Customer Reviews

July 16, 2021

We have been with agency for at least fifteen years for both home and auto insurance and have had great service from day one. I would recommend Byrnes Agency to family, friends or anyone who asks.

July 10, 2021

I have always had great service when I call to pay my bill or if I have any questions. Ill also get quick response by phone or email if agent that deals with our policies is not available or needs to do something for us.

June 16, 2021

Very responsive and friendly. Work with good carriers. Very helpful when I have had to file a claim.

June 15, 2021

Always ready to help, and I am impressed with the agency reviewing my policy to offer discounts if applicable. I feel confident that I am receiving the best rate.

They always get me great insurance deals!!

May 28, 2021

My personal thanks to Donna Coderre in your Dayville office. For nearly 20 years she has shown me what I consider to be the finest customer service I have ever experienced. Always upbeat, and a pleasure to deal with, she has gone far and above the call of duty in taking care of me. She truly is a keeper

May 28, 2021

Ya gotta love an insurance agency that takes the time to call their customers after a hurricane to touch base with them and make sure they're OK. Thank you Allie for the call and thank you Byrnes for being such a great agency!!

May 28, 2021

Thank you for all of the help. My roof got done on Saturday. If you did not get involved, I don't know how long it would have taken to get something done. It's a big weight off my mind. THANK YOU!!

May 26, 2021

for many years we have been with the Byrnes Agency and we have always had our questions answered in a timely manner and they have also tried to get us the best insurance that we could get. We would highly recommend them to everyone.
