How can I pay for a roof if I can't afford it?
If you can’t afford a roof replacement upfront, you still have options. First, check whether the damage may qualify for an insurance claim if it was caused by wind, hail, or another covered event.
If it’s not insurance-related, many roofing companies offer financing programs with monthly payment plans. You can also explore home equity loans, personal loans, or in some cases local assistance programs.
