We guide HOA boards through Colorado's construction defect process with clarity on your fiduciary duties, realistic cost projections, and strategic counsel that protects both the community and individual board members.
Foundation movement affecting entire buildings. Water intrusion in common areas damaging dozens of units. Building envelope failures creating systematic problems throughout the development. When construction defects impact your HOA, you're not dealing with a single home - you're facing community-wide issues that require coordinated response, significant financial resources, and decisions that impact every homeowner.
Special Assessments and Owner Approval"
Text: "Litigation costs split across all units, getting 65% owner approval under Colorado's new requirements, and explaining per-unit financial impact to neighbors who may not see the problems directly.
Some owners want immediate action, others resist any assessment, and board members face pressure from all sides while trying to make informed decisions about complex legal strategy.
Colorado's six-year statute of limitations creates urgency, but boards need realistic cost projections and outcome expectations before asking the community to approve special assessments.
We help boards understand what they're dealing with, what it will likely cost, and what realistic outcomes look like. This includes coordinating expert inspections, developing per-unit cost projections, preparing owner communications for approval votes, and navigating Colorado's mandatory pre-litigation process. We've guided dozens of Colorado HOAs through construction defect cases and understand both the legal requirements and the community dynamics boards must manage.
