I need insurance for my not so perfect house.?

I am no Martha Stewart or Bob Villa for that matter. I try hard, but am a bit of a hippy when it comes to my home and car. I love them both and am grateful for them, especially when I see how folks in third world countries live!!!! My house is in need of repairs ( like the roof and upgrading the electricity ). These are things I cannot afford or can do myself. Are there insurance companies who insure folks like me who don't live in a two story with a white picket fence? How do you find them?
