About Kevin
Kevin Messall is a licensed insurance broker at Stonecrest Insurance Services with more than 25 years of experience in the California insurance market. He has been with Stonecrest since the agency's founding in 1999, building deep expertise across personal lines, commercial coverage, and specialty markets — and a reputation for solving the hard cases that stump single-carrier agents.
Over the course of his career, Kevin has become the go-to broker for coverage situations that stump single-carrier agents. He specializes in the hard cases: wildfire-exposed properties in California's rapidly tightening market, high-value homes that need specialty carriers, non-standard auto risks, agricultural operations in the Central Valley, and the comprehensive risk management needs of high-net-worth families.
As an independent broker representing more than 20 top-rated admitted and surplus lines carriers — including specialty markets like PURE, Chubb, AIG Private Client, and Cincinnati Financial — Kevin brings the full range of the insurance marketplace to every client conversation. When one underwriter won't write your property, he has a dozen more options and the experience to know which one will price your risk most competitively.
Kevin is licensed by the California Department of Insurance (License #0E11801) and has maintained ongoing education in California's evolving insurance landscape, including wildfire risk assessment and defensibility programs, FAIR Plan structure and DIC policies, and the specialist carrier guidelines that govern high-value and surplus lines placements.
"My job is to know the market better than any single carrier's agent ever could. That means when your situation changes — or when a carrier changes what they're willing to write — you already have someone in your corner with alternatives ready." — Kevin Messall
