EXCELLENT Based on 27 reviews Posted on Ray KikavousiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve had a great experience working with Mike and Nannette at McDonough Insurance Services. They’ve been handling our workers’ comp and other insurance needs, and they’ve consistently been informative, responsive, and easy to work with. What really stands out is their level of communication—calls and emails are always returned promptly, which is rare in this industry. Mike is very knowledgeable and well-connected, which has been a huge advantage for us. We’ve been so satisfied with their service that we’ve referred them within our franchise, and now several other franchisees are using them as well. Highly recommend if you’re looking for reliable and professional insurance support.Posted on LaSaundra GarrettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a new franchisee with FirstLight Home Care, I can confidently say that this company has gone above and beyond to meet my needs. After experiencing a difficult situation with another insurance provider while setting up coverage for my business, I was feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about next steps. Nanette immediately stepped in and provided exceptional support. She walked me through the entire process, helping to resolve the issues and bring clarity to what had become a very stressful situation. Her willingness to be available—even during late evenings for calls, emails, and text messages—truly set her apart. Throughout every interaction, I was met with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. It’s rare to find that level of dedication and responsiveness. McDonough Insurance Services has earned my highest recommendation—they absolutely deserve more than five stars.Posted on Cameron MeredithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
