Reserve studies in Colorado Springs and Pueblo
From Monument and the north end of El Paso County down to Fountain and Pueblo, the southern Front Range has its own hail record and plenty of hillside communities with retaining walls and steep private drives.
Insured damage from the July 28, 2016 hailstorm in Colorado Springs, according to the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association.
Two big storms on record
RMIIA lists the July 28, 2016 Colorado Springs storm at $352.8 million in insured damage and the July 29, 2009 Pueblo storm at $232.8 million. Both put roofs at the center of local reserve planning.
Hillsides and drainage
Communities on the foothills west of I-25 often maintain retaining walls, drainage channels and detention ponds. These are easy to leave out of a component list and expensive when they fail, so ask the preparer to walk them.
A higher city than Denver
Colorado Springs sits at about 6,035 feet. The WHO puts the rise in UV at 10 to 12 percent per 1,000 meters, so paint, sealants and wood decks here age a little faster than the same products at lower elevations.
The policy is the same statewide
Wherever the community is, CCIOA asks the board for a written reserve study policy that says when a study is prepared, what it covers, whether there is a funding plan, where the money would come from and whether the study rests on physical and financial analysis. Read what CCIOA asks of boards, or draft your own with the policy sentence on our homepage.

From the plains at 5,000 feet to resort towns near 9,600, elevation changes how fast things wear. We match you with a firm that already works at yours.
Questions on this topic
Do firms travel to Pueblo and Cañon City?
Most firms that cover the Front Range include Pueblo. We look for one that already works in your county before we name it to you.
Should military housing or rental-heavy communities do anything different?
The CCIOA policy requirement is the same. Where many units are rentals, boards often find the yearly owner disclosure is the main way absent owners see the reserve position, so a clear study summary helps.
