Grand Rapids Reserve Study

A reserve study in Grand Rapids must consider shifting climate and weather risks, water levels and flooding, as well as permits and local governance.

We Understand Local Grand Rapids Conditions & Costs

Cold Winters and Snow Loads - Heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures can accelerate damage to roofs, siding, asphalt, and more.

Rainfall and Humidity – Powerful thunderstorms and high humidity require sufficient drainage systems and moisture-resistant materials.

Ice Dams & Roof Wear –These are common in poorly insulated or ventilated roofs.

Water Levels and Flooding – Areas near the river or lower elevations may have poor drainage or flooding.

Trees and Vegetation – Heavily wooded neighborhoods and older suburbs may experience maintenance issues with fallen tree limbs as well as root expansion related damages.

Building Code Compliance – The city of Grand Rapids requires permits for electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and structural work.
