COVID-19 news and updates change quickly and frequently. Some of the information in this article may soon be out of date. We will do our best to keep details updated during this challenging time. The article below reflects information as of April 21, 2020.
Most home improvement projects are an investment for homeowners, especially trades that require large budgets, like roofing, solar, and windows. Through our homeowner surveys, we have learned more than 80 percent of homeowners would like to finance part (if not all) of their home improvement projects. Now is the time to proactively provide finance solutions for all of your customers.
There are multiple benefits to offering financing to homeowners. Contractors typically see an increase in close rate and job size. Homeowners have a better ability to upgrade to better quality energy-efficient solutions— which creates a happier customer overall.
While across the United States homeowners are home during this pandemic, now is an excellent time to consider your financing partners:
Sunlight Financial specializes in solar projects but does offer financing options for home improvement projects. Sunlight partners with contractors nationwide to provide homeowners with financing for home improvement upgrades, including the installation of residential solar systems.
