Insurance AGENT2000
We are independent Commercial & Personal Insurance Brokers who focus on exemplary customer service. Although that has not happened, the name has remained.
James Knapp started in the insurance industry in 1961, after graduating from Villanova College, with the Insurance Company of North America. Between 1961 and 1973, Jim was transferred from Philadelphia to Kansas City, Missouri, back to Philadelphia, and then to San Francisco. In 1974 he left the Insurance Company of North America to work on the agency side of the business. After working for another agency for a short time, Jim Knapp joined forces with Dennis Maring and started Maring Knapp & Company on September 1, 1975. After a few years, Dennis was ready to move on, and Jim bought him out, and the Agency's name was changed to MK Insurance. In 1987 when many agency clusters were being formed, Jim Knapp changed the Agency's name to AGENT2000, Commercial & Personal Insurance Brokers. Not because the year 2000 was approaching, but because his vision was for 2000 agencies to join forces. Jim's daughter Laurie Limrite started working in the Agency full-time in 1983 after graduating from St. Mary's College of California. And his son, Derek Knapp, began working in the Agency in 1986, first on the technology side and then became a licensed agent. Now Jim is retired, resides in the town of Lookout, CA, in Modoc County, and is enjoying a slower-paced life. Laurie and Derek run the Agency's day-to-day operations. The Agency is now in its 47th year! AGENT2000 has focused on exemplary customer service, proven by the number of long-term clients. Some have been with the Agency since its inception. We look forward to providing you with excellent customer service for many years! We are now licensed in California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Tennesse, and North Carolina.

We Will Never Forget
Today we pause to remember the thousands of innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001. We honor the families forever changed by that tragic day and reflect on the strength, unity, and resilience that emerged in its wake.
We also extend our deepest gratitude to the courageous first responders, firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and emergency personnel who ran toward danger when others were seeking safety. Their bravery, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment to serving others will never be forgotten.
As we remember those we lost, let us also remember the heroes who answered the call, the communities that came together, and the spirit of a nation that stood united.
❤️ We remember. 🤍 We honor. 💙 We will never forget.

Hail Damage
Often, after a hailstorm, which often happen most frequently during the spring and early summer, the roof contractors will go door to door trying to drum up Business. This happened to Brittany Scott. If you suspect damage, call your insurance company. Do not sign anything until you have spoken with your insurance company and found a reportable roofing company.
Do you actually have damage?
The size of hail needed to damage a roof depends on the roofing material and its condition. As a general guideline, hail measuring about 1¼ inches across is often required to damage heavy architectural asphalt shingles or wood shake roofs. Lighter-weight asphalt shingles may be affected by hail around 1 inch in diameter. Hail smaller than 1 inch usually causes damage only when shingles are already aged, brittle, or otherwise deteriorated.
If you suspect your roof has been exposed to damaging hail, it's a good idea to look for signs of impact on other property before filing a claim.
Hail capable of harming roofing materials often leaves visible marks on items such as:
Vehicles
Wood fencing
Window shutters
Exterior siding and trim
You may also notice an unusual amount of roofing granules collecting near gutters or downspouts. While this can indicate that the roof was affected by hail, granule accumulation alone does not necessarily confirm hail damage. This preliminary inspection can help determine whether a professional roof evaluation may be warranted.
Here are two articles about hail damage and when it's important to get it repaired.
