Shawn,
Mark and I both say "Wow!"  We are very pleased with your work here and service!  The fact that YOU and your staff are handling this and making certain we are covered securely and appropriately (w/competitive, well-researched pricing) is very much appreciated by both of us.  We look forward to many years of being your clients and "tweaking" our insurance needs as our lives change/evolve.  (i.e., we get even older than we already are!!!!)  :)

Thank you so much!

Sincerely,
Carol and Mark Mestemacher

I’d like to begin this letter by saying what a genuine pleasure it has been working with our insurance Broker at The Daniel & Henry Co. over this past year.  One note could not sum up the ease of mind, solutions offered, and world of opportunities, you’ve brought to our company.

J. Williams Heating & Cooling has been in business for 34 years.  The majority of our years in operation were spent functioning solely as a residential HVAC contractor.  While the past two years have brought about change in the economy, it’s also dramatically altered our company’s range of business.  We recently took the big leap into Commercial Mechanical work.  This required an increase in man power, equipment & materials, cash flow, banking capacity, and last but no least – insurance/bonding capabilities.

We had no idea how large of an undertaking that last item was going to be.  New to the world of large Construction, the stringent demands and protocol to get a performance bond seemed to be a next to impossible feat.  However, impossible is not a word in this company’s vocabulary.

Our previous insurance company helped us in every way they possibly could.  But when it came to getting a bond line, things just weren’t happening.  As a family owned and operated business, J. Williams Heating & Cooling believes in loyalty and sticking things out with our team, anyone that enters our business “family”.  We battled leaving the smaller Insurance firm behind, but in order to grow, we were confident that the switch over to The Daniel & Henry Co. was the answer we were seeking.

Sure enough, our Broker, Mark Johnson, went at this thing full speed ahead.  With the assistance of Daniel & Henry’s fully-functioning support team, they’ve walked us through every obstacle to stand in our way.  Namely, Trudy Whitrock has been a personal angel, marketing our company to various sureties nationwide to get us the bonds we require in this competitive industry.  She’s stopped at nothing to get us what we need with terms we can handle. 

Honestly, if it weren’t for the compassion, drive, and determination of the people that make up Daniel & Henry, I don’t know where we’d be.  Thanks again for being a huge piece of the bridge to J. Williams Heating & Cooling Co.’s growth.

Sincerely,
Joy M. Williams

"Wow, was my insurance screwed up!  My financial advisor referred Shawn to me.  I was reluctant at first because my personal and business insurance was with an agent my father dealt with, there was a long history.  After speaking to Shawn I could sense his passion and his words made me realized that I had not actually spoken to my agent, I had only dealt with his staff that last 10+ years.  I was amazed to discover that not only was my liability protection not near enough to be considered adequate, I was paying too much and lacking serious endorsements.  I moved all of my insurance midterm.  I refer Shawn to every person that will listen to me."

"We just wanted to put in writing our gratitude for the professional way that you have served each of our many clients. There is no other organization or advisor we refer our clients to that is as committed to customer satisfaction as you are and for that we are grateful. PS. This is not baloney …we do believe this.”

"I develop everything from single family homes to apartments and office buildings. I own hundreds of investment properties, manage property and own a full service commercial brokerage. The one thing that each facet of my business has in common is complication. I need an insurance agency that can handle ALL my needs and Affiliated has done so. I have enough to do without having to worry about my insurance coverage and with Affiliated I never do. They have been handling my account with my best interest in mind for over 20 years and I enthusiastically recommend them to my friends.”

"I’ve been in business over 20 years and have owned a home for nearly 30 years. No one has taken better care of our insurance needs than the people at Affiliated. Our questions get answered fast. They even anticipate our needs. After a recent hail storm, they called US to ask if we were all right! Who does that!?!?”
