What Is Condo Insurance?
An HO-6 condo insurance policy covers the interior of your unit including flooring, cabinets, fixtures, personal belongings, personal liability, and loss of use costs if your Madison condo is damaged and uninhabitable.
Why Choose Shield Insurance Agency for Condo Insurance
Why Choose Us
We review your HOA's master policy documents before recommending coverage amounts, so there are no gaps between what the association covers and what your individual HO-6 policy picks up - a step most agencies skip entirely.
Common Condo Insurance Scenarios
Neighbor's Plumbing Leak
Water from an upstairs unit damages your hardwood floors and drywall - your HO-6 policy covers interior repairs the HOA master policy excludes.
Theft of Personal Property
Laptop, bicycle, and electronics stolen from your Madison condo are covered under personal property limits you choose at policy inception.
Guest Injury Liability
A visitor slips and falls inside your unit, and your personal liability coverage handles medical bills and legal defense costs up to your policy limit.
Our Condo Insurance Process
HOA Document Review
We examine your association's master policy to identify exactly where HOA coverage ends - whether at bare walls, original fixtures, or the unit's exterior boundaries.
Interior Valuation
We calculate the replacement cost of your unit's interior improvements - flooring, countertops, cabinetry, and built-ins - based on current Madison contractor pricing.
Coverage Selection
We match your personal property inventory, liability needs, and loss assessment exposure to specific coverage amounts and any needed endorsements like scheduled valuables.
Policy Issuance
We bind your HO-6 policy and provide documentation your HOA or mortgage lender may require, typically delivered within one business day of your approval.
Condo Insurance - Frequently Asked Questions

The HOA master policy covers the building structure and common areas, but it does not cover your personal belongings, interior improvements, or your personal liability. Without an HO-6 policy, those exposures are entirely uninsured.
Most Madison condo owners need between $30,000 and $75,000 in personal property coverage depending on electronics, furniture, clothing, and specialty items. We recommend doing a quick room-by-room inventory before selecting a limit.
Yes, personal property coverage typically extends to theft of your bicycle from common areas like a building storage room or outdoor rack, subject to your deductible. High-value bikes may need a scheduled endorsement for full replacement cost coverage.
