Reserve Study Assumptions

Income is projected to increase an average of  5% per year.     

 

Expenses are also projected at 5% per year.

  • Comcast is currently based at 5% per year by contract.

  • Water is increasing more than 5% per year.

  • Landscape contract is for a 3-year period and usually increases 10-12% every 3 years.

 

    Painting

  • Projected to increase 2.75% per year compounded.

  • Does not include painting/repairing vinyl siding.

  • Current paint is holding up well after we had touch-up painting & caulking done in Sept. 2019.  Contractor says he thinks we can go until 2023, which is 12 years from our 2011 paint job.

 

    Roof

  • ·Roofing contractor said if we were to re-roof today, it would cost about $13,000 per roof.  The 2008 cost was $7,800 per roof.
         

  • Logic was, if roofing costs increased $5,200 per roof in its first 12 years of life, the cost would be approximately $10,200 per roof more than the $7,800 we paid in 2008.  We’re projecting to replace in 25 years at a cost of $18,000 per roof. The 2008 roof was a “30-year-rated roof,” and this is a normal time frame.

 

    Gutters

  • Replacement is projected to increase 2.75% compounded per year.
