters to me. I've dealt with both Buckley and George here in the local office and I'd say they provide "hands on" customer service. I would highly recommend them.."

"Because of the complex nature of
my business, I need my insurance
agent to know their products. I have
found the people at Standard to be extremely knowledgeable, and as a result, I have a comfort level with
them that I have not had with
previous agencies. Standard is
excellent to work with and saved
our company money on our
premiums. George and Buckley
are the best!!!"

Insurance are primarily with Kim
Bletsas – who I can't say enough
good things about. She is always
finding new ways to save us money,
and recently even helped me
tremendously by offering topics
and making suggestions for our
new employee handbook. This
was of course way above and
beyond her responsibility to me
as my insurance agent. The entire
staff there is just tremendous."

HOMEOWNERS "My dad, grandfather and great grandfather all have worked with Standard Insurance over the years.
Just recently one of Standard's
agents pointed out a potential
problem with my granddaddy’s condominium coverage at the
beach, which would have been
an expensive uncovered loss if
they had not brought it to his
attention. You don't get this type
of proactive assistance from
green lizards on television!!"

"Kanban Logistics has been doing
business with Standard Insurance
for well over ten years. I have rarely
seen such professionalism. Bonnie
Harris, Buckley Strandberg, Gus
Tullos, and Kim Bletsas are not only
very pleasant to work with, but are
also extremely capable. They have
been attentive in unexpected ways,
such as sharing weather bulletins or
severe weather preparation tips to
help protect my buildings and
equipment. They have frequently
provided pointers in regards to safety
and our workman's comp coverage.
My staff has told me out of all the
vendors they deal with – and there
are many – Standard's superior
service is simply unmatched. I feel
that I have gotten my money's
worth and then some. I highly
recommend Standard Insurance.."
