Roof money comes from a lender or from savings and insurance, and pricing the work commits you to neither.

Roof financing in Skiatook, OK

Roof money in Skiatook comes from a lender, from an insurance settlement, or out of your own savings, and none of it comes from us. What our roofers handle is the roof itself: what's wrong up there, what fixing it involves, and what that comes to.

So what use is that when the money's the problem? Our roofers get on the roof, measure it, write down what's wrong, and hand back an itemized estimate at no charge. That one document is what a lender works from, what an insurance claim gets measured against, and what you'll weigh your own savings against.

The two places roof money comes from

Those three sort into two. One is borrowed money, and borrowing costs you something on top of the roof. The other is money you don't pay to use, either what a carrier owes you on a covered claim or what you've already set aside, and it covers what it covers.

A lender our roofers already use

Our roofers often have a finance company they already send paperwork to, so it moves with the job. The rate, the term, the credit check and the approval belong to that lender, a separate company from anyone who sets foot on your roof. Not every roofer keeps a plan going, so ask early.

Ask for, in writing
  • What's the total cost of the loan over its full term?
  • Is there a penalty for paying the balance off early?
  • Is the rate fixed for the whole term or does it move?
Insurance money, or paying outright

After a covered storm the carrier's money usually arrives in stages, and it pays for what the policy says it pays for, which the claim side settles. Paying outright is the same money with nobody in between: yours already, spent once, no term attached. Either way the estimate is what the number is checked against.

Ask for, in writing
  • What does the policy pay now, and what is held back?
  • Does the deductible come out first or last?
  • Does the settlement cover the estimate's code items?

Every rate, term and monthly figure belongs to whoever's putting up the money, and it's on them to hand you those numbers in writing. The roof itself is what your roofer puts a price on.

What to put to a lender before signing

Five questions that decide what borrowing for a roof really costs.

No. Roof financing comes from a lender, from an insurance settlement, or from your own money, and that isn't ours to offer, price or approve. What our roofers hand you is the itemized estimate the money side works from.
A lender works from a written and itemized estimate: the work, the materials, the quantities and the price, signed by our roofer, who produces it as a matter of course and at no charge, so you'll have it in hand whether the job ends up financed or not.
Yes, and that's a common combination. The settlement covers the storm damage, and borrowed money covers the deductible, an upgrade, or work the policy won't touch. Keeping the two apart is easier with the estimate in hand, because you can point every part of the work at one source or the other, and what a replacement here runs is measured the same way.
The estimate first is the cheaper order. A borrowing figure set before anyone's been on the roof is a guess at what the roof needs, and a roofer should be willing to tell you the job's smaller than you feared rather than let you borrow to a number nobody measured.
Prepayment is the word to use. Ask whether clearing the balance early saves the remaining interest or whether it's charged up front, ask whether there's a fee for doing it, and get both answers before you sign.
