A standard Minnesota homeowners policy covers your home's structure (dwelling), your personal belongings, liability if someone is injured on your property, and additional living expenses if your home is uninhabitable. It typically covers damage from fire, wind, hail, lightning, theft, and vandalism. We'll walk you through exactly what's covered — and what's not.

Standard homeowners insurance does NOT cover flood damage from rising water (heavy rain, river overflow). However, it typically covers sudden and accidental water damage from burst pipes or roof leaks. We strongly recommend adding Water Backup & Sump Pump coverage — especially important for Twin Cities homeowners. Separate flood insurance is available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) if you're in a flood zone.

Minnesota does not legally require homeowners insurance, but if you have a mortgage, your lender will almost certainly require it to protect their investment. Even if you own your home outright, going without coverage puts your biggest asset at serious risk. We can help you find the right coverage at a price that makes sense for your budget.

Absolutely — and we highly recommend it. Most carriers offer significant multi-policy discounts when you bundle homeowners and auto insurance together. It's one of the fastest ways to lower your total insurance costs. We'll show you exactly how much you could save by combining your policies.
