About Gates Insurance Agency Limited

Insurance
11-50

At Gates Insurance Agency, our team of insurance navigators provide guidance through insurance options and language. We've "been there," experiencing many of the same life events that you have. We understand where you're at in life and in business, and what your insurance coverage needs to achieve.

Gates Insurance is an independent insurance broker for general and commercial insurance. Since we were founded in 1991, we've built solid relationships with several leading insurance providers. We're not limited to insurance products from one company. Instead we offer a "custom blend" of products that match your needs.

We don't stop there. Home—the place where you can be yourself—is one of the most devastating losses. We're unique in providing a free home inspection to spot hazards that could lead to a loss. If a loss occurs, we work for you (not an insurance company). Our navigation team are calm and understanding, and will lead you through the steps in the claims process.
