Condo insurance Orange County owners can rely on
Coverage for Southern California condo living
Condo insurance Orange County owners choose should match your building’s master policy and your unit’s finishes. An HO-6 policy covers your walls-in improvements and betterments, personal property at replacement cost, and personal liability for injuries in your unit. Philip B. Robinson Insurance sizes limits for kitchens, flooring, and bath upgrades, then aligns deductibles so water or smoke damage does not turn into an unpleasant surprise. For complete protection, many clients also consider umbrella insurance and coordinate with their broader personal insurance plan.
HOA master policy vs your policy
Every association is different. We review CC&Rs, bylaws, and master policy endorsements to determine where the HOA stops and your policy begins. Loss assessment coverage helps when the HOA charges unit owners for a covered property or liability loss, and we confirm special deductibles like high water-damage deductibles common in older buildings. Coastal associations near Dana Point and Newport Beach may have separate wind or flood considerations, which is why some households add flood insurance and earthquake insurance alongside the HO-6.
What does an HO-6 policy cover for my unit?
An HO-6 covers interior elements you are responsible for, like cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and built-ins, plus personal property and personal liability. We match limits to your finishes and add loss assessment where needed.
How do I choose limits for walls-in and personal property?
Start with a realistic estimate for improvements and betterments, then inventory personal belongings at replacement cost. We help set sub-limits for jewelry, art, or collectibles, and schedule items when appropriate.
Does my policy cover HOA assessments after a claim?
Loss assessment coverage can help when the association bills unit owners for a covered loss that affects common areas. We confirm the master policy details and set an amount that reflects your building’s risk profile.
How do deductibles interact with the HOA master policy?
If the master policy has a large water or wind deductible, the association may assess owners. Your HO-6 can respond when loss assessment is triggered by a covered peril and your limits are set appropriately.
Do I need flood or earthquake coverage for a condo?
Many master policies exclude flood and may not fully address earthquake. We discuss building construction, location, and lender requirements, then review private or NFIP flood options and separate earthquake solutions.
Coordinated condo coverage with clear guidance
Philip B. Robinson Insurance reviews your HOA documents, explains master coverage, and tailors your HO-6 so there are no gaps between policies. We coordinate with umbrella insurance when higher personal liability is needed and align renewal dates with your other lines.
