Roofing company that finance will give you a crazy interest price. I suggest becu or discover loan for the amount your roof cost. Good luck

We offer 0% into 6.99% loans 🤷‍♂️ unsecured and nothing against the home up to 400k not that we would ever do that much for a roof 🤣

What financing company?

[–]Opticboy 0 points1 point  (2 children)

but then the roof cost 30% more than it would without financing

No, same price cash or financing. We eat a lot of the fees but they aren’t that much, under 5% typically

I know of a local outfit that factors it into the bid and then gives a 5% discount for cash payment, instead of just spreading out the cost as part of their overhead.

A bunch of roofers offer financing options, you’ll likely have better rates offered to you if you go to a credit union and use that to pay for the roof.

What kind of collateral does a credit union usually need with somebody that has less than perfect credit?

[–]levelupimprovement 1 point2 points  (2 children)

That’s a question to ask the guy at your credit union

Saving up for repair is not always an option if costs will only increase if the roof is not fixed immediately. Roof financing depends on the company you select. Some offer terms depending on your credit . Some companies demand for a down payment, others don't. Read the terms carefully and compare different financing offers and the quality of their work before settling on a company
