Independent insurance agency offering home, auto, business, and renters insurance, representing multiple carriers including Nationwide, Progressive, Travelers, and Mercury.

Overview

Quinton Insurance is an independent insurance agency headquartered at 2700 Elmwood Avenue in Brighton, NY, just outside Rochester. Founded in 1996 by D. Gordon Quinton, the agency started as a one-person operation — Gordon personally called homeowners and business owners from phone books to offer quotes before the internet era. Over the following decades, the agency grew steadily, and in 2013 Joe Alloco joined the leadership team to help expand operations further. Today, Quinton Insurance serves more than 10,000 clients across New York State and maintains additional offices on Long Island and in Westchester County.

What They Offer

As an independent agency, Quinton Insurance represents over 40 insurance carriers, giving clients the ability to compare coverage and pricing across multiple providers. Their carrier partners include Erie Insurance, The Hartford, Liberty Mutual, Nationwide, Progressive, Travelers, Chubb, and Zurich American, among others. Coverage lines include:

  • Home, condo, and renters insurance
  • Auto insurance
  • Business and commercial property insurance
  • Contractors insurance
  • Life insurance
  • Umbrella insurance
  • Specialty coverage for boats, jewelry, and events

The Rochester office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Known For

Quinton Insurance has built its business on the independent agency model, which allows clients to shop policies from dozens of carriers through a single point of contact rather than being limited to one company's products. The agency's three-decade presence in the Rochester market and its growth from a solo startup to a multi-location firm with over 10,000 clients reflect its long-standing roots in the community.

Location & Neighborhood

The Rochester office sits at 2700 Elmwood Avenue, Suite B, in the Town of Brighton — a residential suburb adjacent to the Twelve Corners intersection, one of the area's well-known commercial hubs. Brighton Town Hall and the Brighton Memorial Library are nearby on Elmwood Avenue. The location offers convenient access to both I-590 and I-490, making it reachable from most parts of the greater Rochester area.
