For a roofer, it is common to ask for a deposit to be made. When you pay a roofer a deposit, they may offer a discount on the work as well. It also leaves both parties trusting each other more. The roofer knows that at least they have some of the money already. Also, the customer knows there is an incentive for the roofer to complete their job to get the rest of the payment.

Another method is to pay after completion of the roofing job. Should you choose to pay a roofer after completion, be aware of the timeframe in which you must complete the payment. With this option, payment will want to be made as quickly as possible to finish the transaction. Prior to choosing this option, you need to make sure that you have the means to do this. If you will not have the full amount by the time the job is completed, it will need to be discussed with your assigned sales representative.

Full payment up front is an option that is less common but has great benefits. Along with getting the payment done and out of mind, there is typically a discount offered as well. When paying a roofer fully up front should really be done if you have worked with the roofer previously. If you have never worked with the roofer and they are pushing this, looking into other companies may be a good idea. Sales representatives should be able to give you options that best go with your budget.

If you need some financial assistance go ahead and bring it up to the sales representative. It will most likely go through a trusted third party that has worked with the company before. The sales representative will be able to better let you know the financing options you have. At Royalty, we have partnered with EnerBank USA for the best financing options.
