The San Fernando Valley is home for us: Schneiderman Insurance Agency is based in Granada Hills, in the heart of it. From the foothills of the Santa Susanas and San Gabriels down through miles of neighborhoods, apartment corridors, and industrial parks, every part of the Valley carries its own mix of exposures. Earthquake statewide and wildfire along the northern foothills are the two that shape most coverage. We recommend home, business, auto, and life coverage built around the way people here actually live and work.

Coverage for San Fernando Valley families and businesses

On the personal side we help with homeowners insurance, auto insurance, earthquake insurance, and life insurance, including condos, renters, and landlord policies. For local employers we build commercial programs through our business insurance hub. For hard-to-cover homes we work with the California FAIR Plan and a wraparound difference-in-conditions policy, so a difficult property still has a path to protection.

In that arrangement our team represents you, not the California FAIR Plan.

The Valley economy is remarkably broad: the entertainment and media capital around Burbank and the studios, aerospace and manufacturing to the north and west, and warehousing and distribution across the industrial corridors. It also includes healthcare and higher education, plus the nurseries and trades along the foothills, many of them contractors insurance accounts. The retail and dining of Ventura Boulevard and the town centers typically call for retail business insurance and restaurant insurance. Coverage spans media and technology errors and omissions, manufacturing insurance with product liability and commercial property for manufacturers, contractor and fleet programs, retail and restaurant liability, and workers’ compensation across all of it.

Life needs here run the full range, from working families protecting an income to hillside estate owners planning a legacy to the Valley’s many small-business owners funding a buy-sell agreement. We match the plan to the household.

San Fernando Valley risks we plan for

The Valley sits close to major faults, and because earthquake is excluded from standard California home policies statewide, it is front of mind for both homes and buildings here. Homes along the northern foothills in areas like Porter Ranch, Chatsworth, and Sylmar face real wildfire risk, and burn scars can bring mudflow and flood concerns afterward.

Long commutes push up auto exposure, and the Valley’s dense commercial and industrial corridors, along with its large stock of apartments and habitational property, call for coverage matched carefully to each risk. Housing here runs from dense apartment corridors to high-value hillside estates, so the home picture shifts sharply from one community to the next.

Communities we serve in the San Fernando Valley

We work with families and businesses across the Valley, from Granada Hills, Porter Ranch, and Northridge through Chatsworth, Mission Hills, and Sylmar, down to Van Nuys, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, and Woodland Hills.

If your neighborhood is not listed, we very likely still serve it.

Recreational and specialty coverage

Horses on the northern lots, RVs and boats stored on Valley properties, motorcycles, and classic cars are all common here, and each typically needs its own specialty coverage, starting with motorcycle insurance.

Rooted in the Valley we call home

From our Granada Hills base our team knows this region street by street, explains your options in plain English, and is there when it counts at claim time. Because we work across many markets rather than one, we can place everyday risks, from office insurance for a Valley business park to the hard-to-place and specialty accounts other agencies turn away.
