"Transitioning away from a PEO model was a significant step for my small business, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner than Granite Insurance to guide us through the process. The PEO solution we had in place had become increasingly costly, impersonal and no longer aligned with the needs of the team or scale of our business. Granite stepped in with deep industry expertise, strategic insight, and a truly hands-on approach that made all the difference.
The Granite team was pivotal in helping us bring all our employee benefits in-house, including health insurance, life insurance, and a range of optional coverages. Their dedication to securing competitive pricing while minimizing benefit cost increases resulted in substantial savings; real value that has had a measurable impact on our bottom line and employees’ well-being.
Granite worked closely with our HR department to transfer employee benefits seamlessly, taking great care to communicate with staff, answer questions, and address concerns proactively. From start to finish, Granite kept our team fully informed and engaged, providing clear documentation, well-structured presentations, and helpful resources that ensured everyone felt supported and confident in the transition.
Beyond simplifying benefits administration and improving employee access, Granite delivered a comprehensive solution that has elevated our overall approach to employee benefits. Their team is consistently warm, responsive, and easy to work with. Being local to our business, they’ve fostered a personal connection, even inviting us to lunch at their beautiful facility; something that speaks volumes about the type of partnerships they foster.
I am extremely satisfied with my decision to work with Granite Insurance. Their service has exceeded expectations, and I look forward to expanding our relationship in the future."

Mistie Boulton, CEO & Owner
"Compensation for several of my restaurants. Throughout this time, Shari and her team have consistently delivered competitive rates and outstanding service. Their dedicated claims manager has played a crucial role in reducing our financial impact by working closely with claims adjusters to expedite claim closures and minimize costs. This approach has not only kept claims costs low but has also resulted in a significant reduction in our overall insurance expenses.
​
Additionally, Granite’s proprietary ‘Pay as You Go’ Workers Compensation software has been a game-changer for us. Integrated with our payroll vendor, it allows us to eliminate upfront deposits, base premiums on actual payroll rather than estimates, and simplify the audit process with no surprises at the end of the year. This streamlined solution has saved us both time and money."
Premier Floor Care, Inc.
Cedric Moore, President
"Liability, Workers Compensation, and Commercial Auto insurance for my Floor Care business. Throughout this time, Shari and Stacy have consistently provided competitive rates and exceptional service. Their proactive and strategic marketing efforts have been instrumental in reducing costs and ensuring our financial stability, even during the most challenging times in our industry.
​
The initial savings in 2012, which exceeded $100K for my General Liability, set the tone for years of cost containment that has continued to benefit my business. I truly value the reliability and expertise Granite Insurance Brokers brings to the table, and I highly recommend their services to any business owner seeking comprehensive insurance solutions."
