House Insurance in Edina, MN

Protect Your Home, Belongings & Peace of Mind

If you own a home in Edina, MN, you probably know how much pride and effort it takes to maintain it. From Southdale and Morningside to the Country Club District and Centennial Lakes area, houses here aren’t just buildings — they’re parts of lives, families, and futures.

That’s exactly why house insurance matters. It’s not something you want to hope you have right if something goes wrong — it’s something you want to understand and trust.

Prokop Insurance Agency helps Edina homeowners protect what matters most. We’re local, licensed in Minnesota, and focused on making house insurance easy to understand and tailored to your home’s risks.

What House Insurance Covers

House insurance protects you against everyday perils that could cost tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket.

Typical protections include:

• Dwelling Coverage – Pays to repair or rebuild your home’s structure after covered damage.
• Personal Property Protection – Covers furniture, clothing, electronics, and other belongings inside your house.
• Liability Coverage – Helps if someone is hurt on your property or you’re legally responsible for damage.
• Other Structures – Protection for structures like fences, garages, sheds.
• Living Expense Coverage – Helps pay for hotel, food, and daily costs if your home is temporarily unlivable.

These are the basics most homeowners need. We’ll walk you through each one so you aren’t guessing what your policy actually does.

Why You Need House Insurance in Edina

Most people think a mortgage lender makes you get insurance. That’s true, but there’s a bigger reason: without insurance, you could lose your home and savings in a single disaster.

Here in Edina, risks include:

• Severe storms and hail
• Winter ice and burst pipes
• Fire damage
• Theft or vandalism
• Liability exposure from visitors or delivery people
• Water damage (from sources other than flooding)

Homeowners policies typically cover all of the above except flooding — and flood damage is a real risk in parts of the Twin Cities and Edina. Edina participates in the National Flood Insurance Program, so you can buy flood insurance if needed.

Why Work With Prokop Insurance Agency

You have options. Some big national companies and agents sell standard policies. Others offer cookie‑cutter coverage. Here’s what we do differently:

Services We Offer Around Edina

Homeowners / House Insurance

Your main service — protection for your home’s structure, contents, liability, and loss of use.

Condo Insurance

If you own a condo in Edina, you likely need HO‑6 coverage for interior structure and personal property.

Renters Insurance

You may rent but still have expensive items worth protecting.

Flood Insurance

Standard policies don’t cover flood damage. Edina homeowners may want separate flood coverage, especially if they’re near lowlands or waterways.

Fire & Hazard Coverage

Fire coverage is essential, and we help you make sure you’re not underinsured — including smoke and ash protection.

Umbrella Insurance

This adds extra liability protection that kicks in if your basic policy limits are too low.

Common House Insurance Gaps People Miss

1. Not Enough Dwelling Coverage

If you pick a policy based on your home’s market value, you could underinsure. Replacement cost is what it takes to rebuild — which can be higher than market value.

2. Excluded Flood Damage

Standard homeowners insurance does not cover floods. Edina residents often assume it does. It doesn’t, and separate coverage is needed.

3. Liability Doesn’t Go Far Enough

Your policy might have basic liability, but if you have a pool or host events at home, you may need higher limits or an umbrella policy.

4. Outdated Roof or Electrical Work

Some carriers charge more or exclude coverage if your roof is old or electrical and plumbing aren’t up to code.

These are all the details an independent agent should check with you.

How We Build Your Policy — Step by Step

1. Risk Assessment & Home Evaluation

We look at your home’s construction, age, location, and risk factors.

2. Replacement Cost Valuation

We calculate how much it would really cost to rebuild today — materials and labor, not what you paid for the house.

3. Liability Risk Analysis

We check your liability exposure — things like pools, detached garages, or frequent visitors may increase risk.

4. Coverage Customization

We walk through coverages you need (and often ones people overlook) so you know exactly what you’re insured for.

5. Claims Support & Documentation

If you ever need to file a claim, we help you prepare the documentation and support you through the process.

6. Ongoing Policy Reviews

Your needs change over time — additions, remodels, or new valuables mean your coverage should change too.

Average Costs in Edina

Home insurance costs vary, but Edina tends to be higher than some other Minnesota cities due to the value of homes and local risk profiles. According to recent data:

Average annual homeowners insurance in Edina: around $2,130/year.

That’s an average — your actual premium depends on your home’s age, size, claims history, and coverage levels.

How You Can Save on House Insurance

Bundle Policies

Combine house with auto insurance and often get a multi‑policy discount.

Improve Home Safety

Install smoke detectors, deadbolts, storm‑resistant roofing, and other safety features. Some insurers offer discounts for these.

Raise Deductibles

Choosing a higher deductible can lower your premium, if you’re comfortable with higher out‑of‑pocket costs in a claim.

Maintain Your Home

Replacing an old roof, updating wiring or plumbing, and preventing water damage can reduce your risk and potentially your rate.

We’ll talk through all of these with you.
