MetzWood Acquires Rivenburgh Agency

The team at MetzWood is excited to announce that as of January 1, 2026, we will be absorbing the David H Rivenbrugh Agency Inc! The current owners, the second generation of the Rivenburgh family, will be starting their next chapter and are trusting MetzWood to continue on their legacy of family-owned, personalized service.

What to Expect

Effective January 1, 2026, all current Rivenburgh clients will be insured by MetzWood, with their current plans carrying over. These clients will be contacted by our team ahead of their next policy renewal for a comprehensive review of their current plan. With this new chapter, Rivenburgh clients will have access to extended coverage options from providers, including: 

  • New York Central Mutual
  • Utica National
  • The Hanover Insurance Group
  • Cincinnati Insurance
  • Erie Insurance
  • Niagara Insurance
  • And many more!

It’s our honor to be trusted with taking care of the clients who have entrusted their family and valuables to the Rivenburgh Agency. We promise to rise to the level of personalized service they have received as clients. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us.

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m a current Rivenburgh client. Do I need to do anything?

Welcome to MetzWood! The vast majority of Rivernburgh clients do not have to do anything at this time. Clients who are currently making their payments by phone or in person should get in touch with a MetzWood representative to discuss how to move forward with future payments.

When will the change take place?

The first day of the acquisition will be January 1, 2026. We encourage current Rivenburgh clients to reach out to our team at any point before or after this date with any questions!

Why now?

The David H Rivenbrugh Agency Inc was founded in 1967 and was under the leadership of David and his wife, Berniece, until their passing in 2006 and 2007, respectively. At that point, their children, Laura Mortefolio and Guy Rivenburgh, continued their parents’ legacy by leading the agency.

The time has come for Laura and Guy to start their next chapter in retirement. We look forward to honoring their legacy as a family-owned business, and we bid them well in their retirement!
