Insurance pays for a lot of roof work in the Carolinas, but it never pays for everything. Deductibles, depreciation withheld, and the architectural shingle upgrade you actually want sit out of pocket. Financing covers that gap so your roof replacement, claim co-pay, or storm repair starts on schedule, not when the bank balance catches up.

How it works

Four steps, about ten minutes total.

01

Click Prequalify

Open the Hearth form in a new tab. The soft credit pull takes about 60 seconds and does not affect your score.

02

Compare Offers

Hearth pulls back real offers from its lender network. You see fixed APRs, term lengths, and monthly payments side by side.

03

Choose Your Plan

Pick the term and monthly payment that fits your cash flow. Lock the offer with the lender. Funds release in as little as 24 hours.

04

We Start Your Roof

Once your funds and signed scope of work are in hand, we book your install date and put the Hard Roof crew on the calendar.

Plan options

Three ways to pay over time.

Hearth surfaces every option you qualify for. These are the three we see most often on Charlotte roof projects.

Promo

0% Intro APR

Pay no interest during the introductory window when you qualify. Best for projects you can pay down inside 6 to 18 months.

  • Soft credit pull to check eligibility
  • Monthly payments only, no balloon
  • Pay off any time with no penalty
Standard

Long-Term Fixed

Stretch the cost over 2 to 12 years with a fixed APR from 7.99%. Predictable monthly payment, the entire loan amount funded at closing.

  • Loans from $1,000 to $250,000
  • APR locked at signing, never adjustable
  • Funds available in as little as 24 hours
Insurance Gap

Deductible & Upgrade

Use the loan only for the part insurance will not cover. Pay it down or pay it off when your claim check clears.

  • Pair with an in-house adjuster filing
  • Cover deductible, depreciation, or upgrade
  • No prepayment penalty on partner loans
Why finance a roof

The math most homeowners do not get told.

Claim gaps

Pay only what insurance leaves behind

Most storm claims approve the entire roof, but the homeowner still owes the deductible and any depreciation withheld. Financing covers that gap so the install is not blocked while you wait for the recoverable check.

Upgrade scope

Move up to architectural shingles

Insurance pays for what was on the roof, not what you want next. Financing lets you upgrade to architectural shingles with a 30-year manufacturer warranty without writing a separate check on install day.

Cash flow

Protect the entire home on your timeline

Roof failures rarely arrive on payday. A fixed monthly payment lets you book the install at the right time of year, not the right time of bank balance. Especially useful before the next hail season hits the Charlotte belt.

Hearth is a home improvement financing platform that connects homeowners to a network of vetted lender partners. You fill out one short form. Hearth runs a soft credit check that does not affect your score. You see real offers in minutes, then choose the one that works best.

Questions, answered

What homeowners ask before they apply.

Does prequalifying hurt my credit?

No. Hearth uses a soft credit check that does not affect your score. You enter your project details, see real loan options in minutes, and your credit report sees nothing until you choose a lender and complete a full application. Soft inquiries are invisible to other lenders and to FICO. This is the standard for home improvement financing because it lets you compare offers without risk.

What credit score do I need to get approved?

Hearth works with over a dozen lender partners, which means there are options across a wide credit range. Stronger credit unlocks the lowest APRs and the 0% promotional terms. Mid-range credit still qualifies for multi-year fixed payment plans. Even if your score is rebuilding, the soft pull costs nothing and is worth running to see what comes back.

How fast can the roof start after I am approved?

Most approved loans fund within 24 hours. Once Hearth shows you offers and you accept one, we lock your install date the same day you sign your Hard Roof scope of work. For storm season replacements, that often means your Charlotte roof goes on the calendar in the same week. We do not start tearing off until your funds and signed contract are in hand. That protects you and us.

What if I am also filing an insurance claim?

Financing and an insurance claim work together. Our in-house public adjuster files for your entire roof while the loan covers the deductible, depreciation withheld, or any upgrade scope insurance will not pay. When the claim check arrives, you can pay down or pay off the loan with no penalty. Most of our claim customers use the loan only for the gap, not the whole roof.

Can I pay the loan off early without a penalty?

Hearth partner lenders typically do not charge prepayment penalties on their standard personal loan products. You can pay extra each month, send a lump sum after an insurance claim closes, or pay the loan in full at any time. Always confirm prepayment language inside the specific offer the lender shows you, since terms come from the lender, not from Hearth or Hard Roof. The offer screen will state this in plain English.

Are there application fees or origination fees?

Prequalifying through Hearth is free. There is no fee to see your offers. Some lenders include an origination fee inside the APR depending on the product you select, and that fee is disclosed inside the offer before you accept. Other lenders charge no origination at all. You will see every cost in plain English before signing anything.

What roofing work can I finance?

Anything we install. Full roof replacements, repair scopes, gutter systems, skylight installations, siding work, and storm damage repair all qualify. Loan amounts run from $1,000 up to $250,000, which covers everything from a single slope repair to a commercial flat roof replacement. Most Charlotte residential replacements fall in the $12,000 to $22,000 range. You can also finance shingle upgrades that insurance will not cover.

¿Está disponible en español?

Sí. Nuestro equipo es completamente bilingüe y te acompañamos en cada paso del proceso de financiamiento. La aplicación de Hearth puede estar en inglés, pero llama al 980-350-7446 y un miembro del equipo te ayuda con la solicitud, te explica las ofertas, y te traduce los términos del préstamo. No necesitas hablar inglés para tener un techo financiado con cero pago inicial. Servimos a familias hispanohablantes en todo Charlotte, Concord, Fort Mill, y Rock Hill.
