Made insurance easy
Insurance has always been confusing to me, but the team at Burns & Howard Insurance explained everything in plain language. Got great tenant insurance coverage at a fair price.

Room for improvement
Burns & Howard Insurance handled our business insurance, but the process was slow and I had to follow up multiple times. The final policy was fine though.

Great for home insurance
Bought our first home and Burns & Howard Insurance walked us through everything we needed for home insurance. They even bundled it with our auto policy for extra savings.

Helpful but slow
The broker at Burns & Howard Insurance was very helpful and knowledgeable about business insurance, but it took a few days to get our quotes back. End result was good though.
