Reserve studies · Cost segregation · Property & project management — Atlanta

Know what your property needs, and when.

TaylorCo walks the site, measures what's there, and tells your board or ownership what each component will cost and when it comes due. Then we can manage the project or do the work ourselves.

After the study

A reserve study is where it starts.

The study tells your board what's coming due and when. When a component comes up, we're the firm that already knows the property, so we can help with what comes next.

Inside a real study

Pages a board can actually read.

Two pages from a recent study, with the association's details removed. The summary comes first, in plain language, before any of the component schedules.

Executive summary page of a real reserve study showing 70.8% funded, current and recommended monthly contributions, and low risk of special assessment — Page one of the findings: where the fund stands, what each plan costs per home, and the risk of a special assessment.

Chart of percent funded over 30 years for the selected plan, full funding, baseline, and current contribution — Every plan on one chart. The dotted line is the current contribution, falling below zero; the board's plan is the solid line on top.

What we do

We advise, and we do the work.

Most firms either consult or build. TaylorCo does both. The people writing your reserve study or comparing your bids have done the work themselves, so the numbers come from someone who knows what a job actually takes.

Cost segregation studies

An engineering-based study that identifies the parts of your building that can be depreciated over 5, 7, or 15 years instead of 27.5 or 39, so you can take more depreciation sooner.

From the field

What we see on site.

Every recommendation starts with a site walk. These are photos from our own inspections and jobs around Atlanta.

A mini excavator digging out eroded soil around a concrete stormwater outlet structure on a wooded slope — BeforeExcavating around an HOA's stormwater outlet, where runoff had cut into the red clay. We brought in a hydrology engineering firm, scoped the repair, selected the contractor, and managed the work.

The repaired stormwater outlet with a new corrugated pipe section and a bed of riprap stone below it — AfterThe same outlet after repair: a new pipe section and riprap, built to the engineer's design, to slow the water and hold the slope.

A long pile of cut pine trunks and limbs stacked on bare red-clay ground near a road — Tree workPines our crew cut and stacked on a common-area lot. Next we mulched the brush and hauled the logs. Cutting is half the job; cleanup is the other half.

Close-up of a stone entrance column with an open joint beneath its cast stone cap — Deferred maintenanceAn open joint under the cap of a stone entrance column. Water that gets in here works the stones loose over time.

Branches and leaves lying on an asphalt shingle roof beneath overhanging trees — ConditionBranches and leaf litter on a shingle roof under overhanging limbs. Debris holds moisture against the shingles and feeds clogged gutters.

A bedroom with the ceiling drywall collapsed onto the floor, exposing joists and insulation — TurnoverTenant damage found at a rental turnover: the bedroom ceiling down to the joists. We cleared the debris, then hung, taped, and finished new drywall.

Rainwater running across the floor of a wooded common area between pine trees — DrainageStormwater crossing a wooded common area during a heavy rain, carrying pine straw and soil downhill.
