One of the most important investments you’ll ever make for your home and your family is financing the roof that is over their heads. A new roof is a major commitment, and covering the costs upfront is not something that is easily done. Tri County Roofing & Siding can help you find a way to finance your new roof that is just right for you and your budget.
We recommend Springleaf Financial Services. Springleaf Financial Services can provide you with the perfect plan for clients looking to make installments in 3, 6, or 12 month payment plans.
If enough equity on your home has built up, you can apply for a home equity loan. These loans can be stretched out for a number of years to lower your monthly payments.
Even if you don’t have home equity built up, you can apply for this loan at a low interest rate.
Paying by credit card for your new roof replacement may be the most costly option when considering financing for your roof. However, if it is an emergency, this may be the best option when working on a tight schedule and during desperate times.
Try adjusting your personal budget over a period of time to save up enough money to cover the costs of your roof replacement.
Be knowledgeable about roofing storm chasers and fake contractors who are only trying to scam you out of your money. Roofing storm chasers will come to a town that was recently hit by a devastating storm, promising inexpensive work to be done. After you have signed on with them, they will flee with your money, often with no work completed in return.
Be sure to obtain more than just one estimate from several different reputable contractors so you can determine what should be the fair amount. After you have gotten a figure for what the total cost should be, calculate how much money you will be able to put towards your roof replacement after paying other bills. Carefully consider which of the above financing options would work best for your budget.
Homeowners living in the Savannah area are encouraged to contact Tri County Roofing & Siding about a new roof estimate and also to discuss roof replacement financing methods.

There are a lot of roofing contractors out there who can do an acceptable job on your roof. With basic care, in most cases you can weed out a bad roof repair company. Checking references, insurance, licensing and how long they have been in business are good indications. Some roofers are great because they go the extra mile to do a great job. Finding these is a little tougher.
A lot of roofers just look at the top of the building or house, and often they make a good judgement about what is needed. A great roof repair company will inspect the attic. No one likes surprises, and even a contractor does not want to find major problems once they have stripped off the roof. Leaks may also not be evident from outside, and will be found with an attic inspection
It can be part of the attic inspection, but a great roofer makes sure the ventilation is in good shape. That will make the roof last longer, and help it to hold up when there are extremes in weather. If an attic is not properly ventilated, it can be fixed with the new roof, and therefore could be part of the estimate when preparing for the job. Not having the roof ventilated adequately can also void a manufacturer’s warranty, so if the shingles go bad, the owner can be out of luck.
Homeowners hate surprises when work is being one, and contractor’s don’t usually like the idea of facing an irate home-owner when they have to explain why the cost is going up. A great roof repair company will have a plan for what will happen if something bad is discovered once the old roof comes off. A great roofer would explain the possibilities to the owner, and what the plan is if problems are discovered after work begins.
A great roofer will also take pains to not cause problems. They will take pains to protect your flowers, grass, shrubbery, and anything else that could be damaged. They will have a plan to protect your property as materials come off your roof. No doubt some things will fall where you wish they would not, but a great roofer will take precautions to keep that to a minimum.
If you don’t just want someone to get the job done, but want a great contractor, contact us today!

When General James Oglethorpe first founded the city of Savanna in 1733, he probably had no idea how distinct the town would remain nearly 300 years later. Savanna’s historic architecture was eventually threatened in 1950 when many row houses and mansions were demolished in a great push for revitalization. Thankfully, many local area residents knew Savanna had something special that required preservation. [Read more…] about Savannah Historic Home Restoration
