Local since 1900

Family owned, five generations in.

James McBane built the agency on honesty, integrity, and customer relationships, and passed it to his son Ralph, who ran it from 1935 to 1983. Ralph’s son Jim followed, and today brothers David and Dan McBane lead the agency, with Alec McBane representing the fifth generation.

A lot has changed since 1900. What hasn’t: when you call the Bergholz office, you talk to someone who knows the area and will still be here when you have a claim.

Jefferson County

Coverage for rural Jefferson and Columbiana counties

Much of the Bergholz area is rural acreage — a house, a barn or two, some equipment, maybe livestock or a hobby farm. A standard homeowners policy often falls short for that. We look at farm and rural property coverage that fits how you actually use your land.

Landowners with oil and gas leases or pipeline right-of-ways should review their liability coverage. We can help you make sure your policy responds to activity on your property.

From Bergholz we also serve Amsterdam, Salineville, Wellsville, and East Liverpool, along with neighbors across the state line in Hancock County, WV and Beaver County, PA.

Testimonials

Neighbors who count on us.

The last 5 years have been a bit hectic for the Scurti’s. A new car, a new home, and even a new business. McBane has been there every step of the way. The agency’s attention to detail and willingness to take questions at any time via phone or email has brought us so much peace of mind as we’ve completed these important investments. After many years of efficient, cost-effective services, I’m proud to say that the McBane team has become more than advisors; they are trusted friends who will be alongside us in the future.
