Gutwein & Risner Insurance Agency

Summer is here, and homeowners across Northwest Indiana are getting their backyards ready for warm-weather fun. From pools and trampolines to new playsets, these additions make great memories — but they can also increase liability risks.

At Gutwein & Risner Insurance Agency, we want families throughout Rensselaer and Monticello to enjoy summer without added worry. A quick review of your homeowners insurance can help ensure your liability limits are where they need to be and that you have the right protection for common backyard hazards.

If you’re unsure whether your current coverage is enough, our team is here to help. Give us a call, and we’ll walk you through your options so you can enjoy a safer, worry-free summer.

We're gearing up for Father's Day at Gutwein & Risner Insurance Agency, and we want to recognize all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures who make such a difference in our Northwest Indiana communities.

From family farms to small businesses to everyday life at home, so much of what keeps our towns strong starts with you. We hope your weekend is full of good company, good memories, and maybe a few classic dad jokes.

How are you celebrating the dads in your life this year?

We know tonight’s storms kept a lot of people watching the radar.

If you wake up to storm damage tomorrow, give our office a call. We’re here to help you get things back on track.

Stay safe, and thank you to everyone working tonight to keep our communities protected.

If you own a vintage, antique, or collector vehicle, then you might be wondering what sort of auto policy you’ll need to protect your investment.

If you’re looking to purchase classic car coverage for a vehicle or if you’d like to layer on helpful extras to an existing policy, don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here to help make sure your investment is fully protected.

You may have heard about saving money for a rainy day, but have you invested in coverage that protects you when life’s storms hit?

Here are a few questions to determine whether you have an umbrella handy:

✅ Do I have life insurance — and if so, enough of it?

✅ Does my current insurance coverage protect me financially if I’m unable to work?

✅ Have I been putting off any riders or additional coverages I might regret if life took a turn?

✅ Has it been a while since I last had a coverage review?

When life gets hard, you deserve to be able to focus solely on the situation at hand. Having the right coverages in place helps make that possible.

Call our office today to review your coverage and make sure you’re protected for life's rainy days!
