MetzWood Insurance is proud to announce that David H. Rivenburgh Inc. has officially joined the MetzWood Insurance family as of January 1, 2026. This transition marks an important new chapter for both agencies, rooted in shared values of family ownership, personalized service, and deep community relationships.
For generations, the Rivenburgh Agency has been a trusted name in insurance, serving families and businesses with care, integrity, and local expertise. As Laura Mortefolio and Guy Rivenburgh begin their well-earned retirement, they have entrusted MetzWood Insurance to continue the legacy they built, ensuring clients receive the same high level of service they have always known.
What This Means for Rivenburgh Insurance Clients
Effective January 1, 2026, all current Rivenburgh clients are now insured through our team at MetzWood Insurance, with existing policies carrying over seamlessly. There is no immediate action required for most clients.
Ahead of each client’s next policy renewal, the MetzWood team will reach out to conduct a comprehensive coverage review. This proactive approach ensures policies remain aligned with clients’ needs while identifying opportunities for enhanced protection or potential savings.
Expanded Carrier Options
As part of MetzWood Insurance, Rivenburgh clients now have access to a broader range of competitive insurance carriers, including:
- New York Central Mutual
- Utica National
- The Hanover Insurance Group
- Cincinnati Insurance
- Liberty Mutual / Safeco
- Erie & Niagara Insurance
- And many more
This expanded network allows MetzWood to offer flexible coverage options tailored to each client’s unique situation.
A Shared Commitment to Personalized, Family-Owned Service
Both the Rivenburgh Agency and MetzWood Insurance were built on the belief that insurance should be personal, not transactional. MetzWood is a fourth-generation, family-owned insurance agency, and that legacy of service continues to guide every client interaction.
It is an honor for MetzWood to care for the individuals and families who have trusted the Rivenburgh Agency with protecting what matters most, their homes, businesses, and livelihoods. Our team is committed to maintaining the same service-first approach while providing the additional resources and expertise of a growing regional agency.
