Home insurance ... and more
Ellis Insurance is committed to providing just the right insurance coverage for your home and personal needs. Our firm has been serving clients across New England and in New York for over 20 years. We specialize in designing insurance strategies that provide ample property coverage while limiting your exposure to unknown risks like personal liability. Whether you're renting an apartment or have just bought an estate home - our wide range of home insurance packages will protect your investment in your home, vacation property, boat, and valuables.
If you are considering scheduling jewelry, fine arts, furs, china, or any other high value items, it has never been easier to get Scheduled Valuable Possessions coverage. Items can be scheduled on an individual or blanket basis, and when an item is scheduled, no deductible is applied to a claim. For more expensive items, Ellis Insurance may recommend Fireman's Fund for convenience and quality of service: Fireman's Fund does not require appraisals for items with an individual value under $25,000.
In fact, all the insurance companies we represent excel in customer service, claims settlement and are financially stable. Does your current insurance provide sufficient coverage for your valuables? Have you made improvements to your home over the years? We are committed to answering all your home and personal insurance questions - if you don't find what you need here, send us an email or give us a call.
