Frequently asked questions
Is contractor financing usually more expensive than a personal loan?
It varies by offer — some contractor financing includes promotional low or 0% introductory rates, while others carry higher standard rates once the promotional period ends. Compare the full terms, not just the advertised rate.
Can home equity financing lower my rate?
Often yes, since it's secured by your home, a home equity loan or HELOC can carry a lower rate than an unsecured personal loan — but it also puts your home up as collateral.
Does insurance ever cover part of a roof replacement?
Sometimes, if the damage is from a covered event like a storm. Check with your homeowners insurance provider before financing the full cost out of pocket.
