How long has Carlstan Insurance Agency been in business?
Carlstan Insurance Agency was founded in 1948 by the Erickson family. It is now operated by the third generation — Adam and Ryan Erickson — from the Melville, New York office. Ken Erickson, who led the agency from 1976 until his retirement, built much of the carrier relationships and regional reputation the agency carries today.
What makes Carlstan different from other insurance agencies on Long Island?
We're small, family-owned, and independent — which means clients work directly with the same agents every time, not a rotating service team. We're not tied to any single carrier, so we shop the market at every renewal. Email is monitored 24/7 and voicemail is checked regularly. The feedback we hear most often is that we respond quickly and that clients never feel like a policy number.
Does Carlstan serve clients in New York City as well as Long Island?
Yes. We serve commercial and personal lines clients throughout all five NYC boroughs — Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island — as well as Nassau County and Suffolk County on Long Island. We are licensed in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut.
