Bay Shore, NY · Since 1990

Local insurance for Long Island's coast.

We're an independent Bay Shore agency, insuring Long Island homes, boats, and businesses since 1990 — and we know South Shore flood risk firsthand.

Every quote starts at your elevation — never a generic rate.

Coverage

Coverage built for the coast

Home, flood, auto, boat, and business — all placed with carriers who understand coastal risk, not just quote it.

Elevation certificates

We check your elevation before we quote flood

A foot of elevation can swing a flood premium. We pull your elevation certificate, flood zone, and community rating before we quote — so you pay for the risk you actually have, not a rough guess.

  • Elevation certificate review, included
  • NFIP and private flood options compared side by side
  • Community rating system discounts applied where earned

Homeowners

Your dwelling — and everything standing beside it

Detached garages, sheds, docks, and bulkheads get missed in a quick online quote. We go through every structure on your property so nothing's left out when you file a claim.

  • Dwelling, other structures, and personal property scoped separately
  • Docks, bulkheads & waterfront features reviewed line by line
  • Replacement-cost guidance, revisited at every renewal

Why McLear

On the South Shore since 1990

We opened in Bay Shore in 1990 and have renewed the same families through storms, rate hikes, and rebuilds ever since. We're independent, so the policy we recommend is the one that fits you — not a sales quota.
