At Foundation Insurance Group, our team of independent agents is committed to helping you find affordable, comprehensive insurance to protect the things you value most: your family, your home, your business, your car ... your life.

We are an independent, locally-owned insurance agency based in River Ridge, Louisiana. We are your neighbors. We support your business. We drive the same pot-holed streets every day. We worry about floods, hurricanes, lawsuits, and car accidents on I-10, too.

When you work with our agents, you are not an account number. You are a valued local customer, and we believe you deserve personal, honest service and professional guidance to find the right insurance coverage, customized to suit your needs and your life. And if you're not officially a Foundation Insurance customer, yet? Let us review all of your current insurance policies–home, business, car–and we'll tell you if you're over-insured, whether you're paying too much, and where there might be gaps in your coverage that put you at risk. Completely free of charge. No strings attached.

We pride ourselves on simplifying the complex, confusing aspects of insurance coverage, and we walk our customers through every step of the process so that you feel confident and secure in the decisions you make. And, we won't disappear after you sign on the dotted line. We follow through, we follow up, we check in. We are local, independent, honest insurance agents at your service.
