Getting a new roof through Home Run PACE financing
New Roof Financing FAQ
If you’re unsure how to pay for a new roof with no money, there are several roof financing options that may allow you to install your roof today, with no upfront costs. PACE financing can be a great option. PACE provides 100% financing for roofing projects, up to 20% of the value of your home. There are no upfront payments with PACE and depending on when your roof installation occurs, you may not have to make your first payment for up to 18 months. Visit the PACE Funding page for more information.
Insurance policies will often cover roof repairs or replacement if your roof was damaged from a sudden accident or act of nature, such as a falling tree, hurricane or hail damage. However, if your roof needs to be replaced due to general wear and tear over time, your insurance will most likely not cover the cost. We encourage you to check with your insurance provider for the specifics of your policy relative to covering the cost of a new roof.
PACE isn’t a traditional roof loan, so we don’t use your credit score to determine if you are eligible for new roof financing. Approval is based on the amount of equity you have in your home, your mortgage payment history, and your ability to repay your PACE assessment. PACE rewards you for the years you spent saving for a down payment and for responsibly paying your mortgage on time, allowing you to get roof financing even with bad credit.
Yes! If you choose to finance your new roof with PACE, you will pay off the cost of your roof gradually as part of your ongoing property tax payments. Many people choose to pay their property taxes monthly using an escrow account that is tied to their monthly mortgage payments. This is a great option if you are hoping to make monthly payments over time to cover the cost of a new roof.
There are government programs that may help cover some or all of the costs of a new roof. The Weatherization Assistance Program, Single Family Home Repair Loans and Grant Program, The Tribal Energy Program, and The Housing Preservation Grant are all designed to help offset the cost of a new roof.
These programs have strict regulations around how to apply and who qualifies, and funding can be limited. If you don’t qualify for any of these government programs and are wondering how to pay for a new roof, Home Run Financing can be a great financing option.
