Financing a New Roof: What You Need to Know
Replacing your roof is one of the biggest home improvement projects you will face. A strong, well-installed roof protects your home and adds long-term value. The challenge for many homeowners is figuring out how to pay for it. That is where roof financing comes in.
At Mountain View Exteriors, we believe you should not have to delay a needed roof replacement because of cost. Let’s walk through what you need to know about financing a new roof and how it can work for you.
Why Roof Financing Matters
A roof replacement is an investment that pays off for decades. While it improves your home’s safety and appearance, it can also increase property value and energy efficiency. The main hurdle is often the upfront expense. Roof financing gives you a way to spread the cost into predictable monthly payments instead of paying everything at once.
Roof Financing Options
Most homeowners have several choices when it comes to funding a new roof. Some use savings or a home equity loan, but many prefer dedicated roofing loan programs that simplify the process. At Mountain View Exteriors, we work with trusted lenders so you have clear and convenient options.
GreenSky Finance
GreenSky offers a “Buy Now, Pay Over Time” program. It is backed by Goldman Sachs Bank and allows homeowners to pay in manageable installments.
Wells Fargo Financing
We also partner with Wells Fargo Bank to provide flexible monthly payments. In many cases, approved applicants receive a special financing credit card, making it simple to track payments.
Both lenders offer plans subject to credit approval. The advantage of these programs is that you get the roof you need now and pay for it over time.
What to Consider Before Financing
Before choosing a financing plan, it helps to think through a few practical points:
- Monthly budget. Pick a payment schedule that fits your household income.
- Loan terms. Check the length of repayment and interest rate so you know the total cost.
- Future plans. If you plan to sell your home, financing can be an advantage since buyers appreciate a newer roof under warranty.
Financing is not just about making payments easier. It can also let you choose higher-quality materials like CertainTeed asphalt shingles or durable metal roofingthat provide longer protection.
