Compare Condo (HO-6) Insurance for Fountainebleau 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 Fountainebleau's unique housing landscape.
Why HO-6 Matters in Fountainebleau
Condo ownership splits responsibility between the association (for the building and common elements) and you (for the interior and your belongings). Fountainebleau’s mix of mid-rise buildings and suburban styles 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: Florida’s hurricane risks and flooding increase water-damage and code-upgrade exposure; many associations use higher deductibles, making loss assessment limits important. If your unit is in a flood-prone 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 & common elements up to the unfinished interior surface | Higher Coverage A (walls-in) for drywall, flooring, cabinets, built-ins, fixtures; betterments & 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 & trim
- Betterments & 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 & extra living costs after a covered loss
- Crucial if damage in a neighboring unit affects yours
Personal Liability & 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 flood-prone areas
- 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 (Fountainebleau-Specific Tips)
- Walls-In: If your building is bare-walls, price out replacement for finishes & fixtures at today’s local costs; include any high-end upgrades.
- Loss Assessment: Ask your board/manager about the master policy deductible (common in hurricane-prone areas). Choose a limit that can cover potential shares.
- Water Backup: Fountainebleau’s proximity to flood zones makes this endorsement essential—consider higher sub-limits.
- Ordinance or Law: Valuable for buildings needing updates after storm damage.
- Umbrella: If you rent the unit or face higher risks, 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 (or condo-landlord variant) to reflect rental liability and loss of rents. Florida law requires specific disclosures and compliance for rentals; Miami-Dade County may have additional rules. We’ll align your policy and issue required certificates.
