Being around for 119 years, Shaver-Robichaux Insurance Services has been providing excellent insurance, care, and service to the people and businesses of Thibodaux and all of Louisiana.
Castle Shaver, who also started the first bank in Thibodaux (Bank of Thibodaux), created the company in 1899. Hurricane Betsy wiped out Castle’s agency as well as his friend’s, Alfred Robichaux. The two combined and rebuilt to become Shaver-Robichaux Insurance Services.
Today, Shaver-Robichaux is run by John Shaver – fourth generation Shaver and great-grandson of Castle. Remaining a family business, John works with his brother, Chuck; and his daughter, Mary. John, who has been with the business since 1983, has enjoyed being able to work with his family members over the years. He says the rest of the team at Shaver-Robichaux are also like family.
“We all support each other,” John says. “We all network together and go back and forth between our two locations [Thibodaux and Raceland offices]. It has worked out and been good.”
The well-trained and knowledgeable team at Shaver-Robichaux offer car insurance, homeowner’s insurance, life insurance, and business insurance coverages.
In addition to their personal and professional staff, another advantage Shaver-Robichaux has is that they are an independent insurance agency, meaning they aren’t tied down by one company and can give their customers the best coverage for the best price.
Their clients also can easily access their website, srinsurance.com, to make payments, file a claim, request a policy change, and more.
Shaver-Robichaux has also been able to adapt over the years to help their customers in the best way possible.
“We are constantly making changes here with customers in mind, always finding the latest product out there to help them.” John says. “We also have to lower that cost as much as we can for them.” •
