Condo Insurance – Protect Your Condo Unit and Belongings
If you own a condo in Mercer County, PA, or just over the Ohio line near Youngstown, you probably have an HOA master policy. But that policy doesn’t cover everything. Your association typically insures the building exterior and common areas—but your walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinets, and belongings are your responsibility.
That’s where
condo insurance in Pennsylvania and Ohio—also called an
HO-6 policy—comes in. Rodgers & Co Insurance makes sure your policy fills the gaps left by your HOA coverage so you’re protected where you need it most.
Why Condo Owners Need Their Own Policy
An HOA master policy won’t pay for:
Damage to the inside of your unit (drywall, fixtures, flooring)
Your personal belongings, electronics, and furniture
Liability if someone gets hurt inside your condo
Costs to live elsewhere during repairs to your unit
Without a personal condo insurance policy, you could be covering these costs yourself.
What a Condo Insurance Policy Covers
A well-designed condo policy usually includes:
Interior Unit Coverage
Protects the interior structure from the walls in.
Personal Property
Covers your belongings from theft, fire, and other covered risks.
Personal Liability
Helps pay medical and legal costs if you’re responsible for injuries or damage.
Loss Assessment Coverage
Covers your share if the HOA passes along certain repair or claim costs.
Additional Living Expenses
Pays for temporary housing if your unit is uninhabitable after a covered event.
Need extra protection? We can add endorsements for jewelry, collectibles, or high-value electronics.
Understanding Your HOA’s Master Policy
The first step in getting the right coverage is knowing what your HOA already insures. Some master policies are “all-in” and cover fixtures like cabinets and flooring, while others are “bare walls” and stop at the drywall.
We’ll review your HOA documents, explain what’s covered, and customize your policy so there are no surprises at claim time.
