⚡ Free roof inspections available across Rhode Island. Mon-Sat, 7am to 7pm.
Many contractors will offer to finance your roof for you. It sounds convenient and it can be, but it is not always the best financial decision. When a contractor arranges financing on your behalf, there is usually a middleman involved, and that middleman has a cost that gets passed on to you in the form of higher interest rates or fees.
At TM Roofing we take a different approach. We give Rhode Island homeowners a clear picture of all their options and let them decide what makes the most sense for their situation. This page breaks down the main ways to finance a roof replacement so you can make an informed decision before committing to anything.
We work with Wisetack, a financing partner used by contractors across the country, to make the process simple and straightforward. If upfront cost is a concern, ask us during your free inspection and we will walk you through what is available for your situation.
We do not push financing as the default option. If paying directly makes more sense for you, that is what we will recommend. Our goal is to make sure you get the right roof at a cost that works for your budget, not to upsell you into a loan you do not need.

Applying for a loan involves a credit check which can cause a small temporary dip in your score. However, many lenders offer a soft credit pull to prequalify which does not affect your score. Check with the lender before you apply formally.
TM Roofing works with Wisetack which offers flexible financing for a range of credit profiles. The best way to find out what you qualify for is to ask us during your free inspection and we will be straight with you about what is available. If financing is not the right fit, home equity is another option worth exploring depending on your situation.
The total cost depends on the loan amount, the interest rate you qualify for, and the repayment term you choose. A longer term means lower monthly payments but more interest paid overall. TM Roofing provides a full itemised quote for your roof after a free inspection so you know exactly what you are financing before you commit to anything.
