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.

Standard homeowners policies typically cover docks and other water-related structures under the 'other structures' portion of your policy, but coverage limits can vary significantly. If you have a high-value dock, boathouse, or lakefront structure, we'll make sure it's properly covered — and can explore additional endorsements if needed.

If a tree falls due to a covered peril (wind, storm, lightning), the structural damage to your home is generally covered. Tree removal may also be covered up to a per-occurrence limit. However, if a tree falls due to rot or neglect, coverage may be denied. We'll review your specific policy so you know exactly what's protected.
