☀️ Wisconsin Summers Are Calling—Let's Get You Ready for the Season!
Summer in Brookfield and the greater Milwaukee area means weekends at the lake, backyard barbecues, road trips Up North, community festivals, and making memories with family and friends. Before you hit the road or launch the boat, it's a good time to check a few seasonal to-dos around your home and review your insurance coverage.
If your motorcycle, classic car, boat, camper, or ATV has been stored away during the colder months, reach out before your next adventure to confirm your coverage is ready to go. Summer is also an excellent time to test your sump pump, inspect your roof after spring storms, and consider whether recent home improvements, outdoor projects, or major purchases have changed your insurance needs.
At the Joe Bonow State Farm Agent office, we're here to make those conversations simple and straightforward so you can spend less time worrying about insurance and more time enjoying everything summer has to offer.
🍔 Fire Up the Grill—Keep the Good Times Cooking
Nothing says Wisconsin summer quite like firing up the grill for family dinners, neighborhood cookouts, and weekends with friends. While you're making memories outdoors, taking a few simple safety precautions can help keep your summer celebrations on track.
Set your grill on a stable surface well away from your home, deck railings, fences, or other combustible materials, and never leave it unattended while cooking. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, regularly clean grease buildup, and make sure children and pets stay a safe distance from the cooking area.
Summer is also a great time to review your Home Insurance if you've added a new deck, outdoor kitchen, patio furniture, storage shed, or other improvements around your property. If you rent your home or apartment, Renters Insurance can help protect the belongings you've worked hard to purchase. Condo owners may also want to revisit their Condo Insurance after home updates, renovations, or adding new furnishings.
If it's been a while since you've reviewed your coverage, my team and I are happy to answer your questions and help you explore Home Insurance, Renters Insurance, and Condo Insurance options that fit your home and your lifestyle.
👋 Your Local Neighbor, Joe Bonow
For more than 20 years, I've had the privilege of helping individuals, families, and business owners throughout Wisconsin better understand their insurance options and prepare for life's unexpected moments. Over the years, I've also expanded my office beyond Wisconsin to serve customers across Illinois and Minnesota, allowing me to continue working with families as they relocate, purchase homes, welcome new drivers, and celebrate new milestones.
I grew up in the small farming community of Lewiston, Minnesota, before making southeastern Wisconsin home and earning my Communication degree from Wisconsin Lutheran College. Living in both rural communities and the Milwaukee area has given me a unique perspective on the needs of Midwest families—from unpredictable weather and seasonal recreation to growing households and changing lifestyles.
I believe insurance should be explained in everyday language, not complicated industry terms. Whether you're purchasing your first home, buying another vehicle, starting a business, or simply reviewing your current coverage, my team and I are committed to making every conversation friendly, informative, and easy to understand.
When I'm away from the office, you'll usually find me golfing, fishing, running, traveling, or cheering on my children's sporting events. I truly enjoy being part of the Brookfield community and look forward to getting to know you and helping you protect what matters most.
