A Reputation Built on Trust
We’ve built a strong reputation for service, professionalism, and responsiveness.
Our manufacturing facility has worked with Mike Prentiss for a number of years. Before we started doing buiness, our instance package was not up to par and needed help. Mike jumped in and needed help Mike jumped in and fine-tuned our coverage. His sense of urgency and knowledge of the insurance industry, particularly in the manufacturing area, are second to none. We could not be happier with the service, value and comfort knowing that we are in good hands.

Because Starkweather is proactive in keeping our underwriting file up to date, when a bid bond requirement popped up unexpectedly at the end of the day, they had the bond issued and, in our hands, before closing time. That kind of speed and reliability is hard to find.
