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. 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 NFIP if you're in a flood zone.

If a tree falls on your home due to a covered peril (like a storm or wind), the resulting damage to your structure is generally covered. Removal of the tree may also be covered up to a limit. However, if a healthy tree falls due to its own weight without a storm event, coverage may be limited. We'll review your specific policy so you know exactly where you stand.

Most standard policies include $100,000 in liability coverage, but we often recommend $300,000 or more — especially for homeowners with assets to protect. If you want broader protection, an umbrella policy can extend your liability coverage to $1 million or more at a relatively low cost. We'll help you find the right level for your situation.

Buying directly from one insurance company means seeing only one set of rates and coverage options.
