Compare Condo (HO-6) Insurance for Piedra Unit Owners
Your association’s master policy protects the building and common areas—but not everything inside your home. We size your “walls-in” Coverage A, add Loss Assessment, Water Backup, Ordinance or Law, and the right personal liability so you’re protected in Piedra’s unique housing landscape.
Why HO-6 Matters in Piedra
Condo ownership splits responsibility between the association (for the building and common elements) and you (for the interior and your belongings). Piedra’s mix of properties means master policies and bylaws aren’t uniform—some are bare-walls, others are all-in. Your HO-6 fills what the master policy doesn’t, covering your unit’s interior, upgrades, personal property, and liability.
Local considerations: potential for weather-related issues like flooding or snow damage; many associations use higher deductibles, making loss assessment limits important. If your unit is in a lower area, water backup becomes especially valuable.
Step 1: Identify Your Master Policy Type
| Master Policy Type | What It Usually Covers | Your HO-6 Should Emphasize |
|---|---|---|
| Bare-Walls / Studs-Out | Structure and common elements up to the unfinished interior surface | Higher Coverage A (walls-in) for drywall, flooring, cabinets, built-ins, fixtures; betterments and improvements |
| All-In / Single-Entity | Structure, common elements, and standard interior finishes originally provided | Upgrades beyond original specs, personal property, loss assessment, and water backup |
| Modified All-In | All-in with carve-outs (e.g., interior glass, fixtures) | Targeted walls-in for carved-out items + loss assessment |
Bring your master policy certificate and the insurance section of the bylaws/master deed. We’ll read the definitions with you and tailor Coverage A precisely.
Step 2: Build the Right HO-6 Package
Walls-In (Coverage A)
- Drywall, paint, flooring, built-ins, cabinets, countertops
- Fixtures (sinks, tubs, lighting), interior doors and trim
- Betterments and improvements above “builder grade”
Personal Property (Coverage C)
- Furniture, clothing, electronics—choose RC or ACV
- Schedule jewelry/fine arts; consider special sub-limits
- Off-premises protection for items temporarily away
Loss of Use (ALE)
- Temporary housing and extra living costs after a covered loss
- Crucial if damage in a neighboring unit affects yours
Personal Liability and MedPay
- $300k–$1M typical; consider a Personal Umbrella
- Guests’ medical payments regardless of fault (limits vary)
Key Add-Ons
- Loss Assessment—for HOA deductibles or shortfalls after a covered loss
- Water Backup / Sump Overflow—especially for areas prone to weather events
- Ordinance or Law—code-required upgrades to your interior after a loss
- Equipment Breakdown—for sudden failure of covered systems (availability varies)
- Service Line—damage to underground lines you’re responsible for (availability varies)
Step 3: Sizing Your Limits (Piedra-Specific Tips)
- Walls-In: If your building is bare-walls, price out replacement for finishes and fixtures at today’s local costs; include any high-end upgrades.
- Loss Assessment: Ask your board/manager about the master policy deductible. Choose a limit that can cover your potential share.
- Water Backup: Consider this for Piedra’s potential weather risks—opt for higher sub-limits if your unit is in a vulnerable area.
- Ordinance or Law: Valuable for ensuring compliance with local building codes after repairs.
- Umbrella: If you have additional exposures, add a personal umbrella for extra liability.
Renting Out Your Condo?
If the unit is tenant-occupied, we’ll pivot to the appropriate landlord form to reflect rental liability and loss of rents. Colorado law sets requirements for rental units; we’ll align your policy and issue required certificates.
