July in Upstate New York Means Fireworks, Cookouts, and Insurance Conversations with Stephen Quiles State Farm in Plattsburgh 🇺🇸

Hey there! I’m Stephen Quiles, your local State Farm Agent right here in Plattsburgh, NY, and if you ask me—July is the heartbeat of summer. Whether it’s grabbing ice cream downtown, catching fireworks over Lake Champlain, or packing up for a weekend at Ausable Chasm, this month is all about making memories. And while you’re out enjoying every sun-soaked moment, it’s also a great time to check in on your auto insurance, home insurance, car insurance, renters insurance, and life insurance, before the busy season picks up speed.

I’m proud to serve not just Plattsburgh, but families and individuals across Malone, Peru, Saranac Lake, Morrisonville, West Chazy, and Beekmantown. This is my home, and I care deeply about the people in it. I believe in building real relationships, giving real answers, and making sure you actually understand your options—not just checking boxes on a screen.

🎇 July Fun Fact: Did you know July has one of the highest collisions due to holiday travel and 4th of July firework traffic? It’s the perfect time to review your car insurance policy and see if anything needs to be updated. A quick look today can help make sure you’re not caught off guard tomorrow.

☀️ How Can I Help You This July?

🚗 Auto Insurance & Car Insurance – For Every Drive You Take This Summer

From your daily commute along Route 3 to weekend adventures up near Malone or over to Saranac Lake, your car gets you where life happens. That’s why auto insurance that actually reflects your lifestyle, your vehicle, and your driving habits is so important. Whether you just bought a new vehicle, added a teen driver, or haven’t compared your car insurance quote in a few years—let’s make sure your policy still fits where you are today.

🏡 Home Insurance – For the Roof Over Your Head and Everything Under It

Up here in the North Country, our homes take a beating—from pop-up summer storms to aging roofs and everything in between. Whether you’re in a charming older home, a newly built place, or a lakeside home with character and quirks, home insurance should reflect your home’s value and your daily life. We’ll review what your policy currently covers, discuss things like outbuildings, recent upgrades, and any seasonal risks, and make sure your homeowners insurance matches the way you actually live.

🏢 Renters Insurance – Simple Coverage for the Things You Love

If you’re renting in Plattsburgh, Malone, or downtown Saranac Lake, you may not realize just how much your personal belongings add up—until something unexpected happens. Whether it’s water damage, a kitchen mishap, or theft while you’re away, renters insurance helps cover things like your clothes, electronics, bicycle, and furniture. From students at SUNY Plattsburgh to professionals growing their lives, I help renters across Clinton County understand what’s included in a policy, how to add liability coverage, and how to keep things attainable without losing key coverage.

❤️ Life Insurance – Because the People in Your Life Matter Most

July has a way of reminding us how important family is—from Fourth of July picnics to family reunions and long summer nights on the porch. If you’ve been putting off getting life insurance, now is a great time to finally take a look.

Whether you just got married, started a family, or are thinking about your kids’ future, I’m here to walk you through what life insurance can do—and how to get a policy that works for your current stage of life. There’s no pressure, just real talk about how to take care of the people who count on you.
