A Note from Dan Summer has a way of changing our routines. We're spending more time on the road, taking vacations, working on our homes, heading out on the water, and making memories with family. It's also one of those seasons where small life changes can quietly outgrow the insurance decisions we made months — or even years — ago. This month, take a few minutes to think about what's changed since last summer. Sometimes that's all it takes to avoid surprises later.

This Month's Focus: Summer Recreation

Whether it's a boat, jet ski, motorcycle, golf cart, camper, or simply more weekends away from home, summer often changes how we use the things we own. If something has changed, let us know — a quick conversation today can prevent headaches later.

Around the House

Summer is home improvement season. If you've recently finished a basement, added a deck, installed a pool, replaced your roof, purchased expensive outdoor furniture, or added solar panels, those improvements may affect your insurance. You don't need to know the answer — that's what we're here for.

Customer Question of the Month

"Should I raise my deductible to lower my premium?"

Maybe. A higher deductible can reduce your premium, but it's only a good decision if you're comfortable paying that amount tomorrow — not just hoping you never have to. Every family's situation is different. If you're thinking about making changes, I'd be happy to talk through the pros and cons.

One Small Thing You Can Do This Month

Take five minutes. Walk around your home with your phone and record a quick video of each room. Open drawers. Open closets. Capture valuables. If you ever have a major claim, you'll be glad you did.
