New roof Financing
I’ll be the first to admit. No one really enjoys buying a roof. You roof is leaking, is old or worn out. Roof replacement only serves to rpotect your home, and may, depending on the house, improve the curbside appeal. Fewpeople budget to have their roof replaced.
What to do? You have your estimates, selected the contractor, negotiated and finalized on the price.
What financing options for roofs, either replacing or repair are out there?
Like ourselves, most companies accept credit cards, and in fact, if they don’t I’d be wary as perhaps their financial standing as a roofing contractor is questionable.
If your roof estimate is less than $3,500 it is best to go with the credit card option. Most people have air miles, so go get them!
If your estimate is over $3,500 then you can try your local bank for a HELOC or home improvement loan. Personally, I have had great experience with BECU. If you are in Seattle, Bellevue, Edmonds, Mill creek, Woodinville, Laurelhurst or wherever regionally in the Puget Sound. Give them a try.

If you have good equity in your house and limited income, and you are in the Seattle area you may qualify for City of Seattle Homewise Program.

Selecting a roofing contractor in seattle, or bellevue is a process for sure but with some good financing options, hopefully not as painful!
