Pay for Your Roof Over Time
A new roof is one of the biggest repairs a home needs, and it rarely waits until the savings account catches up. Financing spreads the cost across monthly payments, so you can replace a failing roof now and keep your savings for everything else.
Horizon offers financing through Greensky, a lender that works with home improvement contractors. It is most often used for a full roof replacement, and we help you through the application.
Financing starts with a free roof inspection and estimate, so you know the scope of work before you borrow anything. From there, you can prequalify, review your terms and decide at your own pace.
Not sure you need a new roof yet? A free roof inspection shows where your roof stands before you decide anything.

How Roof Financing Works, Step by Step
1
Get a free inspection and estimate
We inspect your roof and give you a free estimate, so you know the scope of work before you borrow. Your financing is built around that estimate.
2
Apply and prequalify
Apply with Greensky online or in the app, or from a link we send you. The application is paperless, and you provide personal and financial details.
3
Review your approval and terms
If you are approved, the lender shows your terms: the interest rate (fixed or variable), loan amount, repayment schedule, loan term and any fees. Read them carefully before you accept.
4
Schedule your roof
Once you are approved, you have 6 months to use your credit limit. Work begins under your agreement with Horizon, and we protect your home and landscaping while we work. See our roof replacement cleanup and property protection process.
5
Funding and monthly payments
Greensky normally pays Horizon directly, and your repayment to Greensky begins with monthly ACH payments from your bank account. Your estimator confirms how your plan is set up.
Why Finance a Roof Replacement?
A new roof is a major purchase. These are common reasons homeowners choose to spread the cost.
Keep your savings available
Monthly payments leave your savings in place for emergencies and other expenses, instead of spending them on a single large bill.
Replace the roof before damage spreads
Waiting on a worn roof can let moisture reach the decking and the inside of your home. Financing lets you act on your timeline, not the roof’s.
Protect your home’s value
A new roof protects the structure of your home and removes a common concern for buyers and inspectors when it is time to sell.
A more comfortable home
Modern roofing materials, along with proper ventilation, can help your home hold its temperature more evenly through the Carolinas summers and winters.
How to Choose a Financing Option
Start with your budget
Decide what monthly payment fits comfortably, then work back to the loan amount and term. Your free estimate gives you the project cost to plan around.
Check eligibility
Programs differ on credit, income and documentation. Prequalifying shows where you stand before you commit.
Compare terms side by side
Look at the interest rate, loan term, monthly payment and fees together. You are free to compare Greensky with a loan from your own bank or credit union.
Other routes homeowners use include personal loans and home equity loans or lines of credit. A home equity loan usually involves an appraisal of your home. Ask your bank or credit union what they offer, then compare it with the financing we arrange.
Before You Finance: Estimates, Insurance and Warranty
Free estimates
Every roof is different, so we give you a free estimate after a free inspection. Our Charlotte roof replacement cost guide explains what drives the cost of a new roof, and you can request a free estimate at any time.
Workmanship warranty
Our residential roof work is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty. See our roofing FAQs for more.
Insurance claims
If hail or wind damaged your roof, insurance may pay part or all of the work. We inspect the roof, document the damage and help you through the roof insurance claim process. If you want to know where financing fits after a claim, ask your estimator.
Storm damage
Not sure what caused the damage? A roof inspection shows whether your roof has storm damage and whether it needs repair or replacement.

Roof Financing FAQs
What credit score do I need to qualify for roof financing?
The lender sets the requirements, and they vary by program. A higher credit score generally earns better terms, but some programs approve applicants with lower scores. Prequalifying is a good way to see where you stand before you commit.
How long does approval take?
Timing depends on the lender and how complete your application is. Greensky's application is paperless, which keeps things moving, and your estimator can tell you what to expect.
What do I need to apply?
You provide personal and financial details, and the lender may ask you to verify your identity or income. The application is paperless, so there are no documents to send back and forth.
Does the borrower have to be the homeowner?
No. The borrower does not need to be the homeowner, and joint applicants are welcome on every application.
Can I finance a roof repair, or only a replacement?
Replacements are the most common projects financed, but roof repairs can qualify too. Eligibility depends on the project and the lender, so ask your estimator.
What other kinds of loans can I use for a new roof?
Besides contractor-arranged financing like Greensky, homeowners use personal loans and home equity loans or lines of credit. Ask your bank or credit union for their terms and compare them with the financing we offer.
Will my homeowners insurance affect whether I qualify?
Not directly. Your insurance does not decide whether you qualify for a loan, but it does matter for the project. If hail or wind damaged your roof, insurance may cover part or all of the work, and we help you through the roof insurance claim process.
Can I finance a more expensive roofing material?
Yes, as long as the cost fits within the credit the lender approves for you. The amount you qualify for depends on your credit and the lender's review. Our Charlotte roof replacement cost guide explains what drives the cost of a roof, and your free estimate shows the cost for your home.
How do I make payments?
Greensky normally pays Horizon directly, and your repayment to Greensky begins with monthly ACH payments from your bank account. Your estimator confirms how your plan is set up.
What if I have a problem with the roofing work after I take out a loan?
The loan and the roofing work are two separate agreements. The loan is between you and the lender, and the work is between you and Horizon. Read both before you sign, and ask us anything about the work at your free estimate. Our residential roofs carry a 5-year workmanship warranty, and our roofing FAQs have more.
How do I get started?
Schedule a free roof inspection and estimate by calling or texting 980-275-1085 or booking online. Once you know the scope of work, your estimator can walk you through your financing options.
