FAQ
Is contractor financing always the cheapest?
No. Compare APR, term, fees, dealer charges, prepayment terms and total repayment with other options.
Does a lower monthly payment mean a lower cost?
Not necessarily. A longer term can reduce the payment while increasing total interest.
Should I finance before comparing roof quotes?
It helps to first understand a realistic project range and then compare financing on the same project amount.
