We frequently encounter this question at Five Star Insurance Agency, and we&#8217;re here to provide clarity.<\/p>\n<p>The most significant difference? With homeowners insurance, you typically cover the entire structure&mdash;roof, walls, yard, and everything in between. However, with a condo, the exterior is usually covered by your condo association&#8217;s master policy. Your responsibility generally begins at the interior walls.<\/p>\n<p>The challenging part is that not all master policies are identical. Some cover more, some less. That&#8217;s why reading the fine print is crucial (we can assist with that). You need to understand where their coverage ends and yours should begin, so you&#8217;re not left with coverage gaps.<\/p>\n<p>Your condo insurance should cover your personal belongings, any upgrades or renovations you&#8217;ve made, and liability protection in case someone gets injured inside your unit. Don&#8217;t forget about loss of use coverage, too&mdash;if something happens and you can&#8217;t stay in your place, that can help cover the cost of temporary housing.<\/p>\n<p>At Five Star Insurance Agency, we&#8217;ll help you understand your condo association&#8217;s policy and determine exactly what you need. Serving Fords, NJ, and the surrounding areas, we&#8217;re all about making insurance less overwhelming and more like a conversation.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have questions? Let&#8217;s discuss them. Whether you just moved in or it&#8217;s been a while since you reviewed your coverage, we&#8217;re here to help you feel confident that your condo&mdash;and everything in it&mdash;is protected.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you own a condo in Fords, NJ, you&#8217;ve probably pondered how your insurance works&mdash;and how it differs from a standard homeowners policy.
