Commercial Property
Rebuilds the shared buildings and common elements after a covered loss, typically at replacement cost rather than depreciated value. Equipment breakdown for shared boilers, elevators and HVAC can be written alongside it.
Master insurance for the association, HO-6 for the unit owner, and a written record of why each was placed the way it was — for West Virginia community associations.
The master policy
We place master insurance programs for community associations in West Virginia — property and general liability on the shared buildings and common elements, plus the directors and officers, crime and umbrella cover a board needs alongside them. Every review sets the responses from the markets we approach side by side on coverage, deductibles and limits, and ends in a written record your board can file with its minutes.
Where the master policy ends and a unit owner's HO-6 begins depends on the master-policy form, governing documents, applicable law and endorsements.
Coverage
Placed as one program, so the limits and deductibles agree with each other rather than being bought in isolation.
Rebuilds the shared buildings and common elements after a covered loss, typically at replacement cost rather than depreciated value. Equipment breakdown for shared boilers, elevators and HVAC can be written alongside it.
Responds when someone is hurt on common property, and under a standard form the carrier defends the association as well.
Sits above the primary liability limits, for the claim that exceeds them. An umbrella generally follows the underlying forms, so what the primary excludes it usually excludes too.
Responds when a board member is personally named over a governance decision — defence costs are usually the largest part of it.
Covers theft of association funds by an employee or volunteer, and — where the form is extended for it — by a third party. Lender guidelines commonly set a minimum limit based on the funds you hold.
Meets the extra cost of rebuilding to today's code after a covered loss, when the original construction no longer complies. It is bought in parts, each with its own limit, and matters most in older buildings.
The owner's side of the same arrangement — interior finishes, belongings, personal liability and loss assessment, written against your association's actual master policy. Loss assessment carries its own limit, which is worth reading against the master deductible.
Workers compensation and earthquake are available separately, and are quoted alongside the program where an association needs them. Coverage descriptions here are general: availability varies by jurisdiction, association type and carrier, and the policy issued governs.

Request Insurance ReviewThe process
Four stages, in order, on a schedule the board can hold us to.
We read the current policies, the loss runs and the governing documents, and identify where the coverage and the bylaws disagree.
We approach our directly appointed markets that write your risk and set the responses beside one another on coverage, deductibles and limits.
We bind the option the board selects and confirm the certificates, mortgagee clauses and lender evidence are correct.
We issue The Board Record so the decision, and the reasoning behind it, is documented for the minutes.
Our markets
Direct appointments with twelve markets — national insurers alongside the specialists.
One submission goes out to the markets that write it. Carrier availability varies by state, association type and risk profile, and not every market is approached on every placement.
