How does Hearth compare to other roof financing lenders?
Hearth is a financial technology company that connects homeowners with a network of 18 lender partners, facilitating financing for home improvement projects. By partnering with Hearth, Roofing Army offers clients access to personalized loan options, enabling them to manage roofing expenses through affordable monthly payments. This collaboration simplifies the financing process, making essential roofing projects more accessible and budget-friendly for homeowners.
Is there a prepayment penalty?
Hearth offers loan options with no prepayment penalties, giving Roofing Army customers the flexibility to pay off their balance early. Paying sooner can save homeowners money on interest.
What are your interest rates?
Interest rates for personal loans through Hearth can start as low as 7.99%, but the annual percentage rate (APR) depends on factors like your credit score, debt-to-income ratio, loan amount, and more. With Roofing Army and Hearth, you’ll receive transparent terms tailored to your financial situation.
What is the difference between a hard and soft inquiry?
When applying for financing through Hearth with Roofing Army, it’s important to understand credit inquiries. Hard inquiries occur when you formally apply for a loan, credit card, or mortgage, providing lenders with a detailed credit report. These inquiries may temporarily impact your credit score and remain on your credit report for up to two years. Soft inquiries, on the other hand, occur during pre-qualification or pre-approval and provide lenders with a high-level credit summary without affecting your credit score. Hearth’s pre-qualification process only involves a soft inquiry, so you can explore loan options worry-free.
Will this affect my credit score?
Hearth’s prequalification process, offered through Roofing Army, does not affect your credit score. However, if you choose to apply for a loan directly with a lender, this may result in a hard credit pull, depending on the lender’s policies. A hard pull could temporarily impact your credit score.
What information do I need to apply for a loan?
To apply for financing through Hearth with Roofing Army, homeowners need to provide their name, contact information, physical address, Social Security Number, and income verification. Additionally, your credit report must be unfrozen or unlocked to proceed with the application.
How much can I apply for?
Homeowners can view prequalification results for loans up to $250,000 with flexible terms ranging from 1 to 12 years, making it easy to find a financing option that fits their needs.
How quickly can I get a roof replacement loan?
Homeowners can typically expect to receive their funds within 2–7 days after their loan is approved, ensuring a quick and efficient process to start your roofing project.
Is a loan better than using a credit card?
Every financing option has its pros and cons. Roofing Army recommends using Hearth to explore your estimated monthly payment options. This helps you understand your buying power and determine a monthly payment plan that fits your budget and preferences.
