Specialized insurance assistance for Associations. We help Boards and Property Managers navigate complex Master Policies, reduce premiums, and shield members from liability.
Bird Family Insurance
A Trusted Partner for Boards & Property Managers
Managing an Colorado association is already complex. Your insurance shouldn’t be.
From hailstorms and high-wind events to wildfire exposure and rising reconstruction costs, Colorado HOAs face risks that are constantly evolving. Add in board responsibilities, reserve planning, vendor contracts, and homeowner disputes; and it’s easy to see how insurance can become overwhelming.
We take that burden off your board.
We conduct a structured HOA policy review designed specifically for Colorado communities. That includes:
- Verifying replacement cost accuracy in today’s volatile construction market
- Reviewing hail and wind deductibles
- Evaluating wildfire exposure
- Ensuring Ordinance & Law coverage is properly structured
- Confirming Directors & Officers protection for board members
Then, as an independent Colorado agent based in Grand Junction, we shop multiple carriers to secure competitive options without compromising coverage.
No confusing policy language.
No guesswork.
No hidden gaps.
Essential Coverage for Your Association
A standard policy isn’t enough. We build robust packages that protect the physical assets and the people who manage them.
Commercial Property Insurance
Covers the buildings, common areas, clubhouses, and physical assets of the association against fire, wind, and other perils.
General Liability Insurance
Essential protection against slip-and-fall lawsuits occurring in common areas like walkways, pools, or parking lots.
Directors & Officers (D&O) Insurance
Protects the board from lawsuits alleging mismanagement, breach of contract, or failure to adhere to bylaws.
Crime & Fidelity Insurance
Safeguards the association’s reserve funds and operating accounts against theft or embezzlement by board members or employees.
Umbrella / Excess Liability Insurance
Provides high-limit coverage (e.g., $5M – $20M) that sits on top of your other policies to protect against catastrophic lawsuits.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Even if you have no employees, volunteers or contractors can trigger claims. This coverage is often required by law.
Insurance Planning That Protects HOA Budgets
HOA insurance premiums have increased dramatically across the country due to rising property values, litigation trends, natural catastrophe losses, and tightening underwriting standards. Many Boards feel trapped at renewal, facing double-digit increases with little explanation and few alternatives.
We approach renewal differently.
Before your policy ever hits the market, we analyze loss history, replacement cost valuations, deductible structure, ordinance and law limits, wind and hail exposure, and reserve alignment. This allows us to position your association correctly with carriers and avoid unnecessary premium spikes caused by incorrect property valuations or misclassified risk.
We also identify opportunities to restructure deductibles, layer umbrella coverage efficiently, and eliminate overlapping endorsements that inflate costs without improving protection. In many cases, associations are paying for coverage that does not align with their governing documents or actual exposure.
Insurance should support long-term financial stability. Not destabilize your annual budget.
Our goal is simple: stabilize dues, reduce surprise increases, and build an insurance structure that protects the association today while keeping renewal predictable tomorrow.
Common Questions About HOA Insurance
Insurance jargon can be confusing. Here are the answers to the most frequent questions we hear from Boards and Managers.
This is the #1 question we get. The Master Policy covers the association’s common areas and typically the building structure (roof, exterior walls). An HO-6 (Unit Owner) policy covers the interior of your specific unit (like cabinets, flooring, and appliances), your personal belongings, and personal liability. We review your CC&Rs to determine exactly where the ‘walls-in’ vs. ‘bare walls’ coverage lines are drawn.
Board members are volunteers, but they can be personally sued for decisions they make regarding budgets, vendor contracts, or rule enforcement. D&O Insurance pays for legal defense costs and settlements, protecting the personal assets (homes, savings) of individual board members from these lawsuits. Never serve on a board without it.
We recommend a full Master Policy Audit annually, specifically 90 days before your renewal. Construction costs rise every year; if your ‘Replacement Cost’ limit hasn’t been updated recently, your community could be underinsured by millions in the event of a total loss fire.
A Fidelity Bond (or Crime Coverage) protects the association’s funds from theft or embezzlement by board members, property managers, or employees. Most state statutes and lender guidelines (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac) require the HOA to carry a bond equal to 3 months of assessments plus the total amount in reserve funds.
Yes. We work with carriers who specialize in habitational risk. By bundling coverages, increasing deductibles where appropriate (shifting small claim risk to the HO-6 policies), and proving proper maintenance updates (roof, plumbing) to underwriters, we frequently save associations 10-20% while improving coverage terms.
