August in the New York Means County Fairs, Back-to-School Prep, and Real Insurance Conversations with Stephen Quiles State Farm in Plattsburgh, NY 🎡📚☀️

Hey there—Stephen Quiles here, your local State Farm Agent in Plattsburgh, New York. Around here, August is when summer starts to wind down, but the to-do lists start heating up. Whether you're back-to-school shopping on Cornelia Street, taking your final weekend road trips to Lake Champlain, or squeezing in one last campfire with the family before fall hits, it’s a great time to check in on the things that matter—like your auto insurance, home insurance, car insurance, renters insurance, life insurance, and your insurance quotes.

I’ve built my agency on real relationships and honest conversations, and I’m proud to serve folks not just in Plattsburgh, but in nearby cities like Malone, Peru, Morrisonville, Saranac Lake, Beekmantown, and West Chazy. Whether you're a SUNY student renting your first place, a longtime homeowner in Clinton County, or a family growing into a bigger car, I’m here to make sure you feel heard, understood, and confident in your insurance decisions—without the fluff.

🎯 August Insurance Fact You Should Know: This is one of the busiest moving months of the year—especially for college towns like Plattsburgh. That means it’s also one of the top months for claims related to moving damage, rental transitions, and new driver accidents. If you're settling into a new home, apartment, or dorm, now’s the time to check in on your home insurance, renters insurance, and auto insurance quotes in Upstate New York.

🔥 What August Looks Like Around Here—and Why It’s the Perfect Time to Talk Insurance:

🚗 Auto Insurance & Car Insurance in Plattsburgh, NY – From Weekend Getaways to Weekday Commutes Whether you’re cruising along Route 22 to hit the Champlain Valley Fair or running errands through Malone and Peru, August means more miles and more drivers on the road. If it’s been a while since you last reviewed your auto insurance coverage or compared car insurance quotes, this is a good month to hit pause and make sure your policy still fits your driving life. Whether you've added a new car, teen driver, or just want to explore options—I'm here to help you navigate it with zero pressure.

🏡 Home Insurance in Clinton County – Coverage for the Things You’ve Built If you’ve upgraded your roof, added an outdoor living space, or just bought a home in Morrisonville or West Chazy, it might be time to revisit your home insurance policy. Summer storms, aging structures, and rising repair costs all make August a smart time to schedule a quick insurance review. I’ll help you understand what’s covered, what might need to be updated, and how to feel secure as we roll into fall.

📦 Renters Insurance – Especially During Move-In Season August is move-in month for so many—students moving into dorms at SUNY Plattsburgh, renters settling into apartments in Saranac Lake, and families shifting into new spaces around Beekmantown. If you’ve never had renters insurance in Upstate NY or aren’t sure what your policy includes, I’ll walk you through it. We’ll talk about coverage for things like laptops, furniture, clothes, and even personal liability. It’s quicker (and usually more affordable) than people expect.
