It was very nice to reach out to Jacki and her colleagues and through their vast experience and knowledge they were able to put together an insurance package that pertained to me and my businesses needs. Skeele insurance was able to save me a significant amount of money compared to my prior insurance provider therefore I'm able to put more money back into my business and less time worrying about running costs.

I have been very impressed with not only the savings in money for my personal and business needs (which is a few thousand total) but the genuine concern Skeele Insurance has for myself and my business. Proper insurance is huge and Matt took several hours educating me on how to get exactly what I needed!! Skeele Insurance has won my business that’s for sure!!

We have worked with Skeele Insurance from the start of our business and it’s been a pleasure every step of the way. Matt always responds promptly to any questions and explains thoroughly any new insurance we need as we grow our business. They also have great communication between all the offices which is very helpful if you’re in the area of an office you don’t usually stop in at.

We purchased our car and home insurance from the Skeele Agency 2 years ago. We wanted to work with a local agency. We were very pleased with our experience with Maurine Brown. She spent lots of time with us and answered all our questions. We just purchased a new car and decided to stay with the Skeele Agency. Couldn't ask for better service.

The whole process of switching agencies was easy and Matt Skeele couldn't have been any more helpful. Every time a question has come up we will email Matt and he responds almost immediately. Switching from Allstate to Skeele for home owner insurance and car insurance wasn't only a better financial option but has turned out to be one of the best choices we've ever made. Thank you so much for everything and I will continue to refer every person I speak with to your agency.

Skeele Agency has been insuring my home and property since I first moved to Central NY in 1996: that is 22 years! Their customer service is unparalleled. I have filed claims for wind storms that caused quite a lot of damage, including to boats, trees, roofing-- always with a very high confidence that the insurance policy they advised me to invest in would take good care of me.
