We also incorporate invasive building assessments to provide a clearer, more complete picture of your property’s condition.

RESERVE STUDIES IN RHODE ISLAND
One of the most important responsibilities of any common interest community is planning for the future. A reserve study is a detailed financial planning tool used by homeowners associations (HOAs), condominium associations, and common interest communities to prepare for future major expenses. Hennessy Reserve Partners prepare reserve studies by assessing the condition and lifespan of shared community assets (like roofs, pools, roads, landscaping, and common areas). We then estimate the cost of maintaining or replacing them over time. Hennessy Reserve Partners makes the reserve study process easier on the board by providing a proactive reserve plan.
